みなまで言わないでくれ
Please don't say it all out loud
草葉の露を数えて
Counting the dew on the grass blades
伸びゆく陰を背負って
Carrying the shadows as they stretch and grow
あなたを偲び歩いた
I walked while remembering you
二人で植えた向日葵は
The sunflowers we planted together
とうに枯れ果ててしまった
Have long since withered away
照り落ちる陽の下で
Beneath the shining sun's embrace
一人夏を見渡した
I gazed over summer all alone
今なお浮かぶその思い出は
Even now, those memories still linger
何処かで落として消えるのか
Are they falling somewhere and fading away?
あなたの抱える憂が
The sorrow you carry,
その身に浸る苦痛が
The pain that seeps into your being,
雨にしな垂れては
Let it hang like the rain,
流れ落ちますように
And flow away to the sea.
真午の海に浮かんだ
Drifting on the sea at high noon,
漁り火と似た炎に
Like the flickering flames of fishing lights,
安らかであれやと
May you find peace,
祈りを送りながら
As I send my prayers up high.
みなまで言わないでくれ
Please don't say everything,
俺がそうであるように
Just as I am.
あなたが俺を忘れるなら
If you forget me,
どれほど淋しいだろう
how lonely it would be;
岩屋の陰に潜み
hiding in the shadows of the rocks,
あなたの痛みも知らず
unaware of your pain.
嵐に怯む俺は
Trembling in the storm,
のろまな山椒魚だ
I’m a sluggish newt.
零れありぬこの声が
This voice that spills out,
掠れ立ちぬあの歌が
that ragged song,
風にたゆたうなら
if it sways in the wind,
あなたへと届いてくれ
may it reach you.
さよならも言えぬまま
Without even saying goodbye,
一つ報せも残さずに
Leaving without a single word to spare,
去り退いたあなたに
To you who have departed,
祈りを送りながら 嗚呼
I send my prayers, oh,
青く澄んでは日照りの中
In the blue, clear midst of the drought,
遠く遠くに燈が灯る
A light flickers far, far away,
それがなんだかあなたみたいで
Somehow it feels just like you,
心あるまま縷々語る
As I speak from the heart, thread by thread,
青く澄んでは日照りの中
In the blue, clear midst of the drought,
遠く遠くに燈が灯る
A light flickers far, far away.
それがなんだかあなたみたいで
It somehow feels like you,
心あるまま縷々語る
As I speak from the heart, word by word.
今なお浮かぶこの思い出は
These memories still linger on,
どこにも落とせはしないだろう
I can't just let them fall away anywhere.
あなたの抱える憂が
The sorrow you bear,
その身に浸る苦痛が
The pain that seeps into your being,
雨にしな垂れては
May it drip down like rain,
流れ落ちますように
And flow away, just like that.
真午の海に浮かんだ
Floating on the noon sea,
漁り火と似た炎に
Like a fishing fire, a flame so similar.
安らかであれやと
May you find peace,
祈りを送りながら
As I send my prayers,
青く澄んでは日照りの中
In the clear blue under the scorching sun,
遠く遠くに燈が灯る
A light flickers far, far away.
それがなんだかあなたみたいで
Somehow, it feels just like you,
心あるまま縷々語る
I speak my heart's truths one by one.
青く澄んでは日照りの中
In the clear blue under the scorching sun,
遠く遠くに燈が灯る
A light flickers far, far away.
それがなんだかあなたみたいで
Somehow, it feels just like you,
心あるまま縷々語る
I speak my heart's truths one by one.
青く澄んでは日照りの中
In the clear blue under the scorching sun,
遠く遠くに燈が灯る
A light shines far, far away,
それがなんだかあなたみたいで
It somehow reminds me of you,
心あるまま縷々語る
As I speak with my heart laid bare,
青く澄んでは日照りの中
In the clear blue under the scorching sun,
遠く遠くに燈が灯る
A light shines far, far away,
それがなんだかあなたみたいで
It somehow reminds me of you,
心あるまま縷々語る
As I speak with my heart laid bare.
