Confession

泡らしく脆弱な愛しさを

awa rashiku zeijaku na itoshisa o

After hoping to protect this affection,

守り抜くようにと希望したあげく

mamorinuku yō ni to kibō shita ageku

fragile as a bubble, to the very end …

密閉した箱らしい部屋の

mippei shita hako rashii heya no

while what's left of us

隅に在る僕たちのカケラ

sumi ni aru bokutachi no kakera

in a corner of this sealed, box-like room

残されたまま

nokosareta mama

left behind there …

雨音に邪魔された夜

amaoto ni jama sareta yoru

On a night disturbed by the sound of rain,

うっかり紛失した合図

ukkari funshitsu shita aizu

a sign we failed to notice,

抱きしめてほしいのに

dakishimete hoshii no ni

though I wanted you to hold me tight …

鳴り渡る鐘

nariwataru kane

Resounding bells

規則なペースを乱す

kisoku na pēsu o midasu

disturbs the set pace of our dance.

雨水に濡れた

amamizu ni nureta

A corridor, wet with rainwater

足跡まみれの廊下

ashiato-mamire no rōka

and covered with footprints,

直覚の行き場へ

chokkaku no ikiba e

leads to where intuition tells us to go.

繰り返し　越えれない時間

kurikaeshi koerenai jikan

An unrelenting cycle of time,

初対面のいつかに戻れる

shotaimen no itsuka ni modoreru

with no way to go back

術すべのないまま

sube no nai mama

to when we first met …

暗がりに迫る灯火

kuragari ni semaru tomoshibi

A light approaching in the darkness

名もない蝶と舞い上がって

na mo nai chō to maiagatte

dances in the air with an unknown butterfly

共に灰燼と化してく

tomoni kaijin to kashite'ku

and together turn into ashes.

♫

♫

♫

燃え切った蝋

moekitta rō

A nearly spent candle,

垂れた最後の一滴

tareta saigo no itteki

its final droplet dripping …

冷ややかな光

hiyayaka na hikari

A frigid light—

無視しながら振り向いちゃ

mushi shinagara furimuicha

if you ignore it and look back,

境ない闇へ

sakai nai yami e

only boundless darkness …

鳴り渡る鐘

nariwataru kane

Resounding bells

規則なペースを乱す

kisoku na pēsu o midasu

disturbs the set pace of our dance.

雨水に濡れた

amamizu ni nureta

A corridor, wet with rainwater

足跡まみれの廊下

ashiato-mamire no rōka

and covered with footprints,

直覚の行き場へ

chokkaku no ikiba e

leads to where intuition tells us to go.

痛いのに

itai no ni

Though it hurts …

怖いのに

kowai no ni

Though I'm scared …

夜空に祈り

yozora ni inori

I pray to the night sky

灯りに願い

akari ni negai

I make a wish to the light

辿り着く答えを

tadoritsuku kotae o

concealing the answer towards which we strive

今のための懺悔に秘めて

ima no tame no sange ni himete

in this moment's confession …
