Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Even if I bet my life

It wouldn't balance out

For your happiness

I love these days

I don't need any meaning

I just want to be by your side

Even if the journey ends halfway

I have nothing left to leave behind

A single bubble I spat out

Countless grains of stone scattered on the shore

Both my birth and upbringing

The structure of this world

Everything is twisted

In the end, both you and I

Ah

Is it a life that boils and bursts?

Is the body pulled from the sea

My form from some time ago?

Ah

I've even forgotten how to breathe

Even now, I just

Cried out wanting to live

If I could pull back

The love that's drifting away

I would offer this body

Anywhere, no matter how much

If all the memories reflected in the revolving lantern

Were filled with you

I would have nothing left to leave behind

Ah, I was just too young

It's too late to turn back now

I've come to know love

The cost of that is immeasurable

Ah, regret is meaningless

The fact that your eyes are shining now is a miracle

I've come to know love

Even at this point

I cried out wanting to live

If all the memories reflected in the revolving lantern

Were filled with you

I would have nothing left to leave behind

Even if I bet my life

It wouldn't balance out

For your happiness

I love these days

I don't need any meaning

I just want to be by your side

Even if the journey ends halfway

I have nothing left to leave behind

[Japanese]

この身賭けたとて

釣り合う訳もない

あなたの幸せに

愛しこの日々に

意味などは要らない　

ただただ傍に居たい

道半ば果てたとて

もう思い遺すことは無い

ぶくぶく吐き出した泡一粒

海岸に散らばる無数の石の粒

生まれも育ちも

この世界の仕組みも

狂っているよ全部

俺もお前も結局

嗚呼

沸いては弾ける命か

海から揚げられた遺体は

いつかの俺の姿か

嗚呼

息継ぎの仕方さえ忘れた

そんな今もただただ

生きたいと泣いてた

遠ざかる愛を

引き戻せるのなら

この身など幾らでも

何処へでも差し出すから

走馬灯に映る全ての記憶が

あなたで埋め尽くされたなら

もう思い遺すことは無い

嗚呼 あまりにも若すぎたの

今更引き返せやしないよ

愛を知ってしまった

その代償は計り知れないね

嗚呼 後悔なんて無意味だ

あなたの瞳が輝いてる今が奇跡だ

愛を知ってしまった

此の期に及んで尚

生きたいと泣いてた

走馬灯に映る全ての記憶が

あなたで埋め尽くされたなら

もう思い遺すことは無い

この身賭けたとて

釣り合う訳もない

あなたの幸せに

愛しこの日々に

意味などは要らない

ただただ傍に居たい

道半ば果てたとて

もう思い遺すことは無い
