「こんな夜に君は今何思うの?
What do you think of on a night like this?
ちなみに俺は後輩の女の子を
By the way, I'm interested in a junior girl.
ちょっと家まで送ってきた帰りだよ
I just walked you back home.
あの子たぶん俺に気があると思うなぁ...」
I think that girl might be into me...
P.S... P.S...
P.S... P.S...
「あら それはどうもお疲れ様でした
Oh, thank you for your hard work.
あなた下心が笑い方にモロに出るの
Your hidden intentions show clearly in your laughter.
だから次のチャンスがあれば
So if there’s a next chance
気をつけなさいね
Be careful now.
あっそうだ
Ah, that's right.
ちなみに私は今日告白されたの」
By the way, I was confessed to today.
遠い距離が二人近づけてく
The distance pulls us closer together.
そう思えるの
I can feel it that way.
僕たちで見えぬこの距離を
This distance we can't see between us,
開いたって消えぬこの意志を
This will that won't fade even if exposed,
抱いて またいで くぐり抜って行こう
Let's embrace it, step over it, and get through it.
笑ったってどこか悲しくて
Even when I laugh, there's a trace of sadness,
怒ったってどこか切なくて
Even when I'm angry, there's a hint of longing,
きっといつもどっかに君がいる
Surely, you're always somewhere out there.
「今日指輪を外して出かけてみたら
"Today, I tried going out without my ring.
財布は忘れる 仕事は遅れる
I forget my wallet, I arrive late for work
雨は降るでもう散々でした
The rain falls, and it’s been quite a lot
恐るべき怨念ですね
What a fearsome resentment this is
だけどもそんなあなたのあなたのあなたの
But still, you, you, you
大切さを教えてくれるのはこの「距離」です
Teach me the importance of this 'distance'
だってこの距離を無限にすら感じるのです
Because I can feel this distance as if it were infinite
悔しいけどこの気持ちが
It's frustrating, but this feeling
あなたを好きな何よりもの証明なの」
Is proof of my love for you above all else
君が目にするものを僕は見れない
What you see, I cannot see
そんな日々だとて
Such are the days.
僕にしか君に見せれぬものを日々探す
Each day I search for what I can only show you.
憎んだこの二人の距離が
This distance we've come to hate,
いつしかこの二人の想いを
Before long, it brought our feelings to grow.
ずんぐりむっくり育ててくれた
It nurtured our bond, round and stout.
見えるものにすがるこの日々よ
Oh, these days clinging to what can be seen,
見えない君に救われる僕を
As I, saved by you whom I can't see,
何て言って笑ってくれたっていいよ
You could say whatever and laugh it off, it's fine.
隣にいたらこの尊さも失ってしまうなら
If being next to you means losing this preciousness,
いっそ僕はこの距離と君と三人でいいよ
Then I'm happy with this distance and you together.
僕たちで誓う この距離が
We vow together that this distance will remain.
開いたって消えぬこの意志は
This willful heart, even if it opens, won't disappear
いつも 今日も 明日も明後日も
Always, today, tomorrow, and the day after
さしあたって僕はあの彦星
For now, I am that Vega star
言うなれば君は織姫星
If I were to say, you are the Hikari star
ジャンでケンでポンで勝ったほうが
With a jankenpon, the one who wins
川渡って会いにいくことにしよう
Shall cross the river to meet you.
