かくれんぼ

• By: AliA

Lyrics:

[日本語]

[English]

"いっせーのー"で鳴り響いたスタートの合図

With a "ready, set, go," the signal rang out

なぞった線で結んだ世界

A world connected by traced lines

色付けていく ここから

We start to add color from here

...

...

物心がつく頃 すでに此処にあった

By the time I became aware, it was already here

僕じゃない誰かの記憶は

Memories that aren't mine

夕陽とともに蘇る

Revive with the setting sun

古ぼけた絵本を取り出して

I take out an old picture book

落書きの中に１つの答えを見つけた

Found one answer within the scribbles

自分の価値に 目を疑って

I doubted my own worth

どこまでだって 堕ちていけるの

I can fall as far as I want

どこか遠くに 消えてしまいたい

I want to disappear somewhere far away

こんな世界じゃ 僕はいらない

In this world, I feel unnecessary

カウントダウンは始まっているよ

The countdown has already begun

"いっせーのー"で声を上げて

With a "ready, set, go," I raise my voice

聴こえてくるんだ

I can hear it coming

自分の影の長さに気付く

I notice the length of my own shadow

もうこんな時間だ

It's already this time

一等星が顔を出した

The first star has appeared

届きそうで手を伸ばした

I reached out, feeling like I could touch it

次は僕に着いてきなよ

Next, follow me

どんな暗闇でも

No matter how dark it gets

(もういいかい？まーだだよ)

(Are you ready? Not yet)

幕は上がりだした

The curtain has started to rise

(もういいかい？まーだだよ)

(Are you ready? Not yet)

色付けていく ここから

We start to add color from here

...

...

10年後の僕らはすれ違いばかりで

Ten years later, we keep passing by each other

幻想に想いを馳せては

Lost in fantasies

"戻れない"そう思いこんだ

I convinced myself that "I can't go back"

くたびれた心に追い討ちを

Adding to the weary heart

あの頃と変わらない夕陽も

The sunset, unchanged from those days

なんとも思わない

Doesn't mean anything to me

自分を信じ 歩いていければ

If I can believe in myself and keep walking

どこまでだって 昇れるのにな

I could rise as high as I want

カットを跨ぐ その空白に

Crossing over cuts, in that blank space

大切なモノ 見落としている

I’m overlooking something important

見つけられないと泣きわめく君へ

To you, who cries out that you can't find it

"いっせーのー"で声を上げて

With a "ready, set, go," raise your voice

聴こえてくるんだ

I can hear it coming

自分の影の長さに気付く

I notice the length of my own shadow

もうこんな時間だ

It's already this time

一等賞で駆け抜ける君

You, who rushes through as the top prize

くっついていただけの僕でも

Even I, who just stuck around

君の前を歩けるかな？

Can I walk in front of you?

こんな頼りない僕でも

Even someone as unreliable as me

宝箱はホコリをかぶったまま

The treasure chest remains covered in dust

...

...

無くした鍵はずっと

The lost key was always

君のポケットの中にあった

In your pocket

散らばっていた全てが

Everything that was scattered

今ひとつに重なる

Now overlaps into one

手を取り 始めよう

Let's take hands and begin

僕たちの物語

Our story

一度はいらないと思った

I once thought I didn't need it

今なら胸を張れる気がしたんだ

But now I feel I can hold my head high

愛おしくて 掛け声はいつも

So dear, the cheers are always

"いっせーのー"で声を上げて

With a "ready, set, go," raise your voice

"いっせーのー"で声を上げて

With a "ready, set, go," raise your voice

聴こえてくるんだ

I can hear it coming

自分の影の長さに気付く

I notice the length of my own shadow

もうこんな時間だ

It's already this time

一等星が顔を出した

The first star has appeared

届きそうで手を伸ばした

I reached out, feeling like I could touch it

次は僕に着いてきなよ

Next, follow me

どんな暗闇でも

No matter how dark it gets

(もういいかい？まーだだよ)

(Are you ready? Not yet)

泣きじゃくった声で

With a voice that cried

(もういいかい？まーだだよ)

(Are you ready? Not yet)

笑う君が見えた

I saw you laughing

(もういいかい？まーだだよ)

(Are you ready? Not yet)

幕は上がりだした

The curtain has started to rise

(もういいかい？もういいよ)

(Are you ready? It's okay now)

色付けていく ここから

We start to add color from here
