Lyrics
夜の静寂に伝う涙は
季節の隙間に求めきれない寂しさ
yoru no shijima ni tsutau namida wa
toki no sukima ni motomekirenai sabishisa
たとえ束の間と分かってても
すべてが欲しくなる
私が消えたら また元通り
残せない儚さ
tatoe tsukanoma to wakattetemo
subete ga hoshiku naru
watashi ga kietara mata motodoori
nokosenai hakanasa
月を焦して闇に紛れて
永遠を飲み干し
いっそ貴女になりたい
tsuki wo kogashite yami ni magirete
towa wo nomihoshi
isso anata ni naritai
私の「ずっと」貴女の「ずっと」
一つになれば他に何にもいらない
watashi no “zutto” anata no “zutto”
hitotsu ni nareba hoka ni nanni mo iranai
失うものなど もう何もない
側にいられるなら
怖くなる程に軋む心
ほどけないジレンマ
ushinau mono nado mou nani mo nai
soba ni irareru nara
kowaku naru hodo ni kishimu kokoro
hodokenai jirenma
月を燃やして二人照らして
声を枯らして貴女の名前呼びたい
tsuki wo moyashite futari terashite
koe wo karashite anata no namae yobitai
月を焦して闇に紛れて
永遠を飲み干し
いっそ貴女になりたい
「ずっと一緒」と言いたい
tsuki wo kogashite yami ni magirete
towa wo nomihoshi
isso anata ni naritai
“zutto issho” to iitai
Notes
* the word “季節” in the first stanza is usually pronounced as “kisetsu” and means “season”, but “toki” (time) is sung instead.
Translation
Tears that flow in the stillness of the night
A loneliness that cannot be sought in the gap between seasons (time)
Even though I know it’s only for a short time
I want everything
When I’m gone, things will go back as normal
A fragility that cannot be left behind
Scorch the moon, under cover of darkness
I’ll drink up eternity
I’d rather be you
My “always”, your “always”
Once they’re one, we don’t need anything else
There’s nothing left to lose
If I can be by your side
My heart is creaking to the point of fear
A dilemma that won’t unravel
Burn the moon, let it shine on the two of us
As my voice breaks, I want to call your name
Scorch the moon, under cover of darkness
I’ll drink up eternity
I’d rather be you
I want to tell you, “We’ll always be together.”
