ロスタルジー (Lostalgie)

==Lyrics==
Japanese 	Romaji 	English
斜陽を背に影法師 	shayou o se ni kageboushi 	Your back, turned against the setting sun, formed a silhouette.
伸び止まぬ様に気を取られ 	nobiyamanu sama ni ki o torare 	Preoccupied as I was with the way it extended forever,
躓いて着いた手を 	tsumazuite tsuita te o 	I stumbled and landed on my hands, which get burned
地面が呑んだ陽気が焼く 	jimen ga nonda youki ga yaku 	By the heat the ground has swallowed up.
 	 	
銀輪で転けた舗道 	ginrin de koketa hodou 	The paved road where I fell over on my bike
模型を馳せた 	mokei o haseta konkuriito 	And the concrete sidewalks where I raced model cars
手を伝い 熱を食んだ 	te o tsutai netsu o handa 	Scraped up my hands and grazed on my warmth.
記憶が目下、景色を這って往く 	kioku ga mokka, keshiki o hatte iku 	My memories are crawling through that landscape right now.
 	 	
橙に成った街に昔を見た 	daidai ni natta machi ni mukashi o mita 	And I saw what happened long ago in this orange-hued town.
夕焼けの滲む空 何時迄も 	yuuyake no nijimu sora itsu made mo 	I think I thought that I wanted to remain gazing forever
眺めていたい、と思っていたんだっけ。 	nagamete itai, to omotte ita nda kke. 	At the sky where the red sunset blurred like blood.
 	 	
胸に残れば何時の日も思い出に変わるなら 	mune ni nokoreba itsu no hi mo omoide ni kawaru nara 	If all my days will change into memories when they remain in my heart,
彼の日の熱情も思い出したいの 	ano hi no netsujou mo omoidashitai no 	I want to remember even the feverish passion of that day!
――ねえ 	――nee 	――Listen,
は軈て薄らいで悦びも弾くから 	kioku wa yagate usuraide yorokobi mo hajiku kara 	Because impressions fade in the end and flick their joy away too,
忘れない様に 日常の奥に 	wasurenai you ni nichijou no oku ni 	I’d like to light a candle the color of the past
灯して居たいんだ 	tomoshite itai nda 	In the depths of this everyday
過去の色 	kako no iro 	So I don’t forget.
 	 	
嗟傷の根に罰文字 	sashou no ne ni batsumonji 	“PUNISHMENT” is scrawled at the root of my anguish;
襲い来る様に降った星霜 	osoi kuru you ni futta seisou 	Frost has fallen like an attack and melted and fallen again many times.
泥濘で漉いた手は 	nukarumi de suita te wa 	My hands that dripped pulpily from the quagmire
地面が呑んだ水気を知る 	jimen ga nonda suiki o shiru 	Recognize the moisture the ground has swallowed up.
 	 	
深淵に焼べた抒情 	shin'en ni kubeta jojou 	I threw lyricism on the fire, one more for the abyss.
顧眄を重ねて耄け乾る脳 	koben o kasanete houke hiru nou 	Repeatedly looking back on my past and going senile, my brain shrivels up.
目を奪い 熱を吐いた 	me o ubai netsu o haita 	It robbed me of my sight and left me shivering.
記憶が屋下、臆を架している 	kioku ga okka, oku o kashite iru 	My memories are spanning the cowardice under this roof.
 	 	
さめ〴〵と泣いた日々は昔の偽花 	samezame to naita hibi wa mukashi no gika 	The days where I cried bitterly are the of old.
夕映えに飾られて 何時迄も 	yuubae ni kazararete itsu made mo 	I was just convinced that I’d have liked to have sustenance,
焼き付いて離れない筈の景色に縋り付いて迄 	yakitsuite hanarenai hazu no keshiki ni sugaritsuite made 	Going so far as to cling to the scenery I never should’ve drifted away from,
糧にしている、って思い込んだだけ。 	kate ni shite iru, tte omoikonda dake. 	Forever adorned with the glow of the sunset and etched into my mind.
 	 	
胸に遺れば何時の日も思い出に変わるなら 	mune ni nokoreba itsu no hi mo omoide ni kawaru nara 	If all my days will change into memories when they remain in my heart,
彼の日の慟哭も後悔も刻み込んだ儘で良いのに、如何して？ 	ano hi no doukoku mo koukai mo kizamikonda mama de ii no ni, doushite?	Even though I should be fine with that day’s lamentation and regret carved into me, why is that?
――ねえ 	――nee 	――Listen,
は軈て和らいで悼みごと亡くすかな 	kioku wa yagate yawaraide itamigoto nakusu kana 	I wonder if my scarlike memories will fade in the end and I’ll lose this grief like I lost you?
忘れない様に 日常の奥に 	wasurenai you ni nichijou no oku ni 	I’d like to light a candle in your color
灯して居たいんだ 	tomoshite itai nda 	In the depths of this everyday
あなたの色 	anata no iro 	So I don’t forget.
 	 	
目も当てられない過去に紛れ 	me mo aterarenai kako ni magire 	Lost in a past too terrible to look at,
大切な過去までぼやけていく 	taisetsu na kako made boyakete iku 	Even my precious past becomes dimmer and dimmer.
消えて行かないで 	kiete ikanaide 	Don’t go disappearing on me.
如何か側に居て 	douka soba ni ite 	Stay by my side somehow.
此の目を照らして 	kono me o terashite 	Light up my eyes.
 	 	
ねえ、胸に残れば何時の日も思い出に変わるなら 	nee, mune ni nokoreba itsu no hi mo omoide ni kawaru nara 	Hey, if all my days will change into memories when they remain in my heart,
彼の日の熱情も思い出したいの―― 	ano hi no netsujou mo omoidashitai no―― 	I want to remember even the feverish passion of that day――
 	 	
ねえ、胸に遺れば何時の日も思い出に変わるなら 	nee, mune ni nokoreba itsu no hi mo omoide ni kawaru nara 	Hey, if all my days will change into memories when they remain in my heart,
彼の日の退屈も憧憬も残り無く目を彩る、然うでしょう？ 	ano hi no taikutsu mo shoukei mo nokorinaku me o irodoru, sou deshou? 	My boredom and my longing from that day too will color my eyes completely, won't they?
――ねえ 	――nee 	――Listen,
希望や嘗て見た灯々を目に熾す為の唄 	kibou ya katsute mita hibi o me ni okosu tame no uta 	This is a song to rekindle for my eyes my hope and the lights I once saw.灯々 sounds like 日々, "days."
離さない様に 日常の奥に 	hanasanai you ni nichijou no oku ni 	I’d like to play a nostalgic tune
奏でて居たいんだ 	kanadete itai nda 	In the depths of this everyday
郷愁を 	kyoushuu o 	So they won’t part us.
 	 	
褪せはしないよ 	ase wa shinai yo 	These hues will never be lost;
時を経ても 	toki o hete mo 	No matter how much time passes,
鮮やいでる 	azayaideru 	They’ll be as brilliant as ever.
きおくの音 	kioku no oto 	The sounds of my memories
いのちの色 	inochi no iro 	Are the colors of my life.
 	 	
斜陽を背に影法師 	shayou o se ni kageboushi 	Your back, turned against the setting sun, formed a silhouette...
