Translation

We held hands and walked during that summer day,
And the scenery around us shimmered and swayed.
We were searching for the world’s borders.
I firmly squeezed your sweaty hand back.

“Where could those footprints be?”
I’m together with you, who smiled innocently.

Round and round… The sky’s blueness
Joins us together.
Let’s go even further away together!
We cut a circle around a star and sealed it away for ourselves
So we could continue to wander like this…

Following a dream somebody left behind,
I just travel round in circles, finding nothing but dead ends.
I tie together the borders of the worlds,
Searching for a definite guidepost to lead me to you.

“Let’s chase after those footprints!”
I can hear your innocent voice.

Round and round… Tomorrow, too,
Brings only days without you,
And I’m afraid that they’ll continue forever.
I scribble upon a pure whiteness
So I can drown in my memories.

“Until we can meet again, please don’t forget about me.”
It was a promise, or something like that.
I heard your voice. You smiled innocently.

Round and round… If the traces of where I have been
Someday become a star,
And if that star shone on you, then this time
I would tear you out and lock you away.
I don’t want you to go anywhere…

Round and round with you… The sky’s blueness
Joins us together.
Let’s go even further away together!
I scribble upon a pure whiteness,
Hoping that my feelings will reach you.
