あたしあなたに会えて 本当に嬉しいのに
I'm so happy to have met you, truly.
当たり前のように それらすべてが悲しいんだ
But it's all so sadly routine, as if it's expected.
今痛いくらい幸せな思い出が
Now these memories that hurt with happiness,
いつか来るお別れを育てて歩く
Nurture the farewells we'll face someday as we walk.
誰かの居場所を奪い 生きるくらいならもう
If it means taking someone's place to survive, then no,
あたしは石ころにでもなれたならいいな
I wish I could just turn into a stone instead.
だとしたら勘違いも 戸惑いもない
If that’s the case, there would be no misunderstandings or confusion.
そうやってあなたまでも 知らないままで
Yet even so, I remain unaware, just like you.
あなたにあたしの思いが
I wish all my feelings for you,
全部伝わって欲しいのに
Would reach you completely, if only.
誰にも言えない秘密があって
There's a secret I can't tell anyone,
嘘をついてしまうのだ
So I end up telling lies.
あなたが思えば思うより
The more I think of you,
いくつもあたしは意気地ないのに
The more I realize how cowardly I am.
どうして どうして どうして
Why, oh why, oh why?
消えない悲しみも 綻びもあなたといれば
Even the sorrow that doesn't fade away, the cracks—when I'm with you,
それで良かったねと笑えるのが
It makes me feel so happy to laugh and say it's all okay,
どんなに嬉しいか
No matter how much that means to me.
目の前の全てがぼやけては溶けてゆくような
Everything before my eyes seems to blur and melt away,
奇跡であふれて足りないや
Overflowing with miracles, yet still not enough.
あたしの名前を呼んでくれた
You called out my name,
あなたが居場所を失くし
As you lose your place,
彷徨うくらいならばもう
If you're going to wander, then why not,
誰かが身代わりになればなんて思うんだ
Hope someone could take your place, that's what I think.
今 ささやかで確かな見ないふり
Now, looking away at this modest, certain truth,
きっと繰り返しながら笑い合うんだ
We’ll surely laugh together, repeating it all,
何度誓っても 何度祈っても
No matter how many times I swear, how many times I pray,
惨憺たる夢を見る
I see a dreadful dream,
小さな歪みが いつかあなたを
A small distortion may someday
呑んでなくしてしまうような
Swallow you whole and make you disappear.
あなたが思うより大げさにあたしは
I'm more extravagant than you think,
不甲斐ないのに
Even though I'm insufficient.
どうして どうして どうして
Why, oh why, oh why,
お願い いつまでも いつまでも
Please, forever and ever,
超えられない夜を
To overcome this night I can't break through,
超えようと手をつなぐ この日々が
Holding hands to try to get through it—these days,
続きますように
May they continue on.
閉じた瞼さえ 鮮やかに彩るために
Even to color my closed eyelids vividly,
そのために 何ができるかな
What can I do for that, I wonder?
あなたの名前を呼んでいいかな
Is it okay if I call your name?
生まれてきたその瞬間にあたし
The moment I was born, I
「消えてしまいたい」って泣き喚いたんだ
"I want to disappear," I cried out in despair.
それからずっと探していたんだ
Since then, I've been searching endlessly.
いつか出会える
Hoping to meet you someday,
あなたのことを
The one I long for.
消えない悲しみも 綻びもあなたといれば
Even the unending sorrow and the unraveling, when I'm with you,
それで良かったねと笑えるのが
It's a joy that makes me smile, saying it was all worth it,
どんなに嬉しいか
No matter how happy it makes me.
目の前の全てが ぼやけては溶けてゆくような
Like everything before me blurs and melts away,
奇跡で溢れて足りないや
Overflowing with miracles, yet never enough.
あたしの名前を呼んでくれた
You called out my name
あなたの名前を呼んでいいかな
Can I call out your name?
