歌詞

いつか、いつかのぼくらは移ろう時に拒まれ
ぼくの、ぼくらの言葉はひらりひらりと伝われ。

君が忘れたむかしの　しろいひかりを描いて
ゆれてつたわる水面のいろを思い出すために
ふわり、浮かんだ涙の行先もまだ知らずに
捨てて捨てられ、ぼくらは忘れ、忘れた日常

消えたひかりのその下で君はうずくまって笑う
吐き出した言葉浮かべて、はらりはらり夢を紡ぐ
歩き疲れたきみの背を僕は荒れた手で叩いた
「あぁ、もうやめろ。もうやめてよ。」
そろそろ君もつかれたろう？

ぱらり　ぱらり　パズルのように、ぽたり　ぽたり　ばらばらになる
ぴかり　ぴかり「眩しすぎるよ」
さらり　さらり　影が拡がる

もういいかい？僕は訪ねる
もういいよ。君は答える
もういいかい？もういいよ。
繰り返す度きみの声は遠くなってく

いつかの、いつかのぼくらの、きみが忘れてるむかしの
歩き続けるきみの声、どうか、どうか、きみに繋がれ。

Translation

Someday, we’ll be rejected by changing time.
My words—our words—will be passed on, one by one.

I imagine the white light from your forgotten past
so I can remember the colours rippling along the water’s surface.
I don’t know where my gently forming tears will go yet.
Abandoning and being abandoned, we forget our daily lives.

You crouch and smile beneath the light that disappeared.
I recall the words you spat out and gently spin together a dream.
You were tired from walking. I wildly struck your back.
“Ah, cut it out. Cut it out already!”
You’re tired too, right?

Sprinkling down like puzzle pieces… Scattering, drop by drop…
Brilliantly, “It’s too bright!”
The shadow sleekly extends.

“Ready?” I ask.
“Ready!” You answer.
“Ready?” “Ready!”
Each time we repeat it, your voice gets further away.

You’ve forgotten about the past we once spent together.
Please, please, I hope that as you continue to walk, your voice will be tied to you.
