Lyrics[]

Japanese	Romaji	English
言葉をあなたに捧ごう	Kotoba wo anata ni sasagou	I wish to offer these words to you
この僕の心と同じ憂いを文字に籠めて	Kono boku no kokoro to onaji urei wo moji ni komete	the letters they contain are the same as those within my distraught heart
どれだけ綺麗に描けたならあなたに届くのか	Dore dake kirei ni egaketa nara anata ni todoku no ka	if I want them to reach you how beautifully will I need to arrange these words,

涙零した二つの少し離れた雨傘	Namida koboshita futatsu no sukoshi hanareta amagasa	The two slightly separated umbrellas that spilled over with tears
あなたの声が聞こえない	Anata no koe ga kikoenai	I am unable to hear your voice
雨音が邪魔をした	Amaoto ga jama wo shita	the sound of the rain got in the way

初めて誰かに恋をしてた	Hajimete dareka ni koi wo shiteta	this is the first time that I ever fell in love
きっとあなたも気づいていたね	Kitto anata mo kidzuite ita ne	I am sure that you also realized this
胸を裂く切なさを手紙に綴ろう	Mune wo saku setsunasa wo tegami ni tsudzurou	let me write of this pain that is ripping through my heart

言葉をあなたに捧ごう	Kotoba wo anata ni sasagou	I wish to offer these words to you
この僕の心と同じ憂いを文字に籠めて	Kono boku no kokoro to onaji urei wo moji ni komete	the letters they contain are the same as those within my distraught heart
どれだけ綺麗に描けたなら伝わるだろうか	Dore dake kirei ni egaketa nara tsutawaru darou ka	how beautifully will I need to arrange these words, if I want you to understand
言葉にできないなんて逃げ出せない	Kotoba ni dekinai nante nigedasenai	I can't run away by saying "I can't put it into words"
まるで一人孤独な文学者	Marude hitori kodoku na bungakusha	it's as if I was an isolated writer
僕が織り上げた言葉でこそ	Boku ga oriageta kotoba de koso	it's because of these words that I wove together
届けてみせたい	Todokete misetai	that I want it to reach you

変わらず空は晴れない	Kawarazu sora wa harenai	The never changing sky just won't clear up
二つ並んだ雨傘	Futatsu naranda amagasa	the two umbrellas next to each other
あなたの指に触れた日	Anata no yubi ni fureta hi	On that day, I touch your finger
雨音が遠くなる	Amaoto ga tooku naru	the sound of the rain disappears

拙い手紙を渡したけど	Tsutanai tegami wo watashita kedo	I handed over the poorly written letter
雨に滲んだ文字が読めない	Ame ni nijinda moji ga yomenai	the letters soaked by the rain are unreadable
それでも「ありがとう」とあなたは笑った	Sore demo "arigatou" to anata wa waratta	but even then you said "thank you" & smiled back at me

言葉をあなたに贈ろう	Kotoba wo anata ni okurou	I wish to send these words to you
もう一度いつか必ず渡すと約束した	Mou ichido itsuka kanarazu watasu to yakusoku shita	I promised that one day I would definitely write another one
そうする自分が悔しかった	Sou suru jibun ga kuyashikatta	I despised myself for doing something like that
あなたの優しさも	Anata no yasashisa mo	and that kindness of yours as well
飾らぬ心を書けば幼すぎて	Kazaranu kokoro wo kakeba osanasugite	Writing with an unrestrained heart is so childish
姿もない「誰か」に笑われた	Sugata mo nai "dareka" ni warawareta	I was laughed at by a figure-less "somebody"
その時忘れてしまったもの	Sono toki wasurete shimatta mono	the things that I forgot about at that time
幸せの中に	Shiawase no naka ni	lies within happiness

寄り添う月日は黄昏ゆく	Yorisou tsukihi wa tasogare yuku	As the days & months approach, they ebb into darkness
僕らに残された時間は	Bokura ni nokosareta jikan wa	the time that has been left for the two of us
あと僅かだと知っているのか	Ato wazuka da to shitte iru no ka	did you know that there would be so little left
目を閉じあなたは呟く	Me wo toji anata wa tsubuyaku	with your eyes still closed you whispered to me
「最後に願いが叶うのならあの日の手紙を下さい」と	"Saigo ni negai ga kanau no nara ano hi no tegami wo kudasai" to	"If any wish of mine were to be granted, then I'd like to have the letter from that day"
ただ言い残して眠りにつく	Tada ii nokoshite nemuri ni tsuku	that's all she said after falling into slumber

例えば「好き」と一言の手紙でも	Tatoeba "suki" to hitokoto no tegami demo	Even if I only wrote "I love you" in that letter
あの人は大切にしてくれたのだろう	Ano hito wa taisetsu ni shite kureta no darou	She would've treasured it as her greatest possession
本当は自分も分かっていた	Hontou wa jibun mo wakatte ita	In truth, I myself already knew of this
けどできなかった	Kedo dekinakatta	but I couldn't do it at all
心を綴ることから逃げ出した	Kokoro wo tsudzuru koto kara nigedashita	I ran away from writing about the feelings in my heart
僕は一人無力な文学者	Boku wa hitori muryoku na bungakusha	I am but one powerless writer
語ろうとしてた「誰」のために	Katarou to shiteta "dare" no tame ni	I tried to write about it for someone's sake

誰のために？	Dare no tame ni?	but for whose sake exactly?

だからせめてまたあなたに会うときは	Dakara semete mata anata ni au toki wa	that's why, at the very least, when I meet you again
あの日の僕が続きを渡すから	Ano hi no boku ga tsudzuki wo watasu kara	I'll give you the continuation of that letter

ペンを走らせる窓の外に	Pen wo hashiraseru mado no soto ni	as my pen runs across the page, outside the window
雨音が響く	Amaoto ga hibiku	the sound of the rain rings out
