天体観測

• 歌手: BUMP OF CHICKEN

歌詞:

[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 Fumikiri.

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.

二分後に君が来た　大袈裟な荷物しょって来た

You came two minutes later, carrying a bulky 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, giving it our all.

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

Peering into the telescope, trying to see the unseen.

静寂を切り裂いて　いくつも声が生まれたよ

Voices were born, piercing 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 though tomorrow called us, we barely responded.

「イマ」という　ほうき星　君と二人追いかけていた

Chasing the 'Now', that shooting star, 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 endlessly searching for something.

幸せの定義とか　哀しみの置き場とか

The definition of happiness, or where sadness belongs.

生まれたら死ぬまで　ずっと探している

I've been searching for them since I was born, until I die.

さぁ　始めようか　天体観測　ほうき星を探して

So, 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 understand the unknown, peering into the telescope.

暗闇を照らす様な　微かな光　探したよ

Looking for a 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.

「イマ」という　ほうき星　今も一人追いかけている

Chasing that 'Now', that shooting star, alone even now.

背が伸びるにつれて　伝えたい事も増えてった

As I grew taller, the things I want to tell increased.

宛名の無い手紙も　崩れる程　重なった

Unsent letters piled up, so heavy they almost fall 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 there's one thing I still remember.

予報外れの雨に打たれて　泣きだしそうな

Being struck by unexpected rain, almost crying.

君の震える手を　握れなかった　あの日を

The 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

Missing what I see, again carrying the telescope.

静寂と暗闇の帰り道を　駆け抜けた

Running through the path back from silence and darkness.

そうして知った痛みが　未だに僕を支えている

That pain I came to understand still supports me.

「イマ」という　ほうき星　今も一人追いかけている

Chasing that 'Now', that shooting star, alone even now.

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 carry my telescope once more.

前と同じ　午前二時　フミキリまで駆けてくよ

At the same 2 a.m., running to Fumikiri just like before.

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

Just you and I, chasing it together.
