  1. Lone, unknown, I'm moving on through the night seams

  2. I could view and espy, on a train wavering

  3. Flowing on and moving backwards was a scenery

  4. And so lonely, I watched it as I sat

  5. As I sat

  6. The early afternoon sun in the sky up above is stained

  7. By an orange hue

  8. And I set eyes on the growing indigo, it's crushing that sunset view

  1. I kept track of the final light that I pursued

  2. My eyes chased it as if I were lamenting

  3. Today's bye-bye, that is why

  4. I step out to cast away tomorrow, and leap

  5. Dashing out to escape it all

  6. Got to keep on moving until I reach where my one-way ticket can go

  7. Don't even have a place where I belong

  8. Nowhere that I'd call home

  9. Now, in the night, oh, just leave me there

  10. Oh, leave me there

  11. Suddenly, I recognize out the window an unlighted scenery

  12. And into sight, I noticed in the dark the ocean has appeared

  13. Decided on a whim

  14. There, I got off, arriving at a town beside the sea

  15. Wave sounds were echoing as to guide me

  16. As I'm walking, they lead

  17. It's almost like somebody calling, drawing me near

  18. I got closer

  19. The ocean, wide and clear

  20. And no one could interfere

  21. So, forevermore, I will leave my body over here

  22. And while I was thinking it all over

  23. In front of me then, out of the blue

  24. Oh, there you were

  25. Right under the moonlight tonight

  26. Your skin so pale and so light

  27. Wearing a white one-piece in view

  28. Tell me why you came and what you hope to see?

  29. Question unforeseen, was a surprise to me

  30. So, at a loss for words, came out of me

  31. "To observe, the sea"

  32. You took out something I did not get to see yet

  33. And then showed me one slightly old firework set

  34. I observed as she was standing over the concrete

  35. And saw her feet, and there, barefoot she was

  36. Oh, today is the day I have decided I'd end it all, that's why

  37. I'm sure that I have come closer to that realm in that moment

  38. And it's why I managed to catch sight of you

  39. We met on that night

  40. So, it's just me and you, in this place

  41. The fireworks, we took them out

  42. Now got, now got

  43. Heating flames a little bit nearer, they do not seem to ignite

  44. You figured the cause I came to be in this area

  45. Assessed and guessed it right

  46. Then you said I should not proceed with it repeatedly

  47. And showed a serious look as you spoke it out (la-la)

  48. I know, but

  49. So, all at once, right in front of our hands

  50. A spark has suddenly lit up

  51. Naturally, we both got together and started yelling

  52. "Oh, look, it lit up!"

  53. With a gleaming light as bright as ever

  54. The fireworks were burning as a sharp sound kept ringing out

  55. Kept ringing out

  56. You could see the light fading so fast

  57. We couldn't keep up and take time to watch it slow

  58. Though not wanting to waste it, followed it until

  59. Fully blended with the night

  60. In the train, when I was looking out of that window

  61. Saw that final sun, had those same regrets inside

  62. Went after that light

  63. Yeah, I'm thinking, hm

  64. Actually

  65. When tonight is over, and the dark subsides

  66. Somewhere far, will you then vanish way beyond the tides

  67. Running from the night veil of complete darkness

  68. I woke up to shining rays of morning brightness

  69. Next to me, I took a look, and as if it were the most normal thing

  70. You're there, sleeping by my side

Umi no Manimani (海のまにまに)

Lone, unknown, I'm moving on through the night seams

I could view and espy, on a train wavering

Flowing on and moving backwards was a scenery

And so lonely, I watched it as I sat

As I sat

The early afternoon sun in the sky up above is stained

By an orange hue

And I set eyes on the growing indigo, it's crushing that sunset view

I kept track of the final light that I pursued

My eyes chased it as if I were lamenting

Today's bye-bye, that is why

I step out to cast away tomorrow, and leap

Dashing out to escape it all

Got to keep on moving until I reach where my one-way ticket can go

Don't even have a place where I belong

Nowhere that I'd call home

Now, in the night, oh, just leave me there

Oh, leave me there

Suddenly, I recognize out the window an unlighted scenery

And into sight, I noticed in the dark the ocean has appeared

Decided on a whim

There, I got off, arriving at a town beside the sea

Wave sounds were echoing as to guide me

As I'm walking, they lead

It's almost like somebody calling, drawing me near

I got closer

The ocean, wide and clear

And no one could interfere

So, forevermore, I will leave my body over here

And while I was thinking it all over

In front of me then, out of the blue

Oh, there you were

Right under the moonlight tonight

Your skin so pale and so light

Wearing a white one-piece in view

Tell me why you came and what you hope to see?

Question unforeseen, was a surprise to me

So, at a loss for words, came out of me

"To observe, the sea"

You took out something I did not get to see yet

And then showed me one slightly old firework set

I observed as she was standing over the concrete

And saw her feet, and there, barefoot she was

Oh, today is the day I have decided I'd end it all, that's why

I'm sure that I have come closer to that realm in that moment

And it's why I managed to catch sight of you

We met on that night

So, it's just me and you, in this place

The fireworks, we took them out

Now got, now got

Heating flames a little bit nearer, they do not seem to ignite

You figured the cause I came to be in this area

Assessed and guessed it right

Then you said I should not proceed with it repeatedly

And showed a serious look as you spoke it out (la-la)

I know, but

So, all at once, right in front of our hands

A spark has suddenly lit up

Naturally, we both got together and started yelling

"Oh, look, it lit up!"

With a gleaming light as bright as ever

The fireworks were burning as a sharp sound kept ringing out

Kept ringing out

You could see the light fading so fast

We couldn't keep up and take time to watch it slow

Though not wanting to waste it, followed it until

Fully blended with the night

In the train, when I was looking out of that window

Saw that final sun, had those same regrets inside

Went after that light
