Lyrics

tamashii no iro wa naniiro desu ka

"mou isso oreta mama de"
suteru hodo nigedasu hodo
tsuyokunai yo hora

mou ichido kodou, takanaru
nani ga tadashii ka nante

katachi no nai mono bakari ga
taisetsu ni natte yuku

kazaranai kotoba dake ga
tsuyoku musubareteru

mata tsumazuite korogatte
sore demo kudakenai
tamashii no iro wa naniiro desu ka

tada kizutsuite tsuyogatte
sore demo mitsuketai yo
tamashii no katachi tashikameteru yo

fukai chi no soko de hitori

English Translation

The color of the soul, what color is it?

"Better just let is remain broken"
To throw it away, runaway
I'm not that strong, see

Once again my heart beats faster
What's right
I don't know

It's the things that have no shape
That become precious

Just unadorned word
Become deeply united 

Once again stumbling, rolling
Still won't break into pieces
The color of the soul, what color is it?

Just wounded, puting on a brave front
But I still want to find it
The shape of the soul, I'm confirming it

Down in the depths of the ground, alone
Searching for a door and a key
The fairy tale, see
All disappears like bubbles
Just emotional conflict and residual images
On to the next page

A stretching tree limb branches off
Each going off on its own path

Just lonely memories
Are firmly rooted

Still standing firm, losing sight of things
But I won't give up
Where is the heart, where is the vessel?

Even if I'm left behind, slipped through the cracks
I still want to pass along
The days of the soul, intentions of the soul
Forever

The color of the soul, what color is it?
Is it red, is it blue?
The color of the soul, what color is it?
To a transparent past, to an opaque tomorrow
You who are living, what color are you?

Once again stumbling, rolling
Still won't break into pieces
The color of the soul, what color is it?

Just wounded, putting on a brave front
But I still want to find it
The shape of the soul, I'm confirming it
Forever
