Hiragana / Katana / Kanji

まわり道に咲いてた花に　自分で名前をつけ
静寂の森にしまっておく　記憶に挟む栞として

賑わいに満ちた　未来だなんて
今は言えないけれど
それでもいい
馴染めない　自分を
愛せない　自分を
丸ごと包んだこの　音ノ葉

それぞれの命として
生まれた理由　自分で自分
を抱きしめる事ができなくて
巡り逢ったのかも

響かせて　その孤独を
涙は音にならぬまま
風は見えぬまま
有耶無耶にしてきた全てを
歌うから

ニヒリストに通行止めを
くらって深まる闇
その闇にだけ響き渡る
蛍の鳴き声がある

ざらついた風に
かき消されてった
いくつもの前向きさを
記憶している

しゃがみながらも
自分の身体を
何度も奮い立たせ　歌った

人が人の　夢や理想を
笑わない世界がいい
空の向うには宇宙がある　もっと遠くまで

君が君らしく　この歌を歌えるように
どしゃぶりの運命が　僕らを飲み込もうとしたって
約束の歌　君と鳴らすまで
終わらせはしない　まだ

English Translation

To the flowers blooming along the detour I gave my own names
And stored them in the silent forest as bookmarks pressed into memory

A future filled with cheer and brightness
I cannot say that now
But that is all right
The self that cannot fit in
The self that cannot be loved
Is wholly wrapped within these leaves of sound

As each life of its own
Unable to embrace the reason
I was born with my own arms
Perhaps that is why we crossed paths

Resound that loneliness
Tears remain without turning into sound
The wind remains unseen
I will sing all
That I have left in ambiguity

Stopped by a nihilist roadblock
The deepening darkness spreads
And only within that darkness
There is the cry of fireflies ringing out

In the roughened wind
Were erased away
So many forward strides
That memory still holds

Even while crouching down
I roused my body
Over and over and sang

A world where no one
Mocks another’s dreams or ideals
Beyond the sky lies the universe stretching ever farther

So that you may sing this song as yourself
Even if a downpour of fate tries to swallow us whole
Until the song of promise rings with you
I will not let it end yet
