Lyrics and translation Junichi Inagaki - Tsuiokuno Ballade

Tsuiokuno Ballade

空の 何処かで 星に 帰った君が
守ってる 僕のことを
信じて 生きてる

それでも いつか 涙も 枯れ果てた時
君に似た 優しいひと
大事に して来た

胸の奥 ずっと その奥深く
君の匂いの くちなし
雨に今日も咲いているよ

強く 抱きしめた
遠いあの日の 白い ドレスよ

いくら 悔やんでも
許せなくなる 辛い 別れを
人は 運命と呼ぶの？

遠い 星から 何も 出来ない僕を
微笑んで 見てる瞳
感じているのさ

切ないよ ほんと 切なすぎるよ
甘い匂いの くちなし
過ぎにし 移り香のように

強く抱きしめた
遠いあの日の
残る 面影
心で詫びても

嘘は つけない
君への 想い
それを 裏切りと言うの？

歯を食いしばり うつむいて
誰も 明日を 捜してる
ひとつの傘に 目と目で 語る
恋人たちよ
幸せであるように～

強く 抱きしめた
遠い あの日の 純愛の 日々
月日 重ねても
心に 秘めた 変わらぬ 愛を
きっと 追憶と 呼ぶの？

Ballad of Recalling

Somewhere in the sky a star has become you,
protecting the me you know.
I live by having faith in that.

But someday, when my tears finally dry up,
I'll value a person who's like you,
whom I've cared for ever since.

Deep in my heart, deep down,
the gardenia of your scent,
even today is blooming in the rain.

I tightly held you,
in that long-ago white wedding dress.

I regret it no matter how much,
but I cannot forgive the cruel breakup.
Do people call it destiny?

From a distant star, doing nothing, I,
am smiling as I watch you.
I can feel you.

It's sad, really it's too sad,
the sweet-smelling gardenia,
like a lingering memory.

I tightly held you,
on that distant day,
my remaining image.
Even if I say sorry in my heart,

I can't lie,
my feelings for you.
Is it called betrayal, then?

Gritting my teeth, looking down,
everyone is searching for tomorrow.
Speaking with their eyes under one umbrella,
lovers,
may you be happy. ~

I tightly held you,
in those pure, loving days long ago.
No matter how much time passes,
never-changing love, hidden in my heart.
Surely it's called a memory?
