螢Hotaru

虹nijiのno始まるhajimaru場所bashoをwo探したんだよsagashitanda yo

I went searching for where the rainbow begins

余ったamatta光hikariをwoもらいmoraiにni行ったittaよyo

I went to get some of the leftover light

光ってないとねhikatte nai to ne　誰dareもmo僕bokuをwo見ないんだよminainda yo

If I don't glow, you know, nobody sees me

分かったwakattaフリfuriでもdemoいいiiからkara

Even if you're just pretending to understand

あのano火の鳥hi no toriをwo僕bokuはwa探したんだよsagashitanda yo

I went searching for that firebird

余ったamatta羽haneをwoもらいmoraiにni行ったittaよyo

I went to get some of the leftover feathers

でもねdemo ne　僕bokuにniはwaどれdoreもmo大きすぎてookisugite

But, you know, they were all too big for me

求めるmotomeru理由imiはwa小さすぎてchiisasugite

And my reason for wanting them was too small

光ってhikatte消えるkieruただtadaそれsoreだけdakeとto知りながらshirinagara　光るhikaru僕bokuはwaきれいkireiでしょう?deshou?

I glow and fade, knowing that's all there is, but I'm beautiful when I glow, aren't I?

濁ってnigotte見えたmieta明日ashitaがga晴れるhareruそのsono理由riyuuはwa　もうmou誰dareにniもmo聞かないkikanaiからkara

The reason tomorrow looked murky will clear up, and I won't ask anyone why anymore

いいよii yo　僕bokuにniはwa名前namaeはwaないnaiけどkedo

It's fine, I don't have a name, but

僕bokuがga消えるkieruときtokiはwaちゃんとchanto泣いてnaiteよyo

When I fade away, please cry for me properly

そのときsono toki　一番ichiban眩しかったmabushikatta星hoshiにni

And then, the brightest star at that moment

僕bokuのno名前namaeつけてtsuketeほしいなhoshii na

I'd like you to give it my name

嬉しいことureshii koto　悲しいkanashiiことkotoはwaいつもitsumo半分コhanbun koずつzutsuなnaのno

Happy things and sad things are always split half and half

だからそうdakara sou　最期saigoはwaゼロzeroにniなれるnareruのno

So yes, in the end I can return to zero

光ってhikatte消えるkieruただtadaそれsoreだけdake信じながらshinjinagara　歌うutau僕bokuはwaここkokoにniいるiruよyo

I glow and fade, believing that's all there is, the me who sings is right here

作ってみせるtsukutte miseruそのsono笑顔egaoもmo愛しいitoshiiからkara　もうmou昨日kinouをwo探さないでsagasanaideよyo

Even that smile you put on is dear to me, so please stop searching for yesterday

光ってhikatte消えるkieruただtadaそれsoreだけdakeとto知りながらshirinagara　光るhikaru僕bokuはwaきれいkireiでしょう?deshou?

I glow and fade, knowing that's all there is, but I'm beautiful when I glow, aren't I?

だからねdakara ne　痛むitamu胸muneにni光るhikaru種taneをwo乗せてnosete　幸せshiawaseだdaねneってtte言えるieruまでmade

So, you know, with a glowing seed resting on my aching chest, until I can say "I'm happy"

光ってたいのhikatte tai no

I want to keep glowing

奪ってubatte逃げるnigeruただtadaそれsoreだけdakeのno命inochiならnara

If this life is nothing but taking and running
