空に 浮かぶ白いキャンパス
貴方は何を描く?
飾りの無い裸のままの気持ちも二人は言えずに...
Sora ni Ukabu shiroi canvas
Anata ha nani wo egaku?
Kazari no nai hadaka no mama no kimochi mo futari ha iezu ni...
What will you paint on the white canvas
Floating in the sky?
The limitless bared feelings are what we didn't say...

 

~Le vent du souvenir~
~Le vent du souvenir~

 

灰色の雲が葉のない枯木でひび割れ
二つに別れてから貴方に気づいた
Haiiro no kumo ga ha no nai kareki de hibiware
Futatsu ni wakarete kara anata ni kizuita
The ashen-coloured clouds split between the leafless withered trees.
Because we've parted, I've become aware of you.

 

後悔できないはかなさを偶然にも僕は思い出す
僕の爪の跡は貴方に今でも深くに滲んで
Koukai dekinai hakanasa wo guuzen ni mo boku ha omoidasu
Boku no tsume no ato ha anata ni ima de mo fukaku ni nijinde
Unable to repent, I'm suddenly reminded of transience.
Even now, the traces of my nails run deep on you.

 

"ただ一緒にいれるだけでいいよ" と優しい貴方
せつなすぎるその声が僕から離れずに
"Tada issho ni ireru dake de ii yo" to yasashii anata
Setsunasugiru sono koe ga boku kara hanarezu ni
"If we can just be together, it will be alright", you, my gentle love, said.
That too-lonely voice won't leave me.

 

後悔できないはかなさを偶然にも僕は思い出す
僕の爪の跡は貴方に今でも深くに滲んでる
Koukai dekinai hakanasa wo guuzen ni mo boku ha omoidasu
Boku no tsume no ato ha anata ni ima de mo fukaku ni nijinde
Unable to repent, I'm suddenly reminded of transience.
Even now, the traces of my nails run deep on you.

 

"ただ一緒にいれるだけでいいよ" と優しい貴方
せつなすぎるその声が僕か愛しくて
"Tada issho ni ireru dake de ii yo" to yasashii anata
Setsunasugiru sono koe ga boku ka aishikute
"If we can just be together, it will be alright", you, my gentle love, said.
To me, that too-lonely voice is dear.

 

今, 冬の空の色は貴方の涙の色
まだ離れないあの声が悲しい時ほど
Ima, fuyu no sora no iro ha anata no namida no iro
Mada hanarenai ano koe ga kanashii toki hodo
Now, the colour of the winter sky is the colour of your tears.
I still can't let go, even if your voice is so sad.

 

風が忘れさせてくれる... 全て ~le vent du souvenir~
風が貴方を消してくれる ~le vent du souvenir~
Kaze ga wasuresasete kureru... subete ~le vent du souvenir~
Kaze ga anata wo keshite kureru ~le vent du souvenir~
Let me forget the wind... all of it. ~le vent du souvenir~
The wind erases you. ~le vent du souvenir~

 

灰色の雲が葉のない枯木でひび割れ...
二つに別れてから貴方に気づいた...
そんな季節風...
Haiiro no kumo ga ha no nai kareki de hibiware
Futatsu ni wakarete kara anata ni kizuita...
The ashen-coloured clouds split between the leafless withered trees.
Because we've parted, I've become aware of you...
Of that season...

「僕と踊って戴けますか?」
"Boku to odotteitadakemasu ka?"
"May I have this dance?"

 

聖なる夜, 僕達は再会した.
その時の君の瞳の色は, なぜかとても哀しい色に見えた
君は言った 「愛している人がいる...........でもそれは叶わぬ恋だ.......」と
Seinaru yoru, bokutachi ha saikai shita.
Sono toki no kimi no hitomi no iro ha, naze ka totemo kanashii iro ni mieta
Kimi ha itta "Aishiteiru hito ga iru.......... demo sore ha kanawanu koi da......" to
In this sacred night, we reunite.
I wonder why the colour of your eyes seemed so sad.
You said, "There's someone I love........... but, that's a love that won't be given to me."

 

~結局, 僕は彼女に優しい言葉一つも, 掛けてあげる事が出来なかった.
そして, 彼女の僕の大切な気持ちも, 言えないまま~
~Kekkyoku, boku ha kanojo ni yasashii kotoba hitotsu mo, kaketeageru koto
ga dekinakatta.
Soshite, kanojo no boku no taisetsu na kimochi mo, ienai mama~
~In the end, I couldn't offer even one loving word to her.
And, even the important feelings I had for her, I couldn't say.~

窓硝子に書いたイニシャル消して また曇らせ
流れる景色を見ながら一人で貴方を想ってみる
Mado garasu ni kaita initial keshite mata kumorase
Nagareru keshiki wo minagara hitori de anata wo omottemiru
I erase the initials written on the window pane and it clouds again.
While watching the scenery pass alone, I try to think of you.

 

降り注ぐ愛で 結ばれてるのに満たされない 隙間埋めて
いつも貴方の側で愛を感じていたい ただそれだけで
Furisosogu ai de Musabareteru no ni mitasarenai Sukima umete
Itsumo anata no soba de ai wo kanjiteitai Tada sore dake de
Even though we were bound by an incessant downpouring of love, you were unsatisfied
with just filling the gaps.
All I wanted was to always be by your side and feel your love.

 

貴方抱いていて 狂おしい程にこの身が果てるまで
許されない愛と分かってる せめて今だけは... 夢の中で
Anata daiteite Kuruoshii hodo ni kono mi ga hateru made
Yurusarenai ai to wakatteru Semete ima dake ha... yume no naka de
I'll embrace you so tightly I go mad until this body is no more.
I know it's an unforgivable love, but at least now... it's in my dreams.

二人出逢ってしまった罪を 「後悔してる?」と呟いて
まだ引き返せる思ってたあの時に離れて行ければ
Futari deatteshimatta tsumi wo "Koukai shiteru?" to tsubuyaite
Mada hikikaeseru omotteta ano toki ni hanareteikereba
I murmur, "Do you regret it", the sin that we met?
I thought that we'd retrace our steps, but at that time, we parted.

 

降り注ぐ愛で結ばれてるのに満たされない 隙間埋めて
いつも貴方の側で愛を感じていたい ただそれだけで...
Furisosogu ai de Musabareteru no ni mitasarenai Sukima umete
Itsumo anata no soba de ai wo kanjiteitai Tada sore dake de
Even though we were bound by an incessant downpouring of love, you were unsatisfied
with just filling the gaps.
All I wanted was to always be by your side and feel your love.

 

貴方抱いていて 狂おしい程にこの身が果てるまで
許されない愛と分かってる せめて今だけは...
Anata daiteite Kuruoshii hodo ni kono mi ga hateru made
Yurusarenai ai to wakatteru Semete ima dake ha... yume no naka de
I'll embrace you so tightly I go mad until this body is no more.
I know it's an unforgivable love, but at least now... it's in my dreams.

 

抱きあう程...何故? 今以上を求めてしまう
指輪の跡に触れる指先までつたうこの哀しみ消してせめて今だけは...
Dakiau hodo... naze? Ima ijou wo motomete shimau
Yubiwa no ato ni fureru yubisaki made tsutau kono kanashimi keshite semete
ima dake ha...
Why... are we holding each other? After this, we'll be searching.
I touch you, from the traces of your rings to your fingertips. At least now,
this grief is being erased...

 

赤く染まる事の出来ない白い糸で結ばれた小指だけでつなぐ愛
愛する程深く落ちて行く涙が
静かに沈んで行く愛だけど...
Akaku somaru koto no dekinai shiroi ito de musubareta koyubi dake de tsunagu ai
Ai suru hodo fukaku ochiteyuku namida ga
Shizuka ni shizundeyuku ai dake do...
With this white thread that cannot be dyed to red, I bind your single pinky
finger with love.
I love you so much that my tears are falling deeply, but
It's a love that is sinking into silence.

秋風に誘われて 辿り着く午後のカフェ
読みかけの恋愛小説に 目を閉じてため息
Akikaze ni sasowarete Tadoritsuku gogo no cafe
Yomikake no renai romance¹ ni Me wo tojite tameiki
Tempted by the autumn wind, I arrive at an afternoon cafe.
Reading the romance novel, I close my eyes and sigh.

 

枯れ葉のカーペット 一人で歩くよ
ポプラの並木道 あの日の面影
Kareha no carpet Hitori de aruku yo
Poplar no namikimichi Ano hi no omokage
I walk alone on the carpet of dried leaves
In the vestige of that day on the poplar-lined street.

 

"Adieu" 舞い散る落ち葉の音は 今年もまた愛を唄う
"alors" 風と奏てる調べ 君には聞こえないよ
Adieu Maichiru ochiba no oto ha Kotoshi mo mata ai wo utau
alors Kaze to kanadeteru shirabe Kimi ni ha kikoenai yo
Adieu The sound of the leaves that fall, dancing and scattering sing again
of love this year.
alors the tune played by the wind won't be heard by you.

 

秋風に誘われて 迷い込むパリのカフェ
鳴り響の音 僕の元届けて
Akikaze ni sasowarete Mayoikomu Paris no cafe
Narihibiku no oto Boku no moto todokete
Tempted by the wind, I wander along the Paris cafes,
The echoing reaching deep into me.

 

もうきっと冬だよね 君の住む街は
一人で旅立った 君だけシャンゼリゼ
Mou kitto fuyu da yo ne Kimi no sumu Paris² ha
Hitori de tabidatta Kimi dake Champs Elysees
Surely it's already winter there. In Paris where you live,
You travelled alone, the only one on the Champs Elysees.

 

"Adieu" 舞い散る落ち葉の色は 今年もまた愛に染まる
"alors" それぞれ歩く街の  季節はすれ違うよ
Adieu Maichiru ochiba no iro ha Kotoshi mo mata ai ni somaru
alors Sorezore aruku machi no kisetsu ha surechigau yo
Adieu The colour of the leaves that fall, dancing and scattering, are again
dyed in love this year.
alors every season in the cities I walk passes me by.

 

君から届くエアメール サヨナラの言葉
三年半の愛 落ち葉に変わった
Kimi kara todoku air mail Sayonara no kotoba
Sannenhan no ai Ochiba ni kawatta
The air mail I received from you tells me goodbye.
Our three and a half year love has changed to a fallen leaf.

Adieu

 

"PARIS" 二人で夢見た街で 一人生きる愛した人
今 二人で暮らした街で 幸せ願ってるよ
"PARIS" Futari de yumemita machi de Hitori ikiru aishita hito
Ima Futari de kurashita machi de Shiawase negatteru yo
"PARIS" The person I love is living alone in that city where we dreamed together.
Now, I pray for happiness in the city where we lived.

全ての生命が枯れ果てた大地
赤く染まる空
乾いた空気は蜃気楼となり
僕を誘う
Subete no inochi¹ ga karehateta daichi
Akaku somaru sora
Kawaita kuuki ha shinkirou to nari
Boku wo sasou
This earth, where all life has withered to death...
The sky dyed red...
The dry air turns to a mirage
And tempts me.

 

自分の居場所が分からなくなって
記憶を辿った
振り返ればまた砂の傷跡が
泣いているよ
Jibun no ibasho ga wakaranaku natte
Kioku wo tadotta
Furikaereba mata suna no kizuato ga
Naiteiru yo
I don't know where I belong.
I follow my memories,
But when I look back, the scars in the sand
Are crying again.

 

砂の城で永遠に目覚めぬ愛しい人
どんなキスで目覚めるの?
僕には届かない幻
砂の城で眠る恋人
Suna no shiro de eien ni mezamenu itoshii hito
Donna kiss de mezameru no?
Boku ni ha todokanai maboroshi
Suna no shiro de nemuru koibito
O, my beloved sleeping eternally in the sand castle,
What kiss will waken you?
The illusion that won't reach me
Is that of my lover sleeping in the sand castle.

 

現実と思えればどんなに楽だろう
あなたが遠のく予感が消えずにいるけど
強く握りしめてあげたい
ずっとその手を...
Genjitsu to omoereba donna ni raku darou
Anata ga toonoku yokan ga kiezu ni iru kedo
Tsuyoku nigirishimete agetai
Zutto sono te wo...
I wonder if it would be easier if it seemed like this was the reality?
You become distant, a premonition that won't disappear, but
I want to hold your hand tightly,
Forever...

 

崩れ行く砂の城 幼い頃の想い
どうすれば届くだろう
終わりが描き出す答えは
あの少女が生きる...現実
Kuzureyuku suna no shiro Osanai koro  no omoi
Dou sureba todoku no darou
Owari ga egakidasu kotae ha
Ano shoujo ga ikiru... genjitsu
My childish feelings in the crumbling sand castle...
How will they reach you?
The answer painted out at the end
Is the reality... that that girl is alive.

 

砂の城で永遠に目覚めぬ愛しい人
どんなキスで目覚めるの?
僕には届かない幻
砂の城で眠る恋人
Suna no shiro de eien ni mezamenu itoshii hito
Donna kiss de mezameru no?
Boku ni ha todokanai maboroshi
Suna no shiro de nemuru koibito
O, my beloved sleeping eternally in the sand castle,
What kiss will waken you?
The illusion that won't reach me
Is that of my lover sleeping in the sand castle.
