ガジュマル ～Heaven in the Rain～

• By: ReoNa

Lyrics:

[日本語]

[English]

心残りが あるとしたなら

If there are any regrets left in my heart

言えなかった 「さよなら」でしょうか

Could it be the "goodbye" I couldn't say?

後悔ばかり 降り止まないのは

The endless regrets that keep falling

いつか来る終わりから 逃げたからでしょうか

Are because I ran away from the end that will come someday?

あなたが庭に植えた

The large Gajumaru you planted in the garden

大きなガジュマルが

Is weeping with its drooping branches

枝を垂らして 泣いているよ

...

...

I loved you

愛していた

That was all there was to it

ただそれだけのことが

Just those few words

たったそれだけの言葉が

I wish I could have said them

言えたらよかったのに

Oh rain, melt this eternal farewell

永遠の別れを 雨よ 溶かして

The sweet-scented Rain Tree

甘く香る Rain Tree

Memories are overflowing

思い出が溢れていく

I want to see you

会いたいよ

I just want to see you

ただ 会いたいよ

...

...

This sorrow of losing you

あなたを失くした この悲しみも

Will it heal with the passing of time?

時が過ぎれば 癒えるのでしょうか

If it means forgetting even the pain

痛みとともに 思い出さえも

Then wounds, please don't heal

忘れるぐらいなら 傷よ 癒えないで

In the sound of the waves and the wind

潮騒と風の中

In the shade of a tree where no one is around

誰もいない木陰で

I'm searching for you

あなたを探してる

Fading memories, please don't disappear

滲んでゆく面影よ 消えないで

...

...

In times of hardship, in times of doubt

つらいときに 迷ったときに

When I want to disappear

消えたいときに

I still remember you

いまだにあなたを思い出すよ

The Gajumaru is crying

ガジュマルが泣いている

ガジュマルが泣いている

愛していた

I loved you

ただそれだけのことが

That was all there was to it

たったそれだけの言葉が

Just those few words

言えたらよかったのに

I wish I could have said them

永遠の別れを 雨よ 溶かして

Oh rain, melt this eternal farewell

甘く香る Rain Tree

The sweet-scented Rain Tree

思い出が溢れていく

Memories are overflowing

会いたいよ 会いたいんだよ

I want to see you, I really want to see you

雨の向こうの あなたに届けたいよ

I want to reach you on the other side of the rain

伝えたかった 愛の歌を

The love song I wanted to convey

僕は歌うよ

I will sing it

Heaven in the Rain

Heaven in the Rain

...

...
