Lyrics

Japanese	Romaji	English
一人っきり　あの子は泣いていた	hitorikkiri ano ko wa naiteita	All alone, that girl was crying,
逃げ出した過去の無力　思い出して	nigedashita kako no muryoku omoidashite	remembering her past helplessness that she’d fled from.
大切な記憶を　ひた隠し	taisetsu na kioku o hitakakushi	She did everything she could to hide that important memory away,
生まれてはいけなかったと泣いていた	umarete wa ikenakatta to naiteita	crying that she should never have been born.
事変の荒波が　畝りをあげてゆく	jihen no aranami ga uneri o agete yuku	The raging seas of disaster cause the waves to swell.
いづれ誰もが通る　別れ道へ	izure daremo ga tooru wakaremichi e	Everyone eventually moves on and goes down a different path.
後戻りができない　僕らの	atomodori ga dekinai bokura no	We can’t backtrack, so just what
自由とは何だろうか　出会ってしまう迷路	jiyuu to wa nandarou ka deatte shimau meiro	is freedom to us? A labyrinth where we end up meeting by chance.
生まれた　代償ばかりに罪を抱いて	umareta daishou bakari ni zai o daite	As if in some sort of compensation for being born, she embraced her sins,
死に損なった心が	shinisokonatta kokoro ga	and her heart that she’d failed to smother
のこされた愛も奪ってしまって	nokosareta ai mo ubatte shimatte	stole away all of her leftover love,
からっぽになった	karappo ni natta	leaving her completely empty.
解いてよ　痛いよ　殺してくれよ	hodoite yo itai yo koroshite kure yo	Let me go! It hurts! Just kill me!
うなされた夜の行く末は	unasareta yoru no yukusue wa	Her future of nightmare-filled nights
決めつけられた　痛烈な惨状	kimetsukerareta tsuuretsu na sanjou	has already been determined.
苛烈業苦の中で	karetsu gouku no naka de	A scathing hellscape amidst harsh karmic suffering.
泣き止んだあの子は不吉な子	nakiyanda ano ko wa fukitsu na ko	The girl stopped crying–what a sinister child.
あいつはあいつは孤独なんだ	aitsu wa aitsu wa kodoku nanda	She, she’s lonely.
矛盾をかき集めて　捨てにゆく姿	mujun o kakiatsumete sute ni yuku sugata	The figure that gathered up every contradiction to go throw them all away
自分には相応しいと荷を下ろした	jibun ni wa fusawashii to ni o oroshita	thought the task fitting for someone like her, and unburdened herself.
或いはいつか　誰かのためになり	aruiwa itsuka dareka no tame ni nari	Perhaps someday, she’ll be of use to someone.
どんな仕事も熟せたらいいなって	donna shigoto mo jukusetara ii natte	If only she could grow into any kind of purpose…
身を焦がした　切ない思い出に	mi o kogashita setsunai omoide ni	Being tied together with such all-consuming, heartrending memories
繋がれて不自由なのに	tsunagarete fujiyuu na no ni	was crippling, and yet,
あの子は笑っていた	ano ko wa waratte ita	the girl was smiling.
誰にも　汚されていない　真実の愛を	dareni mo kegasarete inai shinjitsu no ai o	She won’t let anyone pollute it.
求めて生き抜く心が	motomete ikinuku kokoro ga	Whenever her enduring heart steps forward,
歩けば　水をかけられるような	arukeba mizu o kakerareru you na	seeking true love, the world itself seems barren,
枯れた世界だろう	kareta sekai darou	as if to get in her way.
つらいのはもう　慣れっこだって	tsurai no wa mou narekko datte	She’s long since grown accustomed to suffering.
変えられないことを知ってる	kaerarenai koto o shitteru	She knows there are things she can’t change.
無力なままで　笑いあえる日々	muryoku na mama de warai aeru hibi	If you can only forgive her
それだけがあなたへ許すなら	sore dake ga anata e yurusu nara	for being able to laugh together, powerless,
耐え抜いてみせて	taenuite misete	then she’ll bear with it and pull through.
常世と現世の境目に落ちて	tokoyo to utsushiyo no sakaime ni ochite	She supposes she’ll fall into the borderline separating the eternal world and the present world,
天と地の狭間で宙ぶらりだろう	ten to ji no hazama de chuu burari darou	floating aimlessly in the space between heaven and earth.
お願い　あなたは　暗闇に挑む人	onegai anata wa kurayami ni idomu hito	Please, you are the one who battles the darkness.
眼差しを向ける先に　光を探せる人	manazashi o mukeru saki ni hikari o sagaseru hito	The one who can search for the light beyond the limits of their gaze.
いつか　あなたの近くで	itsuka anata no chikaku de	If one day, close to you,
泣いている　誰かがいるとしたら	naite iru dareka ga iru to shitara	someone is crying,
きっと　僕たちの涙も	kitto bokutachi no namida mo	then surely, our tears too
その海に流れつく	sono umi ni nagaretsuku	will flow into that ocean.
濡れた頬に　温もりの	nureta hoho ni nukumori no	We’ll put up an umbrella over the warmth
傘をさして　雨を凌ごうよ	kasa o sashite ame o shinogou yo	left on our wet cheeks and stave off the rain.
決して迷わない　朝が来る	kesshite mayowanai asa ga kuru	There will come a morning where we’ll never lose our way,
苦しみの向こう側に	kurushimi no mukougawa ni	on the other side of this anguish.
命の大小　なんてどこにもないぜ	inochi no daishou nante doko ni mo nai ze	Life doesn’t come in big or small sizes.
あらゆる全ての心は	arayuru subete no kokoro wa	Hearts of all things,
永遠に輝く閃光となって	towa ni kagayaku senkou to natte	become eternally shining flashes of light
突き進んでゆけ	tsukisusunde yuke	and push onward!
愛され過ぎて失った愛を	aisare sugite ushinatta ai o	That world called “loneliness” might just be
孤独という名の世界だろう	kodoku to iu na no sekai darou	a love that was lost for being loved too much.
あの子は　君に出会うまで	ano ko wa kimi ni deau made	Until that girl can meet you,
今も泣いているから	ima mo naite iru kara	she’ll be crying even now.
そうだ　僕たちは	sou da bokutachi wa	That’s right, even though
苦しくても　息をする	kurushikute mo iki o suru	we suffer, we still breathe.
いつかはそうだ　僕たちは	itsuka wa sou da bokutachi wa	Once upon a time, that’s right,
嬉しくて　泣いていた	ureshikute naiteita	we cried, happy.
生きる意味それは　生まれたこと /(精一杯 息をしようぜ)	ikiru imi sore wa umareta koto/(seiippai iki o shiyou ze)	My life has meaning because I was born, (Let’s breathe with everything we have)
僕たちが生きる「今」のこと /(どんな困難も乗り越えろ)	bokutachi ga ikiru "ima" no koto/(donna konnan mo norikoero)	because of the “now” we’re living through (Overcome all your hardships)
