Lyrics

karada no oku nodo no mashita
kokoro ga aru to suru nara kimi wa soko nan darou kara

zutto mae kara wakatteita kedo
toshi toreba kimi no kao mo wasurete shimau kara sa
karada no oku nodo no naka de kotoba ga dekiru shunkan wo boku wa shiritai kara

kono mama yo ga aketara

kawakanai you ni omoide wo
nakusanai you ni kono uta wo
wasurenaide mou chotto dake de ii
hitoribocchi no pareedo wo

zutto mae kara omotteta kedo
kimi no yubisaki no naka ni wa tabun kami-sama ga sundeiru
kyou, kinou yori zutto mae kara, zutto sono mukashi no mukashi kara.
wakarun da

karada no oku nodo no mashita
kimi no kaku uta wo tada maneru hibi wo

wasurenai you ni
kimi no inai ima no ondo wo

kawakanai you na omoide de
nakusenaide ita kono uta de
mou sukoshi de ii mou chotto dake de ii
hitoribocchi no pareedo wo

English Translation

Deep inside the body, right under the throat.
If a soul exists, that must be where you have one, so—

I knew it from a long time ago,
but as I get older, even your face would slip my mind, so—
Deep inside the body, in the throat, I want to know the moment when words are born, so—

If the night ends as it is—

So that the memories won't get dry,
so that this song won't get lost,
please don't forget,
for just a little longer,
let the lonely parade go on.

Since way back, I've got a feeling
that in your fingertips, there might live a God
since long before today, yesterday, all the way back to the long time ago.
I know that.

Deep inside the body, right under the throat,
I retain the days of just imitating the songs that you wrote.

So that I won't forget
the temperature of this moment without you.

With the memories that won't get dry,
with this song that I couldn't let go,
for a little longer, for just a little longer,
let the lonely parade go on.
