Japanese
冬の海辺をあてもなく歩いて
二人で貝殻集めて
人もまばらな橋の上のベンチで
いつまでも波音を聞いている
言いたいことがからだの奥で
渦巻いてるけど
言葉にできないそのことに
今はいらだつこともないよ
WE WANT LOVE
うつむくしぐさに孤独の疲れが
見えても何もできなかった
ひきずることでも突き放すことでもない
曇った気持ちを抑えてる
昔によく似た日々が続いている
ワインを飲みながら踊って
君の部屋のソファーにもすわった
でもけっして昔と同じじゃない
ほんの少し 離れて歩く傷つかないように
ほんの少し口数を減らしてる
大事なものなくさないように
IN YOUR LOVE
冷たい風が僕らを近づける
くすぶる想い見透かすように
強い戸惑いを意味のない笑顔に
すりかえてまた戸惑う
小さな貝殻にひとつずつ絵を描いて
おもいでを砂に埋めてゆく
遠くで響いてる鐘は何かの
終りと始まりを告げている
恋という形のために
壊れるものがあること
知っているのに会いたくなるのは
恋だから 愛だから それとも
WHAT IS LOVE?
僕らが追ってる夢は本当は
同じものかもしれないけど
恋はいらないとつぶやく僕は
ただのひとりよがりだろう
真夜中 舗道で突然その腕を
組んできた君はとても綺麗で
そのまま僕はじっと空を見上げてる
恋じゃなくなった日の空を
English
Walking aimlessly along the winter beach,
The two of us collect shells
On a few of the benches along the top of the bridge,
People listen to the neverending sound of the waves
The things we want to say
Swirl around inside our bodies
But being unable to put them into words
Actually isn't even a bother anymore
WE WANT LOVE
Even though I can see fatigue and loneliness from our hanging heads,
There's nothing that can be done now
We can't just let go no matter how long it's dragged on
So we keep suppressing these dimming feelings the best we can
Days like those from the past continue to come and go
As we drink wine, we keep dancing together
I sit on the couch in your room
But it's definitely not the same as it was before
Let's walk away for a little while
So that we won't get hurt
Let's reduce our words for a little while
So that we won't lose what's important to us
IN YOUR LOVE
A cold wind is closing in on us
As if it can see through our sputtering thoughts
Puzzled and meaningless smiles on our faces
Become replaced by yet another bewildered feeling
Painting a tiny picture on top of the shell,
I bury it along with our memories in the sand
The echoes of distant bells are sounding
To signal to us both the end and its beginning
Some things have been broken for the sake of shaping our love
We've known it wouldn't work
All because we were so in love, or at least in love with the idea
WHAT IS LOVE?
Maybe we really are after the same dream
The thought of not wanting love anymore is attacking my heart
Due to the pain, I mutter to myself, "I don't need love anymore"
I'm not just swimming too deep in my own pride, right?
On that paved street in the middle of the night
You suddenly slipped your hand into my arm; you really are beautiful
In that moment, I looked quietly to the sky above
It was the sky of the day when love ceased to be
