あなたの香りが染み付きそのまま消えてくれない 折られた想いは傷付きそのまま癒えてくれない 雨の音に隠れてたい 濡れたこの素肌に守られてたい 思えばあなたが居てくれたことは少なくて 朝焼け目覚めて懐かしい顔を又忘れて あの夜あの丘で愛し合った二人は あの夜あの丘で愛し続けるから 例えば何時の日かあなたが心変わってくれたら あたしは底から雨を置き去って会いに行くから 冷たい体を脱ぎ捨て裸で飛べる日まで あなたの優しさ咽に積もる程思い出させて 雨の音に隠れてたい 濡れたこの素肌に守られてたい Your scent has soaked in and it won’t go away for me. My broken heart has been wounded and it won’t heal for me. I want to stay hiding in the sound of the rain. I want to stay protected by this wet bare skin. As I recall, you weren’t here for me much. Dawn, I awake and forget a familiar face again. The two who loved each other that night on that hill, will continue to love each other that night on that hill. For example, if one day you have a change of heart, I will leave the rain behind and go see you. Until the day I can take off this cold body and fly naked, let me remember your kindness to the point it piles in my throat. I want to stay hiding in the sound of the rain. I want to stay protected by this wet bare skin.

おまえのこともっと知りたくて 思い切り声かけたな、でも 近ずくたびちょっと遠ざけて 想いは届かないまま あとちょっとだけでも一緒に居たかったな 遠くて届かないとこにいても そうっと想ってる、ずっと見守ってる 遠くて届かない、でも何処にいても そうっと想ってる、ずっと見守ってる 近ずくたびちょっと遠ざけて 独りな思いよくしたな、それでも 結局届いちゃったのかもね 気付くと隣に居てくれた あとちょっとだけでも一緒に居たかったな 遠くて届かないとこにいても そうっと想ってる、ずっと見守ってる 遠くて届かない、でも何処にいても そうっと想ってる、ずっと見守ってる いつの間にか月日過ぎ去って いつの間にかおまえは居なくて でも、いつまでもいつまでも 変わらないよ、ここに居るよ With the desire of getting to know you I daringly started a conversation but every time we got closer, I created a little distance and my feelings were left uncommunicated I wish we could have been together for even just a little longer Even if you’re far away, if you’re somewhere unreachable know that I’m thinking of you, that I’m caring for you You’re so far and unreachable, but no matter where you are I’m thinking of you, I’m caring for you Every time we got closer, I created a little distance and I often felt alone but after all, maybe they were communicated now that I remember, you were always there for me I wish we could have been together for even just a little longer Even if you’re far away, if you’re somewhere unreachable know that I’m thinking of you, that I’m caring for you You’re so far and unreachable, but no matter where you are I’m thinking of you, I’m caring for you At some point time passed by at some point you were no longer next to me but I’m here unchanged forever and ever

Washed Away 03:50
風に、雨に流され、流されて行く 繰り返し、繰り返し流されて行く さらり洗い流され、忘れられて行く 繰り返し、繰り返し流されて行く あ〜、流された命の数だけ 船を浮かばして 灯して、飛ばして、見届け、 出して、 流され、流されて行く 風に、雨に流され、流されて行く 繰り返し、繰り返し流されて行く By wind, by rain, (it is/ I am/ you are/ they are) washed away. Repeatedly, and repeatedly, washed away. Lightly, washed away, and forgotten. Repeatedly, and repeatedly, washed away. For every life washed away, let us float a ship. Let us light it, fly it, send it off... and (they) wash away.

Rain Dance 04:10
ひたひた踊れ烏の声と 三日月重ねて雲を舞降りて 小鳥が遊ぶよ、竹林で 小鳥が遊ぶよ、羽合わして 「やまないで」とだけ交わして 踊れ、踊れ、烏の歌に誘われ踊れ 踊れ、歌え、グラスを交わす日までよ歌え 踊れ、歌え、歌え、歌え、歌え ひたひた訪れガラスの向こう 窓戸を開いて中まで招いて 小鳥が遊ぶよ、竹林で 小鳥が遊ぶよ、羽合わして 「やまないで」とだけ交わして 踊れ、踊れ、烏の歌に誘われ踊れ 踊れ、歌え、グラスを交わす日までよ歌え 踊れ、歌え、歌え、歌え、歌え 歌え、歌え、歌え 雨よ、戻れ、踊れ Dance softly to the voice of the crow, against the crescent moon, and descend from the clouds. Baby birds play in the bamboo forest, their wings in coordination, the only words exchanged: “Don’t stop (raining.)” Dance, dance, enticed by the crow’s song, dance. Dance, sing, until the day we clink glasses, sing. Dance, sing, sing, sing, sing… It visits softly behind the glass, I open the windows and doors and invite it inside. Baby birds play in the bamboo forest, their wings in coordination, the only thing exchanged: “Don’t stop (raining.)” Dance, dance, enticed by the crow’s song, dance. Dance, sing, until the day we clink glasses, sing. Dance, sing, sing, sing, sing…

愛が、恋が、 こぼれ落ちる (こぼれ落ちる) 裸になった体 綺麗な姿は キラキラ光り輝いて あなたが隣にいるなら 髪乱れるまで体絡ませ 寄り添いで泳いでいたい 裸足で辿った 森の奥まで あなたの後追った 緑の奥まで (緑の奥まで) 裸になった体 日焼けた素肌は キラキラ光り輝いて あなたが隣にいるなら 日が焼けるまで体絡ませ 寄り添いで泳いでいたい お酒をもう少しだけ 目が回るまで踊っていたい 紙切れを舌に押し当てて 目を閉じてまた戻って見たい 煙で間合いを曇らせて 目の前も見えなくなるくらい (見えない) 綺麗な声鳴り響かせて あなたが隣にいるなら Love — romance spills out. Our naked bodies, our beauty sparkles in the light, and as long as you’re next to me, I wanna stay swimming side by side, entangled, until our hairs become tangled. With my naked feet I followed into the heart of the forest. I followed after you into the heart of the green. Our naked bodies, our suntanned skin sparkles in the light, and as long as you’re next to me, I wanna stay swimming side by side, entangled, until the evening sun burns out. Just a little more alcohol please. I wanna stay dancing until I get too dizzy. Press a piece of paper down onto my tongue. I wanna try going back. Cloud up the space between us with smoke so thick I can’t see what’s right in front of my eyes. And ring out your beautiful voice. …as long as you’re next to me.
