Closed Blue

♫

濡れた頬が　乾いたような

nureta hoho ga kawaita yō na

After the rain, beneath the sky

雨上がり　空の下

ameagari sora no shita

that's like wet cheeks that have dried,

誰も知らない　場所で静かに

dare mo shiranai basho de shizuka ni

a single flower blooms

一輪の花が咲く

ichirin no hana ga saku

quietly somewhere where no one knows

青く澄んだ空の向こうへ

aoku sunda sora no mukō e

Does my voice right now reach

今　僕の声は届いていますか

ima boku no koe wa todoite imasu ka

beyond the clear blue sky?

掠れるような心の声で　叫んでいるよ

kasureru yō na kokoro no koe de sakende iru yo

I'm screaming myself hoarse with the voice in my heart

晴れわたる今日の空に　何が待っているだろう

harewataru kyō no sora ni nani ga matte iru darō

What might await me in today's clear sky?

手を伸ばしてみるけど

te o nobashite miru kedo

I try reaching out my hand

形のない白い雲が　僕を嘲うように

katachi no nai shiroi kumo ga boku o azawarau yō ni

but formless white clouds, as if mocking me,

遠ざかって行く

tōzakatte yuku

drift further away

♫

閉じた瞼に　映る紫

tojita mabuta ni utsuru murasaki

The purple displayed behind closed eyelids

儚げに　揺れる花

hakanage ni yureru hana

is an ephemeral swaying flower

何も知らずに　何も言わずに

nani mo shirazu ni nani mo iwazu ni

Knowing nothing, saying nothing,

ただそこで　咲き続ける

tada soko de sakitsuzukeru

it simply continues to bloom

もしもいつか　枯れてしまって

moshimo itsuka karete shimatte

Suppose I was to wilt someday

僕の身体が　崩れ落ちたら

boku no karada ga kuzureochitara

and my body fall apart

そよ風よどうか　空の向こうへ　届けて欲しい

soyokaze yo dōka sora no mukō e todokete hoshii

Then, O breeze, I'd like you to carry me beyond the sky

晴れわたる今日の空も　きっと泣いているだろう

harewataru kyō no sora mo kitto naite iru darō

I bet today's clear sky is crying too

僕の知らない場所で

boku no shiranai basho de

somewhere unknown to me

眩しくて　目を細めた　飛行機雲がひとつ

mabushikute me o hosometa hikōkigumo ga hitotsu

Squinting at the dazzling sky, a single plane's trail

流れて　消えてく

nagarete kiete'ku

drifts and fades away
