描いた理想の自分とは

The ideal self I envisioned

かけ離れた現在と

Is completely different from now

にらめっこして笑っている

We glare at each other and laugh

ごまかし隠す春の日に

On this spring day of hiding and pretending

南風で髪がなびく

My hair flutters in the south wind

あの子の横顔に

In that person’s profile

苦笑いやめ誓ってやる

I swear to stop smiling with a bitter laugh

今年の夏の日は

This summer day

音より光より

More than sound, more than light

真っ直ぐに早く届けと願う

I wish it would reach you quickly and straight

気持ちがあるなら

If you have these feelings

笑ってごまかしていないで

Don’t just laugh and hide it

With wounds and sadness

By your side at that moment
