悲しくて飲み込んだ言葉
Words swallowed down, filled with sorrow
ずっと後についてきた
Always trailing behind me
苛立って投げ出した言葉
Frustrated, I tossed out my words
きっともう帰ることはない
Surely, I'll never return again
言葉にすると嘘くさくなって
When I put them into words, they sound like lies
形にするとあやふやになって
When I try to shape them, they lose their clarity
丁度のものはひとつもなくて
There’s not a single thing that fits just right
不甲斐ないや
How disappointing it is
愛してるよ ビビ
I love you, Bibi
明日になれば
When tomorrow comes
バイバイしなくちゃいけない僕だ
I have to say goodbye, it's me.
灰になりそうな
As if turning to ash,
まどろむ街を
in this drowsy town,
あなたと共に置いていくのさ
I'm leaving it behind with you.
あなたへと渡す手紙のため
For the letter I hand to you,
いろいろと思い出した
I've recalled so many things,
どれだって美しいけれども
Each one is beautiful, yet,
一つも書くことなどないんだ
I have nothing to write about.
でもどうして 言葉にしたくなって
But still, why do I want to put it into words,
鉛みたいな嘘に変えてまで
even if it turns into a lie like lead?
行方のない鳥になってまで
Even if I become a bird with no direction
汚してしまうのか
Will I end up tainting it?
愛してるよ ビビ
I love you, Bibi
明日になれば
When tomorrow comes
今日の僕らは死んでしまうさ
Today, we are going to die.
こんな話など
Such tales as these
忘れておくれ
Forget me now
言いたいことは一つもないさ
I don't have anything I want to say.
溶け出した琥珀の色
The color of amber melting away
落ちていく気球と飛ぶカリブー
A falling balloon and a soaring caribou
足のないブロンズと
A bronze figure without feet
踊りを踊った閑古鳥
Danced a dance with the cuckoo
忙しなく鳴るニュース
The news buzzes busily
「街から子供が消えていく」
"Children are disappearing from the streets"
泣いてるようにも歌を歌う
Singing a song as if crying
魚が静かに僕を見る
A fish quietly gazes at me
どうにもならない心でも wow-wow
Even a heart that can't be helped, wow-wow
あなたと歩いてきたんだ
I've walked alongside you
愛してるよ ビビ
I love you, Bibi
明日になれば
When tomorrow comes
バイバイしなくちゃいけない僕だ
I have to say goodbye, it's me
灰になりそうな
About to turn to ash
まどろむ街を
In this drowsy town
あなたと共に置いていくのさ
I leave it behind with you
言葉を吐いて
Words spill out
体に触れて
Touching your body
それでも何も言えない僕だ
Yet I still can't say anything
愛してるよ ビビ
I love you, Vivi
愛してるよ ビビ
I love you, Vivi
さよならだけが僕らの愛だ
Only goodbyes are our love
