Description "Peace and tragedy are always adjoining with each other. That's important, in addition to noticing or not noticing. Everyone entrusts their differing bodies to the same conveyance, what sort of colour was the world when they looked through that window?"^{[note 1]}

Lyrics[]

Singer			flower	Miku	Both

Japanese	Romaji	English
正解とそうじゃない方を選んで	seikai to sou ja nai hou o erande	I pick a direction that’s the wrong choice^{[TL Note 1]}
伸びた枝の先で	nobita eda no saki de	at the end of an extended branch;
積み重ねた平穏に肥え	tsumikasaneta heion ni koe	I gathered more of it, the fruit I produced grew heavier,
赤々した実をつけた	akaaka shita mi o tsuketa	it turned into a bright shade of red
それを根こそぎ奪おうとする	sore o nekosogi ubaou to suru	I try to steal that, in its entirety
夜の化身	yoru no keshin	The embodiment of the night—
じっと待ってる	jitto matteru	I wait motionlessly for it
ただただじっと待ってる	tadatada jitto matteru	I just wait motionlessly

くだらないショーで	kudaranai shoo de	With a worthless show,
歌って踊る愛を帯びた人形を観て	utatte odoru ai o obita ningyou o mite	I sing and dance; I look at the doll that carried love,
残酷にも守られ	zankoku ni mo mamorare	Cruelly protected,
悲劇と縁のない命に気付く	higeki to en no nai inochi ni kizuku	I notice a life unafilliated with tragedy
露知らず何食わぬ顔の	tsuyushirazu nani kuwanu kao no	Totally innocent, and without the slightest idea,
朝の陽射	asa no hizashi	the morning sun
ずっとやって来る	zutto yatte kuru	always comes back around
等しくずっとやって来る	hitoshiku zutto yatte kuru	It always comes around just the same

傍にいない日と	soba ni inai hi to	The days I wasn't by your side
傍にいたい日が	soba ni itai hi ga	and the days I wanted to be by your side
相対した	aitai shita	faced each other

苦楽だって愉悦だって運んでいく	kuraku datte yuetsu datte hakonde iku	We carry our joys and sorrows, and our pleasures, too
可能性の夜汽車に	kanousei no yogisha ni	We boarded
乗り込んだ僕らは	norikonda bokura wa	the night train of possibilities
生まれて初めて生きていた	umarete hajimete ikite ita	For the first time in my life, I lived
離れた席でも同じ車両で	hanareta seki demo onaji sharyou de	Though our seats are far apart, we set our sights on it
目指して行くんだ	mezashite iku nda	from the same carriage
具沢山で満たしていく旅の途中	gudakusan de mitashite iku tabi no tochuu	Throughout this trip that's satisfied me with its many elements,
窓越し引き合って与え合った	madogoshi hikiatte ataeatta	through the window, we pulled against and gave to each other
孤独の片方がいつだって呼んでいる	kodoku no katahou ga itsu datte yonde iru	The lonely half is always calling out
耳を澄まして	mimi o sumashite	I listen carefully
ずっと離さず来た名前教えてよ	zutto hanasazu kita namae oshiete yo	Tell me the name that you came without ever letting go of
温まるように抱き締めるから	atatamaru you ni dakishimeru kara	Since I'll hug it close as if warming myself up

間違いとそうじゃない方を選んで	machigai to sou ja nai hou o erande	I pick a direction that’s correct^{[TL Note 2]}
伸びた星の先で	nobita hoshi no saki de	at the far reaches of an extensive planet;
私はただ遠くの	watashi wa tada tooku no	I simply stared
日のあたる三角屋根を見ていた	hi no ataru sankaku yane o mite ita	at a triangular roof struck by the sunlight in the distance
一晩が経って朝	hitoban ga tatte asa	An evening passes, and the morning
周回軌道6.5畳	shuukai kidou rokutengojou	orbits the standard size room^{[TL Note 3]}
小さなお墓になっちゃった	chiisana ohaka ni nacchatta	It became a small gravesite
そういや私あの星の何百倍	sou iya watashi ano hoshi no nanbyakubai	Which reminds me, I'm drawing a circle
大きな円を描いている	ookina en o egaite iru	hundreds of times bigger than that planet
円を描いている	en o egaite iru	I draw a circle

傍にいないから	soba ni inai kara	Since you’re not by my side,
傍にいたいと	soba ni itai to	what if I were to consider
思えたなら?	omoeta nara?	wanting you by my side?

暗くたって辛くたって歩いて行く	kuraku tatte tsuraku tatte aruite iku	No matter how dark it gets, how tough it’ll be, I’ll continue walking
無重力のこの一生	mujuuryoku no kono isshou	If I tried entering
乗り込んでみたなら	norikonde mita nara	this lifetime of zero gravity,
感じるよねこのPOWER	kanjiru yo ne kono POWER	wouldn’t I feel moved by this POWER?
離れ離れになった時から	hanarebanare ni natta toki kara	From the moment I got separated,
気付いてたぜずっと	kizuiteta ze zutto	I realised it; and that's why
同じ物食べて来たのだからね	onaji mono tabete kita no dakara ne	I've kept eating the same things all this time

僕ら違うけど	bokura chigau kedo	We differed, but
同じ星を乞い	onaji hoshi o kou	we wished upon the same star,
相対した	aitai shita	we faced each other

苦楽だって愉悦だって運んでいく	kuraku datte yuetsu datte hakonde iku	We carry our joys and sorrows, and our pleasures, too
可能性の夜汽車に	kanousei no yogisha ni	We boarded
乗り込んだ僕らは	norikonda bokura wa	the night train of possibilities
生まれて初めて生きていた	umarete hajimete ikite ita	For the first time in my life, I lived
離れた席でも同じ車両で	hanareta seki demo onaji sharyou de	Though our seats are far apart, we set our sights on it
目指して行くんだ	mezashite iku nda	from the same carriage
具沢山で満たしていく旅の途中	gudakusan de mitashite iku tabi no tochuu	Throughout this trip that's satisfied me with its many elements,
窓越し引き合って与え合った	madogoshi hikiatte ataeatta	through the window, we pulled against and gave to each other
孤独の片方がいつだって呼んでいる	kodoku no katahou ga itsu datte yonde iru	The lonely half is always calling out
耳を澄まして	mimi o sumashite	I listen carefully
ずっと離さず来た命を見せてよ	zutto hanasazu kita inochi o misete yo	Show me the life that you came without ever letting go of
温めるように抱き締めるから	atatameru you ni dakishimeru kara	Since I'll hug it close as if warming you up

会いたい時もずっと	aitai toki mo zutto	And whenever I want to see you,
奏でているから	kanadete iru kara	I play this song

Translation Notes[]

↑ The literal translation of the line would be “I pick a direction that isn’t the correct choice” but I opted to phrase it differently for a more natural wording in English.
↑ Same as tl note 1, where the line would translate as “I pick a direction that isn’t a mistake”
↑ 畳 (jou) refers to one tatami mat, and a method of measuring room size. In the context of this song, 6.5 tatami mats (~10.5 square metres) are approximately a standard room size.
