縄跳び || Skipping Rope

歌詞

もう 遠くに 遠くに 夢は描けない
もう さよなら さよなら さよなら
もう よしなに よしなに 後始末をして
もう さよなら さよなら 忘れて

欺いても欺いても欺けない運命の山
自分以外 所詮他人 生きている間は

命の光を夜空に投げて暗闇を照らし泣いた
失くしてしまえば もう失くさない
冷たい体を抱いた

届かずに兎角に追いかけた影は
もうとっくに とっくに触れてた
生やかに けやかに残るこの姿
戻れない世界にさよなら

何が善で何が邪か天は何を見てるのやら
冷たい手を握りしめた 握り返す貴女

空白に思えるほどに永く
いつも二人で笑った
醒めてる視線を縄跳びにして
日が暮れるまで遊んだ
命の光を夜空に投げて暗闇を照らし泣いた
失くしてしまえば もう失くさない
冷たい体を抱いた

Translation

I cannot picture that distant dream in my mind.
Goodbye, farewell, goodbye…
As you see fit, suitably sort out my affairs.
Goodbye, farewell. Forget me…

The lives of those who aren’t me – unrelated people, after all –
Are a mountain of fate, which cannot be deceived, though they struggle.

I cast the light of life into the night sky. It illuminated the darkness, and I cried.
I lost you once before, but I won’t lose you again.
I embraced your cold corpse.

I pursued your silhouette without reaching you,
Though I had already touched you, long ago.
Your figure, left behind whilst you were so young, so beautiful,
Bade farewell to the world it could not return to.

What is good? What is evil? What might the heavens be gazing upon?
I grabbed your cold hand. You squeezed back.

For a long time, whilst in that blank space,
We always laughed together.
Upon waking, we made a skipping rope with our lines of sight
And played until the sun set.
I cast the light of life into the night sky. It illuminated the darkness, and I cried.
I lost you once before, but I won’t lose you again.
I embraced your cold corpse.
