Kanji (Full Version)
ひからびた言葉をつないで それでも僕等シンプルな想いを伝えたいだけなの 吹き抜けるくすんだあの日の風は 昨日の廃墟に打ち捨てて 君と笑う今を生きるのだ

それでもあの出来事が君を苦しめるだろ？ だからこそサヨナラなんだ

このまま何も残らずにあなたと分かち合うだけ やがて僕等はそれが全てだと気がついて 悲しみを頬伝って涙の河になるだけ 揺れる想いは強い渦になって溶け合うのよ

いらだちとか少し位の孤独だとかは 一体それが僕等にとって何だってんだろ？ 今はドラマの中じゃたいんだぜ 「ねぇ、どうだい？」 その声に僕等振り返っても誰もいないだろ？ だからこそ僕等高らかに叫ぶのだ

それでも僕等の声はどこにも届かないだろ？ だからこそサヨナラなんだ

そしてまた時は流れてあなたと分かち会うだけ やがて僕等はそれが全てだと気がついて 悲しみは頬を伝ってひとすじの詩になるだけ 揺れる想いは強い渦になって溶け合うのよ 溶け合うのよ、溶け合うのよ、溶け合うのよ

吹き抜けるくすんだあの日の風は 昨日の廃墟に打ち捨てて

このまま何も残らずにあなたと分かち合うだけ そしてあなたは今が全てだと気がついて 悲しみを頬伝って涙の河になるだけ そして僕等は淡い海になって溶け合うのよ

English (Full Version)
I'm connecting the words that had gone stale Though we just want to convey our simple feelings The sombre wind that blew on that day Is abandoning the ruins of yesterday So I can smile and live with you

But then, doesn't that incident torment you? That's why this is goodbye

As it is I'll only share things with you And before long we'll realise that that's everything My sadness flows down my cheeks and becomes just a river of tears These trembling feelings strongly swirl and melt together!

Things like irritation and a little bit of loneliness What do they mean to us? We're not in the middle of a drama now "Hey, what's up?" Even if we could turn back to that voice, no one would be there, would they? This is why we cry so loudly

But then, will our voices even reach anything? That's why this is goodbye

Again time goes on; I'll only share it with you And before long we'll realise that that's everything My sadness flows down my cheeks and becomes just one line poem These trembling feelings strongly swirl and melt together!

As it is there isn't anything except what we share And then you'll realise that the present is everything My sadness flows down my cheeks and becomes just a river of tears And then we become the pale see and melt together!
