Azayaka ni irozuita machinami o koeCrossing the vibrantly colored townscape,
Kimi ga mada nemuru heya e kaze wa fukiwataru no sathe wind blows through to the room where you still sleep.
Nigedasu koto o wasureta gokurakuchou gaA bird of paradise that forgot how to run away,
Tsumetai mizu no naka oyoide iru n dais swimming in the freezing water.
Toki wa sugiru itami o tsurete moEven if time passes and brings pain,
Mune wa sawagumy heart still flutters.
Terasu hizashi ni kasanaru ai no kageThe shadow of love overlaps in the shining sunlight,
Mitsumeru dake de chikazukesou na noniand it feels like I can get closer just by gazing at it.
Motsureai tobisatta kokoro no dokokaSomewhere in my heart that tangled and flew away,
Ima mo mada kurikaesu yo atarashii utagoe deit still echoes even now in a new singing voice.
Kawashita kotoba yori mo motto fukaku niDeeper than the words we’ve exchanged,
Kagayaku tada hitotsubu ga omoi o utsushitea single shining drop reflects my feelings.
Kimi ni aeru namae no nai yoru oWhenever I light up the nameless night
Tomosu tabi niwhere I can finally see you.
Hoshi no shijima ni uranau yoi no hateAt the end of the evening, divining in the stars’ silence,
Hanarete ite mo kikoeru you da ne tosaying it feels like we can hear each other even when we’re apart.
Yagate furisosogu ame wa odayaka niThe gently falling rain will eventually whisper,
Itsumo kimi no yorokobi o inotte iru yo tte“I’m always praying for your happiness.”
Hoo yoseru nando moI press my cheek against it, over and over again.
Terasu hizashi ni kasanaru ai no kageThe shadow of love overlaps in the shining sunlight,
Mitsumeru dake de chikazukesou na noniand it feels like I can get closer just by gazing at it.
Hoshi no shijima ni uranau yoi no hateAt the end of the evening, divining in the stars’ silence,
Kazoekirenai mabataki no naka deamidst the countless twinkling lights.
