~.oOOo.~

 

 

 

近づく白い足音
濡れた想いは今も
レンガに貼り付いたまま
静かに秋の幕は下りた
Chikazuku shiroi ashioto
Nureta omoi ha ima mo
Renga ni haritsuita mama
Shizuka ni aki no maku ha orita
The sound of white footsteps draws closer.
Even now, my wet feelings
Are clinging to the bricks.
Quietly, the curtain of autumn falls.

 

賑わう笑顔に溢れ街は冬を迎えた
一人が寂しい夜に灯りが僕を誘い
Nigiwau egao ni afure machi ha fuyu wo mukaeta
Hitori ga samishii yoru ni akari ga boku wo sasoi
A city overflowing with flourishing smiles welcomes the winter.
The lights in this lonely night where I'm alone tempt me.

 

知らず知らずに登ってきてた時計台から
夜空を見上げれば
君がいた
Shirazu shirazu ni nobottekiteta tokeidai kara
Yozora wo miagereba
Kimi ga ita
From the clock-tower I unconsciously climbed,
When I look up to the night sky,
You're there.

 

鳴り響く鐘の上で星座となって
いつでも僕を見つめてくれていた
だけどもう抱きしめる事も出来ないよね?
だって届かないよ
滲んで消えてく。。。
Narihibiku kane no ue de seiza to natte
Itsudemo boku wo mitsumete kureteita
Dakedo mou dakishimeru koto mo dekinai yo ne?
Datte todokanai yo
Nijindekieteku
You became a constellation above the bells that are ringing,
Always watching me.
But, I can't hold you anymore, can I?
So, I can't reach you.
It just blurs over and disappears...

 

季節はコートを羽織り
凍る命を溶かし
夜空に散りばめながら
微かな星を描く
Kisetsu ha coat wo haori
Kooru inochi wo tokashi
Yozora ni chiribamenagara
Kasuka na hoshi wo egaku
The season puts on a coat,
And the frozen lives melt away,
Scattered to pieces in the night sky
And painted by faint stars.

 

幻想の街
青く光った時計台から
見上げた空にまた
君が咲く
Gensou no machi
Aoku hikatta tokeidai kara
Miageta sora ni mata
Kimi ga saku
A city of illusions.
Looking up to the sky from
The faintly-shining clock tower,
You're blooming again.

 

鳴り響く鐘の上で星座となって
いつでも僕を見つめてくれている
もう二度と抱きしめる事も出来ないけど
もう届かないけど
また冬が来れば
Narihibiku kane no ue de seiza to natte
Itsudemo boku wo mitsumete kureteiru
Mou nido to dakishimeru koto mo dekinai kedo
Mou todokanai kedo
Mata fuyu ga kureba
You've become a constellation above the bells that are ringing,
Always watching me.
I can't hold you again...
I can't reach you anymore...
When the winter comes again,

 

逢えるよね?
真っ白な君を引き立てる
僕が今 漆黒の背景になるよ
輝く星達の中にいるのなら
雪になってこの手のひらの中へ
Aeru yo ne?
Masshiro na kimi wo hikitateru
Boku ga ima Shikkoku no haikei ni naru yo
Kagayaku hoshitachi no naka ni iru no nara
Yuki ni natte kono te no hira no naka he
We can meet, right?
I favour that pure-white you.
Now, I will become a jet-black backdrop.
If you are among the shining stars,
Turn to snow, and fall into the palm of my hand.

月夜の歌劇の中で僕はいつ君に会えるの?
月夜の歌劇の中で赤い二人が交わる
Tsukiyo no kageki no naka de boku ha itsu kimi ni aeru no?
Tsukiyo no kageki no naka de akai futari ga majiwaru
When will I be able to meet you in this opera of moonlit night?
In this opera of moonlit night, a red couple joins.

 

目が冷めてすぐ君を探す なのになぜどこにもいないの?
過去の痛すぎる恋に君が重なる
Me ga samete sugu kimi wo sagasu Na no ni naze doko ni mo inai no?
Kako no itasugiru koi ni kimi ga kasanaru
I search for you with coldening eyes, but why aren't you anywhere?
You join the past loves that hurt too much.

 

退屈な時君に触れて指を絡ませて踊る
ただのため息さえ愛しく想えて
Taikutsu na toki kimi ni furete yubi wo karamasete odoru
Tada no tameiki sae itoshiku omoete
I touch you in the tedious times, and we entwine our fingers and dance.
I can think that even your sighs were adorable.

 

君はいつも好きなだけ泣ける僕だけの場所
でも今、いたずらなその目に僕は狂わされて
Kimi ha itsumo suki na dake nakeru boku dake no basho
Demo ima, itazura na sono me ni boku ha kuruwasarete
You can always cry as much as you like in this place for me alone.
But now, those mischievous eyes drive me crazy.

 

今君はどこで名前も知らぬ人と
まだ僕を覚えてる? Ah...崩れてゆく
Ima kimi ha doko de namae mo shiranu hito to
Mada boku wo oboeteru? Ah... kuzureteyuku
Now, you're somewhere with a person whose name I don't know.
Do you still remember me? Ah... I'll crumble.

Demo ima, itazura na sono me ni boku ha kuruwasarete
You can always cry as much as you like in this place for me alone.
But now, those mischievous eyes drive me crazy.

 

更に君は遠く離れてゆく
Sara ni kimi ha tooku hanareteyuku
And now, you part from me and go far away.

 

今君はどこで名前も知らぬ人と
まだ僕を覚えてる? Ah...崩れてゆく
Ah...鳥のような君に何も出来ず僕は一人迷い雲になる
今は募る思いだけを君の為の声に響かせる事も出来ない
Ima kimi ha doko de namae mo shiranu hito to
Mada boku wo oboeteru? Ah... kuzureteyuku
Ah... tori no you na kimi ni nani mo dekizu boku ha hitori mayoi kumo ni naru
Ima ha tsunoru omoi dake wo kimi no tame no koe ni hibikaseru koto mo dekinai
Now, you're somewhere with a person whose name I don't know.
Do you still remember me? Ah... I'll crumble.
Ah... Unable to do anything for the birdlike you, I just become a solitary wandering cloud.
Now, this voice that was for you can't even be heard. Only my feelings grow stronger.

 

遠く光の中僕は君を探す 近づく影を僕は見つけた
遠く光の中僕は君を探してる 近ずく影を僕は
Tooku hikari no naka boku ha kimi wo sagasu Chikazuku kage wo boku ha mitsuketa
Tooku hikari no naka boku ha kimi wo sagashiteru Chikazuku kage wo boku ha
I search for you in the faraway light, and I find a shadow growing closer.
I'm searching for you in the faraway light, and a shadow comes closer to me.

 

震える"あなた"を包む両手は不安に怯えて
なにも言わずにいれたらどんなにどんなに
揺れてるような"あなた"の言葉に僕はまた
もうどこにも行かないで僕は君だけを
Furueru "anata" wo tsutsumu ryoute ha fuan ni obiete
Nani mo iwazu ni iretara donna ni donna ni
Fureteru you na "anata" no kotoba ni boku ha mata
Mou doko ni mo ikanai de Boku ha kimi dake wo
I wrap you, who trembles so much in fear of insecurity, In both my hands.
At your word, I'll again take you, who seems to tremble,
Without saying anything.
Please don't go anywhere anymore. I'll just be with you.

 

二人同じ夢を見らばいつも側にいる
Futari onaji yume wo miraba itsumo soba ni iru
If we dream the same dream, I'll always be at your side.

Lovers look up at me, who is decorated in endless wishes.
Yes, my name is "Christmas Tree".
I'm unable to turn around,
So they say, "Merry Christmas", without showing me their smiles.

 

Ah...白い天使達が歌を

歌いながら集まって
今夜はどんな素敵な二人を
ここへ連れて来るの?
Ah... Shiroi tenshitachi ga uta wo

And while they sing, they gather together.
What sort of wonderful couple
Will be brought here tonight?

 

12月の木漏れ日
街灯の下...幸せそうな君がいた
道を変えて二人に逢わずに去った
他人の名前を呼ばないで
12getsu no komorebi
Gaitou no shita... shiawase sou na kimi ga ita
Michi wo kaete futari ni awazu ni satta
Hokuto no namae wo yobanai de
The December sunlight streams through the trees,
And under the city lights... you, looking so happy, are there.
The couple pass each other by, not meeting, not calling each others' names,
On the changing streets.

Yes, my name is "Christmas Tree".

"涙拭いて...ずっと, 僕はここにいるから..."
"ねえ, 笑って見せて"
Kitto mou wasureteru yo ne?
Koko de ano hi ni...

"Namida fuite... zutto, boku ha koko ni iru kara..."
"Nee, waratte misete"
You've forgotten already haven't you?
That day here...
When I said...
"Dry your tears, because... I'll be here, forever..."
"Hey, show me your smile."

 

12月のキラメキ
ライトの蔦が絡んだ街は輝いて
白い吐息... "切なさ隠す霧" にはなれずに消えた
忘れよう
12getsu no kirameki
Light no tsuta ga karanda machi ha kagayaite
Shiroi toiki... "Setsunasa kakusu kiri" ni ha narezu ni kiete
Wasureyou
The glittering of December...
The ivy of lights illuminates the city it entwines.
White breath... without becoming "mist that hides loneliness", it disappears,
And I forget it.

from Christmas Tree which can't shine.
Setsunasa dake ha nokoru kedo
Boku de ha mirenakatta egao ni "Merry Christmas"
I'll give to every lover a necklace of snow
from Christmas Tree which can't shine.
Even though nothing but loneliness is left,
They say "Merry Christmas", though I can't see their smile.

天使には逢えないと
分かっていたけど
Tenshi ni ha aenai to
Wakatteita kedo
I knew that I couldn't
Meet an angel, but...

 

冬の街に迷い込んだ
雪の天使達...
あなたもまたそんな
一人だったの?
輝いてた
Fuyu no machi ni mayoikonda
Yuki no tenshitachi...
Anata mo mata sonna
Hitori datta no?
Kagayaiteta
Snow angels are
Astray in the winter city...
Are you still
Alone?
You were shining...

 

繋いでいたはずの手の中わずかな光を残して
Tsunaideita hazu no te no naka wazuka na hikari wo nokoshite
In the hands that should have been entwined, a faint light is left.

 

「逢えない」と聞けたなら期待もしなかった
このままではあなたを
責めてしまうよ
天使には逢えないと
分かっていたけど
Ah...あなたがいた
この街も夢?
切なさだけ降り積もる
"Aenai" to kiketa nara kitai mo shinakatta
Kono mama de ha anata wo
Semete shimau yo
Tenshi ni ha aenai to
Wakatteita kedo
Ah... anata ga ita
Kono machi mo yume?
Taisetsunasa dake furitsumoru
I was told "I can't see you", so I didn't even hope for it.
Like this, I'll
Blame you.
I knew that I couldn't
Meet an angel, but
Ah... you were there.
Is this city also a dream?
Only loneliness falls and piles up like the snow.

 

冬の空が輝く瞬間
人は星になる
心繋ぐ運命の糸が描く
星座達
Fuyu no sora ga kagayaku shunkan
Hito ha hoshi ni naru
Kokoro tsunagu unmei no ito ga egaku
Seizatachi
In the moments that the winter sky shines,
People become stars.
The threads of fate that bound our hearts together drew out
The constellations.

 

解けてしまってもいいよ雪のように飛べるなら
Hodokete shimatte mo ii yo yuki no you ni toberu nara
It's fine even if they come untied, because they'll fly like snow.

 

「逢えない」と聞けたなら期待もしなかった
このままではあなたを
責めてしまうよ
愛された冷もりが解けて消えてく
Ah...あなたのように
夜空を舞って
同じ星に還りたい
"Aenai" to kiketa nara kitai mo shinakatta
Kono mama de ha anata wo
Semete shimau yo
Aisareta nukumori¹ ga toketekieteku
Ah... anata no you ni
Yozora wo matte
Onaji hoshi ni kaeritai
I was told "I can't see you", so I didn't even hope for it.
Like this, I'll
Blame you.
The coldness I loved melts and disappears
Ah... just like you.
I want to flutter through the night sky
And return to the same stars.

 

人々が眠る時 天使は生まれて
街を白い羽根で包んでくれる
天使にはなれないと
分かっているけど
Ah...あなたのように
夜空を舞って
同じ星になり
Hitobito ga nemuru toki Tenshi ha umarete
Machi wo shiroi hane de tsutsundekureru
Tenshi ni ha narenai to
Wakatteiru kedo
Ah... anata no you ni
Yozora wo matte
Onaji hoshi ni nari
Angels are born while people sleep
And they wrap the city in their white wings.
I understand that I
Cannot become an angel, but
Ah... just like you,
I want to flutter through the night sky
And become the same star.

 

逢えないなら声に出さなくてもいいから
そっと教えてほしかった
Aenai nara koe ni dasanakute mo ii kara
Sotto oshiete hoshikatta
If we can't meet and my voice disappears, it's okay.
I just wanted to tell you quietly.

Notes
1. The kanji for “cold/cool” is used while Kamijo sings “nukumori”, which means warmth. I decided to keep the meaning of the kanji, since it fit the lyrics better.

今年もまた同じ街の中で君は
恋人達の群れに憧れと孤独を
Kotoshi mo mata onaji machi no naka de kimi ha
Koibitotachi no mure ni akogare to kodoku wo
This year too, in the same city, you'll
Be alone again, yearning in the crowd of lovers.

 

切ない夜にはキャンドルを見つめながら
好きなだけ涙流せばいい
何が自分らしくて 何が捨てられなくて
素直になればきっと見つかる
Setsunai yoru ni ha candle wo mitsumenagara
Suki na dake namida nagaseba ii
Nani ga jibun rashikute Nani ga suterarenakute
Sunao ni nareba kitto mitsukaru
It's okay to cry as much as you want
As you gaze at the candle in this lonely night.
What's normal for you? What can you not throw away?
If you'll just be honest, surely you'll find it.

 

こんなに誰かの事を好きだった事初めてだから
こんなに何かの事に賭けてきた事
諦めたくない
何が彼女のためで 何が自分らしくて
今も季節は問い掛けるよ
Konna ni dareka no koto wo suki datta koto hajimete dakara
Konna ni nanika no koto ni kaketekita koto
Yametakunai
Nani ga kanojo no tame de Nani ga jibun rashikute
Ima mo kisetsu ha toikakeru yo
Because like this, it's the first time I liked someone,
Like this, I took a risk.
I don't want to give up.
What is for her sake, and what something I would do myself?
Even now, the seasons continue to ask it.

 

誰かが言った事を素直に信じ込んで
忘れる事なんて出来るほど軽くない
Dareka ga itta koto wo sunao ni shinjikonde
Wasureru koto nante dekiru hodo karuku nai
Obediently believing in what someone else says...
It isn't something so easy that you can forget to do it.

 

切ない夜にはキャンドルを見つめながら
好きなだけ涙流せばいい

Because like this, it's the first time I liked someone,
Like this, I took a risk.
I don't want to give up.
What is for her sake, and what something I would do myself?
Just how should I live my life...?

Dir en grey Translation

A translation of Lareine’s “Dir en grey” from their album “Reine de fleur II”. I haven’t been able to find an explanation for the title of this song (or for the band who is said to have taken their name from this song (don’t quote me on that no one knows for sure)), though the “grey” part is evident in the lyrics.

 

 

 

~.oOOo.~

 

 

 

 

花を千切る僕を見た君は怯える
Hana wo chigiru boku wo mita kimi ha obieru
Looking at me who tore the flowers into pieces, you are afraid.

思い出の中で自然に絡まる恐怖
詰め込んで蓋を閉じて二人で踊るのずっと。。。
Omoide no naka de shizen ni karamaru kyoufu
Tsumekonda futa wo tojite futari de odoru no zutto...
The fear naturally twined into the memories,
And jamming the lid shut, we'll dance forever.

想いはいつも儚くて虹と重なる
Omoi ha itsumo hakanakute niji to kasanaru
Memories always overlap with the transient rainbows.
思い出の中で自然に絡まる恐怖
甘えた声で誘う。。。悪戯な
Omoide no naka de shizen ni karamaru kyoufu
Amaeta koe de sasou... itazura na
The fear naturally twined into the memories
Invites me with a sweet voice... how mischievous.

泣いてた悲劇を"あなた"を確かめた僕は
いつかの言葉は無にしよう
幼すぎた約束
Naiteta higeki wo "anata" wo tashikameta boku ha
Itsuka no kotoba ha mu ni shiyou
Osanasugita yakusoku
Surely the tragedy that was cried, and you will
Leave me with no words.
What a childish promise.

自然に絡まる恐怖
甘えた声で誘う。。。悪戯な"あなた"
Omoide no naka de jizen ni karamaru kyoufu
Amaeta koe de sasou... Itazura na "anata"
Naturally twined into the memories,
Invites me with a sweet voice... you’re so mischievous!

泣いてた悲劇を"あなた"を確かめた僕は
いつかの言葉は無にしよう
幼すぎた約束

Itsuka no kotoba ha mu ni shiyou
Osanasugita yakusoku
Surely the tragedy that was cried, and you will
Leave me with no words.
What a childish promise.

もう灰色の"わたし"には何も見えなくて
優しく包み込む
腕は僕じゃない
僕じゃない
Mou haiiro no "watashi" ni ha nani mo mienakute
Yasashiku tsutsumikomu
Ude ha boku ja nai
Boku ja nai
You can no longer see anything in the ashen-grey me.
Gently, you wrap me up.
I'm not the one in your arms.
It isn't me...

~.oOOo.~

 

 

 

 

 

曇った朝の静かな溜息...
無言の空に吹きかけ
Kumotta asa no shizuka na tameiki...
Mugon no sora ni fukikake
A sigh in the quiet, cloudy morning...
I let it out towards the silent sky.

 

人は寂しささえ押さえてただ言葉だけ
もう笑えないよこんなに苦しめたのに
Hito ha sabishisa sae osaete tada kotoba dake
Mou waraenai yo konna ni kurushimeta no ni
People hold back even their sadness with words alone.
I can't laugh anymore, because I'm suffering like this.

 

どしゃぶりの雨の中ずっと待ってる
ふと見上げて貴女が来たなら
Doshaburi no ame no naka zutto matteru
Fu to miagete anata ga kita nara
I'll always be waiting in the pouring rain
To suddenly look up and see you've come.

 

必ず来ると思った貴女が来ないなら
Kanarazu kuru to omotta anata ga konai nara
I thought that you'd definitely come, but you didn't.

 

もう分かったよこのまま来ないならば
今までの言葉を全て忘れてあげるよ
Mou wakatta yo kono mama konai naraba
Ima made no kotoba wo subete wasureteageru yo
I understand it now, that you won't come like this.
Forget everything I've said up until now.

 

"もう逢えない" だなんて... まさか本気だったの?
いつもの強がりじゃなくて確かに聞こえた
まだ降り続く雨はまるでヒロインのように描かれ
絵を溶かしていく無意味な感情
"Mou aenai" da nante... masaka honki datta no?
Itsumo no tsuyogari ja nakute tashika ni kikoeta
Mada furitsuzuku ame ha marude heroine no you ni egakare
E wo tokashiteiku muimi na kanjou
"I can't see you anymore"... is it possible that you were serious?
I definitely heard you weren't as strong as usual.
The rain that continues to fall seems to paint out a heroine.
That picture will melt away in meaningless emotion.

 

Ah... 運命なんて僕は信じたくない
Ah... unmei nante boku ha shinjitaku nai
Ah... I don't want to believe in anything like destiny.

 

どしゃぶりの雨の中ずっと待ってる
太陽を探して
Doshaburi no ame no naka zutto matteru
Taiyou wo sagashite
I'm always waiting in the pouring rain,
Searching for the sun.

 

貴女との思い出が今にもぼれて
下を見ても水溜りに記憶の波紋が
Anata to no omoide ga ima ni mo borete
Shita wo mite mo mizutamari ni kioku no hamon ga
My memories with you are even now too highly priced.
If I look down, ripples of memory cross the water's surface.

 

全てに縛られたままで貴女も夢もくずれてく
こんなに苦しいのはナゼ? 貴女に逢いたい
Subete ni shibarareta mama de anata mo yume mo kuzureteku
Konna ni kurushii no ha naze? Anata ni aitai
Tied by everything like this, even you and my dreams will crumble.
Why do I suffer like this? I want to see you.

 

貴女の声が聞きたくて
貴女の指に触れたくて
貴女の声が聞きたかった
貴女に逢いたい
Anata no koe ga kikitakute
Anata no yubi ni furetakute
Anata no koe ga kikitakatta
Anata ni aitai
I want to hear your voice
I want to touch your fingers.
I wanted to hear your voice.
I want to see you.

 

こんなに想いは募るのに
"もう逢えない" と... "もう逢えない"と...
Konna ni omoi ha tsunoru no ni
"Mou aenai" to... "Mou aenai" to...
Even though like this, my feelings are getting stronger,
You say "I can't see you anymore"... "I can't see you anymore"...

 

運命なんて...
Unmei nante...
Something like destiny is...

仲間達は遠くで花火をしてはしゃいで
なぜか群れの中には入りたくはなかったよ
Nakamatachi ha tooku de hanabi wo shite hashaide
Naze ka mure no naka ni ha hairitaku ha nakatta yo
Faraway, my friends are watching fireworks and having a merry time.
I wonder why I don't want to be part of their crowd.

 

誰かが君に語りかけて
誰かに君が微笑み返す
Dareka ga kimi ni katarikakete
Dareka ni kimi ga hohoemi kaesu
Someone speaks to you,
And you smile back at them.

 

深い森の中の湖の畔
白蝶が水面で羽根を休めてた
Fukai mori no naka no mizuumi no hotori
Hakuchou ga minamo de hane wo yasumeteta
On the banks of a lake deep within the forest,
A white butterfly rests its wings on the water's surface.

 

波打ち際で燃える炎を眺めていた
ぼやけた向こう側にまだ他人の君がいる
Namiuchigiwa de moeru honoo wo nagameteita
Boyaketa mukou soba ni mada tanin no kimi ga iru
I gazed at the flames burning on the beach,
And dimly, on the other side of it, you're still there, one of the others.

 

誰かが君に語りかけて
誰かに君が微笑み返す
Dareka ga kimi ni katarikakete
Dareka ni kimi ga hohoemi kaesu
Someone speaks to you,
And you smile back at them.

 

壊れてしまうから    言えるわけなくて
何も言わなければ    変わるわけないのに
Kowareteshimau kara Ieru wake nakute
Nani mo iwanakereba Kawaru wake nai no ni
Because I'm completely broken, it isn't easy for me to say.
Even if I don't say anything, there's no reason for it to change.

 

深い森の中の湖の畔
白蝶が水面で羽根を休めてた
Fukai mori no naka no mizuumi no hotori
Hakuchou ga minamo de hane wo yasumeteta
On the banks of a lake deep within the forest,
A white butterfly rests its wings on the water's surface.

それぞれが家路に向かう
何も無かったかのように笑みをこぼして
「これで良かったんだねきっと」
町に穏やかな風が吹く
Sorezore ga ieji ni mukau
Nani mo nakatta ka no you ni warami wo koboshite
"Kore de yokatta n da ne kitto"
Machi ni odayaka na kaze ga fuku
Everyone turns to the road home,
And as if there was nothing else, they show their smiles.
"This is definitely for the best."
A quiet breeze blows through the streets.

 

流れ星が今一つ北に向かって行ったよ
瞼を閉じてみて見せてあげる
何を願ったの？ 何を企んでいるの？
不意に僕の腕を掴み
「世界中に連れて行って」
両手を広げた君は果てしない空を鏡のように使い
まだ見ぬ世界を"もう一人の自分"を見てる
まるで未来を創っているかのように
Nagareboshi ga ima hitotsu hoku ni mukatteitta yo
Mabuta wo tojitemite miseteageru
Nani wo negatta no? Nani wo takurandeiru no?
Fui ni boku no ude wo tsukami
"Sekaijuu ni tsureteitte"
Ryoute wo hirogeta kimi ha hateshinai sora wo kagami no you ni tsukai
Mada minu sekai wo "mou hitori no jibun" wo miteru
Marude mirai wo tsukutteiru ka no you ni
Now, a shooting star turns to the north.
If you close your eyes, I'll show you.
What do you wish for? What are you planning?
Suddenly, you grab my arm.
"Take me with you around the world."
Stretching out your hands, you use the endless sky like a mirror,
And look at the world you've yet to see, and "another self",
Like you're making the future.

 

迷子になった小鳥は言った
「帰る場所があるから」と
強がってても疲れ果てて手のひらの上で眠る
守ってあげるよ
Maigo ni natta kotori ha itta
"Kaeru basho ga aru kara" to
Tsuyogattete mo tsukarehatete te no hiro no ue de n emuru
Mamotteageru yo
A lost baby bird said,
"I've a place to return to".
Even if you pretend to be strong, you get tired and fall asleep on your palms.
I'll protect you.

 

「もう君は飛べない」なんて事言えるわけもなくて
ただ静かに見守ってるつもりだった
何度も羽ばたこうと 何度も傷付いた後
君は僕を頼ってくれた
"Mou kimi ha tobenai" nante koto ieru wake mo nakute
Tada shizuka ni mimamotteru tsumori datta
Nando mo habatakou to Nando mo kizutsuita ato
Kimi ha boku wo tayottekureta
I can't say "you can no longer fly",
So I'll just quietly watch over you.
Over and over you flap your wings, and over and over after you're hurt,
You rely on me.

 

「世界中に連れて行って」
翼を広げた君は果てしない空を鏡のように使い
帰るべき場所を"もう一人の自分"を見てる
まるで未来を創っているかのように
"Sekaijuu ni tsureteitte"
Tsubasa wo hirogeta kimi ha hateshinai sora wo kagami no you ni tsukai
Kaerubeki basho wo "mou hitori no jibun" wo miteru
Marude mirai wo tsukutteiru ka no you ni
"Take me with you around the world."
Stretching your wings wide, you use the endless sky like a mirror,
Seeing the place you should return to, and "another self",
As if you're making the future.

 

広場に残る二人
どこか不自然な無言
眩しい朝日が二つの影絵を描く
初めて意識した守る事... 守られる事...
いつかあるのかな？
Hiroba ni nokoru futari
Doko ka fushizen na mugon
Mabushii asahi ga futatsu no kagee wo egaku
Hajimete ishiki shita mamoru koto... mamorareru koto...
Itsuka aru no ka na?
The two of us left in the town square
Are somehow unnaturally silent.
The dazzling morning sun paints two silhouettes,
And I first became aware of what I had to protect... and what I could protect...
Someday, there will be something, right?

 

「世界中に連れて行って」
両手を広げた君は果てしない空を鏡のように使い
まだ見ぬ世界を"もう一人の自分"を見てる
まるで未来を知るかのように
"Sekaijuu ni tsureteitte"
Ryoute wo hirogeta kimi ha hateshinai sora wo kagami no you ni tsukai
Mada minu sekai wo "mou hitori no jibun" wo miteru
Marude mirai wo tsukutteiru ka no you ni
"Take me with you around the world."
Stretching out your hands, you use the endless sky like a mirror,
And look at the world you've yet to see, and "another self",
Like you're making the future.

 

朝日が二人を照らし恋人のように映す
繋いだ腕は翼になって
「世界中に連れて行って」
ただ嬉しかった
君が誰かが僕を信じてくれている事が....
Asahi ga futari wo terashi koibito no you ni utsusu
Tsunaida ude ha tsubasa ni natte
"Sekaijuu ni tsureteitte"
Tada ureshikatta
Kimi ga dareka ga boku wo shinjitekureteiru koto ga...
The morning sun illuminates us, reflecting us like lovers.
Our entwined arms become wings.
"Take me with you around the world."
I was so happy,
Because you were someone who believes in me...

 

誰かが僕を信じてくれている事が....
誰かが僕を信じてくれている事が....
Dareka ga boku wo shinjitekureteiru koto ga...
Dareka ga boku wo shinjitekureteiru koto ga...
Because someone believes in me...
Because someone believes in me...

この花のキラメキ
色とりどりの気持ちに染めて君にただ届けたくて
そんなトキメキ
この季節にはいつも感じてた
Kono hana no kirameki
Irotoridori no kimochi ni somete kimi ni tada todoketakute
Sonna tokimeki
Kono kisetsu ni ha itsumo kanjiteta
I just want the twinkle of this flower
To reach you, dyed in multicoloured emotion.
In this season,
I could always feel your pulse.

~今, 始まる儚い恋の予感は穏やかな風が伝える
君を連れてきた小さな春もなぜか不安げに花にとまった~
~Ima, hajimaru hakanai koi no yokan ha odayaka na kaze ga tsutaeru
Kimi wo tsuretekita chiisana haru mo naze ka fuange ni hana ni tomatta~
~Now, the gentle breeze tells its premonition of the beginning of a fleeting love.
I wonder why even in this little spring I took you along to, you stopped anxiously
in the flowers~

もう忘れてはずのそんな季節がまた巡り僕に近づく
ほら, 君のはしゃいでた姿が今も僕の目に映し出される
Mou wasurete hazu no sonna kisetsu ga mata meguri boku ni chikazuku
Hora, kimi no hashaideta sugata ga ima mo boku no me ni utsushidasareru
I should have already forgotten how these seasons circle around close to me.
Look, your cheerful form is reflected in my eyes, even now.

この花のキラメキ
色とりどりの気持ちに染めて君にただ届けたくて
そんなトキメキ
この季節にはいつも感じてた
Kono hana no kirameki
Irotoridori no kimochi ni somete kimi ni tada todoketakute
Sonna tokimeki
Kono kisetsu ni ha itsumo kanjiteta
I just want the twinkle of this flower
To reach you, dyed in multicoloured emotion.
In this season,
I could always feel your pulse.

 

まだ冷たい白い雪が空から降り続いているのに
なぜか心だけ春に誘われ冬の森の中, 抜け道を探す
Mada tsumetai shiroi hana¹ ga sora kara furitsuzuiteiru no ni
Naze ka kokoro dake haru ni sasoware fuyu no mori no naka, nukemichi wo
sagasu
Even though the cold white flowers still continue to fall from the sky,
Somehow, in my heart alone, in the winter forest seduced by spring, I'm searching
for a way to escape.

この花のキラメキ
色とりどりの気持ちに染めて君にただ届けたくて
そんなトキメキ
この季節にはいつも感じてた
気持ちを涙に変えて
Kono hana no kirameki
Irotoridori no kimochi ni somete kimi ni tada todoketakute
Sonna tokimeki
Kono kisetsu ni ha itsumo kanjiteta
Kimochi wo namida ni kaete
I just want the twinkle of this flower
To reach you, dyed in multicoloured emotion.
In this season,
I could always feel your pulse.
My feelings turn to tears.

鮮やかすぎる記憶に散りばめた
夢見て幻想に溺れて一輪の花
溶け出す涙はすぐに凍り出してゆくよ
季節は問いかける
Azayaka sugiru kioku ni chiribameta
Yumemita gensou ni oborete ichirin no hana
Tokedasu namida ha sugu ni kooridashiteyuku yo
Kisetsu ha toikakeru
One flower drowns in the illusions I dream,
And scatters in the too-brilliant memories.
The melting tears will soon freeze.
The season begins to question.

「今, 僕が君の為に出来ることは
両手で抱え切れない花達を咲かせる事で
今すぐに君に逢うことが出来ても
きっと傷付けてしまうだけ」
"Ima, boku ga kimi no tame ni dekiru koto ha
Ryoute de daekirenai hanatachi wo sakaseru koto de
Ima sugu ni kimi ni au koto ga dekite mo
Kitto kizutsuketeshimau dake"
"Now, what I can do for you is
To let the flowers that will not be embraced bloom in my arms.
Even though I can meet you soon,
Surely, all we'll do is hurt."

鮮やかすぎる記憶に散りばめた
夢見て幻想に溺れて一輪の花

And scatters in the too-brilliant memories.
The melting tears will soon freeze.
The season begins to question.

 

君を思い出す度, 季節は問いかけるよ
Kimi wo omoidasu tabi, kisetsu ha toikakeru yo
Whenever I think of you, the season begins to question.

変わり果ててゆく姿から瞳を離せずに
光が差し込むはずのない部屋で
「せめて貴方の胸で眠りたい...」
触れ合う指先がはかなく霞んで見える
散り急ぐ貴女の結末がよぎるだけ（もう今は）
流れる涙も枯れ果てて何も言えない
抱きしめてあげるだけ
その涙がほほから落ちてゆくその前に
貴女を抱きしめて接吻を
今は想うことしか出来ない僕だけど
痛い位に抱きしめて接吻を
潤んだ瞳で見つめている微笑みながら
傷付く貴女を受け止めるだけ（この愛で）
色褪せてゆくありふれた静かな時を
貴女と二人で...
その涙がほほから落ちてゆくその前に
貴女を抱きしめて接吻を
今は想うことしか出来ない僕だけど
痛い位に抱きしめて接吻を
哀しみの果てにあふれる涙さえも
重ね合ったくちびるさえも（愛し過ぎて）
遠く微かに聞こえる声が痛い位にこだまする
やがて夜明けと共に全て消えて逝く
Kawarihatete yuku sugata kara hitomi wo hanasezu ni
Hikari ga sashikomu hazu no nai heya de
"Semete anata no mune de nemuritai..."
Furau yubisaki ga hakanaku kasunde mieru
Chiriisogu anata no ketsumatsu ga yogiru dake (Mou ima ha)
Nagareru namida mo karehatete nani mo ienai
Dakishimete ageru dake
Sono namida ga hoho kara ochiteyuku sono mae ni
Anata wo dakishimete kuchizuke¹ wo
Ima ha omou koto shika dekinai boku dake do
Itai kurai ni takishimete kuchizuke wo
Urunda hitomi de mitsumeteiru hohoemi nagara
Kizutsuku anata wo uketomeru dake (Kono ai de)
Iroasete yuku arifureta shizuka na toki wo
Anata to futari de...
Sono namida ga hoho kara ochiteyuku sono mae ni
Anata wo dakishimete kuchizuke wo
Ima ha omou koto shika dekinai boku dakedo
Itai kurai ni dakishimete kuchizuke wo
Kanashimi no hate ni afureru namida sae mo
Kasaneatta kuchibiru sae mo (Aishisugite)
Tooku kasuka ni kikoeru koe ga itai kurai ni kodama suru
Yagate yoake to tomo ni subete kieteyuku
Unable to take my eyes from your completely-changed form
In this room where no light reaches,
"I want to at least sleep on your chest..."
I can faintly see our touching fingertips.
At the end, you, who is quickly scattering, just pass me by. (Now, you're already...)
I can't say anything, even as the flowing tears dry,
So I just hold you close.
Before those tears fall from your cheeks,
I hold you and give you a kiss.
Now, I can't do anything but think about it,
I hold you until it hurts, and give you a kiss.
While gazing at your smile with blurring eyes,
I catch you who is injured. (With my love.)
This common, fading, quiet time  is
When I am like this with you...
Before those tears fall from your cheeks,
I hold you and give you a kiss.
Now, I can't do anything but think about it,
So I hold the pain close and give it a kiss.
Even the tears overflowing at the end of sadness
Overlap your lips. (I love you too much.)
The faraway, fading voice I can hear is echoing painfully.
Finally, together with the night, everything will fade away.

Notes
1. “Seppun” (“kiss”) is written but Kamijo sings “kuchizuke”, which means the same thing.

青い鳥の姿の君の命を追いかける
生まれ変わったとき, 再会出来ることを願って...
Aoi tori no sugata no inochi wo oikakeru
Umarekawatta toki, saiai dekiru koto wo negatte...
I chase after the life where you are a bluebird.
When you were reborn, I prayed that we would meet again...

 

去年の12月, 華やかな街角で, 君は突然 立ち止まって
不意に帽子を落としたふりして, 僕に "拾って" とせがんできた
Kyonen no juunigatsu, hanayaka na machikado de, kimi ha totsuzen tachidomatta
Fui ni boushi wo otoshita furishite, boku ni "hirotte" to segandekita
December last year, on a brilliant street corner, you suddenly stopped.
Your hat suddenly fell off, and you bossily said to me, "Pick it up."

 

ショーウインドウ越しに映る二人はまるで映画やドラマのようなシルエット
Show window goshi ni utsuru futari ha marude eiga ya dorama no you na silhouette
Reflected beyond the show window, the two of us were exactly like a drama
or a movie in silhouette.

コートの袖から吹き込む季節

の吐息に震える君を包む
Coat no sode kara fukikomu kisetsu to noiki ni furueru kimi wo tsutsumu
I wrap you, who trembles at the season blowing its breath at your coat sleeve, up.

ショーウインドウ越しに映る二人はまるで映画やドラマのようなシルエット

Show window goshi ni utsuru futari ha marude eiga ya dorama no you na silhouette
Reflected beyond the show window, the two of us were exactly like a drama
or a movie in silhouette.

 

素直にあの場所で "好き" と言えたらどんなに素敵だろう
運命の二人になれたかな?
冷たい季節の吐息が空へと君を連れ去って行くよ
このまま逢えないなんて.. LILLIE
Sunao ni ano basho de "suki" to ietara donna ni suteki darou
Unmei no futari ni nareta ka na?
Tsumetai kisetsu no toiki ga sora he to kimi wo tsuresatteiku yo
Kono mama aenai nante... LILLIE
Wouldn't it be great if in that place, I could say "I love you"?
Were we destined to be together?
The breath of this cold season takes you away up to the sky.
Like this, I can't meet you... LILLIE

愛した人だから生まれ変わる時代も必ず二人はめぐり逢える
Aishita hito da kara umarekawaru jidai mo kanarazu futari ha meguriaeru
Because you are the one I love, without a doubt, we will meet over and over
in the eras we are reborn.

 

素直にあの場所で "好き" と言えたらどんなに素敵だろう

Were we destined to be together?
The breath of this cold season takes you away up to the sky.
If like this, I can't meet you...

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

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

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

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?

生まれる前から愛してた まだ見ぬ運命の人よ
Umareru mae kara aishiteta Mada minu unmei no hito yo
My destined person I've yet to see, I've loved you since before you were born.

 

途方も無い歳月が二人を引き離してる
見渡すかぎりに広がる寂しさ
風に誘われるまま君を探し彷徨う
今何処で咲いてるの?
Tohou mo nai saitsuki ga futari wo hikihanashiteru
Miwatasu kagiri ni hirogaru samishisa
Kaze ni sasowareru mama kimi wo sagashisamayou
Ima doko de saiteru no?
The months and years without a path has pulled us apart.
Loneliness spreads out over all I can see.
Tempted by the wind, I wander about, searching for you.
Now, where are you blooming?

 

光の馬車に乗って誰より高く舞い上がれ
七色に架かる虹のように姿を見せて
そして僕の側で咲いていて
Hikari no basha ni notte dare yori takaku maiagare
Nanairo ni kakaru niji no you ni sugata wo misete
Soshite boku no soba de saiteite
Riding in the carriage of light, you soar higher than anyone else.
You show me your form that, like a rainbow, spans seven colours,
And you bloom at my side.

 

大地で騒めく花達よ 心に共鳴してるのか?
Daichi de zawameku hanatachi yo Kokoro ni kyoumei shiteiru no ka?
Clamouring flowers of the earth, will you sympathise with my heart?

 

突然泣き出した空 君が泣いてるようで
胸が苦しくなるよ
Totsuzen nakidashita sora Kimi ga naiteiru you de
Mune ga kurushiku naru yo
The sky suddenly began to cry, like your crying.
My heart hurts.

 

光の馬車に乗って誰より高く舞い上がれ
七色に架かる虹のように姿を見せて
そして僕の側で咲いていて
Hikari no basha ni notte dare yori takaku maiagare
Nanairo ni kakaru niji no you ni sugata wo misete
Soshite boku no soba de saiteite
Riding in the carriage of light, you soar higher than anyone else.
You show me your form that, like a rainbow, spans seven colours,
And you bloom at my side.

 

~人はそれぞれの心に運命の花を咲かせて生てゆく~
~Hito ha sorezore no kokori ni unmei no hana wo sakasete ikiteyuku~
~In every person's heart, the flowers of fate bloom and live~

 

大空にかかった虹 七色に輝いた花よ
必ず逢えると想うことで優しくなれる
君を見つけるまで咲いていて
Oozora ni kakatta niji Nanairo ni kagayaita hana yo
Kanarazu aeru to omou koto de yasashiku nareru
Kimi wo mitsukeru made saiteite
The rainbow arriving in the heavens is a flower shining with seven colours.
Thinking I'll surely meet you, I can become gentle.
Until I find you, I'll bloom.

~ Je t'aime ~
~ I love you ~

 

偽りのJe t'aime
Itsuwari no Je t'aime
A false "I love you".

 

都会の騒めきさえ聞こえない激しい雨は
人の波に溺れた優しさを濡らし降り続ける
Tokai no zawameki sae kikoenai hageshii ame ha
Hito no nami ni oboreta yasashisa wo nurashi furitsuzukeru
In the violent rain, I can't even hear the noise of the city.
Drowning in the waves of people, the gentleness that drenches me continues to fall.

 

Je t'aime
I love you.

 

互いの苦しみさえ知らないまま求め合った
溢れ出す寂しさも空しさも愛しさに例え
Tagai no kanashimi sae shiranai mama motometeatta
Afuredasu samishisa mo munashisa mo aishisa ni tatoe
Not knowing even our mutual sadness, we searched together.
Even the overflowing loneliness and emptiness are examples of things I hold dear.

 

ドレスに絡まるその薔薇の刺を例えれば Je t'embrasse
(Je t'embrasse)
時計仕掛けの愛を愛を求めて重なり合う
Dress ni karamaru sono bara no toge wo tatoereba Je t'embrasse
(Je t'embrasse)
Tokeijikake no ai wo ai wo motomete kasanariau
Like the rose thorns twined into your dress, I kiss you
(I kiss you)
Searching for the love, the clockwork love, we overlap.

 

Je t'embrasse 雨に打たれた Je t'embrasse 哀しい花よ
Je t'embrasse - 愛していると- 嘘をついても
Je t'embrasse Ame ni utareta Je t'embrasse Kanashii hana yo
Je t'embrasse -Aishiteiru to- uso wo tsuite mo
I kiss you, beat by the rain. I kiss you, grieving flowers.
I kiss you, and even lie, "I love you."

I kiss you. When you realise the love I kiss you engraved by clock hands,
I kiss you. You're alone I kiss you in the middle of this noisy city.

 

(他人の幸せ) すり抜けながら

I'm beat alone by the rain.

君が側にいた時でも
温もりも優しさも感じてない
あの時の君の気持ちにもっと素直になれたならば
Kimi ga soba ni ita de mo
Atsumori mo yasashisa mo kanjitenai
Ano toki no kimi no kimochi ni motto sunao ni nareta nareba
Even the times you were with me,
I couldn't feel warmth, or gentleness.
I wish that the you of that time had been honest with me, even about your feelings.

 

どこから二人の物語は
それぞれ別のしおりを挟み
いつ開いても同じページで
癖の付いた最後の場面
Doko kara futari no monogatari ha
Sorezore betsu no shiori wo hasami
Itsu hiraite mo onaji page de
Kuse no tsuita saigo no bamen
Where is our story pinched
With the bookmark of each parting?
No matter when you hear it... the last scene of our habits
Is still attached to the very same page.

 

君の投げた白い花束を, 幼い少女が拾った
その少女に優しく 「良かったね」なんて言えない
Kimi no nageta shiroi hanataba wo, osanai shoujo ga hirotta
Sono shoujo ni yasashiku "yokatta ne" nante ienai
A young girl picked up the white bouquet you tossed away.
I couldn't even say, "Isn't it nice?"

 

一番恐れてた場面を自分のペンで描いてた
君の事も素直になれなくて絵コンテのまま
Ichiban osoreteta bamen wo jibun no pen de egaiteta
Kimi no koto mo sunao ni narenakute ekonte no mama
With a pen, you drew out the scene you were most afraid of,
Though even in that storyboard, you weren't honest about yourself.

 

君が昔, 僕に言った言葉...
「ただ一緒にいられるだけでいいのよ」
「もう逢えない」
そんな変わってしまった気持ちを投げ捨てるように
君は白いブーケを...
Kimi ga mukashi, boku ni itta kotoba...
"Tada issho ni irareru dake de ii no yo"
"Mou aenai"
Sonna kawatteshimatta kimochi wo nagesuteru you ni
Kimi ha shiroi bouquet wo...
The words you said to me, long ago...:
"It's alright, as long as we're together."
"I can't see you anymore."
So that I could throw away those feelings that changed so drastically,
I gave you a white bouquet.

 

君の投げた白い花束を, 幼い少女が拾った
その少女に優しく 「良かったね」なんて言えない
Kimi no nageta shiroi hanataba wo, osanai shoujo ga hirotta
Sono shoujo ni yasashiku "yokatta ne" nante ienai
A young girl picked up the white bouquet you tossed away.
I couldn't even say, "Isn't it nice?"

初雪が舞い散る頃
Ah...懐かしい情景に
一人ここに来た理由は
もう忘れたはずの人...
あの人に会いたいだけ
Hatsuyuki ga maichiru koro
Ah... natsukashii joukei ni
Hitori koko ni kita wake ha
Mou wasureta hazu no hito...
Ano hito ni aitai dake
When the first snow came drifting down,
Ah... the reason I came here alone
In that nostalgic scenery
Was for someone that I should have forgotten...
For that person that I wanted to see.

 

哀しいほど鮮明な二人の日々
いつも同じあの場面で崩れてく
Kanashii hodo senmai na futari no hibi
Itsumo onaji ano bamen de kuzureteku
The days we spent together were so vivid it was sorrowful.
We always crumbled in the same scene.

 

枯れ木と冷たい風
Ah... 懐かしい情景に
あの人を重ねても
儚く滲んで消えた
幻も見てただけ
Karegi to tsumetai kaze
Ah... natsukashii joukei ni
Ano hito wo kasanete mo
Hakanaku nijindekieta
Maboroshi mo miteta dake
The withered trees, and the cold wind...
Ah... in that nostalgic scenery,
Even as it overlaps that person,
It all blurred over and disappeared so quickly.
It seemed like nothing more than an illusion.

 

哀しいほど切なくて苦しくなる
想うほどに焼き付いて離れなくて
哀しいほど鮮明な二人の日々
いつも同じあの場面で崩れてく
Kanashii hodo setsunaku kurushikunaru
Omou hodo ni takitsuite hanarenakute
Kanashii hodo senmei na futari no hibi
Itsumo onaji ano bamen de kuzureteku
I was so lonely and hurt that it was pitiful.
I wouldn't let go until it burned all the way into my memories.
The days we spent together were so vivid it was sorrowful.
We always crumbled in the same scene.

 

Ah... もう一度会えるのならば
もうその腕を放さない
Ah... mou ichido aeru no naraba
Mou sono ude wo hanasanai
Ah... if I can meet that person just once more,
I would never let them leave my arms again.

 

哀しいほど切なくて苦しくなる
想うほどに焼き付いて離れなくて
哀しいほど鮮明な二人の日々
いつも同じあの場面で崩れてく
Kanashii hodo setsunaku kurushikunaru
Omou hodo ni takitsuite hanarenakute
Kanashii hodo senmei na futari no hibi
Itsumo onaji ano bamen de kuzureteku
I was so lonely and hurt that it was pitiful.
I wouldn't let go until it burned all the way into my memories.
The days we spent together were so vivid it was sorrowful.
We always crumbled in the same scene.
