Romaji English Original

dare ka doko ka hageshiku hikarete
meguriatte shimau
toki o tometa tokei makimodosu mitai ni
unmei ga ugoku
wasurerareru tame dake
namae o motsu subete wa utsutsu o asobu kedo
anata no te no nukumori
tada umareru mae kara
oboeteita watashi wa naze setsunakute
itsuka nanika futari wa kawaru no
tooi hibi no hate ni
shiawase no urani wa kanashimi ga kakurete
hohoemi o ubau
kono kioku no tsuzuki o
tengoku kara watashi wa nandomo surete kuru
dore dake kizuitemo
hodoku koto ga dekinai
ibara no ito sore o ai to yobu no darou
nogaretakute modoreteyuku
yukanda karuma ni nakarete
wasurerareru tame dake
namae o motsu subete wa utsutsu o asobu kedo
anata no te no nukumori
tada umareru mae kara
oboeteita namonaki kono tamashii ga

Somebody, somewhere, is attracted by the excitement
Of meeting by chance
A time when the hour stops, as if rewinding it
Causes destiny to stir
I forget only for the sake of
Carrying my name, all of reality plays but
The warmth of your hand
To only be born from before
I remember why I am in pain
Sometime, something, will change two people
The end of that distant day
Amidst happiness, hidden sadness
Snatches away a smile
This memory from Heaven continues
I often take along how much
I can’t unfasten my hurt
A thread of thorns that seem to invite love
Seeking an escape
I warp Karma in an embrace
I forget only for the sake of
Carrying my name, all of reality plays but
The warmth of your hand
To only be born from before
I remember this unknown soul

誰か どこか 激しく惹かれて
めぐり逢ってしまう
時を止めた時計 巻き戻すみたいに
運命が動く
忘れられるためだけ
名前を持つすべては現を遊ぶけど
あなたの手のぬくもり
ただ生まれる前から
憶えていた 私はなぜせつなくて
いつか 何か 二人は変わるの
遠い日々の果てに
幸せの裏には 悲しみが隠れて
微笑みをうばう
この記憶の続きを
天国から私は 何度も連れてくる
どれだけ傷ついても
ほどくことができない
棘の糸 それを愛と呼ぶのだろう
逃れたくて 求めてゆく
歪んだカルマに抱かれて
忘れられるためだけ
名前を持つすべては 現を遊ぶけど
あなたの手のぬくもり
ただ生まれる前から
憶えていた 名もなきこの魂が
