Inochi No Namae

The Name of Life

Inochi No Namae

Drawing a line in the blue sky
あおぞらにせんをひく
Aozora ni sen wo hiku
The whiteness of the airplane's contrail
ひこうきぐものしろさは
Hikoukigumo no shirosa wa
It continues endlessly, forever
ずっとどこまでもずっとつづいてく
Zutto dokomademo zutto tsuzuiteku
As if knowing tomorrow
あすをしってたみたい
Asu wo shitte'ta mitai

Breathing softly in my chest
むねであさくいきをしたてた
Mune de asaku iki wo shiteta
I remember the warm wind on my cheeks
あついほおさましたかぜもおぼえてる
Atsui hoo samashita kaze mo oboeteru

The feet that crouch in front of the future
みらいのまえにすくむてあしは
Mirai no mae ni sukumu teashi wa
Are separated by a quiet voice
しずかなこえにほどかれて
Shizuka na koe ni hodokarete
What I long for so much that I want to scream
さけびたいほどなつかしいのは
Sakebitai hodo natsukashii no wa
Is one life, the light of many summers
ひとつのいのちまなつのひかり
Hitotsu no inochi manatsu no hikari
The sunlight that swayed towards you
あなたのかたにゆれてたこもれび
Anata no kata ni yureteta komorebi

The crushed white ball
つぶれたしろいぼおる
Tsubureta shiroi BOORU
The wind fluttered the petals
かぜがちらしたはなびら
Kaze ga chirashita hanabira
The unseen river that carries two
ふたつをうかべてみえないかわは
Futatsu wo ukabete mienai kawa wa
Sings as it flows
うたいながらながれてく
Utainagara nagareteku

Secrets, lies, and joys
ひみつもうそもよろこびも
Himitsu mo uso mo yorokobi mo
The children of the gods who swallowed the universe
うちゅうをうんだかみさまのこどもたち
Uchuu wo unda kami-sama no kodomo-tachi

The heart that crouches in front of the future
みらいのまえにすくむこころが
Mirai no mae ni sukumu kokoro ga
Will someday remember its name
いつかなまえをおもいだす
Itsuka namae wo omoidasu
What I cherish so much that I want to scream
さけびたいほどいとしいのは
Sakebitai hodo itoshii no wa
Is one life, the place of return
ひとつのいのちかえりつくばしょ
Hitotsu no inochi kaeritsuku basho
The summer day that won't disappear from my fingers
わたしのゆびにきえないなつのひ
Watashi no yubi ni kienai natsu no hi
