何にも役に立たないことばかり
Nothing but useless things,
教えて欲しいや
I want you to teach me.
あなたのそのくだらない話を灯りの麓で
Your silly stories at the foot of the light,
今だけ全て見えない聞こえないふりして笑おうか
Shall we laugh pretending we can't see or hear anything, just for now?
何にも役に立たないことばかり
Nothing but useless things,
教えて欲しいや
I want you to teach me.
きっとあなたと私は
Surely you and I,
いつまでも一緒にいられない
Won't be together forever.
何か食べようか
Shall we eat something?
ここで話をしようか
Shall we talk here?
「そんじゃまたね 明日ね」
Well then, see you tomorrow
そんな風に今日を終えども
Even though today ends in that way
明日なんて見たこともないのにさ
I've never even seen tomorrow anyway
随分あっけらかんとしてるわ
It's all quite carefree, isn't it?
望むのは簡単だ
Desiring is so easy
あなたのいる未来が
A future with you in it
ただこの目に映るくらいでいい
Is enough if I can just see it with these eyes
私はそれで眼福さ
That's all I need for my heart to rejoice
何にも役に立たないことばかり
Just a bunch of things that are no use at all
教えて欲しいや
I want you to teach me
こうしてひっそりと時が進むまま死ねたら僥倖さ
If I could quietly pass away as time moves on, that would be a stroke of luck.
雨が降り落ちはねる音を聞く
I hear the sound of rain falling and bouncing.
あなたに寄り添って今
Right now, I want to be close to you.
何にも役に立たないことばかり
It's all just things that aren't of any use.
教えて欲しいや
I wish you would tell me.
水の無いバスタブに
In a bathtub without water,
ふたり浸かり目を閉じている
We're both submerged, our eyes closed.
雨が窓を突く
The rain taps against the window.
ここで話をしようか
Shall we talk here?
きっとふたりは 大丈夫さ
Surely, we will be okay, the two of us.
子供みたいに笑う
Laughing like a child,
その鼻先が頬を突いて笑う
Your little nose pokes my cheek and grins.
言葉を捨ててまた笑う
Throwing away words, I laugh again.
望むのは簡単だ
Wishing is easy,
あなたのいる未来が
Just a future with you,
ただこの目に映るくらいでいい
Is enough to be reflected in my eyes.
あたしはそれで眼福さ
For me, that's a blessing.
「そんじゃまたね 明日ね」
"Well then, see you tomorrow,"
そんな風に今日を終えども
Even though I end today like that,
明日なんて見たこともないのにさ
I've never even seen tomorrow.
随分あっけらかんとしてるわ
You're so carefree and lighthearted,
望むのは簡単だ
Wishing is easy,
あなたのいる未来が
A future where you are present,
ただこの目に映るくらいでいい
Is all I need to see with my own eyes,
あたしはそれで眼福さ
That alone is enough to be a blessing,
あたしはそれで眼福さ
That alone is enough to be a blessing.
