Lyrics

kissaki ni utsutta kimi ga tsunzaite boku no negai wa
sasurau aki no sora

omou yori tsuyoku wa nai sono yokogao ni
boku wa itsumo chikazukenaide iru
wasuretai omou hodo ni zutto wasurerarenai
hamukatta kinou wa boku wo sasu

sode ga fureta yoake mae sa
deau mae ni mou modorenai na
dare ga tame ni mo hana wa sakuran
kono omoi todokanaku tomo
ai nanka ga ai nanka de
namida no ato wa kesenai wa
kedo itsuka wa yuruseru nara

kono kissaki ni utsushita ashita wo
meimei ni sasurau wa aki no sora
ima massugu ni tsuranuite kimi no
omoi ga kimi wo tooku tsurete yuku darou

oboete itai no

omou you ni ugoite kurenai kono tenohira ni
donna imi wo nigirasereba
tsugunai yurushi tsunagi mukaerareru kono akekure
kono kokoro wa akaku kuroku koku koku mashite tetsu no aji
saki wo isoge namida wa asu e to nagareru kawa

sono yukisaki ni yadoshita kakugo wo
reimei ni samayou wa hito no sei
ienai boku no utsuro terasu no wa
itooshi oboro ano soumatou

aa mata umaru koto no nai fuzai no kimi omou bakari da
haru yo, yaiba no iranu yasuragi wo mata ubaiae do mo

kono kissaki ni utsushita ashita wo
meimei ni sasurau wa aki no sora
ima massara ni bokura deau nara
ano hi no koto wa itami wa uso wa
surechigau toki no naka houmutte
kimi ga izu tomo kyou ga akete yuku sora

wasurerarenai hito yo
sasurau wa sayounara

English Translation

Your reflection on a blade edge rends the air and my wish is
Wandering the autumn sky

The side of your face looking not as strong
I still can’t get close to you
The more I try to forget, the more I remember
I resisted yesterday, now it stabs me

Our sleeves touched before dawn
We can’t go back to before we met
Flowers will bloom for anyone
Even if my feelings don’t reach
With something as trivial as love
The tracks of my tears can’t be erased
But if one day I forgive

Tomorrow reflected on a blade edge
Each wandering the autumn sky
Penetrates straight through now
And your feelings will take you far away

I want to remember

With these hands that are not free to move
What meaning should I grasp
To atone, to connect with forgiveness and receive, day in and day out
My heart is red and black, dark and thick, taste of metal
Hurry ahead Tears are rivers flowing towards tomorrow

Resolve that dwelled in its destination.
It’s human nature to wander in the dawn
Shining my emptiness I can’t tell anyone,
A hazy memory of love flashes before my eyes

Oh, all I could think about is you. You who are absent, a hole no other can fill
Oh springtime, give me calmness that doesn’t require a blade, even if we take from each other again

Tomorrow reflected on a blade edge
Each wandering the autumn sky
If we meet again in brand new feelings
Bury everything about that day, the pain, the lies
Bury them in the time of our growing apart
Even without you, a new day is dawning in the sky

To the one I can’t forget
Wandering is goodbye
