Lyrics & Translation

[Japanese]

[English]

光が閉じるように

As the light closes in

会えない人がまた増えても

Even if the number of people I can't meet increases

大人になれなかった

I couldn't become an adult

それを誰にも言えないでいる

And I can't tell anyone about it

素敵なものを 大事なものを

I've received wonderful things, precious things

抱えきれないくらいに もらったのに

Yet I can't hold onto them all

指先で雲をなぞって

Tracing the clouds with my fingertips

僕にはもう見えないもの

There are things I can no longer see

描く君に

As you draw

かける言葉があるとしても

Even if I have words to say

僕にはとても探せないだろう

I probably won't be able to find them

頼んだ覚えは無くても

Even if I don't remember asking

守られてきた事は知ってる

I know I've been protected

自分じゃできやしないけど

I can't do it on my own

君には優しくあれと願い 祈る

But I wish for you to be gentle, I pray

似合ってなんかいなくて なにもかも足りないのに

I don't fit in at all - even though I'm lacking in everything

投げ出し方も分かんなくて ここにいる

I don't even know how to give up - I'm here

張りぼてに描いた虹でも

Even if it's a rainbow drawn on a cardboard

手垢にまみれたバトンでも

Or a baton covered in fingerprints

なにかひとつ

If I could find just one thing

渡せるものが見つけられたら

That I could pass on

少しは胸を張れるだろうか

Maybe I could hold my head a little higher

閉じた絵本の 終わりのページで

On the last page of a closed picture book

これは誰の人生だ

Whose life is this?

誰の人生だ

Whose life is this?

誰の人生だ

Whose life is this?

誰の人生だ

Whose life is this?

誰の人生だ

Whose life is this?

真白な君の未来を

Your future, pure white

真白なまま

Stays pure white

君が色を塗れるように

So you can paint it with colors

指先で雲をなぞって

Tracing the clouds with my fingertips

僕にはもう見えないものを

There are things I can no longer see

描く君に

As you draw

かける言葉があるとしても

Even if I have words to say

僕にはとても探せないだろう

I probably won't be able to find them

でもいつか君が誰かを

But someday, if you wish

どうにか幸せにしたいと

To somehow make someone happy

願う日に

On the day you wish for that

笑って頷けたとしたら

If you could smile and nod

それでもうじゅうぶんじゃないかと思う

Then I think that would be enough
