Nacht Lyrics Meaning Indigo La End | MOLTING AND DANCING
川谷絵音 maps regret with a cold premonition at his soles. The lyricist translates a key line: “The spring breeze I felt that day still blows in my heart.” He pins pain to physical cracks and drifting words.
Ano hi kanjita harukaze waThe spring breeze I felt that day,
Ima mo kokoro ni fuiteiruis still blowing in my heart.
Anata wa chigau yoru o ikiteYou’re living through a different night,
Onaji kisetsu ni iruyet we’re in the same season.
Tsumetai yokan wa kutsuzoko niA cold premonition at the soles of my shoes,
Anata o tsukihanashitapushed you away.
Modorenai karaSince I can’t go back,
Modoranai karasince I won’t go back,
Subete ga ososugitaeverything was just too late.
Souzou ijou no yoru ni naruThe night’s becoming worse than I imagined,
Anata ga inai dake de sajust because you’re not here.
Mou ichido omoeru naraEven if I could feel that way once more,
Mata anata no tonari ga ii nante ienaiI can’t say I’d want to be by your side again.
Nahato ima dake wa shizuka ni shinaide yo‘Nacht’ ‘German for night’, don’t be silent just for now,
Tsuyogari ga kikoenai you niso no one can hear my facade of strength.
Omotte mo inai koto bakariOnly things I didn’t even mean,
Monogoto no aida ni ochite ikufall between the cracks of reality.
Ima made arigatou“Thank you for everything.”
Saigo ni uite shimatta kotobaThose words just drifted away at the end.
Saekiru shin yoO, world that cuts me off,

Shizunde mienaku natte kureSink down and disappear from my sight.
WakatteruI know.
Ososugitan daIt was far too late.
Souzou ijou no yoru ni naruThe night’s becoming worse than I imagined,
Anata ga inai dake de sajust because you’re not here.
Mou ichido omoeru naraEven if I could feel that way once more,
Mata anata no tonari ga ii nante iwanaiI won’t say I’d want to be by your side again.

Sore dake no koto de kako toand with just that, I’ve ended up living,
Ikite shimattanda nein the past, haven’t I?
