First appeared on 風とRAINBOW / この手を伸ばせば · 24th single · 2007

真(ま)っ直(す)ぐにこの道(みち)を行(ゆ)けたなら何処(どこ)へ
If I kept going straight down this road
辿(たど)り着(つ)くというのでしょう…
Where would I end up…?
 
 
夢(ゆめ)・希望(きぼう)・願(ねが)い・祈(いの)り・そんなものが
Dreams, hope, wishes, prayers—
愛(あい)しあえた二人(ふたり)を別(わか)つこともある
Sometimes they drive two people in love apart
 
 
朱(あか)い夕焼(ゆうや)け 二人(ふたり)はみてた きっと離(はな)れても同(おな)じ空(そら)を
We once watched the crimson sunset together; even apart, we're surely looking at the same sky
あぁ限(かぎ)りなく 哀(かな)しみに似(に)た時(とき)を過(す)ごして
Ah, through days of sorrow that seem endless
伝(つた)えきれない思(おも)いをめぐらせて 廻(まわ)り道(みち)
I keep thinking of feelings I can't fully express, taking the long way around
 
 
「なんだ寝(ね)てたの?今日(きょう)は晴(は)れてるよ」なんて
“What, are you asleep? The weather's nice today.”
君(きみ)の声(こえ)まだ聞(き)こえそう
I can almost still hear your voice
 
 
記憶(きおく)の中(なか)だけに住(す)む人(ひと)だけど
Though you live only in my memories now
今(いま)も私(わたし)をそっと包(つつ)んでる
You still hold me gently
 
 
さぁ舞(ま)いあがれ 喜(よろこ)びに似(に)た時(とき)に騙(だま)され続(つづ)けてもいい
Come on, let's fly—even if we're fooled by days that only seem happy, that's all right
あの昼下(ひるさ)がり二人(ふたり)の時(とき)は流(なが)れることを止(と)めてしまった
That afternoon, time stopped for us
離(はな)れるばかりの廻(まわ)り道(みち)
We take the long way around, farther and farther
朱(あか)い夕焼(ゆうや)け 二人(ふたり)はみてた きっと離(はな)れても同(おな)じ空(そら)を
 
あぁ限(かぎ)りなく 哀(かな)しみに似(に)た時(とき)を過(す)ごして
We once watched the crimson sunset together; even apart, we're surely looking at the same sky
伝(つた)えきれない思(おも)いを巡(めぐ)らせて 廻(まわ)り道(みち)
Ah, through days of sorrow that seem endless
 
I keep thinking of feelings I can't fully express, taking the long way around
