RADWIMPS - Suzume no Namida Lyrics + English Translation

未来色した世界に　過去色まみれの
私が漂っているの　あなたは見つけたの

今日の続きは明日と　どなたが決めたの？
前ならえできない私を　日々は素通りなの

不思議だね　想い出と写真は
遠い過去なのに
一番新しく光るのはなぜ

強くなりたいと　願えば願うほど
なぜだろうその眼は　私を弱くさせる

泣いてなんかないよ　泣くわけがないでしょ
あなたが見てるのは　すずめの涙
神様も知らない　すずめの涙

あの人のところへ早く　行きたいと願えど
この両の脚で行けるとこ　ではないようなのです

過去色まみれの私の　未来をあなたは
「一緒に探してみようよ」　そう言ってくれたの

忘れたくない　ものばかり抱きしめ
次の未来受け取る隙間はどこにあるの？

強くなりたいと　思えるのは君の
泣く顔に胸が　耐えられないから

どうでもよくないよ　この僕にとっては
海よりも大きな　すずめの涙
海に一滴落ちれば色が変わってく

強くなりたいと　願えば願うほど
なぜだろうその眼は　私を弱くさせる

泣いてなんかないよ　泣くわけがないでしょ
あなたが見てるのは　すずめの涙
神様も知らない　すずめの涙

気づかぬわけないよ　そんなの無理だよ
僕にはそれしか　眼に入らないほど

大きな結晶　すずめの涙

In a world of future colors, drenched in past colors
You found me drifting, drifting along

Who’s to say that today is followed by tomorrow?
I’m not the one to follow, I just let my days pass me by

Funny how memories and photographs
Are already of the fading past
And yet, why do they shine the brightest?

The more I wish I’d be strong
Somehow those eyes make me weak

I’m not crying Why would I cry?
What you’re seeing are the tears of a sparrow
Even God isn’t aware of the tears of a sparrow

Although I can’t wait to be where you are
It seems like it’s not where I can walk on foot

Of my future drenched in past colors
You said, “Why not look for it together?”

When you hold onto things you don’t want to forget
Where is the gap to let the next future in?

I’ve come to think I want to be strong
For this heart can’t stand to see you cry

To me, it’s never unimportant
A sparrow’s tear that’s bigger than the ocean
One drop in the sea will change the whole color

The more I wish I’d be strong
Somehow those eyes make me weak

I’m not crying Why would I cry?
What you’re seeing are the tears of a sparrow
Even God isn’t aware of the tears of a sparrow

But how can I not be aware? It’s so obvious
My eyes see nothing else but

Large crystal The tears of a sparrow
