天体観測

• Par: BUMP OF CHICKEN

Paroles:

[日本語]

[English]

午前二時　フミキリに　望遠鏡を担いでった

At 2 a.m., I carried my telescope to the foot of the Fujimiki mountain.

ベルトに結んだラジオ　雨は降らないらしい

A radio tied to my belt, seems like it won't rain tonight.

二分後に君が来た　大袈裟な荷物しょって来た

You arrived two minutes later, carrying a dramatic load.

始めようか　天体観測　ほうき星を探して

Shall we start? Stargazing, searching for a shooting star.

深い闇に飲まれないように　精一杯だった

Trying not to be swallowed by the deep darkness, I did my best.

君の震える手を　握ろうとした　あの日は

That day, I tried to hold your trembling hand.

見えないモノを見ようとして　望遠鏡を覗き込んだ

Looking into the telescope, trying to see things that can't be seen.

静寂を切り裂いて　いくつも声が生まれたよ

Voices were born slicing through the silence.

明日が僕らを呼んだって　返事もろくにしなかった

Even when tomorrow called us, we hardly replied.

「イマ」という　ほうき星　君と二人追いかけていた

Chasing that shooting star called ‘Now,’ just you and I.

気が付けばいつだって　ひたすら何か探している

Before I knew it, I was always searching for something.

幸せの定義とか　哀しみの置き場とか

The meaning of happiness, or where sadness belongs.

生まれたら死ぬまで　ずっと探している

From birth until death, I keep searching.

さぁ　始めようか　天体観測　ほうき星を探して

Now, shall we begin? Stargazing, searching for a shooting star.

今まで見つけたモノは　全部覚えている

I remember everything I’ve found so far.

君の震える手を　握れなかった痛みも

The pain of not being able to hold your trembling hand.

知らないモノを知ろうとして　望遠鏡を覗き込んだ

Trying to learn what I don’t know, I looked into the telescope again.

暗闇を照らす様な　微かな光　探したよ

Searching for faint light that would illuminate the darkness.

そうして知った痛みを　未だに僕は覚えている

And I still remember the pain I came to know then.

「イマ」という　ほうき星　今も一人追いかけている

That shooting star called ‘Now,’ I’m still chasing it alone.

背が伸びるにつれて　伝えたい事も増えてった

As I grow taller, the things I want to tell also increase.

宛名の無い手紙も　崩れる程　重なった

Unsent letters piled up so much they almost fell apart.

僕は元気でいるよ　心配事も少ないよ

I'm doing well, with few worries.

ただひとつ　今も思い出すよ

But one thing I still remember.

予報外れの雨に打たれて　泣きだしそうな

Getting soaked by the unexpected rain, I felt like crying.

君の震える手を　握れなかった　あの日を

That day, I couldn’t hold your trembling hand.

見えてるモノを見落として　望遠鏡をまた担いで

Overlooking what I could see, I carried my telescope again.

静寂と暗闇の帰り道を　駆け抜けた

Running through the path back home through silence and darkness.

そうして知った痛みが　未だに僕を支えている

The pain I learned then still supports me now.

「イマ」という　ほうき星　今も一人追いかけている

That shooting star called ‘Now,’ I’m still chasing it alone.

もう一度君に会おうとして　望遠鏡をまた担いで

Trying to meet you again, I carried my telescope once more.

前と同じ　午前二時　フミキリまで駆けてくよ

Back to the same 2 a.m., I’ll run to Fujimiki again.

始めようか　天体観測　二分後に君が来なくとも

Shall we start? Stargazing, even if you don’t come in two minutes.

「イマ」という　ほうき星

That shooting star called ‘Now.’

君と二人追いかけている

The one I chase with you, just the two of us.
