First appeared on THE TWILIGHT VALLEY · 5th album · 2006

旅(たび)の途中(とちゅう)ね 君(きみ)はいつも怯(おび)え
Along the journey, you are always afraid
情熱(じょうねつ)はそうね 手(て)におえないもので
Passion is truly hard to control
 
 
どこまでも歩(ある)いてゆこうと
No matter how far I want to go
離(はな)れられないのに
I can never leave
 
 
向日葵(ひまわり)の色(いろ) 黄金(おうごん)に塗(ぬ)りつぶした
Paint everything golden with the color of sunflowers
哀(かな)しみに光(ひか)りあてるように
As if light could shine into sorrow
見(み)つめたのはその魂(たましい)ね
What you gaze at—that must be the soul
形(かたち)は眩(まぶ)しい光(ひかり)にのまれてく
Its form is swallowed by dazzling light
 
 
向日葵(ひまわり) ヒマワリ もっと咲(さ)いて
Sunflower, sunflower, bloom even more
夏(なつ)の間中(あいだじゅう)ただ揺(ゆ)れるがいい
All summer long, just sway in the sun
人々(ひとびと)を誘(さそ)い照(て)りつける
Toward the sunlight that draws everyone in
日差(ひざ)しに向(む)かい果(は)てる
And shines so hot, head for the end
 
 
澄(す)み切(き)った空(そら)は 畏(おそ)れさえ与(あた)えた
The clear sky is even awe-inspiring
求(もと)めてたんだ 幼気(いたいけ)なその瞳(め)で
You once sought it with those innocent eyes
 
 
足跡(あしあと)を残(のこ)す為(ため)だけに
Are we only going on
歩(ある)き続(つづ)けたの
So we can leave behind our footprints?
 
 
向日葵(ひまわり)の色(いろ) 黄金(おうごん)に塗(ぬ)りつぶした
Paint everything golden with the color of sunflowers
そこに光(ひか)りがあるかのように
As if there were light there
重(かさ)ねたのはその心(こころ)です
Layer upon layer, the heart rises up
覆(おお)い隠(かく)せない (ah-) 輝(かがや)きとともに
Along with its radiance, impossible to hide
 
 
宿(やど)した狂気(きょうき)が息(いき)をひそめ
The madness hidden in your heart is silent
生(い)きる術(すべ)をなくしたように
As if you'd lost the way to keep living
もう何(なに)も生(う)まぬその筆(ふで)を
That pen that can no longer draw a thing—
置(お)く日(ひ)を選(えら)んだの…？
Was there a day you chose to lay it down…?
 
 
向日葵(ひまわり)の色(いろ) 黄金(おうごん)に塗(ぬ)りつぶした
Paint everything golden with the color of sunflowers
哀(かな)しみに光(ひか)りあてるように
As if light could shine into sorrow
見(み)つめたのはその魂(たましい)ね
What you gaze at—that must be the soul
形(かたち)は眩(まぶ)しい光(ひかり)にのまれてく
Its form is swallowed by dazzling light
 
 
向日葵(ひまわり) ヒマワリ もっと咲(さ)いて
Sunflower, sunflower, bloom even more
夏(なつ)の間中(あいだじゅう)ただ揺(ゆ)れるがいい
All summer long, just sway in the sun
人々(ひとびと)を誘(さそ)い照(て)りつける
In the sunlight that draws everyone in
日差(ひざ)しの中(なか)果(は)てる
And shines so hot, head for the end
