Not swayed even after the dignified flower bloomed,

Today comes, stealing away even my feeling of unease

Alone in the schoolyard in the afternoon, I’m a transparent person

I’m singing, wanting someone to notice me

You were so dignified, painted indelibly in a color for which “yearning” is not a strong enough word

If I can’t see any of the words I want to say, they’re transparent

I was singing to bury my loneliness

Whose voice was it that began to make noise?

Even people’s voices are like background music to me

I sing the song you sang that day

Somewhere inside my body

Someone is crying out

I want to cross to the other side of the long night

With my heart still intact

So pierce my whole, whole, whole self through

Your dignified heart was transparent every day

I couldn’t see any color or shape to it

I feel like I’m going mad; if I can’t see any love songs or world peace, they’re transparent

They might as well not exist at all

Amid the noise of the crowd in front of the train station, I cried out

This song is my only means of making myself seen

I sing the dream I forgot that day

Somewhere inside my head, I knew

That my eyes couldn’t see the other side of the long night

So weed your whole, whole, whole self out

I can’t see it

It was my imagination

Your color, your shape

I can’t be seen; you could say I’m semi-transparent

Even now, my heart remembers that day

Just by that song that you were singing, unseen

Somewhere inside my body, words are crying out

I want to cross to the other side of the distant night with my heart still intact

So pierce my whole, whole, whole self through

凛として花は咲いた後でさえも揺るがなくて

今日が来る不安感も奪い取って行く

正午過ぎの校庭で一人の僕は透明人間

誰かに気付いてほしくて歌っている

凛とした君は憧れなんて言葉じゃ足りないようなそんな色が強く付いていて

どんな伝えたい言葉も目に見えないなら透明なんだ

寂しさを埋めるように歌っていた

誰の声だと騒めきだした

人の声すらバックミュージックのようだ

あの日君が歌った歌を歌う

体の何処かで

誰かが叫んでるんだ

長い夜の向こう側で

この心ごと渡したいから

僕を全部、全部、全部透過して

凛として君の心象はいつの日も透明だった

何の色も形も見えない

狂いそうだ 愛の歌も世界平和も目に見えないなら透明なんだ

そんなものはないのと同じだ

駅前の喧騒の中を叫んだ

歌だけがきっとまだ僕を映す手段だ

あの日僕が忘れた夢を歌う

頭のどこかで本当はわかっていたんだ

長い夜の向こう側をこの僕の眼は映さないから

君を全部、全部、全部淘汰して

目が見えないんだ

想像だったんだ

君の色だとか 形だとか

目に見えぬ僕は謂わば準透明だ

今でもあの日を心が覚えているんだ

見えない君の歌だけで

体の何処かで言葉が叫んでるんだ

遠い夜の向こう側でこの心ごと渡したいから

僕を全部、全部、全部透過して
