今、静かな夜の中で
Now, in the stillness of the night
無計画に車を走らせた
I drove aimlessly in my car
左隣、あなたの
To my left, your
横顔を月が照らした
Profile lit by the moonlight
ただ、思い出を探る様に
Just like searching for memories,
辿る様に言葉を繋ぎ合わせれば
If I string together the words as if to follow them,
どうしようもなく溢れてくる
They come pouring out relentlessly,
日々の記憶
The memories of everyday life.
あなたのそばで生きると決めたその日から
Ever since the day I chose to live by your side,
少しずつ変わり始めた世界
The world began to slowly change.
強く在るように弱さを隠すように
Hiding my weakness to seem strong,
演じてきた日々に
In those days I've been acting out,
ある日突然現れたその眼差しが
One day, suddenly appeared that gaze,
知らなかったこと教えてくれた
It taught me things I didn’t know before.
守るべきものがあればそれだけで
If there's something you must protect, just that alone
こんなにも強くなれるんだ
Can make you so much stronger.
深い深い暗闇の中で
In the deep, deep darkness,
出会い、共に過ごしてきた
We met and spent time together,
類の無い日々
In days unlike any other.
心地よかった
It felt so good,
いや、幸せだった
No, it was happy.
確かにほら 救われたんだよ
Surely, look— I was saved,
あなたに
By you.
わずかな光を捉えて輝いたのは
The little light that I caught shone like
まるで流れ星のような涙
Tears, like a shooting star.
不器用な命から流れて零れ落ちた
From this clumsy life, they flowed and fell,
美しい涙
Beautiful tears.
強く大きな体に秘めた優しさも
The kindness hidden within a strong, large body,
どこか苦しげなその顔も
And that somewhat pained expression, too,
愛しく思うんだ
I hold dear.
姿形じゃないんだ
It's not about appearance.
やっと気付いたんだ
Finally, I realized,
無情に響く銃声が夜を引き裂く
The merciless sound of gunfire tears through the night,
別れの息吹が襲いかかる
The breath of farewell attacks out of nowhere.
刹那に輝いた無慈悲な流れ星
The unmerciful shooting star that shone for a moment,
祈りはただ届かずに消えた
My prayer vanished without reaching,
この、手の中で燃え尽きた
Burned out in this hand,
金色の優しい彗星を
The gentle golden comet,
美しいたてがみを
Its beautiful mane,
暗闇の中握り締めた
Tightly gripped in the darkness.
