星降る夜 聖夜の調べが
風に運ばれ聴こえてくる
隣りで眠る貴女の横顔見つめ
頬に手をあて小さく囁く
Hoshi furu yoru Seiya no shirabe ga
Kaze ni hakobare kikoetekuru
Tonari de nemuru anata no yokogao mitsume
Hoho ni te wo ate chiisaku sasayaku
I can hear the melody of the holy night, the night where stars rain down,
Carried on the wind.
Gazing at your profile as you sleep beside me,
I brush your cheek with my hand and whisper softly to you.

消えてゆく貴女の温もり追いかけて
あと少しこのままでいてもいいよね
流れてく時の狭間に迷う堕天使のように
瞳を閉じてるだけで
Kieteyuku anata no nukumori oikakete
Ato sukoshi kono mama de ite mo ii yo ne
Nagareteku toki no hazama ni mayou datenshi no you ni
Me¹ wo tojiteru dake de
Chasing after your disappearing warmth,
Let me be like this for just a little bit longer.
Wandering in the valleys of the flowing time, like a fallen angel,
I just close my eyes.

静かな時 きらめく星空
手を伸ばす 届きそうに思えた
遠すぎるよ 淡い月の光だけ
冷たい夜をいくつも越えてく
Shizuka na toki Kirameku hoshizora
Te wo nobasu Todokisou ni omoeta
Toosugiru yo Awai tsuki no hikari dake
Tsumetai yoru to ikutsumo koeteku
I reach my hand out to the quiet time, and the glittering starry sky,
Thinking that I can maybe reach it.
It's too far away. Just the pale light of the moon
Crosses the cold night many times.

消えてゆく貴女の温もり追いかけて
あと少しこのままでいてもいいよね
流れてく時の狭間に迷う堕天使のように
瞳を閉じてるの
nothing but this white rose
Kieteyuku anata no nukumori oikakete
Ato sukoshi kono mama de ite mo ii yo ne
Nagareteku toki no hazama ni mayou datenshi no you ni
Me wo tojiteru no
nothing but this white rose
Chasing after your disappearing warmth,
Let me be like this for just a little bit longer.
Wandering in the valleys of the flowing time, like a fallen angel,
I close my eyes.
nothing but this white rose

last song for you
過ぎた日々 時の中を駆ける
silent night whispers about loneliness
last song for you
祈る この世界に咲く 溢れる 「涙…」 「思いを…」

Sugita hibi Toki no naka wo kakeru
silent night whispers about loneliness
last song for you
Inoru Kono sekai ni saku Afureru  "Namida..." "Omoi wo..."
last song for you
The bygone days soar through time.
silent night    whispers about loneliness
last song for you
I pray that you will bloom in this world. Overflowing "tears..." and "emotions..."

孤独とこの白い薔薇だけ
綺麗な夜に映す 貴女を抱く
殺那につつまれて 時が止まればいい
藍い光 零れた星屑
Kodoku to kono shiroi bara dake
Kirei na yoru ni utsusu Anata wo daku
Setsuna ni tsutsumarete Toki ga tomareba ii
Aoi² hikari  Koboreta hoshikuzu
Only the loneliness and this white rose
Reflect in this beautiful night. I hold you close.
Wrapped in this moment, I wish time would stop.
Blue light, and overflowing stardust...

nothing but this white rose

last song for you
過ぎた日々 時の中を駆ける
silent night whispers about loneliness
last song for you
祈る この世界に咲く 溢れる 「涙…」 「思いを…」
last song for you
Sugita hibi Toki no naka wo kakeru

last song for you
Inoru Kono sekai ni saku Afureru  "Namida..." "Omoi wo..."
last song for you
The bygone days soar through time.
silent night    whispers about loneliness
last song for you
I pray that you will bloom in this world. Overflowing "tears..." and "emotions..."

the days when do not show the future
藍い月に祈りをささぐ
たどる軌跡 貴女のいない時が過ぎてゆくだけ
without you
the day when do not show the future
Aoi tsuki ni inori wo sasagu
Tadoru kiseki Anata no inai toki ga sugiteyuku dake
without you
the days when do not show the future
I lift up my prayers to the blue moon.
I just follow the path of footprints and pass through the time you aren't here,
without you

歪んだ「貴女」 に蔓の刺が絡まる
Yuganda "anata" ni tsuru no toge ga karamaru
Thorned tendrils twine around the distorted you.

 

赤いドレス 綺麗な髪飾り
そんな君の姿に惑わされた僕は騙され
Akai dress Kirei na kamikazari
Sonna kimi no sugata ni madowasareta boku ha damasare
A red dress, and beautiful hair ornaments...
And perplexed at that appearance of yours, I am deceived.

 

「震えてるの?」 君の細い肩を抱き締めて慰めてあげる
でも その笑顔は何?
"Furueteru no?" Kimi no hosoi kata wo dakishimete nagusamete ageru
Demo Sono egao ha nani?
"Are you shivering?" I embrace your thin shoulders and consol you.
But, why are you smiling...?

 

優しすぎた君のその瞳にいつも僕はいなくて
偽りの涙だけが残る
Yasashisugita kimi no sono hitomi ni itsumo boku ha inakute
Itsuwari no namida dake ga nokoru
I am never in your too-gentle eyes.
There are only false tears.

 

「染まれ 赤く... 赤く... 赤く...」
"Somare Akaku... akaku... akaku..."
"Dye me red... red... red..."

 

甘い香り, 君に似たその花は
引き寄せた人を愛するフリして壊してゆく
Amai kaori, kimi ni nita sono hana ha
Hikiyoseta hito wo ai suru furi shite kowashiteyuku
That flower with its sweet scent is like you.
Pretending to love the people you draw in, you'll break.

 

真夜中にしか咲かない君の口は毒の花
慰めてあげる, あの時も... 今も...
Mayonaka ni shika sakanai kimi no kuchi ha doku no hana
Nagusamete ageru, ano toki mo... ima mo...
You, who only blooms at midnight, your mouth is a poisonous flower.
I'll comfort you, at that time... and even now...

 

君と出会った悲愁のこの花園で
毒でもいい, もう一度君の綺麗な姿...
Kimi to deatta hishuu no kono hanazono de
Doku de mo ii, mou ichido kimi no kirei na sugata...
In this garden of grief where I met you,
I don't care if it's poisonous, just your beautiful form, once more...

 

「あなた」 と過ごした季節を記憶から消せるならば
もう誰かを愛することなど出来ないなんて言わないのに
「あなた」 との思い出を忘れることができたなら
僕の胸の悔やしさもこの涙と流れるのに
"Anata" to sugoshita kisetsu wo kioku kara keseru naraba
Mou dareka wo ai suru koto nado dekinai nante iwanai no ni
"Anata" to omoide wo wasureru koto ga dekita nara
Boku no mune no kuyashisa mo kono namida to nagareru no ni
If the season that I spent with you disappears from my memory,
Though I won't say that I couldn't love anyone else again...
If I could forget my memories of you,
Even the frustrations in my heart would flow out in my tears.

雑な色彩を重ねた君の笑顔
赤も青も無く口に溶ける涙だけ
Zatsu na shikisai wo kasaneta kimi no egao
Aka mo ao mo naku kuchi ni tokeru namida dake
Crude colours overlap your smiling face.
Not red or blue, just the tears that melt into your mouth.

 

あれから毎日の僕への君の言葉
まるで嘘のように思えて夢に逃げた
Are kara mainichi no boku he no kimi no kotoba
Marude uso no you ni omoete yume ni nigeta
When I realised that from then, your words to the everyday me
Were like lies, I escaped into dreams.

 

交わしてた約束も無いならいっそこのままでもいいけど
君から受けた数々の優しさを形に
Kawashiteta yakusoku mo nai nara isso kono mama de mo ii kedo
Kimi kara uketa shibashiba no yasashisa wo katachi ni
If there are no promises to exchange, that's all the better.
I'll take all the many kindnesses you gave me into my form.

 

冷めた言葉を交わし, ただ横に居るのなら
何も言わないで思い出せばつのる
Tsumeta kotoba wo kawashi, tada yoko ni iru no nara
Nani mo iwanai de omoidaseba tsunoru
Exchanging cold words, we just stay across from each other.
Don't say anything. If I remember, it will become worse.

 

交わしてた約束も無いならいっそこのままでもいいけど
君から受けた数々の優しさを形に
Kawashiteta yakusoku mo nai nara isso kono mama de mo ii kedo
Kimi kara uketa shibashiba no yasashisa wo katachi ni
If there are no promises to exchange, that's all the better.
I'll take all the many kindnesses you gave me into my form.

 

悲しすぎるから全てが同じに見える
僕がいることも今は忘れて
Kanashisugiru kara subete ga onaji ni mieru
Boku ga iru koto mo ima ha wasurete
Because it's far too sad, everything seems the same.
You've even now forgotten that I'm here.

 

いつも笑えないほど君に想いをよせた
胸が壊れるくらい, 僕は見ていた
Itsumo waraenai hodo kimi ni omoi wo yoseta
Mune ga kowareru kurai, boku ha miteita
I am always thinking of you so much I can't smile.
I saw you, and my heart felt like it would break.

 

「逢いたい」 と思えるのなら距離を離しははしない
だけど溢れ出す思い出に溺れて
"Aitai" to omoeru no nara kyori wo hanashi ha hashinai
Dake do afuredasu omoide ni oborete
If I could feel like "I miss you", I wouldn't be running from the distance separating us.
But, I'm drowning in the overflowing memories.

 

それほどまで愛せないの?
Sore hodo made aisenai no?
Won't you love me that much?

月夜に照らされた 蒼い誘惑に見せられて
無数の色を集めた
仮面舞踏会 水辺揺れる光と影
グラスに注がれた気まぐれが今夜の色を無言で 示している
Tsukiyo ni terasareta Aoi yuuwaku ni miserarete
Musuu no iro wo atsumeta
Kamen butoukai Mizube yureru hikari to kage
Gurasu ni sosogareta kimagure ga konya no iro wo mugon de Shimeshiteiru
Illuminated in the moonlit night, the many different colours gather,
Watched by blue temptation.
At the masquerade ball, the light and shadow tremble on the waterside.
The caprice poured into a glass shows the silent colour of the night.

 

重なる白い肌に互いの細い指を絡ませ乍ら 踊る
見つめる蒼い瞳は赤いヴェールに閉ざされたまま
どうかした二人の体は淫らな燃そうと現実の悪意とお抱き乍ら彷徨い続ける
Kasanaru shiroi hada ni tagai no hosoi yubi wo karamasenagara Odoru
Mitsumeru aoi hitomi ha akai veil ni tozasareta mama
Doukashita futari no karada ha midara na mosou to genjitsu no akui to odakinagara
samayoi tsuzukeru
We dance, entwining our slender fingers, our pale skin overlapping.
The watching blue eyes are closed off with a red veil.
Somehow our bodies embrace the burning obscenity and the malice of reality,
and we continue to wander.

 

羽を舞い踊らせ乍ら 灯りを点し色を導いて逝く
Hane wo maiodorasenagara Akari wo tomoshi iro wo michibiiteyuku
While the wings dance, the lighted colours of the lantern lead me

 

誰も止める事は出来ない
私を戻る事も出来ない
Dare mo tomeru koto ha dekinai
Watashi wo modoru koto mo dekinai
Nobody can stop it.
I cannot return.

 

重なる白い肌に互いの細い指を絡ませ乍ら 踊る
見つめる蒼い瞳は赤いヴェールに閉ざされたまま
どうかした二人の体は淫らな燃そうと現実の悪意とお抱き乍ら彷徨い続ける
Kasanaru shiroi hada ni tagai no hosoi yubi wo karamasenagara Odoru
Mitsumeru aoi hitomi ha akai veil ni tozasareta mama
Doukashita futari no karada ha midara na mosou to genjitsu no akui to odakinagara
samayoi tsuzukeru
We dance, entwining our slender fingers, our pale skin overlapping.
The watching blue eyes are closed off with a red veil.
Somehow our bodies embrace the burning obscenity and the malice of reality,
and we continue to wander.

さあ目を空けて僕を見てよ
ほらまだ温もりさえ 僕の手のひらに抱かれている現実は
もう痛みも無い中で
貴方は何を現在も想っているの
Saa me wo akete boku wo mite yo
Hora mada nukumori sae Boku no te no hira ni dakareteiru ima¹ ha
Mou itami mo nai naka de
Anata ha nani wo ima² mo omotteiru no
Now, open your eyes and look at me!
See, even the warmth is still held in the palm of my hand now.
In this painlessness,
What are you thinking of now?

 

この背中を包む夜と闇に絵を描く僕は 時間という名の支配者に操られて
Kono senaka wo tsutsumu yoru to yami ni e wo egaku boku ha Toki³ to iu na no mono⁴ ni ayatsurarete
The night that wraps around my back, and I who painted a picture in darkness,
are manipulated by the thing called "time".

 

大空に浮かべた思い出の中で 踊る二人を見つめ泣いていた
最後までさよならさえ言えずこの場所で 眠りに落ちた貴女を抱いていたくて
Oozora ni ukabeta omoide no naka de Odoru futari wo mitsumenaiteita
Saigo made sayonara sae iezu kono basho de Nemuri ni ochita anata wo daiteitakute
Gazing at the two of us dancing in the memories floating in the wide sky, I cry.
In this place, where even at the very end we didn't say goodbye, I want to hold you
as you fall asleep.

 

揺れながら足を浮かせ・・・
Yurenagara ashi wo ukase...
Swaying, you swing your legs...

 

この痛みを増す夜に同じ言葉を繰り返し 揺れながら空に足を浮かせて
Kono itami wo masu yoru ni onaji kotoba wo kurikaeshi Yurenagara sora ni ashi wo ukasete
In this night where the pain increases, you repeat the same words over and over,
swinging your legs as you sway in the sky.

 

大空に浮かべた思い出の中で 僕を見つめた貴女は微笑んで
最後まで腕を伸ばし薄れていく声は 現実を見つめることを祈って
Oozora ni ukabeta omoide no naka de Boku mitsumeta anata ha hohoenda
Saigo made ude wo nobashi usureteiku koe ha Genjitsu mitsumeru koto wo inotte
In the memories that floated to the sky, the you I'm gazing at is smiling.
Until the very end, you  held out your arms to me, and your fading voice prayed for me
to watch reality.

 

そっと
Sotto
Softly...

 

大空に浮かべた思い出の中で 踊る二人は今も微笑んで
長い夜の終わりを告げるこの腕で 眠りに落ちた貴女を抱いていたくて
Oozora ni ukabeta omoide no naka de Odoru futari ha ima mo hohoende
Nagai yoru no owari wo tsugeru kono ude de Nemuri ni ochita anata wo daiteitakute
In the memories that floated to the sky, the two dancing are smiling, even now.
In these arms that mark the end of the long night, I want to hold you as you fall into sleep.

 

揺れながら足を浮かせ・・・
揺れながら空に身を寄せて・・・
Yurenagara ashi wo ukase...
Yurenagara sora ni mi wo yosete...
Swaying, you swing your legs...
Swaying, your body rises to the sky...
