ほら空色(そらいろ)の猫(ねこ)がまちを出(で)る
Look, the sky-blue cat leaves the town
晴(は)れた空(そら)に紛(まぎ)れて
And blends into the clear sky
君(きみ)を傷(きず)つけた その 毛色(いろ)にね
The color of its fur that once hurt you
背中(せなか)を押(お)されてゆく
Now pushes you forward
 
 
教会(きょうかい)の鐘(かね)の音(おと) 遠(とお)くから聴(き)こえてきて
Church bells sound from far away
人(ひと)はまた 懲(こ)りもせずに祈(いの)る
People pray again, never growing tired
日(ひ)が落(お)ちる その前(まえ)に ただ祈(いの)る
Before the sun goes down, they simply pray
 
 
心(こころ)の中(なか)にある 傷跡(きずあと)捨(す)てられるとして
If I could cast away the scars in my heart
最初(さいしょ)から そぅ 苦(くる)しみのない
Would I have chosen, from the very beginning,
生(い)き方(かた)選(えら)ぶでしょうか…
A way to live without pain…?
 
 
溢(あふ)れ出(で)るやさしい歌(うた)を聴(き)いて
Listening to a gentle song that keeps flowing
空色(そらいろ)の猫(ねこ)がゆく
The sky-blue cat walks on
彼(かれ)の胸(むね)に響(ひび)く たった一(ひと)つの
Searching for the one
歌声(うたごえ)をさがしてる
And only song that will echo in its heart
 
 
傷(きず)ついたその分(ぶん)だけ 優(やさ)しさを知(し)るはずだと
The more you've been hurt, the more tenderness you learn
聞(き)き飽(あ)きたチープな言葉(ことば)でも
Even these worn-out, cheap words—
心(こころ)から感(かん)じてる時(とき)がある?
Have you ever truly felt them deep inside?
 
 
少(すこ)しだけ無理(むり)をして
I pushed myself a little too hard
誰(だれ)かに合(あ)わせてみたけど
I really did try to fit in
それ程(ほど)にね この世界(せかい)は
But surely this world
狭(せま)くもない筈(はず)でしょう
Isn't as narrow as that
 
 
ほら空色(そらいろ)の猫(ねこ)がまちを出(で)る
Look, the sky-blue cat leaves the town
初(はじ)めての海(うみ)へゆく
Heading for the sea it's seeing for the first time
幻(まぼろし)のような波(なみ)の音(おと)に 一日(いちにち)が暮(く)れてゆく
The day slowly passes in the phantom sound of the tide
いつかその影(かげ)が 寄(よ)り添(そ)うように
Someday, I hope another shadow can draw close
二(ふた)つ並(なら)ぶといいね… yeah~
And walk by its side… yeah~
 
 
and that's all right
This is fine
so take it slow
So take it slowly
we'll be just fine
Everything will be all right…
and that's all right
This is fine
so take it slow
So take it slowly
we'll be just fine
Everything will be all right…
and that's all right
This is fine
so take it slow
So take it slowly
we'll be just fine
Everything will be all right…
and that's all right
This is fine
so take it slow
So take it slowly
we'll be just fine ……
Everything will be all right……
