Coupling song of album “Sono saki e”
KANJI
降り続ける雨の音が 少し切なくさせても
無我夢中で駆け抜けた 足跡は消せない
大切なこと伝える時 優しくいたいと
一人で抱えきれずに 回り道してきたこと
全部集めて
すれ違う未来と過去の間で
迷いながら 灯したい願いを
たとえそれが小さい光としても
信じて静かに守りたい
指先で綴る感情 ひとりよがりの日常
取り繕う笑顔さえ 忘れてしまいそうで
傷つくことを言い訳して 立ち止まるよりも
少しずつでもいいから 曲がりくねるような日々を
今は見つめて
すれ違う時間と人の間で
悩みながら 見つけたい答えを
足元に差し込む陽だまりのような
心はいつでもあるはず
すれ違う未来と過去の間で
迷いながら 灯したい願いを
たとえそれが小さい光としても
信じて静かに守りたい
信じて静かに守りたい

TRANSLATION
The continuous sound of rain makes me feel a bit blue
But it doesn’t wash away the footprints on the path where I’d run full force
The desire to be kind when conveying something important to me
The detours I took because I couldn’t shoulder everything alone
I gather all of it in my arms
Within the spaces of mismatched futures and the past
There’s a wish that I want to shine light on even as I fumble around
That light may be small but nevertheless
I want to believe in it and quietly protect it
The feelings that I could spell out with my fingers, the days of self-satisfaction
Even times I kept up appearances with a fake smile, I am almost forgetting
Instead of using hurt feelings as an excuse and putting a stop to my life,
Right now I want to gaze on the twisting turning days ahead
Even if it takes a little bit at a time
Within the spaces of mismatched time and people
There’s an answer that I want to find even as I fumble around
Like a sunny spot shining at my feet
I should always find my heart there
Within the spaces of mismatched futures and the past
There’s a wish that I want to shine light on even as I fumble around
That light may be small but nevertheless
I want to believe in it and quietly protect it
I want to believe in it and quietly protect it
