チェックメイト ♥ Chekkumeito ♥ Checkmate

いつか僕らが見ていた　いつかが

itsuka bokura ga mite ita itsuka ga

The "sometime" we once gazed upon

溜め息ひとつで　目まぐるしく過ぎる

tameiki hitotsu de memagurushiku sugiru

passes turbulently with a single sigh.

夢みる事を気が付けば忘れて

yumemiru koto o ki ga tsukeba wasurete

When I take notice, I realize I've forgotten my dreams.

本当の自分も何処かに置いてきた

hontō no jibun mo dokoka ni oite kita

Even my true self I left behind somewhere.

ふと向かい風に吹かれ

futo mukaikaze ni fukare

Blown by an unexpected headwind,

立ち止まって空を見上げてみた

tachidomatte sora o miagete mita

I stopped in my tracks and looked up at the sky.

見慣れた街並みは変わったけれども

minareta machinami wa kawatta keredomo

The look of the town has changed from what I was used to,

浮かぶ星と僕だけがあの日のままだ

ukabu hoshi to boku dake ga ano hi no mama da

but only the stars above and I are the same as before.

揺れるバスの匂い　ちっぽけな幸せと

yureru basu no nioi chippoke na shiawase to

The smell of a swaying bus, life's little happinesses,

すれ違いだらけの些細な毎日と

surechigai darake no sasai na mainichi to

trifling everyday life filled with missed opportunities,

木漏れ日をすり抜けて　未来を追い越して

komorebi o surinukete mirai o oikoshite

making it through the dappled shade, overtaking the future,

まだ自分きみを探してる

mada kimi o sagashite'ru

I'm still searching for you.

天使に恋をして　愛する事を覚え

tenshi ni koi o shite aisuru koto o oboe

I fell in love with an angel, learned to love,

さよならの意味を知って

sayonara no imi o shitte

discovered the meaning of goodbye,

あやまちを繰り返して

ayamachi o kurikaeshite

repeated the same mistakes …

つまらないと嘆いてた　

tsumaranai to nageite'ta

A board free of obstacles in every direction

八方無碍はっぽうむげな盤上は

happō muge na banjō wa

that I complained was boring

もう二度と戻らない

mō nidoto modoranai

will never come back again.

濡れる蓮の香り　運命と居合わせた

nureru hasu no kaori unmei to iawaseta

The scent of a lotus flower getting wet was there with fate

すれ違いだらけの逃げ場のない　この世界で

surechigai darake no nigeba no nai kono sekai de

in this world without escape, filled with missed opportunities.

定石を塗り変えて　未来も追い越して

jōseki o nurikaete mirai mo oikoshite

Repainting the set moves of the game, overtaking the very future,

また自分きみを探してく

mata kimi o sagashite'ku

I go searching for you again.
