Lyrics

shiranai kuni ni mayoikonda mitai da
daremo ga kirei na uso de hanashiteru
kono te wo doko ni mo tsunagenai mama, watashi wa
mogaku you ni anata wo sagashiteiru

shinde shimatta dareka no nyuusu ni
namida shita yasashii hito tachi
haitsukubatte ikiru dareka no
ikiteiru zama ni wa shitauchi wo shita

watashi wa doko ni iru no?

ano ne,

anata to futari de iki wo shiteitai
anata to futari de oyoide yukitai
dokoka tooku no hate ni nagaretsuku made
mada minu sekai de waraeru made
tada anata to dake te wo tsunageru nara
tada anata to dake yoru wo yarisugosetara
shinjirareru mono nado hitotsu mo nakute mo
futatsu no samishisa demo

nanimo nai uchuu ni houridasareta mitai da
zengo mo sayuu mo wakaranaku naru
heso no o wo kitta akago no you ni, watashi wa
oboetate no kodoku ni kamitsuiteiru

umi no mukou de okita higeki ni
jihi wo kakeawaremu hito tachi
onaji kotoba de hanasu dareka wo
kizutsukete doushite waraete shimau no?

sore demo ikiteiru no?

daremo ga hitori de ikite wa yukenai
kanashimi no omosa wo uketomekirenai
itetsuku biru kaze ni mi wo furuwasete
kajikamu kokoro ni iki wo fuite
ima yori sukoshi dake yasashiku naretara
tsunagariau koto wo osorezu ni iraretara
me ni mienai akui ni sainamareyou tomo
tadashiku are naku tomo

ano muun ribaa wo watatte
mayoi nagara susumou
takusan no sekai wo anata to mitai yo

michishirube wa iranai
tonari ni anata ga ite
watashi wa koko ni iru kara

anata to futari de iki wo shiteitai
anata to futari de oyoide yukitai
dokoka tooku no hate ni nagaretsuku made
mada minu sekai de waraeru made
tada anata to dake te wo tsunageru nara
tada anata to dake yoru wo yarisugosetara
shinjirareru mono nado hitotsu mo nakute mo
futatsu no samishisa demo

anata to ikite yukeru

English Translation

I feel like I’ve wandered into a strange country
Everyone speaks in the language of embellished lies
With no one to hold my hand
I’m struggling to find you

On the news of someone who has died
The kind people wept
At the sight of someone who crawled to live
They clucked their tongues

Where am I now?

You know…

I want to breathe with you
I want to swim through this world with you
Till we drift to some place faraway
Till we can laugh in a world we’ve never seen
If I could just hold hands only with you
If I could just endure the nights only with you
Even if there’s nothing to believe in
Even if we’re no more than two lonely things

I feel like I’ve been thrown out into the empty outer space
I got insensible to my surroundings
Like a baby whose umbilical cord has been cut
I’m biting at the loneliness I just learned

The tragedy that took place across the sea
People showed mercy to and sympathized with
And yet, they can hurt someone who speaks the same language
How can they laugh at that?

How can they say that they are “alive”?

No one can live alone
No one can bear the weight of grief alone
Shivering in the freezing building wind
Exhaling to warm my numb heart
If I could be a little kinder than I am now
If I were not afraid to connect with someone
Even if I’m tormented by invisible malices
Even if I’m not right

Across that moon river
Little by little we go, wandering
Because I want to see many worlds with you

I don’t need a signpost
With you next to me
And I’m right here

I want to breathe with you
I want to swim through this world with you
Till we drift to some place faraway
Till we can laugh in a world we’ve never seen
If I could just hold hands only with you
If I could just endure the nights only with you
Even if there’s nothing to believe in
Even if we’re no more than two lonely things

With you, I can live
