空(そら)と地上(ちじょう)つなぐ airport 向(む)かう夜更(よふ)け
In the deep of night, I head to the airport joining sky and earth
外灯(がいとう)のない海岸(かいがん)沿(ぞ)い走(はし)らせてた
Driving along a shore with no streetlights
 
 
手(て)探(さぐ)る闇(やみ)の中(なか)求(もと)めていたものは
What I grope for in the dark
破滅(はめつ)に似(に)た優(やさ)しい日々(ひび)すべてを変(か)えるような
Is a tender time, almost destructive, that can change everything
 
 
destiny or mystery 流(なが)れた時(とき)はもう
Fate is a mystery; the time that's passed
長(なが)い夜(よる) 揺(ゆ)れる記憶(きおく) たとえば夢(ゆめ)の合間(あいま)
Becomes a memory swaying in the long night, like a gap in a dream
 
 
それは八月(はちがつ)の夜(よる)のこと
It was one night in August
まるで星(ほし)は雨(あめ)のよう
The stars seemed like rain
届(とど)かぬ輝(かがや)きがまた消(き)える
Another unreachable light disappears
空(そら)を眺(なが)めて過(す)ごした
I just keep looking up at the sky
 
 
無数(むすう)の言葉(ことば)の中(なか)で何(なに)も
Among countless words
選(えら)べずにスベテを捨(す)てた
I couldn't choose even one, so I let them all go
あの日(ひ)の心地(ここち)よさに抱(だ)かれて
Held close by the ease of that day
なぜ涙(なみだ)はおちてくの
Why do the tears keep falling?
 
 
夜空(よぞら)零(こぼ)れ落(お)ちる大切(たいせつ)な何(なに)かを
As if to protect
守(まも)ろうとして繋(つな)いだ手(て)を離(はな)してたみたい
Something precious falling from the night sky, we let go of the hands we were holding
 
 
reality or fantasy 廻(まわ)りあう時(とき)には
Reality or fantasy—when we met
愛(いと)しさ やさしさ もどかしさに潜(ひそ)む
It was hidden inside love, tenderness, and impatience
 
 
それは八月(はちがつ)の夜(よる)のこと
It was one night in August
眠(ねむ)りよりも不思議(ふしぎ)な
Stranger than sleep
温(ぬく)もりに包(つつ)まれる夢(ゆめ)の夜(よる)
A dream night wrapped in warmth
クチナシの甘(あま)い香(かお)り
The sweet fragrance of gardenias
 
 
心(こころ)を傷(きず)つけることなしに
If I don't let my heart be hurt
心(こころ)に触(ふ)れること出来(でき)ず
I can't touch another heart
何一(なにひと)つ守(まも)れずにいるような
As if I can't protect anything at all
無力(むりょく)さにのまれる夜(よる)
A night swallowed by helplessness
何処(どこ)までも深(ふか)い夜空(よぞら)
The night sky stretches on without end
