Lyrics[]

Japanese (日本語歌詞)	Romaji (ローマ字)
薄紅の時を彩る花びら	usubeni no toki o irodoru hanabira
ひらひら舞う光の中	hirahira mau hikari no naka
僕は笑えたはず	boku wa waraeta hazu

鮮やかな日々に僕らが残した	azayaka na hibi ni bokura ga nokoshita
砂の城は波に溶けて	suna no shiro wa nami ni tokete
きっと夢が終わる	kitto yume ga owaru

真っ白な世界で目を覚ませば	masshiro na sekai de me o samaseba
伸ばす腕は何もつかめない	nobasu ude wa nani mo tsukamenai
見上げた空が近くなるほどに	miageta sora ga chikaku naruhodo ni
僕は何を失った？	boku wa nani o ushinatta?

透通る波	sukitooru nami
映る僕らの影は蒼く遠く	utsuru bokura no kage wa aoku tooku
あの日僕は世界を知り	ano hi boku wa sekai o shiri
それは光となった	sore wa hikari to natta

僕は歌うよ	boku wa utau yo
笑顔をくれた君が泣いてるとき	egao o kureta kimi ga naiteru toki
ほんの少しだけでもいい	hon no sukoshi dake de mo ii
君の支えになりたい	kimi no sasae ni naritai

僕が泣いてしまった日に	boku ga naite shimatta hi ni
君がそうだったように	kimi ga sou datta you ni

僕がここに忘れたもの	boku ga koko ni wasureta mono
全て君がくれた宝物	subete kimi ga kureta takaramono
形のないものだけが	katachi no nai mono dake ga
時の中で色褪せないまま	toki no naka de iroasenai mama

透通る波	sukitooru nami
何度消えてしまっても	nando kiete shimatte mo
砂の城を僕は君と残すだろう	suna no shiro o boku wa kimi to nokosu darou
そこに光を集め	soko ni hikari o atsume

僕は歌うよ	boku wa utau yo
笑顔をくれた君が泣いてるとき	egao o kureta kimi ga naiteru toki
頼りのない僕だけれど	tayori no nai boku da keredo
君のことを守りたい	kimi no koto o mamoritai

遠く離れた君のもとへ	tooku hanareta kimi no moto e
この光が	kono hikari ga
空を越えて羽ばたいてゆく	sora o koete habataite yuku
そんな歌を届けたい	sonna uta o todoketai

僕が送るものは全て	boku ga okuru mono wa subete
形のないものだけど	katachi no nai mono dakedo
君の心の片隅で	kimi no kokoro no katasumi de
輝く星になりたい	kagayaku hoshi ni naritai

Petals painting the pink of twilight
In the dancing light
I think I managed to smile

The sandcastles we left behind on those brilliant days
Melt in the waves
The dream must be ending

As I wake in a world of pure white
My outstretched arms find nothing to hold
No matter how close the sky above
What have I lost?

Translucent waves
However many rise and fall
I'll leave these sandcastles with you
There I'll gather up the light

And sing
You made me smile, and when you cry
Even though I'm weak
I want to protect you

This light will beat its wings
And cross the sky
To reach you, so far away
That's the song I want you to hear

Though everything I have to give
May have no form
I want to shine like a star
In a corner of your heart

就算伸直双臂还是什么都抓不紧	jiusuan shen zhi shuang bi haishi shenme dou zhua bu jin
每当距离所仰望的天空越来越接近	mei dang juli suo yangwang de tiankong yue lai yue jiejin
我是否也失去了某些东西？	wo shifou ye shiqule mou xie dongxi?

映照在清澈透明的波浪里	yingzhao zai qingche touming de bolang li
我们的影子既蓝又遥远相距	women de yingzi ji lan you yaoyuan xiangju
那一天我终于认识了这世界	na yitian wo zhongyu renshile zhe shijie
看着它放着光芒照亮一切	kanzhe ta fangzhe guangmang zhao liang yiqie

我将会放声歌唱	wo jiang hui fangsheng gechang
当我发现给我笑容的你躲在一旁哭泣	dang wo faxian gei wo xiaorong de ni duo zai yipang kuqi
就算是只有一点点也没关系	jiusuan shi zhiyou yi diandian ye meiguanxi
我希望能用尽全力支持你	wo xiwang neng yong jin quanli zhichi ni

如同那一天当我在一旁哭泣	rutong na yitian dang wo zai yipang kuqi
毫不迟疑对我伸出手的你	hao bu chiyi dui wo shen chushou de ni

我遗忘在这里这一切的回忆	wo yiwang zai zheli zhe yiqie de huiyi
全部都是你以前所送给我的珍品	quanbu dou shi ni yiqian suo song gei wo de zhenpin
但是只有那些无形的东西	danshi zhiyou naxie wuxing de dongxi
在时空之流中也绝不会褪色消去	zai shikong zhi liu zhong ye jue bu hui tuise xiaoqu

即使在清澈透明的波浪里	jishi zai qingche touming de bolang li
消失了无数次那样也没关系	xiao shi liao wushu ci nayang ye meiguanxi
我和你一定会再把沙堡建起	wo he ni yiding hui zai ba sha bao jian qi
然后在那里一起收集光明	ranhou zai nali yiqi shouji guangming

我将会放声歌唱	wo jiang hui fangsheng gechang
当我发现给我笑容的你躲在一旁哭泣	dang wo faxian gei wo xiaorong de ni duo zai yipang kuqi
虽然我并不太能够让人放心	suiran wo bing bu tai nenggou rang ren fangxin
但是我依然想尽力守护你	danshi wo yiran xiang jinli shouhu ni

我想要传达给在遥远彼方的你	wo xiang yao chuanda gei zai yaoyuan bifang de ni
这道光芒将会划破这片天际展开双翅而去	zhe dao guangmang jiang hui hua po zhe pian tianji zhankai shuang chi er qu
