Lyrics and translation Shizuka Kudo - 深海魚

深海魚

あふれだす水を行(ゆ)く
思いの深さ孕(はら)むまま
ひかり忘れた世界から
まぶしく碧いあの海へ

捨てたのは
正直な自分でしたか
飢えてても
いい娘のふりをしながら
笑いもしたし
乱暴な唇は
無口な声に 慣れた

だけど ほんとうは
血の色までは 変われない
覚えておいて 卑(いや)しいくらい
まだあなたを 愛せるのよ

さざ波の果てにある
入り江にはもう戻らない
釣人たちが群れるのは
ただ従順な心でしょ

あふれだす水を行く
思いの深さ孕むまま
ひかり忘れた世界から
まぶしく碧いあの海へ

見えたのは
透明な時間の壁
いつもそう
迷路を閉ざしてたのは
おそらくわたし
上手に泳ぐつもりが
もがいてたんだ きっと

なにも逆らわず
幸せばかり 貪(むさぼ)れば
すぐに夢など 痩せ細るもの
永遠さえ 失うのよ

しなやかに跳ねる空
まるで翼があるように
風も味方につけられる
眠れる時は いまじゃない

あふれだす水を行く
思いの深さ孕むまま
ひかり忘れた世界から
まぶしく碧いあの海へ

Deep Sea Fish

I walk through the overflowing water
Bearing the depth of my thoughts
From a world that has forgotten light
To that dazzlingly blue sea

What I cast away
Was it my honest self?
Even starving
I pretended to be a good girl
I laughed too
My unruly lips
Grew accustomed to a silent voice

But really,
I can't change my blood
Remember,
I can still love you

I will never return
To the inlet at the end of the ripples
Fishermen gather there
Because their hearts are docile

I walk through the overflowing water
Bearing the depth of my thoughts
From a world that has forgotten light
To that dazzlingly blue sea

What I saw
Was a transparent wall of time
As always
The one who closed off the maze
Was probably me
I intended to swim skillfully
But I must have struggled

If I don't resist anything
And only greedily seek happiness
My dreams will quickly wither away
And I will even lose eternity

The sky leaps gracefully
As if it has wings
I can even make the wind my ally
Now is not the time for slumber

I walk through the overflowing water
Bearing the depth of my thoughts
From a world that has forgotten light
To that dazzlingly blue sea
