Lyrics & Translation

[Japanese]

[English]

夜明け前 吹き荒れた風は何の前触れ？

Before dawn, the fierce wind, is it a warning?

嘘で固めたハートはがれ落ちてく

My heart, built with lies, is falling apart.

泣かないと約束したのに止まらないスコール

Though I promised not to cry, the sudden downpour won't stop.

君の声が不意に聞こえたせいさ

It’s because I suddenly heard your voice.

見つからないものばかりが増えていっても

Even as only unrevealed things increase,

この想いは失くしていないよ

My feelings haven't disappeared.

降り出した流星群に願いを積んで

On the falling meteor shower, I make a wish.

君の明日へ放つ

And send it toward your tomorrow.

「いつかまた会える」って言わないよ

I won't say “we'll meet again someday.”

振り向かず行けるように

So I can move forward without looking back.

ずっと叶えたかったその未来って

That future I’ve always wanted to realize,

今夜かもしれない つながった手を今

Maybe it’s tonight. Now, with the held hand,

強く握った 同じ空の下

I grip it tightly, under the same sky.

...

...

ぶつかり合った日は誰より遠くに感じて

On days we clash, it feels further away than anyone else.

ポケットの「ごめんね」が 取り出せないまま

The “sorry” in my pocket, I can't take it out.

不器用に振り回してばかりだったのに

Though I’ve only been clumsily swinging around,

君はいつも隣にいてくれたね

You’ve always been by my side.

「さよなら」の代わりをずっと

Searching forever for a substitute for “goodbye,”

探してるの 遠い空が滲んでゆく

The distant sky blurs.

過ぎ去った流星群を胸に抱いて

Holding in my heart the fallen meteor shower,

僕はエールを送る

I send a cheer to you.

どんな深い森に迷ったって

No matter how deep into the forest I get lost,

笑顔がすぐそばにあった

My smile is right nearby.

毎日にひそんだサプライズが 君を大きく変える

A hidden surprise in each day can change you greatly.

輝くダイヤモンド 心にひとつ 忘れないように

A shining diamond, so one in my heart, so I won't forget.

もし世界が色を変えて 帰り道がわからなくても

Even if the world changes color and I forget the way home,

行かなくちゃ

I have to go.

...

...

降り出した流星群に願いを積んで

On the falling meteor shower, I make a wish.

君の明日へ放つ

And send it toward your tomorrow.

どんな離れてたって感じ合える絆が僕らにはあるさ

No matter how far apart we are, our bond can still be felt.

もっと強くなれる

We can become even stronger.

信じてる 奇跡だって起こせる

I believe—we can make miracles happen.

つながった手を 今そっと離した

Gently releasing the held hand now.

同じ空の下

Under the same sky.

君はひとりじゃない

You are not alone.
