いつかの未来よさようなら || Farewell, O Distant Future

歌詞

始まりはいつだか忘れてしまう程の昔話
実も虚も質が詰まっていると境目分からなくて

例えば貴女が南の魔女で私が西の悪い魔女で
二人は同じ大学に通い同じ人を愛す
異形の心優しき私は周りに理解されなくても
固く結んだ絆は友情　史実と違っても

そんな過去の思い出ちらほら
夢なのか現実なのか曖昧で
貴女の視る違う世界を
覗けるのは嬉しいのだけれど

エッセイも体験談も全て本当にあったお話

例えば周りが私は悪で貴女を正義と決めたなら
そんな世界もまあ悪くないしむしろ待ち遠しい

そんな過去の思い出ちらほら
夢なのか現実なのか曖昧で
貴女の視る違う世界を
覗けるのは嬉しいのだけれど

物語は生命の轍
産声をあげたときから始まって
いつか息を引き取る日まで
全部全部大事な一枝

二人にしか分からないように
二人だけのために本を作ろうよ
いつか情報が無価値になって
笑いながら読んでくれるように

Translation

This is a tale so old I’ve forgotten when it began.
It’s so full of truth, lies, and substance I can’t tell the difference anymore…

Let’s say that you’re the witch of the south, and I’m the wicked witch of the west.
We went to the same college, and we loved the same person.
I was a freak with a kind heart and I wasn’t understood by anyone around me.
Still, a firm bond of friendship existed between us, though history says otherwise.

My memories of those days are sparse.
Whether it was a dream or reality is unclear,
Though I was glad I had the chance
To look at the world through your eyes.

Essays and narratives are all tales of hings that really happened.

If, say, everyone around us decided that I was wicked, and you were good…
Well, such a world wouldn’t be bad. Instead, I’d be looking forward to it!

My memories of those days are sparse.
Whether it was a dream or reality is unclear,
Though I was glad I had the chance
To look at the world through your eyes.

Stories are the tracks left behind during life.
They begin from a baby’s first cries,
And continue ‘till we breathe our last.
They are all precious boughs of a single tree.

I’ll write a book for just the two of us
So only we will understand.
Its information will be worthless someday,
But I’ll write it so you can read it with a smile…
