Lyrics

mabuta no mukougawa
tsuioku no keshiki wa
usurete yuku awai kagerou
yubisaki kasumete

itami mo kanashimi mo
shirazu ni ikitetara
mune no oku no nukumori sae
kizukazu ni ita no kana

ima kasuka ni todoita sono koe ga
kodoku wo kirisaki michibiku hikari
aimai na sekai wo terasu you na
itoshisa wo yasashisa wo
namida wa karehatete mo
kioku ni yakitsuiteru

omoidasu ka no you ni
taguriyoseru ka no you ni
sagashiteita ate mo nai mama
hagureta kako no saki de

mada kikoeteiru kana?
mada oboeteiru kana?
todokeru koto ga dekiru nara
mou ichido dake kono negai wo

iranai yo iranai yo
itsuka wa kiete shimau deshou
iranai yo iranai no ni
kokoro wa ibasho motomete

mada wazuka ni nokotta kankaku wa
yasashii tomoshibi ni mo nita itami
aitai to sakebu mune no kodou wa
itsu made mo itsu made demo

ima kasuka ni hibiita sono koe ga
kodoku ni yorisoi tsutsunda hikari
aimai na sekai wo terasu you na
itoshisa wo yasashisa wo
namida wa karehatete mo
sono koe wo oboeteru
kimi no koe ga kikoeru
owaranai monogatari

English Translation

Behind my closed eyelids,
I brush my fingertips
against the fading heat haze in
the scenery I'm reminiscing

Had I lived without ever having experienced
pain or sadness,
I wonder if I would have never noticed
even the warmth deep in my heart

The voice that faintly reached me just now
was a light that slices through the solitude and guides me
It gives me kindness, a feeling of preciousness
that lights up this vague world
Even if my tears dry up and stop
It's still burnt into my memories

As if I was remembering,
as if I was reeling it in,
I was searching aimlessly
in my stray past

Can you still hear it?
Do you still remember it?
If I'm able to reach you,
then I'll offer this wish up one more time

I don't need it, I just don't need it
It'll end up disappearing one day, right?
I don't need it, even though I don't need it,
my heart is searching for a place it belongs

The sensation that still faintly remains
is a pain similar to a small, gentle flame
The beat in my heart that shouts out "I miss you"
is endless, regardless of however much time may pass
The voice that faintly rang out just now

was a light that drew up close to my solitude and enveloped me
It gives me kindness, a feeling of preciousness
that lights up this vague world
Even if my tears dry up and stop
I remember that voice
I can hear your voice
This is an endless story
