| たまには砕けて話すか、 | Guess I’ll talk casually once in a while, |
| 昔は「詞が衒学」ってよく…あぁ、 | I used to get “your lyrics are pedantry” a lot… ah, |
| そういえば最近、過去の話が多いな、 | Speaking of, lots of talk about the past recently; |
| 何年目？この季節を過ごすのは、 | How many years have I passed this season already? |
| 数多を渡り歩いていつしか、 | Having traveled through so many places, |
| 失う物が多くなった、 | Before I realized, I’ve come to have more to lose; |
| それでもなお、また筆を取るのは、 | Even so, again I take up my brush, |
| 残したい何かがまだあるから。 | ’Cause there’s still something I want to leave behind. |
| 溶けてしまった言葉を、 | I lay my dissolved words |
| 一つ二つ重ねて、 | One upon another, |
| 君の青に乗せていく。 | And entrust them to your blue. |
| 君の青に乗せていく。 | And entrust them to your blue. |
| [Drop] | |
| あの頃のことを思い出すんだ、 | I think of things back then, |
| もう消えちまったあいつの事とか。 | About the guy who’s already gone2 and stuff. |
| ただ、自分らはやっていくと、 | Still, we vowed to carry on |
| 誓った声明文、１２０秒、 | In our statement, 120 seconds long; |
| ここではその祈りすらも、 | Here, even that prayer |
| 簡単に値段がつけられてしまうが、 | Has a price easily attached; |
| 誰にも値踏めやしない青さを、 | But I still keep inside my heart |
| 今も心に蔵っているんだ。 | That blue no one can assign a price to. |
| 溶けてしまった記憶を、 | I lay my dissolved memories |
| 一つ二つ重ねて、 | One upon another, |
| また青に乗せていく。 | And again entrust them to the blue. |
| また青に乗せていく。 | And again entrust them to the blue. |
