[English]

カムパネルラ　夢を見ていた

Campanella, I was dreaming

君のあとに　咲いたリンドウの花

Following you, a Gentian flower bloomed

この街は　変わり続ける

This city keeps changing

計らずも　君を残して

Unintentionally, I left you behind

真昼の海で眠る月光蟲

The moonlit insect sleeping in the noon sea

戻らないあの日に想いを巡らす

Thinking back to that day that won't come back

オルガンの音色で踊るスタチュー

A statue dancing to the sound of an organ

時間だけ通り過ぎていく

Only time keeps passing by

あの人の言う通り　わたしの手は汚れてゆくのでしょう

Just as they say, my hands are becoming dirty

追い風に翻り　わたしはまだ生きてゆくでしょう

Turning with the tailwind, I will keep living

終わる日まで寄り添うように

Standing close until the day it ends

君を憶えていたい

I want to remember you

カムパネルラ　そこは豊かか

Campanella, is that place abundant?

君の目が　眩むくらいに

To the point your eyes blur

タールの上で　陽炎が揺れる

The heat haze shimmers on the tar

爆ぜるような　夏の灯火

Bursting summer flames

真白な鳥と歌う針葉樹

Conifers singing with pure white birds

見つめる全てが面影になる

Everything I gaze at becomes a memory

波打ち際にボタンが一つ

A single button on the shoreline

君がくれた寂しさよ

The loneliness you gave me

あの人の言う通り　いつになれど癒えない傷があるでしょう

Just as they say, there are wounds that won't heal no matter how long

黄昏を振り返り　その度　過ちを知るでしょう

Looking back at dusk, each time realizing my mistakes

君がいない日々は続く

Days without you continue

しじまの中　独り

Alone within silence

光を受け止めて　跳ね返り輝くクリスタル

Embracing the light, reflecting and shining like crystal

君がつけた傷も　輝きのその一つ

The wounds you caused are also part of the shine

光を受け止めて　跳ね返り輝くクリスタル

Embracing the light, reflecting and shining like crystal

君がつけた傷も　輝きのその一つ

The wounds you caused are also part of the shine

あの人の言う通り　わたしの手は汚れてゆくのでしょう

Just as they say, my hands are becoming dirty

追い風に翻り　わたしはまだ生きてゆける

Turning with the tailwind, I can still keep living

あの人の言う通り　いつになれど癒えない傷があるでしょう

Just as they say, there are wounds that won't heal no matter how long

黄昏を振り返り　その度　過ちを知るでしょう

Looking back at dusk, each time realizing my mistakes

終わる日まで寄り添うように

Standing close until the day it ends

君を憶えていたい

I want to remember you
