きらきらにひかる

• By: いきものがかり

Lyrics:

[日本語]

[English]

忘れないでいて

Please don't forget

悲しみのなかで

In the midst of sadness

ひとりでいないで

Don't be alone

誰か抱きよせて

Someone hold me close

きらきらにひかる

Shining brightly

あなたのなみだは

Your tears

つながれていくから

Are being connected

言葉に願いを

Wishing through words

...

...

手を添えたって消えない痛みがある

There are pains that won't disappear even if you touch them

わかりあえないから 覚悟がいるんだ

Because we can't understand each other, we need to be prepared

心はきっとひとつにはなれなくて

Our hearts surely can't become one

だからそばにいると決めるの それだけ

So I've decided to stay by your side, that's all

見上げた夜空に星が舞う

In the night sky I looked up to, stars dance

いくつの 願いが 消えたの

How many wishes have vanished?

いつかその声が

Someday that voice

誰かをたすけて

Will help someone

優しさになって

And turn into kindness

明日を変えるまで

Until it changes tomorrow

きらきらにひかる

Shining brightly

あなたのなみだは

Your tears

つながれていくから

Are being connected

言葉に願いを

Wishing through words

正しさなんて誰を救えるんだ

What kind of righteousness can save anyone?

拾いきれぬ想いがこんなにもあるのに

Even though there are so many feelings I can't gather

あやまちだって人間の輝きで

Mistakes are also the brilliance of being human

不揃いな僕たちは寄り添う それだけ

We, who are mismatched, just lean on each other, that's all

見上げた夜空が明けていく

The night sky I looked up to is breaking dawn

いくつの 願いが 生まれたの

How many wishes have been born?

笑顔じゃなくていい

It's okay not to smile

幸せじゃなくていい

It's okay not to be happy

生きていくことは

Living on

あなただけのもの

Is only yours

風にぶつけてた

With your gaze

まなざしのままで

That was hitting the wind

けしてやめないで

Don't ever stop

愛をさがすこと

Searching for love

どうか顔をあげて

Please lift your face

...

...

見上げた夜空につぶやいた

I whispered to the night sky

なんども 願いよ 輝いて

Wishes, shine again and again

愛につながれて

Connected by love

生まれてきたのに

Even though we were born

どうして僕らは

Why are we

離れていくのか

Drifting apart?

きらきらにひかる

Shining brightly

まっすぐなあなたを

Don't leave the straightforward you alone

ひとりにしないで

Someone hold me close

誰か抱きよせて

That will happen again and again

それはなんどでも

That will happen again and again

それはなんどでも

Because it will reach

届いていくから

Because it is being connected

つながれていくから

Because it will reach

届いていくから

Because it is being connected

つながれていくから

つながれていくから

...
