夜天

• By: 女王蜂

Lyrics:

[日本語]

[English]

例えば言葉の全てに力を失くしたとしても

Even if all words lose their strength

誰かのことを思う心に嘘も偽りもなく

There's no lies or falsehood in caring for someone

ひたむきな美しさは切なさや儚さを超えて

Pure beauty surpasses sadness and fleetingness

呆れるほどに高く深く さあどこへだって行ける

So high and deep it’s almost shocking—anywhere we can go

ジョークを考えるより茶化すことの方が

Thinking up jokes is easier than joking around

とても楽なのに それを選べない人たち

But those who choose this find it hard to

思い詰めてしまった夜の果て 私たちは出会い

At the end of a night of overthinking, we meet

持ち寄る孤独は灯火のように 胸に宿る

Shared loneliness burns like a light within us

...

...

季節たちよりも豊かで 時計の針より確かな

More abundant than the changing seasons, more certain than the clock’s hands

かけがえのない何もかも全て

All the irreplaceable things, everything

そういつだって試されてる

Are always put to the test

深く隔てている 悲しみに飲まれて

Deeply divided, swallowed by sadness

繋いだ手を弾く 痛みが走ってゆく

The pain shoots through as we shake hands

もしも本当の意味でやり直す方法が 最後の手段だとしても

Even if true renewal is the last resort

砂時計の残り一粒残らず 好きに染めて使い切るだけ

Just dye and use up every last grain of sand in the hourglass

...

...

寂しさたちこめ輝く星は

Stars shining brightly amid loneliness

強く抱き合う程に砕けては光り ああ

They shatter and glow the more we hold each other tight, ah

いつかあの頃には戻れないことを 思い知るのそれでも

Knowing someday we can never go back to those days, we realize

喜びはいつも見出すものと 忘れないでいたい

But I want to remember that joy is always something we find

思い詰めてしまった夜の果て 私たちは出会い

At the end of a night of overthinking, we meet

持ち寄る孤独は星たちのように 胸に宿り

The loneliness we share resides in our hearts like stars

胸に宿り 胸に宿し続ける

Residing in our hearts, continuing to dwell within

...
