Through the raging seasons

二人は一人きり さらり

The two of us, all alone, carefree

明け行く夕日の中を今夜も昼下がり

In the dawning sunset, tonight again, at midday

さらり

Carefree

どれほど朽ち果てようと最後にゃ笑いたい

No matter how much I decay, I want to laugh in the end

何のために戦おうとも動機は愛がいい

No matter what I fight for, love is the best motivation

新しい日々は探さずとも常に ここに

A new day is always here, no need to seek it out

色々見てきたけれどこの瞳は永遠に きらり

I've seen many things, but these eyes shine forever

あれほど生きてきたけど全ては夢みたい

Though I've lived so much, everything feels like a dream

あれもこれも魅力的でも私は君がいい

All these things, so charming, but I prefer you

どこにいたの 探してたよ

Where were you? I was looking for you

連れてって 連れてって

Take me, take me

何もかも 捨ててくよ

I'll leave everything behind

どこまでも どこまでも

Endlessly, endlessly

Through the raging seasons or among the crowd

君とならば さらり さらり

If it's with you, carefree, carefree

無くしてしまったものを振り返って

Looking back at what was lost

A little tear

時には途方に暮れて

Sometimes I feel lost

Just swayed by the wind

息せき切ってきたの

Breathless, I came here

行き先は決めたの

Have I decided where to go?

I want to go without hesitation, but I can't promise

Still, I'm glad I realized that
