イカロスと燐光 || Icarus and Phosphorescence

窓際　定位置から眺めている
空を風がそよぐ　髪は湿る

笑えない　落ちたイカロス
そもそもぼくら
飛べない者ばかりじゃないか

広げた翼　信じられない神話
無謀な賭けだとしても
あなただけ　ひとり屈しなかった

眩しいあなたを　視れない代わりに
その羽ばたきに嫉妬する世界を見ていた
ふしぎね
目に映る有様を
生まれてはじめてくだらないと思えた
残像が視界を舞う

太陽に背を向けては安堵してた
ひとの言葉ばかり　甘えてたね

笑わない　挫けたあなた
折れた心も　灼けた翼も

骨張った手が　固めた拳
日陰でふるえていた
夜を耐え　朝待つ　蕾のように

凍てつく花弁を　この手で包もう
あなたと夜を共に耐えたいと願った
許して
誰よりもやさしいひと
生まれてはじめて相見えた神様
もういちど綻んで　花

与えられたものしか与えられない
呪いがどれだけの手を止めたか
どれほどに光を曇らせたか

与えられたものしか与えられない
それならば　ぼくらは　みな誰もが
光を与えられるはずでしょう？

ぼくらはいつだって注ぐ陽を
世界の反射光を　この眼で捉えてきた

なにが本当でもいい
誰も呪わなくていい
何も怖れなくていい

与えられたがってたものも
それを与えようとしたことも
祈りすべてはあなたの微笑み　世界の燐光

屈しないで　まなざし
折れてなお
光　宿して

ふたたび　見留めた姿に見染められた
あなたの笑みでまぶしい世界を見ていた
ふしぎね
目に映る様々を
生まれてはじめて「素敵だね」と交わせた
残照が世界を恋う

窓際　定位置からあなたを待つ
雲の上に太陽　笑みを照らす

Madogiwa teiichi kara nagamete iru

I’m looking out from my usual spot by the window.
The wind rustles and my hair is damp.

Icarus, the tragic fallen one.
Weren’t we the ones
who couldn’t even fly to begin with?

With wings outstretched, you were the figure of an incredible myth.
Even if it was an impulsive bet
you were the only one who didn’t give in.

Instead of being able to see your radiant form
I watched the world that envied your flapping wings.
How strange.
For the first time
the things before my eyes seemed boring.
Afterimages dance in my vision.

I turned my back to the sun and lived a sheltered life.
I only relied on what people told me.

You were miserable, having lost heart
with a broken heart and scorched wings.

Your thin hands clenched into a fist
and you were trembling in the shade.
Endure the night and wait for dawn like a bud.

I’ll gather the frozen petals in my hands.
I wished to endure the night with you.
Forgive me.
You are kinder than anyone else.
For the first time, I was face to face with God.
Open up once more, flower.

All we can give is what we’ve been given.
How many hands have curses stopped?
How much light have they clouded?

All we can give is what we’ve been given.
If that’s true, then we, then everyone else
must be able to give light, right?

We’ve always picked up the pouring sunshine
and the world’s reflected light with our eyes.

It doesn’t matter what’s true.
Nobody will need to curse us.
We won’t need to fear anything.

Even if I tried to give you
what you wanted to be given
all my prayers would be for your smile, the phosphorescence of the world.

Don’t give in. Though your gaze
may be broken,
light dwells within.

Once more, I was captivated by the figure I laid eyes on.
Through your smile, I was looking at a radiant world.
How strange.
For the first time in our lives
we could share our feelings about how wonderful everything is.
The afterglow loves the world.

I await you from my usual spot by the window.
The sun atop the clouds lights up a smile.
