Winding Road

歌詞

幽かな吐息から伝わる君の不安
白亜に呑まれた小さな震える指を
宥めるようにそっと引き寄せてみても
駄目だと意地を張る生意気な声

「一人で大丈夫」
本当は怖いくせに
優しく振り払う手が頼もしく見えて
まだまだ子供だと思っていた背中も
こうして大人へと変わってくのかな

寂しいと縋れば困った顔しても
お人好し　きっと引き返すだろう
それが君にとって残酷なことだと
わかっている　だから今は
零さないように隠さなきゃ

※
さあ　前を向いて歩いてごらん
君はただ自分の未来を信じて
二人が進む道は違うけれど
また会う日まで私を忘れずにいてね

今でもわからない　自分の心の奥
何かを成そうと思えずただただ生きて
いつかは漠然とした日々も晴れると
呑気に構えては逃げ続けてた

気が付いた時には君は遠く離れて
届かない　いくら手を伸ばしても
一人が怖いのは私の方なんだ
だけど未だ見付からない
道標なんて見えないよ

もう行き先がわからなくたって
私はこの船にしか乗れないんだ
行く航路が君の選んだ船と
たとえ正反対に進むのだとしても

Translation

You gave a faint sigh, and I knew you felt uneasy.
Your faint, trembling fingers were chalk-white.
Though I tried to calm you by drawing you close,
It was no use. I heard your obstinate, brazen voice…

“I’m fine alone.”
I said, though I was actually afraid.
The hands I gently shook off seemed reliable.
I thought you looked like a child from behind
But perhaps, like this, you’ll become an adult…

If I cling to you and tell you I’m lonely, then though you’ll seem troubled
You’ll turn back. You’re so gentlehearted…
For you, turning back would be something cruel.
I know that, so now
I need to hide my tears so they won’t spill forth.

※
Now, face forward and walk!
You believe in your own future.
Though we walk down different paths,
Don’t forget about me until we meet again!

I still can’t comprehend the depths of my heart.
I just keep living without thinking about what I want to be.
Optimistically preparing myself for when those vague days would clear up,
I continued to run away.

When I noticed it, you had gone far away from me.
I can’t reach you, no matter how far I reach out.
I’m the one who’s afraid of being alone
But I haven’t found you yet.
I can’t even see any signposts.

Though I no longer know where it’s going,
I can only ride upon this boat
Even if it travels on a route
Opposite to that of the boat you chose.
