Lyrics & Translation

[Japanese]

[English]

あなたが望むなら

If you desire it, this heart will be pierced through

この胸を射通して

Even the unreliable me, someday

頼りの無い僕もいつか

If I become someone

何者かに成れたなら

For no particular reason

訳もなく

Tears seem ready to overflow

涙が溢れそうな

Fill the night

夜を埋め尽くす

Turning into a shining dream

輝く夢と成る

My breath is faint and unreliable

...

...

白い息は頼りなく

It melts and disappears in the cold winter

冬の寒さに溶けて消えた

The intertwined hands from that day

あの日の重ねた手と手の

Relying only on the warmth

余熱じゃあまりに頼りないの

Is too uncertain

春はいつだって

Spring always comes

当たり前の様に

As if it's natural

迎えに来ると

To come and pick me up

そう思っていたあの頃

Back then, I thought that

瞼閉じれば

If I close my eyes

夢はいつだって

Dreams are always

正夢だと信じてたあの頃

Believed to be a true dream back then

あなたが望むなら

If you want it,

何処迄も飛べるから

You can fly anywhere

意気地の無い僕もいつか

Even the timid me, someday

生きる意味を見つけたなら

If I find the meaning of living

愛と憎を

By connecting love and hate,

聢と繋ぎ合わせて

And resentment

一生涯醒めない程の

Into a single unbreakable dream that lasts a lifetime,

荒んだ夢と成る

It turns into a wild, tumultuous dream

...

...

凍える夜空を

On a freezing night sky,

二人で抜け出すの

The two of us escape

あたたかいコートを

If I’d gently put on a warm coat

そっと掛けたなら

You’d always be by my side,

あなたはいつだって

Back then, I thought that

当たり前の様に隣にいると

I can't forget

そう思っていたあの頃

The rain of memories that seeps into old wounds,

失くせやしない

Even when it drips deep into my chest,

記憶の雨が古傷へと

If you want it,

沁み渡ろうとも

This heart will be pierced through

あなたが望むなら

Even the unreliable me, someday

この胸を射通して

If I become someone

頼りの無い僕もいつか

For no particular reason

何者かに成れたなら

Tears seem ready to overflow

訳もなく

Fill the night

涙が溢れそうな

Turning into a shining dream

夜を埋め尽くす

Even if it's a false dream or a reverse dream,

輝く夢と成る

Whether it's a true or false dream,

...

...

記憶の海を潜って

Diving into the sea of memories,

愛の欠片を拾って

Picking up fragments of love,

あなたの中にずっと

Quietly within you,

眩しい世界をそっと yeah

Gazing at the dazzling world, yeah

この愛が例え呪いのように

Even if this love, like a curse,

じんわりとじんわりと

Grows little by little, little by little,

この身体蝕んだとしても

Even if it begins to gnaw at this body,

心の奥底から

From deep inside my heart,

あなたが溢れ出して

You overflow out,

求め合って重なり合う

We seek, overlap,

その先で僕ら夢と成れ

And in that moment, we become a dream

あなたが望むなら

If you desire it,

この胸を射通して

This heart will be pierced through

頼りの無い僕もいつか

Even the unreliable me, someday

何者かに成れたなら

If I become someone

訳もなく

For no particular reason

涙が溢れそうな

Tears seem ready to overflow

夜を埋め尽くす

Fill the night

輝く夢と成る

Turning into a shining dream

正夢でも 逆夢だとしても

Whether it's a true dream or a reverse dream,

...

...
