泡沫と繭 || Bubbles on the Water and a Cocoon

歌詞

花に夕闇　影踏み
ひとり遊ぶなぐさみ
春には捨てるよ

月に群雲　薄紅
君を探す小路に
ひとひらの桜

迷い戸惑い　斜向かい
片手を振るこどもは
わたしを知らない

時をうつろい　いざない
狭間わたる印象残して
きみは眠る

泡沫　晴嵐ささやく梢
藍染めの帯解ける
いつかもきみは笑い
この弱い声探しあててくれた

片手に触れても薄い繭の裏
届かないばかりで
涯までつれてって、なんて言わないから
そばで花開くまで待っていたいと　ただひとつ
憧れた日々の音が青く遠く記憶から幽むの

Translation

Dusk is upon the flowers. I tread on shadows
and play alone to pass the time.
Come spring, I will cast them away.

Gathering clouds are upon the moon, dyed light pink.
In the lane where I search for you,
a sakura petal falls.

I wander in confusion, and diagonally opposite
a child waves.
They do not know me.

Time invites change,
leaving behind an impression of crossing a threshold.
You sleep.

Bubbles are on the surface. The mountain vapor whispers in the treetops.
I loosen my indigo-dyed obi.
Once day, you will smile.
You searched for my weak voice.

Though I touch your hand, you are in a thin cocoon
just out of reach.
After all, I won’t tell you to lead me to the horizon.
All I’ll say is “I want to wait by your side until the flowers blossom.”
The sounds of the days I longed for grow dim in my blue, distant memories.
