Lyrics & Translation

[Japanese]

[English]

たとえるなら 二つのリボン

If I had to compare it to two ribbons

結び合わせないままでもいい

It's okay if they don't tie together

しわくちゃにもならずにただ

Without getting wrinkled or anything, just

それぞれ螺旋を描いて

Each drawing its own spiral

あのね 夢見てるのは

You know, what I'm dreaming of

誰も知らない景色を

Is a scenery no one knows

あなたと並んで見ること

Seeing it side by side with you

海辺でも朝日でも

On the beach, or sunrise

夜更けでも木立でもいい

Even late at night or in the woods is fine

叶うでしょうか

Could it possibly come true?

愛しさの陰に隠れた痛みと我儘を

Even the pain and selfishness hidden behind love

全部飲み込んでも

Even if I swallow them all

まだ優しい気持ちになれる

I can still feel gentle feelings

満たされるよりも永く

Longer than being fulfilled

触れるよりもたしかに

More surely than just touching

透き通る声をきいていた

Listening to your clear voice

雨上がりのあとさき

After the rain, the aftermath

たとえるなら描きかけの絵

If I had to compare it to a half-finished painting

それはずっと出来上がらないまま

It will never be completed

重ねた線 塗られない色

Layers of lines, unpainted colors

それでも無性に焼きついて

Even so, they burn into me instinctively

あなたのいる世界は

Because the world where you are

捨てたものじゃないから

Is not something to throw away

忘れたくないことばかりです

It's all things I don't want to forget

あのね 夢見てるのは

You know, what I'm dreaming of

一番嬉しいことが そう

The happiest thing is, yes

誰かの幸せ

Someone's happiness

あなたの幸せになること

Becoming your happiness

愛しさの陰に隠れた痛みと我儘を

Even the pain and selfishness hidden behind love

全部飲み込んでも

Swallowing it all

まだ優しい気持ちになれる

I can still feel gentle feelings

抱きしめるよりも近く

Closer than hugging

語るよりもたしかに

More definitely than speaking

つらぬいた声をきいていた

Listening to your unwavering voice

雨上がりのあとさき

After the rain, the aftermath

たとえるなら 二つのリボン

If I had to compare it to two ribbons

結び合わせないままでもいい

It's okay if they don't tie together

並んでただ続いていく

Just walking side by side, continuing on

螺旋を描けたなら

If only we can draw spirals
