0:00’s Ray Japanese Lyrics English Translation
The lyrics describe a love that feels both familiar and new. A key line, ‘Your voice is still piercing through my heart, like a sliver of light,’ captures the mix of warmth and pain in this emotional journey. The poet uses images of light and shadows to show how love can be both comforting and challenging.
Minareta iro no sora ni sashikomu kimi no hikariYour light breaks through the sky’s familiar colors
Fui ni warau yokogao ni kakusenakatta omoiI couldn’t hide my feelings as you smiled so suddenly
Kokoro ga yureru tabi niEvery time my heart begins to waver,
Kotoba ni naranai kimochi ni kizuite ita noI’ve realized these feelings just can’t be put into words
Mabushikute me o sorashite itaIt was so bright that I kept turning my eyes away
Namae sae shiranakatta no niEven though I didn’t even know your name yet,
Haruka mukashi kara kimi o shitte iru mitai zutto sagashite itait feels like I’ve known you forever, like I’ve been searching for you all along
Ray kimi no koe ga mada mune ni sasatteruRay, your voice is still piercing through my heart
Hikari no sen mitai ni yasashikute itaiLike a sliver of light, it’s both tender and agonizing
Aenai jikan ga ai o sodateru naraIf the time we’re apart is what makes this love grow,
Osanai mama de iithen I’m fine with staying naive,
Tada ima aitaiI just want to see you right now
Nayanda hibi no rojiura deIn the back alleys of those troubled days,
Mimi o fusaide dareka o mattetaI covered my ears and waited for someone to find me
Kono sekai wa amari ni mo tsumetakuteThis world was just way too cold to bear,
Kimi no uta ga rou o tokasu you ni hodoite ikubut your song unravels me, melting the ‘wax’ around my heart
Tsuyoku negaeba negau hodoThe more intensely that I wish for it,
Doushite kyori wa hanarete shimau nowhy does the distance between us only seem to grow?
Shukumei nante shinjitakunai yoI don’t want to believe in something like ‘fate’,
Michiru mirai no fukusen naraif this is just ‘foreshadowing’ for a future where we’re whole
Zenbu kowarete mo kamawanai kara mou sukoshi dakeI don’t care if everything breaks, just give me a little more time
Ray kimi no kage o mata sagashite shimau n daRay, I find myself searching for your shadow once again
Yume no mukougawa de aeru ki ga shiteI feel like I might meet you on the other side of a dream,
Hikari o tadotta sono saki ni kimi ga ita kotoknowing you were there at the end of the light I followed
Zutto wasurenai yoI’ll never forget it
Ray kimi no koe ga mada mune ni sasatteruRay, your voice is still piercing through my heart
Hikari no sen mitai ni yasashikute itaiLike a sliver of light, it’s both tender and agonizing
Aenai jikan ga ai o sodateru naraIf the time we’re apart is what makes this love grow,
Osanai mama de iithen I’m fine with staying naive,
The meaning behind ‘Ray’ is a deep longing for connection, even when love seems out of reach. The track from yoyo’s album ‘0:00’ is a touching tribute to the power of love and hope.
