First appeared on まぼろし · 23rd single · 2006

歩道(ほどう)の向(む)こう 夕焼(ゆうや)けに染(そ)まる
The far side of the sidewalk is dyed by the sunset
人々(ひとびと)はそう 帰(かえ)る場所(ばしょ)があるのでしょう
Those people must have somewhere they can return to
 
 
幼(おさな)い日々(ひび)にみてた夢(ゆめ)の中(なか)に
The place I dreamed of as a child
もう辿(たど)り着(つ)けないこと何処(どこ)かで知(し)ってる
I can no longer reach it; somewhere inside, I already knew
 
 
短(みじか)い夜(よる)が僕(ぼく)を受(う)け入(い)れて
The brief night takes me in
穏(おだ)やかにみえる時(とき)を与(あた)えてくれる
And gives me a moment that seems peaceful
 
 
日々(ひび)が何(なに)かを知(し)る為(ため)だけに
As if we're only trying to learn something from the passing days
毎日(まいにち)を暮(く)らし 時(とき)を重(かさ)ねてゆく様(よう)
We live each day, letting time pile up
 
 
いつか感(かん)じられた温(ぬく)もりなら たしか
That warmth I once felt
永遠(えいえん)だと思(おも)っていた “まぼろし”
I really thought it would last forever—but it was only an “illusion”
 
 
when you live in the night
When you live in the night
remember my voice
Remember my voice
waiting to be fill
And wait to be made whole
 
 
碧(あお)くあふれていたあの海(うみ)なら
The sea that once overflowed with deep blue
はるか昔(むかし)のことでした 遠(とお)き“まぼろし”
That was long ago—a distant “illusion”
 
 
愛(あい)を知(し)らない子供(こども)達(たち)が流(なが)す 涙(なみだ)
The tears shed by children who never knew love
ほら国境(こっきょう)を越(こ)えて川(かわ)をつくった
Look, they cross the borders and join into a river
空(そら)はあかく染(そ)まって
The sky turns red
帰(かえ)る道(みち)“まぼろし”
The way home is an “illusion”
