...sand.

何度見つめ直しても

nando mitsumenaoshite mo

However many times I gaze at you

君程心が高鳴る人いないよ

kimi hodo kokoro ga takanaru hito inai yo

no one gets my heart beating like you

過ぎ去った月日の中

sugisatta tsukihi no naka

Explain to me what I've lost and what I've gained

失くしたものと得たもの　教えてよ

nakushita mono to eta mono oshiete yo

in the passage of time

すくいあげた、すり抜ける砂、見てるだけで

sukuiageta, surinukeru suna, mite'ru dake de

By looking at the sand I scooped up slip through my fingers

一つ一つ拾うことも、何も、できなかった

hitotsuhitotsu hirou koto mo, nani mo, dekinakatta

I couldn't pick it up grain by grain, none of it

聞いて

kiite

Listen

苦しくって叫びたくていつも

kurushikutte sakebitakute itsumo

Wanting to shout in pain

この手をすり抜けていく度

kono te o surinukete iku tabi

every time you slipped through my hands

特別なんだって分かっていたのに

tokubetsu na n da tte wakatte ita no ni

I realized how special you are

届かない声で鳴き散らし喚いた

todokanai koe de nakichirashi wameita

Yet you didn't hear me scream and cry out

それが僕の君へのメッセージ

sore ga boku no kimi e no messēji

That's my message to you

零れ落ちる砂粒を大事に拾い集めて

koboreochiru sunatsubu o daiji ni hiroiatsumete

I carefully gather the spilling sand grains

頑丈な瓶の中詰め込むから

ganjō na bin no naka tsumekomu kara

and pack them into a strong bottle

今世紀最大の馬鹿だね

konseiki saidai no baka da ne

That makes me the century's greatest idiot

こんな気持ち辛くて痛むね

konna kimochi tsurakute itamu ne

Feelings like this are painful and sore

あんなドラマみたいな

anna dorama mitai na

Like something out of a drama

予想もつかない展開見えなかった

yosō mo tsukanai tenkai mienakatta

I couldn't see such an unpredictable turn of events

もしも離れなくても

moshimo hanarenakute mo

Even supposing we hadn't gone separate ways,

どのみち僕らうまくはいかなかった

donomichi bokura umaku wa ikanakatta

things wouldn't have worked out for us anyway

流れ込んだ、重苦しい砂、潰されそうで

nagarekonda, omokurushii suna, tsubusaresō de

Feeling like I might be crushed by heavy sand pouring in,

零れ落ちる涙、一つ一つ捧げるから

koboreochiru namida, hitotsuhitotsu sasageru kara

I'll offer you my falling tears drop by drop, so …

聞いて

kiite

Listen

恋しくって泣きたくっていつも

koishikutte nakitakutte itsumo

Feeling like crying from yearning for you

触れたいって込み上げてく度

furetai tte komiageteku tabi

every time a desire to touch you rises up in me,

そんなの不可能と分かっているのに

sonna no fukanō to wakatte iru no ni

I realize that something like that is impossible

敵わない気持ち神様に誓うよ

kanawanai kimochi kamisama ni chikau yo

Yet I swear to God that I can't bear this feeling

それが今の僕にできることだ

sore ga ima no boku ni dekiru koto da

That's what I can do right now
