無言の言葉であやとりして
上手に出来たと笑ってみる
mugon no kotoba de ayatori shite
jouzu ni dekita to waratte miru
With silent words, I play cat’s cradle
Having done it well, I try to smile
得意なのは誰にも気付かれぬように
心押し殺すこと それひとつだけ
tokui nano wa dare ni mo kidzukarenu you ni
kokoro oshi korosu koto sore hitotu dake
What I’m good at is being unnoticeable to anyone
by hiding my heart away, and just that alone
でもとりまく綺麗なループは柔い力で
手繰り寄せてくれるから
demo torimaku kirei na ruupu wa yawai chikara de
taguri yosete kureru kara
But thanks to a pretty loop around me, made with love and care
that drew me in, I can now..
鮮やかに結んで この気持ごと
離れないように固く固く
ひと結び 人を結んで
期待の止まない先へ
あすへ行こう
azayaka ni musunde kono kimochi goto
hanarenai you ni kataku kataku
hitomusubi hito o musunde
kitai no yamanai saki e
asu e yukou
Vividly tie up all my feelings
in order to never leave you, toughening, toughening
This knotting knits people together
I don’t expect these days to end
Lets head off towards tomorrow
求めたものなど本当は無く
憧れることに憧れてた
motometa mono nado honto wa naku
akogareru koto ni akogareteta
When it comes to things that I search for, truth is there are none
I just admire whatever it is that attracts me
気づいた時 歩いた道は塞がれ
蒔いたはずだった目印も見えない
kidzuita toki aruita michi wa fusagare
maita hazu datta mejirushi mo mienai
When I noticed this, the path I was walking closed off
The signs that should’ve been left behind I also can’t see
北も南も見失って途方に暮れても
空で待っててくれるなら
kita mo minami mo mi ushinatte tohou ni kuretemo
sora de mattete kureru nara
Even after losing my way, unable to tell North from South
if you just wait up there in the sky..
今高くかざして 消えないあかり
迷わないように強く強く
うなだれた月も照らして
確かな答えを示す みちしるべ
ima takaku kazashite kienai akari
mayowanai you ni tsuyoku tsuyoku
unadareta tsuki mo terashite
tashika na kotae o shimesu michishirube
So high above me, held up over my head, this light won’t diminish
so I won’t lose my way, strengthening, strengthening
The moon is also shining down upon me
It’s a sign guiding me to certain answers
これから旅に出ようか
頼りない船に揺られ
数えきれない嵐に糸を絶たれ
体に雨が染みこんでも
kore kara tabi ni deyou ka
tayorinai fune ni yurare
kazoe kirenai arashi ni ito o tatare
karada ni ame ga shimi kondemo
From here on out, shall we depart on a journey?
Rocking side to side, on an unreliable boat
Innumerable storms sever the threads
Even if are bodies are soaked by the rain
その度に何度も結んで この気持ごと
解けないようにずっとずっと
ひと結び 人を結んで
期待の止まない先へ
あすへ行こう
希望乗せて行こう
sono tabi ni nando mo musunde kono kimochi goto
tokenai you ni zutto zutto
hitomusubi hito o musunde
kitai no yamanai saki e asu e yukou
kibou nosete yukou
during that time, and many more, I tie up all my feelings
so they don’t come loose again, again and again
This knotting knits people together
I don’t expect these days to end
Lets head off towards tomorrow
loading our ship with hope
