Paroles et traduction Mika Nakashima - Kioku

Kioku

またあとで そう言って
いつまでも 見送った
近づいて 近づいて
見えたもの 信じたのに

途切れてく言葉から 伝わるもの
離れてく足音で 夢だと気づいた

ひとつ 記憶をたどるたび
いまも 色とりどりのシーン
失くした言葉が 輝いてみえた
いまもう一度 またもう一度

ふたつ 記憶をたどるたび
いまも 胸に残るいたみ
失くした言葉から みえた
戻らない 優しさを

あの日見た あの笑顔
忘れない 忘れられない
隣には ぼくじゃない
気付かずに 過ぎてった

責めたりはしなかった 愛してたから
悔しいのはあの笑顔 あまりに綺麗で

ひとつ 記憶をたどるたび
いまも 色とりどりのシーン
失くした言葉が 輝いてみえた
いまもう一度 またもう一度

ふたつ 記憶をたどるたび
いまも 胸に残る痛み
失くした言葉から みえた
戻らない 優しさを

もしもまた君に会えたら
胸をはってこう言うだろう
ぼくほどにきみを愛したひとは居ない
そういまでも まだいまでも

帰る場所がなくなったら
いつだって待っているから
君があのときにみせた
あの笑顔で ぼくは言うよ

Memory

I said see you later
And forever, I waved goodbye
I drew closer, and closer
But what I saw, I believed

I felt it in your trailing words
In your fading footsteps, I knew it was a dream

One by one, as I trace back my memories
Even now, the scenes are still so vivid
The words I lost shimmer before my eyes
Once more, please, one more time

Two by two, as I trace back my memories
Even now, the pain lingers in my heart
From the words I lost, I saw
The kindness that will never return

That day, I saw that smile
I can't forget, I can't let go
Beside you was someone else
I didn't notice, I let it pass me by

I never blamed you, because I loved you
What hurts me most is that smile, so impossibly beautiful

One by one, as I trace back my memories
Even now, the scenes are still so vivid
The words I lost shimmer before my eyes
Once more, please, one more time

Two by two, as I trace back my memories
Even now, the pain lingers in my heart
From the words I lost, I saw
The kindness that will never return

If ever I were to meet you again
I would tell you, with my head held high
No one has ever loved you as much as I do
Yes, even now, to this day

If you ever lose your way
Know that I'll always be waiting for you
With that same smile you showed me back then
I'd tell you, I'd say
