コモレビ || Sunlight Filtering Through the Trees

歌詞

眩しい日向にうんざりして
深山の川辺を独りで往く

極彩の天蓋　その向こうへ

梢の合間を　擦り抜ける陽の光に
何故かこみ上げるのは　遠いあの日の寂寞

流れる水の音に混ざって
葉擦れが耳の奥を擽る

心地よい音さえ　物悲しい

歩を進めるたび　懐かしさが胸を打つ
もう今は還れない　遠いあの日の後悔

嗚呼どれだけ隠しても　零れる心
通り過ぎてしまった　幼い私

夢を観ていたの　在りし日のあの風景を
木洩れ日が降り注ぐ　色を孕むこの場所で
振り返りはしない　一歩を確かめるように
私はここにいると　生き続けているのだと

Translation

In my bright, sunny spot, I’m bored.
I walk all alone on the riverside, deep in the mountains.

I head beyond the richly-coloured canopy.

In the sunlight, which slips through the gaps in the treetops,
The loneliness of a distant day wells up inside me for some reason.

The rustling of the leaves, mixed in with the sounds of the flowing water,
Tickles the inside of my ears.

Even pleasant sounds are melancholy.

Each time I step forward, nostalgia beats against me.
I can’t go back now. I feel the remorse of a distant day.

Aah… no matter how much I hide it, my heart becomes visible.
My youthful self passed by me in the end…

I was dreaming of that landscape, during the days of yore.
The sunlight filtered through the trees there, swollen with colours.
So I can be sure of my progress, I will not turn back.
I am here. I continue to live.
