Information technologies helped us explore the world much more than we'd expected. Now we make friends with people in the remotest end of the world through SNS, by exchanging messages with them, by sending email and by calling them on Skype. I know they gave so much to us for sure but took something from us at the same time.
Please Mr. Postman (The Marvelettes)
Oh yes, wait a minute, Mr. Postman
Wait, Mr. Postman
There must be some word today
From my boyfriend who's so far away
Please, Mr. Postman, look and see
Is there a letter, a letter for me?
I was standing here waiting, Mr. Postman
So, so patiently
For just a card, for just a letter
Saying he's returning home to me
Please, Mr. Postman
Oh yeah
Please, please, Mr. Postman
Woah yeah
So many days you passed me by
You saw the tears standing in my eye
You wouldn't' stop to make me feel better
By leaving me a card or a letter
Please, Mr. Postman, look and see
Is there a letter, oh yeah, in your bag for me
You know it's been so long
Yes, since I heard from this boyfriend of mine
You better wait a minute, wait a minute
Oh, you better wait a minute
Please, please, Mr. Postman
Please check and see
Just one more time for me
You better wait, wait a minute
Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute
Please, Mr. Postman
Deliver the letter, the sooner the better
Wait a minute, wait a minute
Wait a minute, please, Mr. Postman
Wait a minute, wait a minute
Woah
Wait, Mr. Postman

ねえちょっと,待ってよ郵便配達屋さん
待ってったら,ねえちょっと
今日こそは,何か絶対来てるはず
遠距離してるあの子から
お願いだから,よく見てよ
うちに手紙が来てるでしょ?
立ったまま,ここでずっと待ってたんだよ,郵便屋さんが来てくれるのを
諦めずに本当にずっと
きっとハガキが届いてて
そこに戻って来るよって書いてあると思うから
お願いだから,郵便屋さん
ねえ待ってよ,行かないで
もうずっと何日間も素通りだけど
泣きたい気持ちがわかってたでしょ?
なのにやっぱり来てくれなくて,これじゃ気分が良くならないよ
ハガキも手紙も来ないから
お願いだから,よく見てよ
カバンの中に入ってるでしょ?うちに手紙が来てるでしょ?
だってもう随分経つよ
連絡が最後にあったあの日から
待ってよ,そんなに急がないでよ
いいからちょっと待ってって
郵便屋さん,頼むから
お願いだから確認してよ
もう一回だけでいいから
待ってよ,そんなに急がないでよ
いいからちょっと待ってって
郵便屋さん,頼むから
うちに手紙を届けてよ
もう待つのはイヤなんだ,すぐに届いた方がいいから
待ってよ,そんなに急がないでよ
いいからちょっと待ってって
郵便屋さん,頼むから
お願いだから確認してよ
そんなに急いで行かないで
(余談)
それはさておき,「去る者日々に疎し」とか申しますが,歌詞を見る限り,この主人公も(本人の気持ちとは裏腹に)このまま件の恋人と自然消滅しそうな気配が濃厚です。
・・・だとするとこの「郵便屋さん」,遠からず主人公に逆ギレされるような気がします。
味のある日本語で胸にキュン来ました........
