These lyrics are quite different to the stuff I’m used to, which makes me appreciate the fact that not all lyricists are the same. It seems like the speaker in this song is Parsee, though some stanzas are more obscure…
歌詞
遠くまで架かる 橋の上
両手拡げて 上手く均衡取りながら 歩く
深く 霧で見えない 向こう岸まで
辿り着いて 消えていった
影を 白く残して
滞ることなく 流れる
この水の色は 何よりも
透き通っていて
どこまでも澄んだ 君の眼は
その純粋を いつまでも
深く 写した
汚れて行く弱さを ただ見つめて
変わっていく姿を
抱きしめられず 嘆いた
愛する人よ そのままでいて
白は 何かに染まる為に あると言うけど
そのまま…
時として 揺れる 橋の上
足滑らせて 始めて見えるものもあるはず
堕ちて行く 水の中
呼吸を 止めて
廻らす 記憶の中
君の事を 想って
汚れて行く弱さを ただ見つめて
委ねている姿に 瞼 塞いだ
どこまでも澄んだ 君の眼は
その純粋を 何よりも
深く 写した
静かに…

Translation
The bridge reaches into the distance. Atop it,
I spread both hands out and walk, keeping my balance.
The far shore cannot be seen in the deep fog.
Struggling along, I reached it and vanished
Leaving a white shadow behind.
The water flows on, without stagnating.
It is transparent,
More so than anything else.
Your eyes were completely clear.
They imitated the water’s purity deep within
For eternity.
I just gaze at my weakness as it becomes polluted.
My body begins to change,
And I am not embraced by you. I grieve.
O, one that I love – stay as you are,
Though it is said that white only exists to be dyed by something.
Stay as you are…
Sometimes, the bridge sways. I am atop it.
If I let my feet slip, there must be something I will see for the first time.
I begin to fall into the water.
I stop breathing.
I look back over my memories,
Thinking of you.
I just gaze at my weakness as it becomes polluted.
I closed my eyes to that figure, offering themselves up.
Your eyes were completely clear.
They imitated the water’s purity deep within
More than anything else.
Silently…
Releska
