  1. 始まる場所した

    I searched for the place where the rainbow begins,

  2. らいたよ

    I went to gather the leftover light,

  3. ってない ない

    If I'm not shining, no one will notice me.

  4. フリでもいいから

    Even if it's just pretending to understand,

  5. あのした

    I searched for that phoenix,

  6. らいたよ

    I went to gather the leftover feathers,

  7. でも どれすぎ

    But you see, they're all too big for me,

  8. 求める意味すぎ

    The meaning I seek is just too small,

  9. って消えるただそれだけながら

    Knowing it's just about shining and fading away,

  10. 光るきれいしょう?

    Don't I shine beautifully?

  11. って見え明日晴れるその

    The reason why tomorrow looks so cloudy,

  12. もうないから

    I won't ask anyone anymore.

  13. いい 名前ないけど

    It's okay, I have no name,

  14. 消えるときちゃんと

    But when I disappear, please cry for me.

  15. そのとき 一番しか

    At that moment, I want to be named,

  16. 名前つけほしい

    By the star that shone the brightest.

  17. 嬉しいこと 悲しいこといつも半分ずつ

    Happy things and sad things are always half and half,

  18. だからそう 最後なれる

    So in the end, it can all become zero.

  19. って消えるただそれだけながら

    Believing that it's just about shining and fading away,

  20. 歌うここいる

    I’m singing, I'm right here.

  21. ってみせるその笑顔愛しいから

    That smile I will create is so dear to me,

  22. もう昨日ない

    So please don't go searching for yesterday.

  23. って消えるただそれだけながら

    Knowing it's just about shining and fading away,

  24. 光るきれいしょう?

    Don't I shine beautifully?

  25. だから 痛む光る

    So, I'll carry the shining seeds on my aching heart,

  26. 幸せって言えるまで

    Until I can say I'm happy,

  27. ってたい

    I want to keep shining.

  28. って逃げるただそれだけなら

    If life is just about grabbing and escaping, then
