風(かぜ)がとまり言葉(ことば)が途切(とぎ)れた間(あいだ)に二人(ふたり)見(み)たもの
When the wind stopped and our words fell quiet, what did we see?
変(か)わる季節(きせつ)に戸惑(とまど)う弱気(よわき)は醒(さ)めぬ恋心(こいごころ)か
Is this timid, unawake love, lost as the seasons change?
 
 
夕陽(ゆうひ)に染(そ)まる海(うみ)の色(いろ) 君(きみ)の揺(ゆ)れる髪(かみ)嗚呼(ああ) 焼(や)きつけた
The sunset-red sea, your swaying hair—ah, etched deep in my heart
 
 
別(わか)れにはならない言葉(ことば)を探(さが)しても夢(ゆめ)みる時(とき)を
Even if I search for words that won't lead to parting, even if I draw things out
延(の)ばしてもつれて 迷(まよ)いの時(とき)を彷徨(さまよ)うだけでも
In the end, our dreaming hours tangle up, and I wander in confusion
今(いま)は嗚呼(ああ)
Even now, still, ah—
 
 
恋(こい)のあいまに見上(みあ)げる空(そら)
In the pause between love, the sky I look up at
何故(なぜ)こんなにも儚(はかな)くて遠(とお)い
Why does it seem so fleeting and far away?
そうね 心(こころ)は何(なに)よりも自由(じゆう)で とどまらぬ
Yes, the heart is freer than anything; it won't stay
 
 
止(や)まぬ涙(なみだ)の訳(わけ)は君(きみ)恋(こい)しさか 人恋(ひとこい)しさか
Do I keep crying because I miss you, or because I simply long for someone beside me?
 
 
ほんのひととき振(ふ)り返(かえ)るつもりが想(おも)いは嗚呼(ああ)
I meant to look back for only a moment, but my thoughts, ah,
尽(つ)き果(は)てぬ
Go on without end
 
 
あてもなく終(お)わりゆくものを大切(たいせつ)に仕舞(しま)おうとしたり
I try to treasure the things that have nowhere to go and are slowly ending
つなぐ何(なに)かをさがしたりしてる
Or search for something that can connect us
わり切(き)れぬ心(こころ)は何処(どこ)へゆく
Where will this restless heart go?
 
 
恋(こい)の終(おわ)りに寄(よ)り添(そ)う時(とき)
At the end of love, when we lean against each other
何故(なぜ)いつまでも頼(たよ)り無(な)く惑(まど)う
Why am I still uneasy and lost?
愛(いと)しさだけじゃわかり合(あ)えぬこと知(し)りました
At last I understand that love alone can't make us understand each other
見(み)えぬ海(うみ)の彼方(かなた) 想(おも)いを馳(は)せるように
Like longing for the unseen far side of the sea
 
 
恋(こい)の後(あと)には通(とお)りすぎる
After love, only a passing
面影(おもかげ)だけがいつまでも揺(ゆ)れ
Silhouette keeps swaying
振(ふ)り返(かえ)らずに生(い)きてはゆけぬ様(よう) 誘(さそ)い込(こ)む
Calling me back, as if I can no longer live without looking back
