あなたの指が
Your fingers,
その胸が その瞳が
that chest, those eyes,
眩しくて少し
are dazzling, making me feel a bit
眩暈がする 夜もある
lightheaded on some nights.
それは不意に落ちてきて
It falls unexpectedly,
あまりにも暖かくて
so warm it feels,
飲み込んだ 七色の星
swallowed up the rainbow stars.
弾ける火花みたいに
Like bursting sparks,

they tightly wrapped me in confusion.
それでまだ歩いてゆけること
Yet somehow, I can still walk on.
教わったんだ
I've been taught,
神様 どうか どうか
God, please, please,
声を聞かせて
let me hear your voice.
ほんのちょっとでいいから
Just a little is enough,
もう二度と 離れないように
so we never part again.
あなたと二人
Just the two of us,
あの星座のように
like those constellations.
結んで欲しくて
I want to be tied together,
夢の中でさえどうも
even in my dreams, it seems,
上手じゃない 心具合
I'm not feeling quite right.
気にしないでって
Don't mind me, alright?
嘆いたこと
The things I lamented,
泣いていたこと
The times I cried.
解れた袖の糸を引っぱって
Pulling the threads of the unraveled sleeve,
ふっと星座を作ってみたんだ
I tried to create constellations.
お互いの指を星として
Our fingers as stars,
それは酷くでたらめで
It was a terribly whimsical thing,
僕ら笑いあえたんだ
Yet we could laugh together.
そこにあなたがいてくれたなら
If only you were there with me,
それでいいんだ
That would be enough.
今なら どんな どんな
Now, no matter what, no matter what,
困難でさえも
Even any difficulty,
愛して見せられるのに
I could show my love.
あんまりに 柔くも澄んだ
So soft and pure,
夜明けの間
In the dawn's embrace,
ただ眼を見ていた
I just kept gazing.
淡い色の瞳だ
With those pale-colored eyes,
真白でいる 陶器みたいな
So white, like porcelain,
声をしていた 冬の匂いだ
A voice that carried the scent of winter.
心の中 静かに荒む
Quietly, my heart grows restless.
嵐を飼う 闇の途中で
In the dark, midst taming the storm,
落ちてきたんだ 僕の頭上に
It fell down upon me, right over my head.
煌めく星
A shimmering star,
泣きそうなくらいに
To the point of wanting to cry,
触れていたんだ
I could feel it,
神様 どうか どうか
Oh God, please, please,
声を聞かせて
Let me hear Your voice,
ほんのちょっとでいいから
Just a little bit is enough,
もう二度と 離れないように
So we won’t ever part again,
あなたと二人
Just the two of us.
この星座のように
Like this constellation,
結んで欲しくて
I want you to bind us,
結んで欲しくて
I want you to bind us.
