月を見ていた

• 歌手: 米津玄師, Kenshi Yonezu

歌詞:

[日本語]

[English]

月明かり柳が揺れる

The moonlight makes the willow trees sway

わたしは路傍の礫

I'm just a pebble by the roadside

思い馳せるあなたの姿

Thinking of your face

羊を数えるように

Like counting sheep

別れゆく意味があるなら

If there's a meaning to parting ways

せめて悲しまないで

At least, don't be sad

沈黙から離れた空へ

Towards the sky away from silence

一筋の愛を込めて

With a single thread of love

どんな夜だって

No matter what kind of night it is

失い続けたって

Even if I keep losing things

共に生きてきたろう

We’ve been living together, right?

瞬くように

Like a flicker

何かを求めて月を見ていた

Looking at the moon, seeking something

嵐に怯えるわたしの前に

In front of me, scared by the storm

現れたのがあなたでよかった

I'm glad it was you who appeared

まるで何もかもがなかったかのように

As if nothing ever happened

この火は消えたりしない

This fire won't go out

きっと

Surely

その窓を風が叩けば

If the wind knocks on that window

僅かに開け放して

Just slightly open it

ただひとつ　そうただひとつ

Just one thing, yes, just one thing

語り得ぬ声で叫ぶ

Shouting with an unspoken voice

生まれ変わったとして

Even if I were to be reborn

思い出せなくたって

Even if I can't remember

見つけてみせるだろう　あなたの姿

I'll find you, your face

全てを燃やして月を見ていた

Burning everything, I was looking at the moon

誰かがそれを憐れむとしても

Even if someone pities that

あなたがいれば幸せだったんだ

Having you was enough to make me happy

およそ正しくなどなかったとしても

Even if everything was pretty much wrong

消えたりしない

It won't disappear

名前を呼んで　もう一度だけ

Call my name, just one more time

優しく包むその柔い声で

With that gentle, warm voice that embraces me

月を頼りに掴んだ枝が

The branch I grasped relying on the moon

あなただった

Was you

...

...

何かを求めて月を見ていた

Looking at the moon, seeking something

嵐に怯えるわたしの前に

In front of me, scared by the storm

現れたのがあなたでよかった

I'm glad it was you who appeared

まるで何もかもがなかったかのように

As if nothing ever happened

この火は消えたりしない

This fire won't go out

きっと

Surely
