First appeared on SPARKLE 〜筋書き通りのスカイブルー〜 · 2nd album · 2002

眠(ねむ)りに堕(お)ちてく その瞬間(とき)だけ
Only in the moment before I fall asleep
無情(むじょう)なくらいに襲(おそ)う温(ぬく)もりが
Does that warmth come over me, almost cruelly
もう 忘(わす)れていた景色(きおく)を
Bringing back the scenery I've long forgotten
ただ繰(く)り返(かえ)しては揺(ゆ)れているの
Turning it over and over, swaying without end
 
 
おちてゆく太陽(たいよう)の中(なか)に
As the sun slowly sets
無力(むりょく)さに囚(とら)われていた in your hands
Powerless, I fall into the palm of your hand
ふと夢(ゆめ)の中(なか)へ誘(さそ)ふ close my eyes
Suddenly led into a dream, I close my eyes
望(のぞ)むものは無(な)く
Wanting nothing more
流(なが)れゆく月日(つきひ)に…
And let the years pass…
 
 
夏(なつ)祭(まつ)りの音(おと)
The sounds of a summer festival
蝉(せみ)の叫(さけ)び声(ごえ)
The cicadas calling
一降(ひとふ)りの雨(あめ)
A sudden shower
遠(とお)くまで太陽(たいよう)は帰(かえ)り
The sun returning far away
愛(いと)しさ胸(むね)に 忍(しの)び寄(よ)る隙間(すきま)に
Love slips quietly into the hollow of my heart
足下(あしもと)すくい通(とお)り過(す)ぎる静寂(せいじゃく)の cry
A silent cry takes away my footing, then passes by
 
 
大切(たいせつ)にしてきた出会(であ)いの数(かず)と
How many meetings have I once held dear?
別(わか)れは いつの日(ひ)にか肩(かた)をならべゆく
Someday there will be just as many partings
今(いま) 目(め)の前(まえ)の愛(いと)しささえ
Even the love before my eyes right now
ah この両手(りょうて)をすべり落(お)ちてゆく
Ah, is slipping from these hands
 
 
舞(ま)い降(お)りてく日差(ひざ)しの温(ぬく)もり
Sunlight falls with warmth
時(とき)を刻(きざ)む音(おと)だけ in your arms
In your arms, only time keeps ticking
束(つか)の間(ま) 甦(よみがえ)るから close my heart
Because it revives for just a moment, I close my heart
通(とお)り抜(ぬ)けてよ
Please just pass me by
風(かぜ)が吹(ふ)くように
Like the wind
 
 
迎(むか)え火(び)を辿(たど)る
Following the fires that guide the spirits home
川原(かわら)の流(なが)れに
Along the water flowing by the riverbank
陽炎(かげろう)に似(に)た
Like a heat haze
人恋(ひとこい)しく 宵(よい)明(あ)けの気持(きも)ち
From night until morning, someone stays on my mind
抱(だ)きしめても こぼれゆく切(せつ)なさに
Even as I hold you tight, sorrow slips from my arms
背(せ)を向(む)けながら人(ひと)の世(よ)に手繰(たぐ)り寄(よ)せてく
I turn away, then pull it back into this world
pray
And pray
 
 
夏(なつ)祭(まつ)りの音(おと)
The sounds of a summer festival
蝉(せみ)の叫(さけ)び声(ごえ)
The cicadas calling
一降(ひとふ)りの雨(あめ)
A sudden shower
遠(とお)くまで太陽(たいよう)は帰(かえ)り
The sun returning far away
愛(いと)しさ胸(むね)に 忍(しの)び寄(よ)る隙間(すきま)に
Love slips quietly into the hollow of my heart
足下(あしもと)すくい通(とお)り過(す)ぎる静寂(せいじゃく)の
A silent prayer that takes away my footing and passes by
pray
And pray
