Kiro Akiyama - SKETCH Lyrics + English Translation

久しぶりに君の笑った顔を見た気がした
胸に灯れ　出来る限りSlow motion

この短い夜が最後になるならきっと会いに行くんだ
僕ですらそう思うのさ　のうのうと

抱きしめ合っている隙に泣いてしまうくらい
痛みを話すこともできない
弱点のある君がこんなに好きなのに

ああ　絵に描いて
渡すべきなんだよ
この僕の想いも　笑う前に

「居なくならないでね」
「君こそね」
能天気に約束して肩を叩く
きまってどちらかが破るのさ
今回もまた僕じゃなかっただけ
震えた手はサインを作ってた
僕は何度もそれを見落とした
ねえ　約束なんて「守る」っていうただの合図さ
本当はただ手を繋ぎたいだけ

もう一番側で君を見ていたいと思えば思うほど
居れない理由も色濃くなるの　そういうもんさ

優しさを受け取ったままに出来る人はそんなにいない
自分自身を誰かと思えば痛くしない？

ああ　繊細で
美しい心模様が映っているの　僕の目には

他人の痛みで顔が歪む
君はいつどこで笑うのさ
傷の数ばかり数えてた
どうしてその痛みには気付かない？
僕らは自分勝手なフリをして
人の事ばかり考える
ねえ幸せだってちょっとくらいは痛みがするから
不幸くらいでは離せない　分かるかな

別の心が欲しいとか
悲しいこと言うもんじゃないよ
顔も自分じゃ見れないでしょう
心を映す鏡がいるんだよ
ねえ　どうかな…

「居なくならないでね」
「君こそね」
能天気に約束して肩を叩く
きまってどちらかが破るのさ
そんな当たり前を包むものが愛なんだろう
どうやら僕のほうが君のこと
上手に絵に描いて渡せそうだ
ねえ少し驚いてしまうかもしれないけど
君はこんなに綺麗に笑ってたんだよ

I feel like it’s been a long time since I saw your smiling face
Light up the heart, in slow motion, as much as possible

If this short night is our last, then I’m sure I’d go see you
That’s how even I feel, in a carefree way

Crying as we hold each other
We can’t even talk about the pain
I love you so much even with your weaknesses

Ah, you should do a sketch
And give it to me
Along with my feelings, before you laugh

“Please don’t go”
“I don’t want you to go, either”
We made carefree promises as we punched each other on the shoulder
Although one of us always failed to keep their end
And it wasn’t me this time either
Your shaking hands were a signal
Yet I missed it so many times
Hey, a promise is just something to “keep”
All I really want is to hold hands

The more I long to remain the closest to you
The more I realize I can’t stay, that’s just the way it is

There aren’t many of those that just keep taking kindness
Perhaps it wouldn’t hurt as much if you thought of yourself as someone else?

Ahhh, the sensitive
Beautiful patterns of your heart are what I see

Your face distorts in reaction to other people’s pain
When and where will you laugh
Too busy counting wounds
How could I have missed your pain?
We pretended to act selfishly but
We’re always thinking of others
There’s always some pain that comes with happiness, so
I can’t let you go just because of some unhappiness – you understand?

Wishing for another heart
Don’t say something so sad
Just like you can’t see your own face
You need a mirror to reflect your heart
So please…

“Don’t disappear on me”
“You too”
We made carefree promises as we punched each other on the shoulder
Although one of us always failed to keep their end
But love is about enveloping what we take for granted
It looks like I’m more likely to
Give you my sketch of you
It might surprise you a little
But see, this is how beautiful your smiles are
