歌詞:

[日本語]

[English]

頬色に茜さす日は柔らかに 爆ぜた斜陽に僕らは目も開かぬ

On days when the cheeks are tinted with crimson, softly - we couldn't even open our eyes to the bursting sunset

まま

Just like that

悲しくってしようがないんだ お日様で手が濡れた

It's so sad that I can't help it - my hands got wet from the sunlight

眩しくって仕方がないし 途方に暮れた帰り

It's so dazzling that I can't stand it - lost on the way back

落ちて行くように茜が差したから

Because the crimson light seemed to fall

もう少しで 僕は僕を一つは愛せたのに

Just a little more - I could have loved myself a bit

斜陽に気付けば目も開かぬまま 静かな夕凪の中

Noticing the sunset, we couldn't open our eyes - in the quiet evening calm

悲しくってしようがないんだ お日様に手が触れた

It's so sad that I can't help it - my hands touched the sunlight

とろとろと燃えるみたいに 指先ばかり焦げた

Like it's burning slowly - only my fingertips got scorched

高く成った葡萄みたいだ 届かないからやめて

It feels like high-hanging grapes - stop because I can't reach them

僕は恋をしたんだろうか あのお日様のように

Did I fall in love? - just like that sunlight

落ちていくのに理由もないのなら もう

If there's no reason for it to fall - then already

頬色に茜さす日は柔らかに 爆ぜた斜陽も僕らの道をただ照らす

On days when the cheeks are tinted with crimson, softly - even the bursting sunset just lights our path

のなら

If that's the case

もう少しで僕は僕を一つは愛せる のに

Just a little more, I could love myself a bit - but

斜陽にはにかむ貴方が見えた 静かな夕凪の中

I saw you shyly smiling at the sunset - in the quiet evening calm

僕らは目も開かぬまま

We couldn't even open our eyes
