Lyrics and translation NORIKIYO - 砂の城

砂の城

唇より睫毛のキスが
好きだったけど
後のてれた瞳が一番
素敵だった

別れの時憎んだけれど
今はわかるの
優しさの陰であなたも
悩んでいたと

愛はまるで砂の城ね
出来た瞬間(とたん) 波がさらう
少し悲しいけど 想い出という名の
光る砂が残るわ

こぼれ落ちた涙は何も
恥ずかしくない
あなたひたむきに愛した
誇りだから

嘘をついて大人になるより
夢見る迷い子で
旅を続けていたいの

愛はまるで砂の城ね
潮が満ちれば 壊れてく
でも夢中で建てた 二人の指先に
光る砂が残るわ

愛はまるで砂の城ね
出来た瞬間(とたん) 波がさらう
少し悲しいけど 想い出という名の
光る砂が残るわ
光る砂が残るわ

Sandcastle

I used to prefer the kisses on my eyelashes,
Rather than those on my lips,
But the bashful look in your eyes afterwards,
Was the most beautiful thing.

Though I hated you when we parted,
I understand now,
That you too were struggling,
Hidden behind your kindness.

Love is like a sandcastle,
The moment it's built, the waves wash it away,
It's a little sad, but a shimmering sand,
Called memories, remains.

The tears that spilled down,
Are nothing to be ashamed of,
Because they are the pride,
Of having loved you with all my heart.

Rather than becoming an adult full of lies,
I want to remain a lost child who dreams,
And continue on this journey.

Love is like a sandcastle,
As the tide rises, it crumbles,
But on our fingertips that built it with passion,
A shimmering sand remains.

Love is like a sandcastle,
The moment it's built, the waves wash it away,
It's a little sad, but a shimmering sand,
Called memories, remains.
A shimmering sand remains.
