Fuyu no Shizuku

Winter Droplets

Fuyu no Shizuku

When I look up alone at the winter sky, softly
ふゆのそら ひとり みあげれば ふわり
fuyu no sora hitori miagereba fuwari
A hoarse voice strikes a bird
かすれたこえが とりをうつ
kasureta koe ga tori wo utsu
I cried just a little, then it cooled down
ほんのすこしないた そのあとはひえた
hon no sukoshi naita sono ato ga hieta
Tumbling down the slope of tangled threads
つづらおりのさかみち ころがって
tsuzuraori no sakamichi korogatte

Suddenly disappeared, tired smile, dim eyes
とつぜんにきえた つかれたえがお よじれためは
totsuzen ni kieta tsukareta egao yojireta me wa
I realized the strength of an unyielding love just now
ゆずれないあいのつよさと いまごろきづいた
yuzurenai ai no tsuyosa to imagoro kizuita

In a place without seasons, what kind of sky do you see?
きみはきせつのないばしょで どんなそらをみるの
kimi wa kisetsu no nai basho de donna sora wo miru no?
Here, white droplets seem to overflow
ここはしろいしずくあふれけされそうだよ
koko wa shiroi shizuku afure kesare sou dayo
A cold wind that fills the empty heart, never stopping
からっぽのこころをうめるこおりのかぜ ふりやまず
karappo no kokoro wo umeru koori no kaze furiyamazu
Now, even the snow feels like a distant warmth
いまはゆきでさえも とおいぬくもりのよう
ima wa yuki de sae mo tooi nukumori no you

It was supposed to be a misunderstanding
かんちがいのはずが
kanchigai no hazu ga
But it eventually turned into an answer
いつしかこたえになってしまった
itsushika kotae ni natte shimatta
Your destination too...
きみのゆくさきも
kimi no yukusaki mo

Stopped in ordinary days, just playing around
ありふれたひびにとどまって ただじゃれあってた
arifureta hibi ni todomatte tada jare atteta
Do I miss that time out of cowardice?
あのときをなつかしむのは おくびょうなのかな
ano toki wo natsukashimu no wa okubyou nano kana?

You, barefoot, leaped out alone
きみははだしのままひとり とびだしていったきり
kimi wa hadashi no mama hitori tobidashite ittakiri
The shoes left behind, unable to walk again
ぽつりのこるくつは にどとあるきだせずに
potsuri nokoru kutsu wa nidoto arukidasezu ni
Buried in the white droplets that fell from the sky
そらからまいおりたしろいしずくにうもれていくよ
sora kara maiorita shiroi shizuku ni umorete yuku yo
Someone, please pick them up...
だれかひろいあげて
dare ka hiroi agete
Just as they are, without a voice
こえにならないままで
koe ni naranai mama de

You bring winter droplets, descended into my sky
きみはふゆのしずくつれて ぼくのそらにおりた
kimi wa fuyu no shizuku tsurete boku no sora ni orita
It's definitely not a dream or an illusion
あれはけしてゆめやまぼろしなんかじゃなくて
are wa keshite yume ya maboroshi nanka janakute
To the frozen, clear sky, scattered white fragments
いてつきすみわたるそらへ はぐれたしろいKAKERAよ
itetsuki sumiwataru sora e hagureta shiroi KAKERA yo
I send my prayers to you, who are far away
とおいきみのもとへとどけといのりをのせ
tooi kimi no moto e todoke to inori wo nose
