Lyrics: Nana Azuki

First appeared on 君という光 · 14th single · 2003

ほんの少(すこ)し軽(かる)い眠(ねむ)りをとったって

Even if I sleep for just a little while

満(み)たされやしない

I can't feel satisfied

きっとまた同(おな)じとこで悩(なや)んじゃって

I'm sure I'll worry over the same thing again

動(うご)けないままで

Still unable to move

揺(ゆ)さぶりかける現実(げんじつ)も

The reality that shakes me

実体(じったい)のないシアワセのパレード

Is also a parade of happiness with no substance

欲(ほ)しいもの位(くらい)かわってるけど

At least what I long for is changing

ありふれた温(ぬく)もりを感(かん)じる術(すべ)がない

But I don't know how to feel ordinary warmth

夏(なつ)の終(お)わりの長(なが)い雨(あめ)

The long rain at summer's end

この世界(せかい)で願(ねが)いをうて

Casts a wish upon this world

投(な)げ出(だ)した感情(きもち)思(おも)いやって

And has compassion for feelings left behind

いつだって夢中(むちゅう)になれるなら

If I could give myself wholly, at any time

成(な)り行(ゆ)き任(まか)せでもいいんじゃない

Maybe it would be fine to simply go with the flow

いつまでも終(お)わることない

Without end

禅問答(ぜんもんどう)ハマル連鎖(れんさ)式(しき)

Like a Zen riddle, caught in a chain of questions

なんでまた前(まえ)に進(すす)むべきなんて

Why do I feel once again

思(おも)ってしまうんだろう

That I have to keep moving forward?

見(み)えないフリ諦(あきら)めることイケナイコト？

Is it wrong to pretend I don't see and close my heart?

当(あた)り障(さわ)りのない

If I could feel

毎日(まいにち)を受(う)け入(い)れることも

That accepting peaceful, uneventful days

ありだって思(おも)えば楽(らく)になれるのに

Is also a choice, things would surely be easier

夏(なつ)の終(お)わりの長(なが)い雨(あめ)

The long rain at summer's end

心(こころ)が騒(さわ)ぐのは何故(なぜ)

Why am I so uneasy inside?

捨(す)てきれない感情(かんじょう)にまかせて

Can I let the feelings I can't give up lead me

ふらふらと歩(ある)いてもいい？

And keep walking unsteadily?

悲(かな)しみが優(やさ)しさに変(か)わるなら

As long as sadness can become tenderness

夏(なつ)の終(お)わりの長(なが)い雨(あめ)

The long rain at summer's end

いつかは晴(は)れると知(し)ってるのに

Though I know it'll clear someday

忘(わす)れたくない何(なに)もかも流(なが)すようで

It feels as if it will wash away everything I don't want to forget

軽(かる)い眩暈(めまい)すら覚(おぼ)えてる

It even makes me slightly dizzy

夏(なつ)の終(お)わりの長(なが)い雨(あめ)

The long rain at summer's end

この世界(せかい)で願(ねが)いをうて

Casts a wish upon this world

投(な)げ出(だ)した感情(きもち)思(おも)いやって

And has compassion for feelings left behind

いつだって夢中(むちゅう)になれるなら

If I could give myself wholly, at any time

成(な)り行(ゆ)き任(まか)せでもいいんじゃない

Maybe it would be fine to simply go with the flow
