バカみたいな夢を
A foolish dream like this,
笑わないで聞いてほしい
Please don’t laugh, just hear me out.
日が暮れる前に
Before the sun sets,
話しておきたい
I want to share this with you.
君みたいに優しくなりたいだけ
I just want to be gentle, like you.
祈る声は激しくあと少しだけ
The voice of prayer grows fierce, just a little longer.
心の底から触れ合うまで
Until we truly touch from the depths of our hearts.
君と繋がっていたいだけ
I just want to be connected to you.
泣きじゃくるだけじゃ
Crying endlessly,
何もないとわかったから
I’ve realized there’s nothing else.
傷つけたことを 謝りに行こう
Let's go to apologize for the hurt we caused
いつまでも近くに いてほしいだけ
I just want you to stay close forever
さよならが言えなくて 恐ろしいだけ
It's just that I can't say goodbye, and it's terrifying
溢れる光に手が震えたって
Even if my hands tremble in the overflowing light
君となら強くなれるだけ
With you, I can grow stronger, that’s all
君みたいに優しく なりたいだけ
I just want to be gentle, like you are
祈る声は激しく あと少しだけ
My praying voice is intense, just a little longer
心の底から触れ合うまで
Until we truly connect from the depths of our hearts
君と繋がっていたいだけ
I just want to stay connected to you
怯えてばかりで
I'm just always so scared
恥ずかしくなるよ
It makes me blush,
そこから見ていてね
So just watch from there,
大丈夫 ありがとう
I'm okay, thank you.
