Lyrics and translation Hideaki Tokunaga - 道標

道標

語り尽くせない夢を 語りあった
強がりだけの心を 支えあった
数えきれない夜明けを 重ねあった
不器用すぎる優しさ 分かちあった
瞳を閉じればそこに 18の二人がいる
思い出も 青い空も 色褪せはしないから
愛し続けてた 微笑みをたどれば
卒業写真の 君が笑っている
傷付けあって別れた 夜もあった
宛先のない明日を 誓いあった
つないだ指の隙間を 時だけが流れ過ぎた
さよならも言えないまま 逢えなくなったけれど
歩き続けてた 青春の舗道を
振り向けばいつも 君が隣にいる
匿名希望の街で 今日も僕は生きてゆく
ひとつになった心は 無口になったけれど
走り続けてた 傷付き汚れても
がむしゃらな僕の 選んだ道だから
愛し続けてた 微笑みをたどれば
卒業写真の 君が笑っている

Guidepost

We talked about dreams that are hard to explain
We supported each other even with only our pretense
We repeated countless dawns
We shared an awkward kindness
When I close my eyes, I can see the eighteen-year-old you and me there
Our memories and the blue sky will never fade, so
As I follow the smile I loved
You're smiling in our graduation photo
There were also nights we broke up hurting each other
We swore to a tomorrow with no destination
Time only flowed through the gaps between our fingers that were holding onto each other
We couldn't even say goodbye but couldn't see each other
The path of my youth on which I continued to walk
Whenever I look back, you're always next to me
In this city where people wish to be anonymous, I'm still alive today
Our hearts that became one became speechless, but
I continued to run even though I was wounded and filthy
Because it's the path my reckless self has chosen
As I follow the smile I loved
You're smiling in our graduation photo
