| やまない雨が 微熱を孕む 痛みの中で 「いやだ いやだ これじゃない」って でもね‥‥ワ カ ッ テ タ でもね‥‥キ モ チ イ イ 私 可哀想な自分が好きなんだ | Yamanai ame ga binetsu o haramu | Itami no naka de “iya da iya da kore ja nai” tte | Demo ne….wa ka t te ta | Demo ne….ki mo chi i i | Watashi kawaisou na jibun ga suki nanda | The unceasing rain carries a subtle heat | Within the pain, I say, “No, no, this isn’t it” | But…I knew | But…it felt good | I like the pitiful me |
| 激しい雨は上がり 誓いの虹がかかる 生まれ変われた時 君がまたそばにいてくれたら 時計の針が二度と 過去に戻らぬように 濡れたアスファルトに叩きつければ 銃声のような F i n a l | Hageshii ame wa agari chikai no niji ga kakaru | Umarekawareta toki kimi ga mata soba ni ite kuretara | Tokei no hari ga nido to kako ni modoranu you ni | Nureta asufaruto ni tatakitsukereba | Juusei no you na F i n a l | The fierce rain ends and the promised rainbow appears | If you’ll be by my side again when you’re reborn | So that the needles of the clock won’t ever return to the past | When it beats down on the soaked asphalt | The F i n a l sounds like gunshots |
| 無数の傷が 思い出を乞う 痛みは叫ぶ 「決して忘れないでいて」って でもね‥‥タ イ ム リ ミ ッ ト もうね‥‥ツ カ レ タ ヨ 私 悲しみは誰にも引き渡さない! | Musuu no kizu ga omoide o kou | Itami wa sakebu “kesshite wasurenaide ite” tte | Demo ne….ta i mu ri mi t to | Mou ne….tsu ka re ta yo | Watashi kanashimi wa dare ni mo hikiwatasanai! | Countless wounds beg for recollections | The pain yells, “Please don’t ever forget” | But…time limit | Already…I’m tired | I won’t hand over the sadness to anyone! |
| 握りしめた手を手が 誓いの証だから 信じること 受け取ること はじめて知る気がした 雷鳴は空のはて 遠すぎて聞こえない 今は君のむくもりだけ感じて 目を閉じれば F i n a l | Nigirishimeta te to te ga chikai no akashi da kara | Shinjiru koto uketoru koto hajimete shiru ki ga shita | Raimei wa sora no hate toosugite kikoenai | Ima wa kimi no nukumori dake kanjite | Me o tojireba F i n a l | Because our hands gripped together are the proof of our vow | I felt that for the first time, I knew about believing and accepting | The thunder is at the sky’s edge, too far away to be heard | Now I just feel your warmth | When I close my eyes, it’s the F i n a l |
| だれが 罪と罰を人に与えたの? 支配者はどこにもいない 感情の奴隷でいたいだけ | Dare ga tsumi to batsu o hito ni ataeta no? | Shihaisha wa doko ni mo inai | Kanjou no dorei de itai dake | Who bestowed crimes and punishments upon people? | Dictators don’t exist anywhere | There only exist slaves to emotions | ||||
| 誰かのせいにすれば 楽に生きられるから 私 いつも被害者だけ演じては泣いていたよ | Dareka no sei ni sureba raku ni ikirareru kara | Watashi itsumo higaisha dake enjite wa naite ita yo | Because I’m able to live comfortably when I put the blame on someone else | I always just played the role of the victim and cried afterwards | ||||||
| 乱反射したままで 動けなくなる夢に どうか君が命を吹き込んで欲しい 永遠のような F i n a l | Ranhanshashita mama de ugokenaku naru yume ni | Douka kimi ga inochi o fukikonde hoshii | Eien no you na F i n a l | In a dream that becomes immovable while it is reflected diffusely | Please, I want you to breathe life into me | An eternity-like F i n a l | ||||
そしてまた |
Soshite mata | And again we’ll… |
