歌词:

[日本語]

[English]

貴方はどうして僕に心をくれたんでしょう

Why did you give your heart to me?

貴方はどうして僕に目を描いたんだ

Why did you draw your eyes for me?

空より大きく 雲を流す風を呑み込んで

Swallowing winds that are bigger than the sky, clouds drifting by

僕のまなこはまた夢を見ていた

My eyes are dreaming again

裸足のままで

While barefoot

貴方はゆっくりと変わっていく とても小さく

You slowly change, so very small

少しずつ膨らむパンを眺めるように

Like watching a bread that’s slowly swelling

貴方はゆっくりと走っていく

You gradually start running

長い迷路の先も恐れないままで

Ahead of long labyrinths, unaffected by fear

貴方はどうして僕に名前をくれたんでしょう

Why did you give me your name?

貴方はどうして僕に手を作ったんだ

Why did you create hands for me?

海より大きく 砂を流す波も呑み込んで

Swallowing waves larger than the sea, with sands flowing by

小さな両手はまだ遠くを見てた

Your small hands still looked far away

あくびを一つ

Let out a yawn

僕らはゆっくりと眠っていく

We slowly fall asleep

とても長く 頭の真ん中に育っていく大きな木の

A very long tree growing right in the middle of our minds

根本をゆっくりと歩いていく

Walking slowly at the roots

長い迷路の先を恐れないように

As if not fearing the long maze ahead

いつかとても追いつけない人に出会うのだろうか

Will we someday meet someone we can never catch up to?

いつかとても越えられない壁に竦むのだろうか

Will we someday be frozen before an unbreakable wall?

いつか貴方もそれを諦めてしまうのだろうか

Will you someday give up on that too?

ゆっくりと変わっていく

Slowly changing

ゆっくりと変わっていく

Slowly changing

ゆっくりと変わっていく

Slowly changing

僕らはゆっくりと忘れていく とても小さく

We are slowly forgetting, so very small

少しずつ崩れる塔を眺めるように

Like watching a tower that gradually crumbles

僕らはゆっくりと眠っていく

We are slowly falling asleep

ゆっくりと眠っていく

Falling asleep slowly

貴方はゆっくりと変わっていく とても小さく

You are slowly changing, so very small

あの木の真ん中に育っていく木陰のように

Like that shade of a tree growing in the middle of it

貴方はゆっくりと走っていく

You slowly start running

長い迷路の先も恐れないままで

Unfazed by the long labyrinth ahead

確かに迷いながら

Certainly, while hesitating
