Paroles et traduction Toko Furuuchi - Pale Moon

Pale Moon

あの冬のセーターは あなたの匂いと一緒に
クローゼットの奥にしまったのに、永遠に
何故か偶然でも 一度も出会わないね
きっとどんな顔をしたらいいか わからない
2つや3つなら恋と呼べるものもあったの
大事に、それなりに、あたためてたけど
もしももう一度 あの日の二人に戻って
答えを選べるとしたら
やっぱり今の毎日を、一緒にいない毎日を
選んでいたでしょうか?
同じ街にいれば いつかは出会ってしまう
きっとその笑顔を見たら上手く話せない
好きとか愛だとか まっすぐな言葉並べたら
余計に離れてく 気がしてこわいの
最後の夜に階段から見えた月は
哀しく蒼く浮かんでた
だんだん色あせていくの? 二人の眩しい想い出も
あの日の月のように
取り戻せるはずのないものを
人は手を伸ばして 追い続ける
あなたの遠い記憶は
心に明かりを灯すから
もしももう一度 あの日の二人に戻って
答えを選べるとしたら
やっぱり今の毎日を、一緒にいない毎日を
選んでいたでしょうか?
階段から見えた月は
哀しく蒼く浮かんでた
だんだん色あせていくの?
二人のまぶしい想い出も
あの日の月のように

Pale Moon

That winter sweater, together with your scent,
Despite being stored deep in the closet, eternally.
For some reason, we never come across each other, even by chance.
Perhaps because we don't know what expressions to make,
We had about two or three that we could call love.
Thoughtfully, as much as possible, I cherished them.
If we were to go back to being that day’s two people,
If we could choose the answer,
Would I still choose this present day, this day without you,
Over being together?
If we're in the same city, eventually we'll come across each other.
If I saw that smile, I wouldn’t be able to speak properly.
If I were to line up straightforward words like love or affection,
I have a feeling that we would just drift further apart.
On that final night, from the staircase, the moon I saw
Was sadly, palely floating.
Is it gradually fading? The dazzling memories of us two,
Just like that day's moon.
For the things that can’t be brought back,
People reach out and continue to chase.
The distant memory of you
Lights up my heart.
If we were to go back to being that day’s two people,
If we could choose the answer,
Would I still choose this present day, this day without you,
Over being together?
From the staircase, the moon I saw
Was sadly, palely floating.
Is it gradually fading?
The dazzling memories of us two,
Just like that day's moon.
