僕は君の友達
I am your friend
君の愛を守るパトリオット
A patriot who guards your love
ずっと遠くの斜陽から
From a distant setting sun.
君の姿を見つけたよ
I've spotted you, my dear.
もしも君の心を
If only I could reach your heart
傷つけるものがあるなら
If there's something that can hurt me,
僕の灼けた体で
With my sun-kissed body
それをすぐ殺してしまおう
Let's kill it right away.

君が大人になるそれまでに
Until you become an adult
この落書きみたいな毎日が
These graffiti-like days of mine
年老いたその時も変わらずに
Will remain unchanged even when we're old
褪せた色に続いていけばいい
Following the faded colors is just fine
僕は君の友達
I am your friend
君と声を繋ぐパトリオット
A patriot connecting our voices
息を吹いて陰るパチオから
Breathing life from the shadows of the patio
君の寂しい声を聞く
I hear your lonely voice
ずっと傷つけてきた
I've hurt you all this time
それしか出来ないパトリオット
A patriot who can do nothing but that
溺れそうに伸びるポプラと
The poplar trees stretch out as if drowning
君の哀しい歌が鳴る
Your sorrowful song resonates
ラララ
La la la
日向に見るよ 青い経路
In the sunlight, I see the blue path.
冷たい思い出に変わるまでに
Before they turn into cold memories
あの疾んだ芥子みたいな毎日を
Those swift days, like a poppy in bloom
永劫君は知らずにいて欲しい
Eternally, I want you to remain unaware
褪せた色に続いていけばいい
Just follow the faded colors ahead.
知っているのさ いつか君が
I know that someday you will
僕のことを忘れることを
To forget about me
それでいいさ 僕は君を守るため
That's alright, I will protect you.
傷をつけるパトリオットさ
A patriot with cuts and scars,
遊びに行こうよ 急いで行こう
Let's go out and have some fun, hurry up now.
君が大人になるそれまでに
Before you become an adult,
この落書きみたいな毎日が
These days that feel like mere scribbles,
年老いたその時も変わらずに
Even when you're old, they'll remain the same,
褪せた色に続いていけばいい
Just follow the faded colors ahead.
恐ろしい夜も下らない朝も
Through terrifying nights and dull mornings,
すべて粉々に砕け散れば
If everything shatters into tiny pieces,
あの羊水が涸れた砂漠の中
In that desert where the amniotic fluid has dried,
君はほら 誰かと歩いていく
Look, you're walking along with someone.
鮮やかな色で満ち足りた道
A path filled with vibrant colors, so satisfying
僕がいなくなるとき
When I am no longer here
君の心に傷がつくよう
It’s as if I wish to wound your heart
そう願ってしまう脆弱を
This fragile longing, I cannot help but feel
ひとつだけ許して欲しい
I just want you to forgive me this once
僕はパトリオットさ
I am a patriot, you see
