いつまでも追いかけてるあなたの残像を

夢にみる横顔はあの頃のままで 背の高い草並みに走り去って消えた

思い出す記憶をかけわけ後追うぼくわ もどかしくも息を切らして最後は届かずに

遠く

何年前のことでしょう

二度と戻れないあの場所に 置いてきしまったぼくの心さ

もしも夢ならば 取り戻せないのなら この気持ちはどうして伝えればいいの?

いまだに追いかてるあの日の残像を

悲しみに明け暮れながらも今 あなたなき世界でぼくは生きるよ

もしも夢ならば 取り戻せないのなら この気持ちはどうして伝えればいいの? いまだに追いかけているあの日の残像を 悲しみに明け暮れながらも今 あなたなき世界でぼくは生きるよ

いつの日かすべて忘れてしまうその時が この悲しみも思い出せなくなるくらいなら あぁ 深い深い胸の痛みも 癒えないままで残しておいて 忘れちゃいけないぼくの心さ

もしも夢でなら あなたと会えるのなら この気持ちも忘れずにい続けられるよ いつまでも追いかけてる あの日の残像を 悲しみに明け暮れながらも今 あなたなき世界でぼくは生きるよ

あなたがいなくなっても 廻り続けてる世界で あの日の記憶はまだ生きている 僕の隣で

もしも夢でまた あなたに会えるのなら その横顔 この目に焼き付けておこう

もしも夢でなら あなたと会えるのなら この気持ちはきっと褪せることもなく いつかどこかでまた 会う時が来るまで 悲しみは強がりで抱きしめて あなたなき世界でぼくは生きるよ

Eternally chasing your afterimage.

In my dream I see the side of your face as it is in those days vanished, running away into the back of ordinary tall grass.

I chase a distant reason to start recalling that memory. I arrive at the conclusion out of breath, and irritated.

Far away.

What year that matter of the past is?

I'll never turn back to that place again. My heart intent on leaving behind a "damn it".

If it's a dream then I don't want to get it back. That's why it's alright to convey this feeling, right?

Even now I still chase that sunshine's afterimage.

Both morning and evening also this present, I'm in sorrow. In a world without you, I'll try to live on.

English (Full Version)
Chasing your afterimage eternally

The side of your face I see in my dreams is just like it was in those days ran away behind the tall grass, and vanished chasing it, running through distant memories irritatingly I ran out of breath, unable to reach the end, far away how many years ago was this? In the place I will never return to again, back there I left my heart

If it's a dream, if I can't get it back, how should I convey this feeling? Still chasing the afterimage of that day spending the time in sadness, I'll live in the world without you

The time I forget everything some day if I won't be able to remember this sadness, ah keep this deep deep pain in my heart unhealed my heart that I shouldn't forget

If in my dreams I can see you again, this feeling can stay without being forgotten still chasing the afterimage of that day spending the time in sadness, I'll live in the world without you

In the world that keeps spinning even if you're gone beside me where the memories of that day are still alive

If in my dreams I can see you again, I'll keep that profile burned on my heart

If in my dreams I can see you again, this feeling will not fade until the time for us to meet somewhere comes embracing the sadness with bravado, I'll live in the world without you I'll live.
