This was another tough song to interpret. The thing that makes this one so hard is the inconsistent use of the word ‘I.’ You’ve got 僕 (boku, masculine ‘I’), and you’ve got 私 (watashi, feminine yet mostly gender neutral ‘I’). See if you can spot where the different ones are used. What could this mean? Perhaps this song is actually told from two different perspectives…
歌詞
幼い頃交わした 約束を覚えてるかな?
目を背けてた事だった
僕が線を描いて 私が色を塗る事が
楽しかったと思っていたはずが
いつも通りの事が出来なくなって
今をどう描いていいかも分からなく
全て壊れてしまった日常には
塗り替えれないから
今をがむしゃらに 描いていくんだ
カラフルカラフルパステル
君と世界を繋ぐ色になる
どう塗ればいいかな?
あなたの好きな様に描いてみて
カラフルカラフルパステル
君は世界を救う色になる
もう戻れなくても
この手が動く限り描いてく
Right now
色を失った僕
My colors lost in my head
You say
止まってちゃだめだよまだ
But now
あなたなら大丈夫だから
色んな色を君は持っていたね
色褪せない この不思議なパステル
幼い頃交わした 約束果たせなくて
目を閉じてた 今開く時なんだね
線を書いて 線をなぞって
私はこの色を守っていくんだね
さぁ 僕が気づいたこの答えを
一枚の絵画に描き続け
「ここは赤で、そこは青で」
彼女の声が聞こえた気がした
カラフルカラフルパステル
君と世界を繋ぐ色になる
こう塗ればいいんだね?
あなたの好きな様に描いてみて
カラフルカラフルパステル
君と世界を救う色になる
もう止まらないから
だからもう大丈夫だから
私の中の答えを
このパステルで描き続け
僕が描いたこの答えを
あなたに見せたかったけど
これからもずっとそばで
見守ってくれるのかな?
世界でたった1つだけの
存在をここに描くよ

Translation
Do you remember the promise we made when we were young?
I’ve been avoiding it.
I drew a line and I painted.
It was supposed to be a fun memory, but…
I can no longer do the usual things.
I don’t know how to paint things now.
Everything has been destroyed in my daily life.
I can’t repaint it
so now I’m going to paint things recklessly.
Colourful, colourful pastel.
These colours will connect you and the world.
How should I paint it?
I’ll try and paint in a style you like.
Colourful, colourful pastel.
You will become a colour that will save the world.
Even if I can’t get you back,
I’ll paint for as long as my hands can move.
Right now,
I had lost my colours.
My colours lost in my head.
You say
“You can’t stop just yet!”
But now…
You’ll be fine.
You had a lot of colours, didn’t you?
These wonderful pastels don’t fade.
I couldn’t fulfil the promise we made when we were kids
and my eyes were closed. Now, it’s time for me to open them…
I draw a line. I trace along a line.
I’m going to protect these colours!
Well, I realised the answer
and I’ll continue to draw my picture.
“Colour this area red, and that area blue.”
I felt like I could hear her voice.
Colourful, colourful pastel.
These colours will connect you and the world.
It’s fine to paint it like this, right?
I’ll try and paint in a style you like.
Colourful, colourful pastel.
These colours will save you and the world.
I can’t stop anymore
so things will be fine.
I’ll continue to draw
the answer inside me with these pastels.
I wanted to show you
the answer I drew,
But I wonder if you’ll be there by my side
protecting me from now on?
I’ll draw you, unique in this whole world,
Right here.
