夕闇街道 ♥ Yūyami Kaidō ♥ Dusk Highway

夕闇を一人きり歩く　

yūyami o hitorikiri aruku

I walk during dusk all alone

街灯が点つきだした街道

gaitō ga tsukidashita kaidō

on a highway where the lights begin to light up.

西の空は光が燃えて　

nishi no sora wa hikari ga moete

In the western sky, the light's on fire

やがて藍に溶け込んで消える

yagate ai ni tokekonde kieru

and before longs blends into indigo and disappears.

11月の風は冷えて　

jūichigatsu no kaze wa hiete

The November winds are cool,

秋の終わりと冬の始まり

aki no owari to fuyu no hajimari

spelling the end of autumn and the start of winter.

どうでもいいことに気付いた　

dō demo ii koto ni kizuita

I realized I didn't care about something.

"僕は何も為なし得てない"

"boku wa nani mo nashiete'nai"

"There's nothing I can do about it."

追憶のオレンジライト　

tsuioku no orenjiraito

The orange lights in my memories,

先月のコーヒーの香り

sengetsu no kōhī no kaori

the aroma of coffee from last month,

白と黒の水彩絵の具　

shiro to kuro no suisai enogu

black and white watercolour paints,

星の見えない夜の曇天

hoshi no mienai yoru no donten

cloudy skies at night where you can't see the stars.

レミレ共鳴空に響いて　

re mi re kyōmei sora ni hibiite

Re mi re resonates in the sky;

遠い町に届いてますか？

tōi machi ni todoite'masu ka?

does it reach the distant town?

境界線のその先で

kyōkaisen no sono saki de

At the end of the boundary line

僕は夢を見ていたんだ

boku wa yume o mite ita n da

I was having a dream.

あの日誓った自分を保って

ano hi chikatta jibun o tamotte

If I keep myself as I was the day I made the vow,

今も生きられていますか？

ima mo ikirarete imasu ka?

could I still be living now?

何回も虚無に溺れて　

nankai mo kyomu ni oborete

Many times I've drowned in nothingness,

それでも足掻あがいて泳ぎ続けてるんだろう

soredemo agaite oyogitsuzukete'ru n darō

yet still, I guess I struggle and keep swimming.

まだ遠く

mada tōku

Still far to go …

嫌われたくない一心で　

kirawaretaku nai isshin de

Wholeheartedly not wanting to be disliked

嘘で塗り固めたプロフィール

uso de nurikatameta purofīru

I laquer my profile with lies.

ボロが出るのは案外早く　

boro ga deru no wa angai hayaku

My flaws have appeared sooner than I expected.

そうしてまた距離が開いた

sōshite mata kyori ga hiraita

As a result, we're even further apart.

後どれくらいで追い付けるかな　

ato dore kurai de oitsukeru ka na

How much longer before I can catch up?

君はとっくに見えなくなって

kimi wa tokkuni mienaku natte

Though you're already long out of sight

足跡も見失ったのに

ashiato mo miushinatta no ni

and I've even lost sight of your footprints,

僕は何に期待してる？

boku wa nani ni kitai shite'ru?

what am I hoping for?

夕闇を一人きり歩く　

yūyami o hitorikiri aruku

I walk during dusk all alone.

街灯を頼りに進んだ

gaitō o tayori ni susunda

I moved forwards relying on the street lights

暗黒を掻き分けるようで　

ankoku o kakiwakeru yō de

as if pushing through the blackness,

実は敷かれたレールの上

jitsu wa shikarareta rēru no ue

but actually it's on laid out rails.

一度道を踏み外したら

ichido michi o fumihazushitara

Once I make a misstep on the road

もう二度と帰れないから

mō nidoto kaerenai kara

I can never go back.

君がこの先にいることを

kimi ga kono saki ni iru koto o

And so trusting that you're there ahead of me,

信じて歩み続けるしかない

shinjite ayumitsuzukeru shika nai

all I can do is keep walking.

どうにか君に聞こえるように

dōnika kimi ni kikoeru yō ni

So that you can somehow get to hear me,

精一杯歌い続けてるけど

seiippai utaitsuzukete'ru kedo

I keep singing with all my effort.

音はすぐに掠れて埋もれてしまうから

oto wa suguni kasurete umorete shimau kara

The sound, however, soon gets broken up and drowned out,

届く筈はずがないよ

todoku hazu ga nai yo

so I doubt it will reach you.

♫

♫

♫

無責任と分かっているけど

musekinin to wakatte iru kedo

I realize it's irresponsible

君には生きていてほしいんだ

kimi ni wa ikite ite hoshii n da

but I do want you to be alive.

君を引き留める材料なんて

kimi o hikitomeru zairyō nante

Though I don't have anything

持ち合わせていないけれど

mochiawasete inai keredo

I can use to hold you back.

僕はずっと歌っているから　

boku wa zutto utatte iru kara

Because I've been singing all along,

君を追いかけているから

kimi o oikakete iru kara

because I've been following you,

冷たい風に何度も晒されて　

tsumetai kaze ni nandomo sarasarete

because I will never accept defeat

それでも絶対負けねえから

soredemo zettai makenē kara

even though buffeted by the cold wind over and over …

いつか君に伝えてみせるから

itsuka kimi ni tsutaete miseru kara

Someday I'll tell you,

まだ遠く　見えないけど

mada tōku mienai kedo

even though it's still far and I can't see you.

暗闇を一人きり歩く　

kurayami o hitorikiri aruku

And so I walk throught the darkness all alone

街道はどこまでも続く

kaidō wa dokomademo tsuzuku

on a highway that goes on forever.

未来はまだ分からないから　

mirai wa mada wakaranai kara

I don't yet know the future,

諦めるには早いぜ

akirameru ni wa hayai ze

so it's too soon to give up.
