Lyrics & Translation

[Japanese]

[English]

あなたの指が

Your fingers

その胸が その瞳が

Your chest, your eyes

眩しくて少し

Are so dazzling, it's a bit

眩暈がする 夜もある

Sometimes I feel dizzy at night

それは不意に落ちてきて

It falls unexpectedly

あまりにも暖かくて

And it's so warm

飲み込んだ 七色の星

I swallowed a rainbow-colored star

弾ける火花みたいに

Like bursting sparks

ぎゅっと僕を困らせた

It tightly troubled me

それでまだ歩いてゆけること

And that's how I learned

教わったんだ

That I can still keep walking

神様 どうか どうか

God, please, please

声を聞かせて

Let me hear your voice

ほんのちょっとでいいから

Just a little bit is enough

もう二度と 離れないように

So that we never part again

あなたと二人

You and I

あの星座のように

Like that constellation

結んで欲しくて

I want us to be connected

夢の中でさえどうも

Even in dreams, I'm not really

上手じゃない 心具合

Good at this feeling

気にしないでって

Don't worry about it

嘆いたこと

I lamented

泣いていたこと

That I was crying

解れた袖の糸を引っぱって

Pulling the threads of my unraveled sleeves

ふっと星座を作ってみたんだ

I tried to create a constellation

お互いの指を星として

With our fingers as stars

それは酷くでたらめで

It was terribly random

僕ら笑いあえたんだ

But we could laugh together

そこにあなたがいてくれたなら

If you were there with me

それでいいんだ

That would be enough

今なら どんな どんな

Now, no matter what

困難でさえも

Even the toughest challenges

愛して見せられるのに

I could show my love

あんまりに 柔くも澄んだ

In the soft and clear

夜明けの間

Moments of dawn

ただ眼を見ていた

I just kept looking into your eyes

淡い色の瞳だ

With those pale-colored eyes

真白でいる 陶器みたいな

You had a voice like porcelain, pure white

声をしていた 冬の匂いだ

It smelled like winter

心の中 静かに荒む

Quietly stirring within my heart

嵐を飼う 闇の途中で

In the midst of the storm I tame

落ちてきたんだ 僕の頭上に

It fell upon me, above my head

煌めく星

A sparkling star

泣きそうなくらいに

So close it made me want to cry

触れていたんだ

I was touching it

神様 どうか どうか

God, please, please

声を聞かせて

Let me hear your voice

ほんのちょっとでいいから

Just a little bit is enough

もう二度と 離れないように

So that we never part again

あなたと二人

You and I

この星座のように

Like this constellation

結んで欲しくて

I want us to be connected

結んで欲しくて

I want us to be connected
