Song for you

歌詞

真白な光に包まれ消えて朽ち果てた
君の眼差しを僕は忘れない。
最期のその時間まで優しい君であったことを
僕はずっとずっと覚えているから。

初めて出逢ったあの日
一目で君に惹かれたんだ。
戸惑う表情が見たくって
からかってみたりもしたよね

こんな思い出話、今では悲しいだけだね。

真っ直ぐ生きて、だけど不器用だった君を
人はみんな可笑しいと馬鹿にした。
でもね、僕は一瞬を大切に生きていく君の
そんな生き方がとても好きだった。

世界で一番弱くって
世界で一番強かった
君は毎晩ひとりきり
悔しくて泣いていたよね。

何を言っても君に響かない日々が続いた。

真白な光に包まれ消えて朽ち果てた
君の眼差しを僕は忘れない。
最期のその時間まで優しい君であったことを
僕はずっとずっと覚えているから。

真っ直ぐ生きて、だけど不器用だった君を
人はみんな可笑しいと馬鹿にした。
でもね僕は最期まで真剣に生き抜いた君の
そんな生き方を永遠に愛してた。

Translation

Enveloped in white light, you vanished and decayed away.
I won’t forget how you looked at me.
I will always, always remember
That you stayed kind till the moment you died.

On the day we first met,
I was attracted to you from a single glance.
I wanted to see you when you were bewildered
So I thought I’d tease you, and stuff like that.

But now, talking about the past like this just makes me feel sad.

You lived honestly yet you were clumsy.
Everyone made fun of you, calling you ‘strange.’
But I really loved the way you lived.
You kept living, treasuring each moment.

You were the weakest in the world
Yet you were also the strongest.
Every night, all alone,
You cried in frustration.

Those days continued, and nothing I said would reach you.

Enveloped in white light, you vanished and decayed away.
I won’t forget how you looked at me.
I will always, always remember
That you stayed kind till the moment you died.

You lived honestly yet you were clumsy.
Everyone made fun of you, calling you ‘strange.’
But I always loved the way you lived.
You survived earnestly until the very end.
