Lyrics & Translation

[Japanese]

[English]

出逢った事実(こと)がすでに 哀しい運命だったとしても

Even if the fact that we met was a sad fate

あなたも僕もきっと 傷ついてしまう… それでも

You and I will surely get hurt... still

あなた情熱の嵐に咲いた秋桜 激しさを涙に閉じ込め

You, the cosmos blooming in the storm of passion, trapping intensity in tears

風に吹かれ 雨に撃たれ 綺麗に儚く咲いてる人

Blown by the wind, struck by the rain, blooming beautifully and fleetingly

愛しすぎて誰にも言えないこの純真(おもい)が

This pure feeling that I love too much, I can't tell anyone

僕たちを 無口にさせるよ もう

Makes us silent, already

ごめんと言えばあなたが消えそうで

If I say I'm sorry, it feels like you'll disappear

壊れるくらい抱き寄せた

I held you so tightly it felt like I might break

淋しさ埋めるために あなたを求めているんじゃない

I'm not seeking you just to fill my loneliness

離せない離したくない 諦められない… 純愛

I can't let go, I don't want to let go, I can't give up... pure love

「私だけのあなたじゃないからつらいの」と 一度だけ泣いたね 秋桜

"It's painful because you're not just mine," you cried once, cosmos

それでもまた 僕のために 今夜もせつなく咲いてる人

Yet again, for my sake, you bloom painfully tonight

愛してると何度あなたに伝えてみても

No matter how many times I try to tell you I love you

やるせなく 微笑むのは何故？ そう

Why do you smile helplessly? Yes

紛れもなく結ばれた僕たちは

Without a doubt, we are bound together

罪人なんかじゃない

We are not sinners

薄い色してる秋桜が 触れ合うたびに鮮やかになってく

The pale-colored cosmos becomes vivid every time we touch

真っ赤に真っ赤に 肌を染めて 愛し合うそのたび赤くなる

Dyeing our skin bright red - every time we love, it turns red

愛しすぎて誰にも言えないこの純真(おもい)が

This pure feeling that I love too much, I can't tell anyone

僕たちを 無口にさせるよ もう

Makes us silent, already

ごめんと言えばあなたが消えそうで

If I say I'm sorry, it feels like you'll disappear

壊れるくらい抱き寄せた

I held you so tightly it felt like I might break

愛してると何度あなたに伝えてみても

No matter how many times I try to tell you I love you

やるせなく 微笑むのは何故？ そう

Why do you smile helplessly? Yes

紛れもなく結ばれた僕たちは

Without a doubt, we are bound together

罪人なんかじゃない

We are not sinners

罪人なんかじゃないよ

We are not sinners
