走(はし)り出(だ)したら通(とお)り雨(あめ)
A sudden shower caught us just as we started to run
もう一休(ひとやす)みしてる
So we had to stop and rest again
待(ま)ちきれない君(きみ)は飛(と)び出(だ)して
You couldn't wait and dashed off
振(ふ)り返(かえ)りもせずに
Without even looking back
 
 
信号(しんごう)が変(か)わる一瞬(いっしゅん)の間(ま)に
In the instant the traffic light changed
もう離(はな)れ離(ばな)れ
We were already separated
 
 
柔(やわ)らかな愛(あい)が君(きみ)に届(とど)くかな
Can this gentle love reach you?
涙(なみだ)隠(かく)して泳(およ)いでゆく Jewel Fish
Jewel fish, swimming ahead with tears hidden away
世界(せかい)人口(じんこう) 60億(おく) 嫌(いや)になっちゃうな
There are six billion people in the world—it's exhausting
君(きみ)に何度(なんど)でも恋(こい)してる
Yet again and again, you're the one I fall in love with
夢(ゆめ)を描(えが)くなら二人(ふたり)がいい
If we're going to dream, it's better with two
待(ま)ち合(あ)わせは波(なみ)の向(む)こう see you again
Let's meet beyond the waves—goodbye
 
 
実際(じっさい)出逢(であ)った時(とき)はお互(たが)い
At the moment we met
何(なに)か感(かん)じた筈(はず)で
I think we both felt something
現実(げんじつ)逃避(とうひ)してもみえない
Even if I run from reality, I can't see
面影(おもかげ) 成長(せいちょう)しない
The figure in my memory never grows up
 
 
いつか生(う)まれ故郷(こきょう)に帰(かえ)る jewel fish(きみ) も
Someday, even the jewel fish that returns home
大海(たいかい)へ出(で)て暮(く)らす
Will leave home and live in the sea
 
 
雨(あめ)の日(ひ)は雨(あめ)の晴(は)れた日(ひ)は晴(は)れの
When it rains, live as rain; when the sun shines, live as sunshine
過(す)ごし方(かた)でいい泳(およ)いでゆく Jewel Fish
That's enough—jewel fish, swimming on
 
 
世界(せかい)の何処(どこ)にいたって僕(ぼく)らは
Wherever in the world we are, we
星屑(ほしくず)よりも小(ちい)さくて
Are smaller than stardust
そして大(おお)きすぎる夢(ゆめ)もみれる
Yet we can dream too big
砂漠(さばく)もゆく君(きみ)のシルエット so cute
Your figure crossing even the desert is so lovely
 
 
引(ひ)き金(がね)は腕(うで)の中(なか)で
The trigger lies in the crook of my arm
 
 
ありがちな絶望(ぜつぼう)感(かん)に形(かたち)を変(か)えて
Turn it into ordinary despair
目隠(めかく)ししたまま雨(あめ)にうたれてる
Blindfolded, let the rain soak me
誰(だれ)も未来(みらい)をまだ知(し)らないで
Because no one knows what the future holds
此処(ここ)にいるから希望(きぼう)抱(だ)いてゆける
Standing here, I can keep walking with hope
 
 
届(とど)かない愛(あい)を胸(むね)に抱(だ)いていて
Holding the love I couldn't convey inside
生(い)きてきた証(あかし)に変(か)えてゆける?
Can I turn it into proof that I once lived?
いつか少(すこ)しでも
I hope someday, even just a little more
君(きみ)のいないこれからの日(ひ)に
In the days ahead without you
優(やさ)しくなれるように
I can become kinder
bury at sea
Bury me in the sea
bury at sea for me
Please bury me in the sea
