青へ向かう || Heading Towards the Blue

歌詞

廃材と寧日
場末を彷徨っていた
君を拾ったんだ
曇天の向こうには
果てしない青があると
おとぎ話めいたのさ

君の手を引いて廃都市を歩いた
「次は何が見たい？」
青む空も知らないままの
君を連れてどこへ行こう

通り過ぎてゆけ最愛の歌よ
ゆくべき先を訪ねるように
この世界に花を手向けるように
逢魔の一刻を亡き者たちと踊ろうか

やがて来たるべき別れの日のために

終末と夕日
君は大きくなった
曇天の向こう側
果てしない青が見たいと
君は歩き出したのさ

「廃都市を東へ
平原の更なる奥地へゆけ
が鳴る冬季雷に跨って
あの積乱雲を目指せ」

通り過ぎてゆけ最愛の歌よ
ゆくべき先を訪ねるように
この世界に旗を立てるように
逢魔の一刻を亡き者たちと共にゆけ

やがて来たるべき別れを愛していよう

君を愛していた証は
この世界に君がいないことさ
溢れる歌声よ過ぎてゆけ
あの見送った日々を洗い流せ
君を愛していた証と
愛し切れなかった痕跡は
やがて来たるべき贖いの日を待っていた
「そろそろ僕の番だ」

通り過ぎてゆけ

通り過ぎてゆこう最愛の街を
ゆくべき先を訪ねるように
この世界の果てを見にゆこう
十一の餞別を手にもう一度旅に出よう

やがて来たるべき孤独の青へ向かう

Translation

Scrap wood and a peaceful day.
I was roaming around the outskirts of town
and I found you.
I told you that endless blue
lies beyond the cloudy sky
as if it was a fairy tale.

I took your hand and we walked around the city ruins.
“What do you want to see next?”
The blue sky is still unknown to you.
I lead you on. Where shall we go?

Pass on by, o beloved song,
So you may reach the place you must go.
So we may offer flowers to this world,
Shall we dance with the dead for a moment during the witching hour?

This is all done for the day when we will part, which must come eventually.

The end and the evening sun.
You had grown so big.
You said you wanted to see the endless blue
that lies beyond the cloudy sky
and you walked off.

“Head east from the city ruins
and head even further to the back of the plains.
Ride the howling winter lightning
and aim for the dark, tall clouds.”

Pass on by, o beloved song,
So you may reach the place you must go.
So you may raise a flag in this world,
Go with the dead during the witching hour!

I will love this parting, which must come eventually.The fact that you’re not here in this world
is proof that I loved you.
Pass on by, o overflowing singing,
And wash away the days I let pass.
The proof that I loved you
and the signs that I didn’t love you enough
were waiting for the day of atonement, which must come eventually.
“It’ll be my turn soon.”

Pass on by!

Let’s pass on by down these beloved streets
so we may call upon where we must go.
Let’s go to see the edge of this world.
With 11 parting gifts in hand, let’s go on a journey once more.

I will head towards the isolated blue, which must arrive eventually.
