Lyrics:

[日本語]

[English]

この身賭けたとて

Even if I bet my life

釣り合う訳もない

It wouldn't balance out

あなたの幸せに

For your happiness

愛しこの日々に

I love these days

意味などは要らない　

I don't need any meaning

ただただ傍に居たい

I just want to be by your side

道半ば果てたとて

Even if the journey ends halfway

もう思い遺すことは無い

I have nothing left to leave behind

ぶくぶく吐き出した泡一粒

A single bubble I spat out

海岸に散らばる無数の石の粒

Countless grains of stone scattered on the shore

生まれも育ちも

Both my birth and upbringing

この世界の仕組みも

The structure of this world

狂っているよ全部

Everything is twisted

俺もお前も結局

In the end, both you and I

嗚呼

Ah

沸いては弾ける命か

Is it a life that boils and bursts?

海から揚げられた遺体は

Is the body pulled from the sea

いつかの俺の姿か

My form from some time ago?

嗚呼

Ah

息継ぎの仕方さえ忘れた

I've even forgotten how to breathe

そんな今もただただ

Even now, I just

生きたいと泣いてた

Cried out wanting to live

遠ざかる愛を

If I could pull back

引き戻せるのなら

The love that's drifting away

この身など幾らでも

I would offer this body

何処へでも差し出すから

Anywhere, no matter how much

走馬灯に映る全ての記憶が

If all the memories reflected in the revolving lantern

あなたで埋め尽くされたなら

Were filled with you

もう思い遺すことは無い

I would have nothing left to leave behind

嗚呼 あまりにも若すぎたの

Ah, I was just too young

今更引き返せやしないよ

It's too late to turn back now

愛を知ってしまった

I've come to know love

その代償は計り知れないね

The cost of that is immeasurable

嗚呼 後悔なんて無意味だ

Ah, regret is meaningless

あなたの瞳が輝いてる今が奇跡だ

The fact that your eyes are shining now is a miracle

愛を知ってしまった

I've come to know love

此の期に及んで尚

Even at this point

生きたいと泣いてた

I cried out wanting to live

走馬灯に映る全ての記憶が

If all the memories reflected in the revolving lantern

あなたで埋め尽くされたなら

Were filled with you

もう思い遺すことは無い

I would have nothing left to leave behind

この身賭けたとて

Even if I bet my life

釣り合う訳もない

It wouldn't balance out

あなたの幸せに

For your happiness

愛しこの日々に

I love these days

意味などは要らない

I don't need any meaning

ただただ傍に居たい

I just want to be by your side

道半ば果てたとて

Even if the journey ends halfway

もう思い遺すことは無い

I have nothing left to leave behind
