透明人間Toumei Ningen18Juuhachi号gou

晴れたhareta空soraのno蒼さaosaだけdakeじゃja　もはやmohayaかばいkabaiきれkireはwaしなくてshinakute

The blue of the clear sky alone could no longer cover for me

このままkono mamaでdeはwaボロboroがga出るderuとto　黒くkuroku染まりsomari色iroをwo仕舞いこんだshimaikonda

Fearing my flaws would show, I turned black and tucked my colors away

されどsaredo黒kuroにni身miをwo預けるazukeruほどhodoのno懐futokoroなどnadoなくてnakute

But I didn't have a deep enough embrace to surrender myself to black

どちらdochiraにniせよse yo潔さisagiyosaがga　求められるmotomerareruことkotoをwo知ったshitta

Either way, I learned that purity was what was demanded of me

聖者seijaもmo僕bokuもmo同様douyouにni　照らしてterashiteくれるkureruのnoがga救いsukuiだdaよyo

That saints and I are illuminated equally is my salvation

太陽taiyouがga照らすterasu相手aite選んだらeranda ra　きっとkitto僕bokuにni色iroはwa与えられないataerarenai

If the sun chose who to shine on, I surely wouldn't be given any color

ただtada一つhitotsuをwo貫くtsuranuku人hito　幾色ikushokuにもni mo塗れるnureru人hito

People who stay true to one thing, people who can be painted in many colors

それぞれsorezoreなけなしnakenashiのno　正しさtadashisaをwo振り絞ってfurishibotteいるiruのにnoni　僕bokuはwa

Each wringing out what little righteousness they have — and here I am

白shiroとto黒kuroのno狭間hazamaでde今日kyouもmo　見事なmigoto naまでmadeのno灰haiのno色iro

Today again, caught between white and black, a remarkably perfect shade of gray

涙namida一つhitotsuこぼしてkoboshiteみてもmite mo　色iroはwa教えてoshieteはwaくれないkurenai

Even if I shed a single tear, it won't tell me what color I am

賢者kenjaもmo 空soraもmo 凡人bonjinもmo　それぞれsorezoreのno色iroにni染まるsomaru中naka

While sages, the sky, and ordinary people each become washed in their own colors

太陽taiyouのno光hikari纏ったmatotta君kimiはwa　無色透明mushoku toumeiにni輝いていたkagayaiteita

You, cloaked in sunlight, were shining colorless and transparent

何ににもnani ni ni mo染まらぬsomaranuようにyou ni　何にでもnani ni demo溶けるtokeruようにyou ni

So as not to be dyed by anything — so as to dissolve into everything

心kokoroとto声koeとtoのno隙間sukimaにni　裸hadakaでde立ってられるtatteru areruようにyou ni

So I could stand bare in the gap between heart and voice

黒発kurohatsu::白着shirochaku　鈍行donkouにni乗りnori　何万回目nanmankaimeかkaのno里帰りsatogaeri

Departing from black, arriving at white — riding the local train on my ten-thousandth trip home

そのsono道すがらmichisugara乗り込んできたnorikomndekita　君kimiにni僕bokuはwa見つかったんだmitsukattanda

Along the way, you got on board and found me

するとsuru to灰haiのno色iroのno僕bokuをwo眺めnagame　綺麗kireiとto言ったんだittanda

Then you looked at my gray self and called it beautiful

虹nijiのno色iroをwo掻き混ぜるkakimazeruとto　同じonaji色iroをwoしているshiteiruとto

Saying it was the same color you get when you mix all the colors of the rainbow

聖者seijaのno声koeがgaこのkono僕bokuのno　耳mimiにもni mo聞こえるkikoeruのnoはwa救いsukuiだdaよyo

That the voice of the saint reaches even my ears is my salvation

声koeがga　届くtodoku相手aite選んだらeranda ra　きっとkitto君kimiとto僕bokuはwa出会えぬdeaenuままmama

If the voice chose who to reach, surely you and I would have never met

何ににもnani ni ni mo染まらぬsomaranuようにyou ni　色々iroiroからkara逃げるnigeruようにyou ni

So as not to be dyed by anything — as if running from every color

これっぽっちkoreppocchiのnoこのkono僕bokuにni　何naniをwo選べerabeとtoいうiuのnoかいkai

What do you expect this tiny little me to choose?

僕bokuにもni moなれるnareruかkaなna

Can I become that too?

何かnanika嫌いkiraiとtoいうiuにniはwa　何もnanimo知らないshiranaiからkara

I don't know enough about anything to say I hate something

僕bokuにもni moできるdekiruかkaなna

Can I do that too?

このkono命inochiのno間aidaにni　全てsubeteのno色iroをwo手teにni

To hold every color in my hands within this lifetime

できるdekiruかkaなna

Can I?
