八月(はちがつ)(よる)An August Night

Lyrics

Music

(そら)地上(ちじょう)つなぐ airport ()かう夜更(よふ)
In the deep of night, I head to the airport joining sky and earth
外灯(がいとう)のない海岸(かいがん)沿()(はし)らせてた
Driving along a shore with no streetlights
 
 
()(さぐ)(やみ)(なか)(もと)めていたものは
What I grope for in the dark
破滅(はめつ)()(やさ)しい日々(ひび)すべてを()えるような
Is a tender time, almost destructive, that can change everything
 
 
destiny or mystery (なが)れた(とき)はもう
Fate is a mystery; the time that's passed
(なが)(よる) ()れる記憶(きおく) たとえば(ゆめ)合間(あいま)
Becomes a memory swaying in the long night, like a gap in a dream
 
 
それは八月(はちがつ)(よる)のこと
It was one night in August
まるで(ほし)(あめ)のよう
The stars seemed like rain
(とど)かぬ(かがや)きがまた()える
Another unreachable light disappears
(そら)(なが)めて()ごした
I just keep looking up at the sky
 
 
無数(むすう)言葉(ことば)(なか)(なに)
Among countless words
(えら)べずにスベテを()てた
I couldn't choose even one, so I let them all go
あの()心地(ここち)よさに()かれて
Held close by the ease of that day
なぜ(なみだ)はおちてくの
Why do the tears keep falling?
 
 
夜空(よぞら)(こぼ)()ちる大切(たいせつ)(なに)かを
As if to protect
(まも)ろうとして(つな)いだ()(はな)してたみたい
Something precious falling from the night sky, we let go of the hands we were holding
 
 
reality or fantasy (まわ)りあう(とき)には
Reality or fantasy—when we met
(いと)しさ やさしさ もどかしさに(ひそ)
It was hidden inside love, tenderness, and impatience
 
 
それは八月(はちがつ)(よる)のこと
It was one night in August
(ねむ)りよりも不思議(ふしぎ)
Stranger than sleep
(ぬく)もりに(つつ)まれる(ゆめ)(よる)
A dream night wrapped in warmth
クチナシの(あま)(かお)
The sweet fragrance of gardenias
 
 
(こころ)(きず)つけることなしに
If I don't let my heart be hurt
(こころ)()れること出来(でき)
I can't touch another heart
何一(なにひと)(まも)れずにいるような
As if I can't protect anything at all
無力(むりょく)さにのまれる(よる)
A night swallowed by helplessness
何処(どこ)までも(ふか)夜空(よぞら)
The night sky stretches on without end
