Lyrics

貴方の足が月を蹴った
– anata no ashi ga tsuki wo ketta
白い砂が夜灯みたいだ
– shiroi suna ga yatou mitai da
貴方は気付いているんだろうか
– anata wa kizuite irun darou ka

波の向こうに何かあった
– nami no mukou ni nanika atta
それが何かわからなかった
– sore ga nanika wakaranakatta
少し寂しい
– sukoshi sabishii

足して、足して、溢れて
– tashite, tashite, afurete
足して、足している分だけ過ぎて
– tashite, tashite iru bun dake sugite

夜の海を二人歩いた
– yoru no umi wo futari aruita
月の束が氷雨みたいだ
– tsuki no taba ga hisame mitai da
貴方は気付いているんだろうか
– anata wa kizuite irun darou ka

岩の隙間に何かあった
– iwa no sukima ni nanika atta
それが何かわからなかった
– sore ga nanika wakaranakatta
少し苦しい
– sukoshi kurushii

足して、足して重ねて
– tashite, tashite kasanete
足して、足している分だけ過ぎて
– tashite, tashite iru bun dake sugite

月の中を生きる日々を
– tsuki no naka wo ikiru hibi wo
月日と誰かが言った
– tsukihi to dareka ga itta
月の中で過ごす僕ら
– tsuki no naka de sugosu bokura
言わば月光浴だろうか
– iwaba gekkouyoku darou ka

波を待つ 月を跨ぐ
– nami wo matsu tsuki wo matagu
身体は夜灯みたいに白く
– karada wa yatou mitai ni shiroku

足して、足して、忘れて
– tashite, tashite, wasurete
足して、足している分だけ増える月日の上で
– tashite, tashite iru bun dake fueru tsukihi no ue de

僕らの足が水を蹴った
– bokura no ashi ga mizu wo ketta
背びれが光って揺らめいた
– sebire ga hikatte yurameita
僕らは泳いでいるんだろうか
– bokura wa oyoide irun darou ka

魚の僕は息を吸った
– sakana no boku wa iki wo sutta
貴方もようやく気が付いた
– anata mo youyaku ki ga tsuita
月が眩しい
– tsuki ga mabushii

English Translation

Your foot kicked the moon
The white sand glows like a night-light
I wonder if you have noticed

There was something beyond the waves
I wasn’t sure what it was
It makes me a little sad

Add more, add more, make them overflow
Add more, and as many as we add, more have passed

The two of us walked by the night ocean
A bundle of moonlight falls like a sleety rain
I wonder if you have noticed

There was something between the rocks
I wasn’t sure what it was
It gives me a little pain

Add more, add more, pile them up
Add more, and as many as we add, more have passed

Some said months and days are made of
The time we spend in the moonlight
Here we are, living in the moon
I wonder if it’s a moonbath, so to speak

Waiting for the waves, stepping over the moon
Our bodies, like a night-light, glow white

Add more, add more, forget them
Add more, on months and days piling up as many as we add

Our feet kicked the water
The dorsal fins caught light and flickered
I wonder if we’re swimming

I, as a fish, took a breath
You finally noticed too
The moon is dazzling
