儚くたたずむ 名前も知らぬ花に
In the fleeting moment stands a flower with a name unknown,
あなたはそっと微笑んだ
You smiled gently.
幾重にも 積み重なる
Layer upon layer,
暗闇の中 見つけた光は
In the darkness, I found a light,
きっと... あなたの笑顔で あなたの言葉で どれほど救われただろう
Surely... how much I've been saved by your smile, by your words.
守りたいものを 手にした私は 今とても強くて
Now that I've held onto what I want to protect, I feel so strong.
忘れたくない この想いを
I don’t want to forget these feelings.
小さな背中に 抱えた孤独な空
The lonely sky I carry on my small back,
分け合う 優しさに触れて
Touched by the kindness we share,
胸の奥 隠していた
Hidden deep in my heart.
弱さが今誓いへと 変わった
Weakness has now transformed into a vow
たとえ... どんな悲しみも どんな傷みでも 此処に受け止められるよ
No matter the sadness... no matter the pain, I can hold it all here
不器用だけれど 抱きしめる腕は もう迷わないから
Clumsy as I am, my arms that embrace will no longer waver
降り出す雨を さえぎるように
Like blocking the rain that starts to fall
そして... どんな明日へも どんな願いへも 共に歩いてゆけたら
And then... if we could walk together to any tomorrow, to any wish
夢を見ることを 覚えた私の空は とても青く
The sky of my awakened dream is so very blue
名もない花が 風に揺れる
A nameless flower sways in the wind
