Lyrics and translation Hiroko Sebu - まぼろしを見た

まぼろしを見た

重い鉄屑は 砂埃に消えた
遠くで響く 汽笛に混ざって飛んだ
ぼくは見たはずだ これは幻なんかじゃない

青空飛ぶ鳥 羨む小鳩がぽつり
大きな眼鏡橋 小さな二つの背中
君は見てるかい そんなとりとめない小さな日々を

夕日を背負った そのピエロは帰っていった
さよならさえ言えずに 誰にも気づかれずに
でも僕は見てたんだ 泣かない君にも涙を

ほんの少しだけ 違えば幸せかな
いつか辿り着くかな こんなに泣いたんだから
バカだろ バカだろ

愚かな娘も昔は無邪気だったのにな
素敵な靴も可愛い笑顔に映えた
君の言う 昔は失われたと言うのかい？

電車に揺られて 終わらない日々を進む
たった一度だけ 風船の虹を見たんだ
もう一度だけでいい その姿見せておくれよ

ほんの少しだけ 君を愛したい
いつか辿り着くさ そんなに泣かなくっても
バカだな バカだな

思い届く頃 砂埃が舞った
遠くで君たちは 汽笛に混ざって消えた

Illusion

The heavy scrap metal disappeared into the sand
It flew away in the distance with the ringing whistle
I must have seen it, it can't be an illusion

The birds flying in the blue sky, a little dove looked enviously
A big bridge with eyeglasses, two little backs
Do you see it too, such fragmented little days

The clown carrying the sunset went home
Without even saying goodbye, unnoticed by anyone
But I saw it, tears in your wordless eyes

If it were just a little different, would it make us happy?
Maybe we'll get there someday, after all this crying
You're silly, you're silly

That foolish girl, innocent once upon a time
Lovely shoes that matched her lovely smile
What you say, the past is gone, is that what you're trying to say?

Shaking on the train, going through endless days
Just once, I saw a rainbow of balloons
Just one more time, show me that scene again

I just want to love you a little
We'll get there someday, no need to cry this much
You're silly, you're silly

As I reached the end of my thoughts, dust swirled in the air
Far away, you all disappeared with the whistle
