この世の片隅で　膝を抱えている

あやかしの閃 (ひか) りは　何を求めてる？

姿 (からだ) を隠しては　形ない声が舞う

ひとひらの言の葉　道なき道を示せ

壊れてしまいそうな　いのち　震えて

叩いた　扉の音を　覚えてる

いつか　別れゆく定めでも

心のひだをなぞって　そっと

痛みの行方も　願いも

見届けよう　すぐ傍で

この別れ　越えゆけば

「幸せ」の意味　わかる気がした

微笑み　思い出せるように

送るから

Kono yo no katasumi de hiza o kakaeteiru

Ayakashi no hikari wa nani o motometeru?

Karada o kakushite wa katachi nai koe ga mau

Hitohira no kotonoha michi naki michi o shimese

Kowareteshimaisou na inochi furuete

Tataita tobira no oto o oboeteru

Itsuka wakareyuku sadame demo

Kokoro no hida o nazotte sotto

Itami no yukue mo negai mo

Mitodokeyou sugu soba de

Kono wakare koeyukeba

“Shiawase” no imi wakaru ki ga shita

Hohoemi omoidaseru you ni

Okuru kara

I’m clutching my knees, in the corner of this world…

Just what is that mysterious light searching for all this time?

As soon as it hides its body, its formless voice begins to dance;

A single breadth of phrase shows me a path unmarked.

Life on the verge of destruction trembled,

Making a noise as it rapped upon that door – I still remember it.

Even if we’re eventually fated to part,

Let us gently trace the folds of our hearts.

Let us see where this pain… these desires,

Are headed… standing side by side.

If we can make it past this parting,

I feel like I’ll learn the true meaning of Happiness;

Once I remember how to smile,

I’ll send that message to you!

見届けよう

力は弱くとも　つよき意思を秘めた

その瞳の奥に　確かに映すもの

痛いくらい真っ直ぐで　不器用な足どりは

どこへ導くのか　確信はないけど

壊れてしまいそうな　いのちが呼べば

叩いた扉　必ず　開くから

いつか　別れゆくその時に

何思うのか　何感じるのか

迷いに　標 (しるべ) をかざして

ただ歩もう　共にゆこう

この別れ　越えゆけば

「幸せ」の意味　わかる気がした

微笑み　思い出せるように

送るから

この両手に　為せることあるなら

扉のむこうへ

いざなおう

遠くへ

近くへ

いつか　別れゆく定めでも

心のひだをなぞって　そっと

痛みの行方も　願いも

見届けよう　すぐ傍で

この別れ　越えゆけば

I’m clutching my knees, in the corner of this world…

Just what is that mysterious light searching for all this time?

As soon as it hides its body, its formless voice begins to dance;

A single breadth of phrase shows me a path unmarked.

Life on the verge of destruction trembled,

Making a noise as it rapped upon that door – I still remember it.

Even if we’re eventually fated to part,

Let us gently trace the folds of our hearts.

Let us see where this pain… these desires…

Are headed.

The things reflected in the depths of your eyes

Carry a strong will, even if they lack power.

I wonder where those painfully straigtforward, clumsy steps

Will lead me to – I’m still so uncertain.

When that life, on the verge of destruction, calls out…

… the door you knocked upon will surely open!

When the time comes for us to finally part,

What will we think… what will we feel…?

Placing signs along the way each time we get lost,

Let us walk on – let us go together!

If we can make it past this parting,

I feel like I’ll learn the true meaning of Happiness;

Once I remember how to smile,

I’ll send that message to you!

If I’m capable with these two hands,

I’ll beckon you,

Beyond that door,

Taking us farther…

Bringing us closer…

Even if we’re eventually fated to part,

Let us gently trace the folds of our hearts.

Let us see where this pain… these desires,

Are headed… standing side by side.

If we can make it past this parting,

I feel like I’ll learn the true meaning of Happiness;

Once I remember how to smile,

I’ll send that message to you!
