GHOST

• Par: 星街すいせい

Paroles:

[日本語]

[English]

パッと弾けた感情に

Feelings bursting open in an instant

言い訳を並べて過ごした

Spent my time making excuses

葛藤も知らない 街明かり

City lights unaware of inner struggles

君だけだって 嘘をついた

I lied to only you

信じたくもないままで 踊っている

Dancing without wanting to believe

示すために 連ね続けた 言葉

Kept saying words to show it

見えないの 僕が

I'm invisible

僕のこの声が聞こえてる？

Can you hear my voice?

Dancer in the dark

Dancer in the dark

シルエットすらも透明できっと

Even the silhouette feels transparent, surely

不格好だけれど でも

Clumsy, but still

せめて声を枯らそう

At least I'll shout until my voice is gone

必死に鎚っても ずっと証明を

Even fighting desperately, still trying to prove

ねぇゴーストみたいだ

Hey, I'm like a ghost

...

...

散々恨んだ明るさと

Harboring so much resentment for the brightness

意味有りげに伸びていく影

Shadows stretching meaningfully

淡々と過ぎた一粒の

A single, quietly passing moment

君の言葉で泣きたくなった

Made me want to cry with your words

大切にしたいものが零れていく

Things I cherish are slipping away

示すままにり綴けたい 言葉

I want to write words that show this

見えてるの 僕が

Can you see? My voice

僕のこの声が届いてる？

Can my voice reach you?

Dancer in the dark

Dancer in the dark

シルエットすらも透明できっと

Even the silhouette feels transparent, surely

不格好だけれど でも

Clumsy, but still

だから叫んで 足拉いて

So I’ll shout and run barefoot

裸足のまま走って

Running barefeet

ねぇ気付いて 教えてよ 答えは

Hey, notice me, tell me — what’s the answer?

こんな僕の心まで 馬鹿にしないで

Don’t mock even my heart

...

...

灰色の街が嗤ってる Wow

The gray city is mocking, wow

足取りも重くなる

My steps grow heavier

声を枯らして 叫んで足掻いて

Shouting until my voice is gone, struggling

裸足で走り続けて

Continuing to run barefoot

変わらないように

So things don’t change

諦めないように

So I won’t give up

連ね綴るだけだ

Just keep saying and writing it

見つけてよ 僕を

Find me

僕のこの声が聞こえてる？

Can you hear my voice?

Dancer in the dark

Dancer in the dark

シルエットすらも透明で

Even the silhouette feels transparent

きっと不格好だけれど

Surely clumsy, but

でも せめて声を 枯らそう

At least I’ll shout and wear out my voice

必死に縋っても ずっと証明を

Even desperately clinging, still trying to prove

ねえゴーストみたいだ

Hey, I’m like a ghost

あぁ

Ah

...
