24 Jikan No Shinwa

24 Hour Myth

24 Jikan No Shinwa

A photograph on my knee
ひざにおいたフォトグラフ
Hiza ni oita fotogurafu
Your town
あなたのまちは
Anata no machi wa
Gave me the joy of meeting and tears
であいのよろこびとなみだをくれた
Deai no yorokobi to namida wo kureta

If you had held me tighter
もっとよわくだきしめてくれたら
Motto yowaku dakishimete kuretara
Surely, you would have forgotten me sooner
きっとはやくあなたをわすれたのに
Kitto hayaku anata wasuretanoni

The dream I saw that day still wanders in my heart
あの日みたゆめがいまでもこころさまよう
Ano hi mita yume ga imademo kokoro samayou
The myth and poetry of 24 hours
24(にじゅうよん)じかんのしんわとぽーても
24(Ni-juu yon) jikan no shinwa to poote mo
I must remember the dream I saw that day
あの日みたゆめはおぼえていてはいけない
Ano hi mita yume wa oboeteite wa ikenai
The dream of that person I can't leave behind
はなれていかないあのひとのゆめ
Hanarete ikanai ano hito no yume

The only things you left behind
あなたがふたつだけのこしたものは
Anata ga futatsu dake nokoshita mono wa
The name of the slope and a dress of lies
さかみちのなまえとうそのあどれす
Sakamichi no namae to uso no adoresu

If the night had been kinder to us
もっとよるがふたりにやさしくて
Motto yoru ga futari ni yasashikute
If it had continued spinning around us forever
ずっとずっとまわりつづけたなら
Zutto zutto mawari tsuzuketa nara

I remember your lips that I touched playfully
ふれたくちびるがいたずらにおぼえてる
Fureta kuchibiru ga itazura ni oboeteru
Even though I know the myth of 24 hours
24(にじゅうよん)じかんのしんわとしっても
24(Ni-juu yon) jikan no shinwa to shitte mo
I must believe in the promise of that day
あの日のやくそくしんじていてはいけない
Ano hi no yakusoku shinjiteite wa ikenai
I want to touch that warmth once more
もういちどふれたいあのぬくもりに
Mouichido furetai ano nukumori ni

Your lips that I touched still wander in my heart
ふれたくちびるがいまでもこころさまよう
Fureta kuchibiru ga imademo kokoro samayou
Even though I know the myth of 24 hours
24(にじゅうよん)じかんのしんわとしっても
24(Ni-juu yon) jikan no shinwa to shitte mo
I must remember the dream I saw that day
あの日みたゆめはおぼえていてはいけない
Ano hi mita yume wa oboeteite wa ikenai
The myth of that day I can't leave behind
はなれていかないあの日のしんわ
Hanarete ikanai ano hi no shinwa
