非公式の英訳/Unofficial translation

The rain fell in large drops
and a serenade bloomed with a back tinge.
It was in full bloom (and at that moment)
the mist began to vanish.

If this feeling is love,
then people cannot love without falsehoods.
They hide their feelings and cannot say them.
I was too slow to realise it.
My words won’t reach anymore.

This tiny world makes a sound
and even if someday
it crumbles away
I won’t lose anything. I won’t surrender you
or the things I feel right now.

I’m alone now,
but those times will be left in the past.
You’re right here (Here in this world)
That’s the future I’ll create.

If this feeling is a sin,
then what sort of blame should people bear?
I lose everything and understand everything
and I finally return to where I started.
I don’t regret the life I’ve lived.

Though I look over this tiny world,
always, yes, always
you’re the only one who isn’t there.
I head to my personal miniature garden.
The one who locked it was an unknown visitor. Ah…

If God exists, then I don’t want them to do anything
because I wish for nothing.
All I want is for them
to burn me into their memories.

In this tiny world,
I was the only one
who kept chasing dreams.
The traces of my tears will never fade.
Dyed black, everything became one
and disappeared.

In this broken world, someone was distorted.
Was it you? Or me?
It doesn’t matter either way.
Only this sin, this impurity,
is something I wouldn’t forgive even if someone else did.
I won’t surrender it to anyone.
