あなた

• By: 宇多田ヒカル

Lyrics:

[日本語]

[English]

あなたのいない世界じゃ

In a world without you

どんな願いも叶わないから

No matter how much I wish, it won't come true

燃え盛る業火の谷間が待ってようと

Waiting in a valley of blazing flames, whether or not

守りたいのはあなた

What I want to protect is you

あなた以外なんにもいらない

I don't need anything but you

大概の問題は取るに足らない

Most problems are insignificant

多くは望まない 神様お願い

I don't ask for much, God, please

代り映えしない明日をください

Give me a tomorrow that’s unchanged

一日の終わりに撫で下ろす

At the end of the day, I relax and breathe out

この胸を頼りにしてる人がいる

There’s someone relying on this heart

くよくよなんてしてる場合じゃない

There's no time to worry now

Oh ただの数字が特別になるよ

Oh, even ordinary numbers become special

あなたと歩む世界は

The world I walk with you is

息を飲むほど美しいんだ

So beautiful, it takes my breath away

人寄せぬ荒野の真ん中

In the middle of a wilderness where no one comes

私の手を握り返したあなた

You took my hand and held it back

あなた以外なんにもいらない

I don't need anything but you

大概の問題は取るに足らない

Most problems are insignificant

多くは望まない 神様お願い

I don't ask for much, God, please

代り映えしない明日をください

Give me a tomorrow that’s unchanged

戦争の始まりを知らせる放送も

Even broadcasts announcing the start of war

アクティヴィストの足音も届かない

And the footsteps of activists are inaudible

この部屋にいたい もう少し

I want to stay in this room a little longer

Oh 肌の匂いが変わってしまうよ

Oh, your scent is changing

あなたの生きる時代が

The era you live in

迷いと煩悩に満ちていても

Even if full of doubts and worries

晴れ渡る夜空の光が震えるほど

The shining night sky’s light trembles

眩しいのはあなた

Because you are dazzling

あなた以外思い残さない

I have no regrets but you

大概の問題は取るに足らない

Most issues are insignificant

多くは望まない 神様お願い

I don't ask for much, God, please

代り映えしない明日をください

Give me a tomorrow that’s unchanged

何度聞かれようと

No matter how many times I ask

変わらない答えを

I want to hear the same answer

聞かせてあげたい

No matter what they say

なんと言われようと

I want to tell them about your future

あなたの行く末を

And what lies ahead for you

案じてやまない

I can’t stop worrying about you

終わりのない苦しみを甘受し

Endless suffering, I accept it all

Darling 旅を続けよう

Darling, let's continue our journey

あなた以外帰る場所は

There's no place else to return to but you

天上天下 どこにもない

Under the heavens, nowhere else

...

...
