優しいあの子

Lyrics:

[日本語]

[English]

重い扉を押し開けたら暗い道が続いてて

When I pushed open that heavy door, a dark path continued on

めげずに歩いたその先に知らなかった世界

Unfazed, I walked forward and found a world I didn't know

氷を散らす風すら味方にもできるんだなあ

Even the gusts that scatter ice can become allies, I guess

切り取られることのない丸い大空の色を

The color of the round sky that’s never cut away

優しいあの子にも教えたいルルル...

I want to tell that gentle girl too, lalala...

口にする度に泣けるほど憧れて砕かれて

Every time I say it, I want to cry because I admire it so much, shattered

消えかけた火を胸に抱きたどり着いたコタン

Holding onto a dying flame in my heart, I reached the small town

芽吹きを待つ仲間が麓にも生きていたんだなあ

I realize that even the friends waiting to sprout are alive at the foothills

寂しい夜温める古い許しの歌を

On lonely nights, I warm an old forgiving song

優しいあの子にも聴かせたいルルル...

I want to let that gentle girl hear it too, lalala...

...

...

怖がりで言いそびれたありがとうの一言と

A thank you I hesitated to say because I was scared, and

日なたでまた会えるなら丸い大空の色を

If I can meet again under the sun, with the color of the round sky

優しいあの子にも教えたいルルル...

I want to tell that gentle girl too, lalala...

...

...
