夢ならばどれほどよかったでしょう
How wonderful it would have been if this were all just a dream.
未だにあなたのことを夢にみる
I still see you in my dreams.
忘れた物を取りに帰るように
Like going back to retrieve something I forgot,
古びた思い出の埃を払う
I brush off the dust of old memories.
戻らない幸せがあることを
There are happinesses that cannot return,
最後にあなたが教えてくれた
And you taught me that in the end.
言えずに隠してた昏い過去も
Even the dark past I hid, unable to say,
あなたがいなきゃ永遠に昏いまま
If you're not here, it will forever remain dark.
きっともうこれ以上傷つくことなど
Surely, I’ve come to understand that no more hurts,
ありはしないとわかっている
Will ever come to me again.
あの日の悲しみさえ あの日の苦しみさえ
Even the sadness of that day, even the suffering of that day,
そのすべてを愛してた あなたとともに
I loved it all, together with you.
胸に残り離れない 苦いレモンの匂い
The bitter scent of lemon lingers in my chest, never leaving.
雨が降り止むまでは帰れない
I can't go home until the rain stops.
今でもあなたはわたしの光
Even now, you are my light.
暗闇であなたの背をなぞった
In the darkness, I traced your silhouette.
その輪郭を鮮明に覚えている
I remember your outline vividly.
受け止めきれないものと出会うたび
Every time I encounter what I can't bear,
溢れてやまないのは涙だけ
All that overflows is nothing but tears.
何をしていたの 何を見ていたの
What were you doing? What were you looking at?
わたしの知らない横顔で
In a profile I don't know
どこかであなたが今
Somewhere, you are now
わたしと同じ様な
In a way that feels like me
涙にくれ淋しさの中にいるなら
If you're amidst tears and loneliness,
わたしのことなどどうか忘れてください
Please, forget about me completely.
そんなことを心から願うほどに
Wishing for such things from the heart
今でもあなたはわたしの光
Even now, you are my light.
自分が思うより 恋をしていたあなたに
To you, who loved more than you realize,
あれから思うように 息ができない
Since then, I can hardly breathe as I wish.
あんなに側にいたのに まるで嘘みたい
Though you were so close, it feels like a lie.
とても忘れられない それだけが確か
It's something I can never forget, that much is certain.
あの日の悲しみさえ あの日の苦しみさえ
Even the sadness of that day, even the pain of that day,
そのすべてを愛してた あなたとともに
I loved it all, together with you.
胸に残り離れない苦いレモンの匂い
The bitter scent of lemon lingers in my heart, refusing to leave.
雨が降り止むまでは帰れない
I can't go back until the rain stops.
切り分けた果実の片方の様に
Like a half of a fruit that has been cut apart,
今でもあなたはわたしの光
Even now, you are my light.
