Echoes

Kuon

The wind I longed for carries sand, searching only for your shadow.
あこがいた風は砂を運ぶあの人の面影だけを探す
Akogaita Kaze wa suna wo hakobu ano hito no omokage dake wo sagasu
As if drawn in, I keep walking.
引き寄せられるように私は歩む
hikiyoserareru you ni watashi wa ayumu
Yes, meetings are always the start of goodbyes.
そう出会いは別れの始まりいつも
Sou deai wa wakare no hajimari itsumo
Why do people pretend not to notice?
人はなぜ気付かないふりをしているのいだろう
Hito wa naze Kidzukanai furi o shiteiru noi darou
Reflect me in your clear, wind-like eyes.
風のような透き通る目に私を映して
Kaze no you na suki tooru me ni watashi wo utsushite

If I could see you one more time before this world ends,
この世界が終わる前にもう一度あなたに会えたら
Kono sekai ga owaru mae ni mou ichidou anata ni aetara
I could live more honestly, just like yesterday.
昨日よりも自分らしく素直に生きてゆけるのに
kinou yori mo jibunrashiku sunao ni ikite yukeru no ni
Even now, you burn with life, unchanged.
今も変わらずにあなたは命を燃やす
ima mo kawarazu ni anata wa inochi wo moyasu

I can't witness this star's end,
この星を見とどけることはできないけれど
Kono hoshi* wo mitodokeru koto wa dekinai keredo
but through the gaps in my fingers, I see your ghost in the sand.
零れる砂指の隙間から見えるあなたの幻
Koboreru suna yubi no sukima kara mieru anata no maboroshi

I don’t want to forget this sinking view, it’s so beautiful.
沈む景色忘れたくないこんなにも美しいのだと
Shizumu Keshiki wasuretakunai konna ni mo utsukushii no da to
Let even the tears I shed become a blessing, like rain that never fades.
流す涙のしずくさえ消えない恵みの雨となれ
Nagasu namida no shizuku sae kienai megumi no ame to nare

If I could see you one more time before this world ends,
この世界が終わる前にもう一度あなたに会えたら
Kono sekai ga owaru mae ni mou ichidou anata ni aetara
I could live more honestly, just like yesterday.
昨日よりも自分らしく素直に生きてゆけるのに
kinou yori mo jibunrashiku sunao ni ikite yukeru no ni
Even now, you burn with life, unchanged.
今も変わらずにあなたは命を燃やす
ima mo kawarazu ni anata wa inochi wo moyasu

I’m glad I met you, someone I can call a friend.
友と呼べるようあなたに会えてよかった
Tomo to yoberu you anata ni aete yokatta
