ハルジオンHarujion

虹nijiをwo作ってたtsukutteta　手teをwo伸ばしたらnobashitara　消えてったkietetta

I was making a rainbow — I reached out — and it vanished

ブリキburikiのnoジョウロjouroをwoぶらさげてburasagete　立ち尽くしたtachitsukushita　昼下がりhirusagari

Dangling a tin watering can, I stood frozen in the afternoon

名前namaeがgaあったattaなぁnaa　白くてshirokute　背seのno高いtakai花hana

It had a name, didn't it — a white, tall flower

視界shikaiのno外れhazureでde　忘れられたwasurerareta様youにni　咲いてたsaiteta

At the edge of my sight, blooming as if forgotten

色褪せてiroasete　霞んでいくkasundeiku　記憶kiokuのno中naka　ただtadaひとつhitotsu

Fading and growing hazy in my memory, the only one

思い出せるomoidaseru　忘れられたwasureraretaままmamaのno花hana

I can recall — the flower that stayed forgotten

いつitsuだったっけdattakkeなぁnaa　傷kizuをwo濡らしたnurashita　あの日ano hiもmo

When was it again — that day I wet my wounds too

滲んだnijinda景色keshikiのno中nakaでde　滲まずnijimazuにni　揺れてたyureteta

In the blurred scenery, without blurring, it was swaying

いつitsuだったっけdattakkeなぁnaa　自分jibunにni嘘usoをwoついたtsuita日hiもmo

When was it again — that day I lied to myself too

正しいtadashiiリズムrizumuでde　風kazeとto唄うutau様youにni　揺れてたyureteta

In perfect rhythm, swaying as if singing with the wind

いつの日itsu no hiもmo　ふとfuto　気付けばkizukeba　僕bokuのnoすぐsuguそばsobaでde

Every day, I'd suddenly notice — right beside me

どんなdonna時tokiもmo　白いshiroiままmama　揺れてたyureteta　誰dareのnoタメtame？?　何nanのnoタメtame？?

No matter when, still white, it swayed — for whose sake? For what?

生きていくikiteiku意味imiをwo　失くしたnakushita時toki

When I lost the meaning of living

自分jibunのno価値kachiをwo　忘れたwasureta時toki

When I forgot my own worth

ほらhora　見えるmieru　揺れるyureru白いshiroi花hana

Look — I can see it — a white flower swaying

ただtadaひとつhitotsu　思い出せるomoidaseru　折れるoreru事kotoなくnaku　揺れるyureru

The only one I can recall — never breaking, it sways

虹nijiをwo作ってたtsukutteta　一度ichido　触れてfureteみたかったmitakatta

I was making a rainbow — I wanted to touch it just once

大人otonaにniなったらnattara　鼻hanaでde笑い飛ばすwaiitoibasu　夢yumeとto希望kibou

Dreams and hopes that grown-ups would laugh off with a sneer

ところがtokoro ga　僕らbokuraはwa　気付かずkizukazuにni　繰り返してるkurikaeshiteru

And yet we keep repeating it without realizing

大人otonaにniなってもnattemo　虹nijiをwo作ってtsukutteはwa　手teをwo伸ばすnobasu

Even as adults, making rainbows and reaching out

幾つもikutsumoのno景色keshikiをwo　通り過ぎたtoorisugita人hitoにni　問うtou

To someone who has passed through countless landscapes, I ask

君kimiをwo今ima　動かすugokasuモノmonoはwa何nani？?　そのsono色iroはwa？?　そのsono位置ichiはwa？?

What moves you now? What color is it? Where does it stand?

夢yumeならnara　どこかdokokaにni　落としてきたotoshite kita

My dreams — I dropped them somewhere along the way

希望kibouとto　遥かなharuka na距離kyoriをwo置いたoita

I put a vast distance between myself and hope

ほらhora　今imaもmo　揺れるyureru白いshiroi花hana

Look — even now — a white flower swaying

僕bokuはwa気付かなかったkizukanakatta　色iroもmo位置ichiもmo知っていたshitteita

I never noticed — I already knew its color and where it stood

虹nijiをwo作ってたtsukutteta　いつしかitsushika花hanaはwa枯れてたkareteta

I was making a rainbow — before I knew it, the flower had withered

視界shikaiにniあるaruのnoはwa　数えきれないkazoekirenai　水たまりmizutamariだけdake

All I could see was countless puddles

大事なdaiji na何かnanikaがga　音otoもmo立てずtatezuにni枯れてたkareteta

Something precious had withered without a sound

ブリキburikiのnoジョウロjouroがga　涙namidaでde満ちてったmichitetta　――――----　…...

The tin watering can filled up with tears ———— ...

まだmada

Still

虹nijiをwo作ってるtsukutteru　すがるsugaru様youにni繰り返してるkurikaeshiteru

I'm making a rainbow — desperately repeating it over and over

触れられないfurerarenaiってtte事kotoもmo　知りながらshirinagara　手teをwo伸ばすnobasu

Knowing I can never touch it, still reaching out

名前namaeがgaあったattaなぁnaa　白くてshirokute　背seのno高いtakai花hana

It had a name, didn't it — a white, tall flower

枯れてkarete解ったよwakatta yo　あれareはwa僕bokuのnoタメtame　咲いてたsaiteta

When it withered, I understood — it was blooming for my sake

気付くkizukuのnoがga　遅くてosokute　うなだれたunadareta　僕bokuのno目meがga

Too late in noticing — my downcast eyes

捕らえたtoraetaのnoはwa　水たまりmizutamariのno中nakaのno　小さなchiisana芽me　新しいatarashii芽me

Caught sight of it — in the puddle, a tiny sprout — a new sprout

生きていくikiteiku意味imiとto　またmata　出会えたdeaeta

I found the meaning of living once again

自分jibunのno価値kachiがga　今ima　生まれたumareta

My own worth was born just now

枯れてもkaretemo　枯れないkarenai花hanaがga咲くsaku

Even withered, an unwithering flower blooms

僕bokuのno中nakaにni深くfukaku　根neをwo張るharu

Deep within me, taking root

ほらhora　ここkokoにni　揺れるyureru白いshiroi花hana

Look — right here — a white flower swaying

僕bokuはwa気付かなかったkizukanakatta　忘れられていたwasurerareteita名前namae

I never noticed — the name that had been forgotten

僕bokuのno中nakaでde揺れるyureruならnara

If it sways within me

折れるoreru事kotoなくnaku揺れるyureru　揺るぎないyuruginai信念shinnenだろうdarou

Swaying without ever breaking — that must be unwavering conviction
