掌をふたつ 重ねたあいだ
Between the two palms I have placed together
一枚の硝子で隔てられていた
Separated by a single pane of glass
ここは面会室 あなたと僕は
Here in the meeting room, it's you and me.
決してひとつになりあえないそのままで
Just staying as we are, never able to become one.
話をしている
I'm having a conversation
今呪いにかけられたままふたりで
Now, under this spell we remain together, just the two of us.
いくつも嘘をついて歩いていくのだろうか
Am I walking on, telling countless lies?
しとやかに重たい沈黙と優しさが
With grace, a heavy silence and kindness

With wide-open eyes, they were connected to those very eyes.
あなたは少し笑った
You smiled just a little
Ohh サンタマリア 何も言わないさ
Ohh Santa Maria, I won't say a word
惑うだけの言葉で満たすくらいならば
If it's just to fill with words that only confuse
Ohh 様々な幸せを砕いて 祈り疲れ
Ohh, shattering various kinds of happiness, worn out from praying
漸くあなたに 会えたのだから
Finally, I get to see you
一緒にいこう あの光の方へ
Let's go together, towards that light
手をつなごう 意味なんか無くたって
Let's hold hands, even if it means nothing
いつか紺碧の 仙人掌が咲いて
Someday, the deep blue cactus will bloom
一枚の硝子は崩れるだろうさ
A single glass will surely break
信じようじゃないか どんな明日でも
Let's believe, no matter what tomorrow brings
重ねた手と手が触れ合うその日を
The day our hands touch, layer upon layer
呪いが解けるのを
As the curse is lifted,
今この間にあなたがいなくなったら
If you were to disappear in this very moment,
悲しさや恐ろしさも消えてしまうのだろうか
Would sadness and fear vanish as well?
昏い午後の道端で探しまわった
I searched everywhere on the dim afternoon roadside,
呪いを解かす その小さなナイフを
For that tiny knife to break the curse.
汚れることのない歌を
A song that remains untarnished,
Ohh サンタマリア 全て正しいさ
Ohh, Santa Maria, everything is right.
どんな日々も過去も未来も間違いさえも
Every day, the past, the future, even the mistakes,
Ohh その目には金色の朝日が 映り揺れる
Ohh, in those eyes, the golden morning sun reflects and sways.
点滴のように 涙を落とす
Like an IV drip, tears fall.
その瞳が いつだってあなたなら
Those eyes, if they are always yours,
落ち込んだ 泥濘の中だって
Even in the depths of despair,
ここは面会室 仙人掌は未だ咲かない 硝子は崩れない
This is the meeting room; the cactus still hasn't bloomed, glass unshattered.
そんな中で一本の蝋燭が 確かに灯り続ける
Amidst it all, a single candle continues to burn brightly.
あなたを見つめ あなたに見つめられ
Gazing at you, as you gaze back at me,
信じることを やめられないように
So that I cannot stop believing.
Ohh サンタマリア 何も言わないさ
Ohh, Santa Maria, I won't say a word.
惑うだけの言葉で満たすくらいならば
If only to fill the air with meaningless words,
Ohh 様々な幸せを砕いて 祈り疲れ
Ohh, shattering various happiness, weary from prayer,
漸くあなたに 会えたのだから
Finally, I've been able to meet you.
一緒にいこう あの光の方へ
Let's go together, towards that light
手をつなごう 意味なんか無くたって
Let's hold hands, even if it has no meaning
サンタマリア 闇を背負いながら
Santa Maria, carrying the darkness
一緒にいこう あの光の方へ
Let's go together, towards that light
