Текст и перевод песни Aimer - 蝶々結び

蝶々結び

片っぽで丸を作って
しっかり持ってて
もう片っぽでその丸の後ろを
ぐるっと回って
間にできたポッケに入って
出て来るの待ってて
出てきたところを迎えにきて
「せーの」で引っぱって
はじめはなんとも
情けない形だとしても
同じだけ力を込めて
羽根は大きく
結び目は固く
なるようにきつく
結んでいてほしいの
腕はここに
思い出は遠くに
置いておいてほしい
片っぽでも引っ張ちゃえば
ほどけちゃうけど
作ったもの壊すのは
遥かに簡単だけど
だけどほどく時も
そう、ちゃんと
同じようにね
分かってるよ
でもできたらね
「せーの」で引っ張って
ほどけやしないように
と願って力込めては
広げすぎた羽根に
戸惑う
羽根は大きく
結び目は固く
なるようにきつく
結んでいてほしいの
夢はここに
思い出は遠くに
気づけばそこにある
くらいがいい
黙って引っ張ったりしないでよ
不格好な蝶にしないでよ
結んだつもりが
ほどいていたり
緩めたつもりが
締めていたり
この蒼くて広い世界に
無数に散らばった中から
別々に二人選んだ糸を
お互いたぐり寄せ合ったんだ
結ばれたんじゃなく結んだんだ
二人で 「せーの」 で引っ張ったんだ
大きくも
小さくも
なりすぎないように
力を込めたんだ

Butterfly Knot

Make a circle with one end,
Hold it tightly.
With the other end, go around the back of the circle,
Make a full turn.
Slip into the pocket you've created,
Wait for it to come out.
When it emerges, go meet it,
Pull together on "one, two, three!"
Even if at first,
It's a pathetic shape,
With equal strength,
Wings wide,
Knot firm,
Tightly, as if it can't be untied,
Please tie it for me.
Keep your arms here,
Leave memories far behind,
I want you to leave them behind.
If you pull on even one end,
It will come undone, but
Breaking what we've made
Is far easier, but
But even when untying,
Yes, properly,
Just like that, you see.
I understand,
But if possible,
On "one, two, three," pull together.
So that it won't come undone,
I pray, putting strength into it,
Confused by the wings spread too wide.
Confused.
Wings wide,
Knot firm,
Tightly, as if it can't be untied,
Please tie it for me.
Dreams are here,
Memories far away,
Good if they're just there,
When I notice them.
Don't pull silently,
Don't make it an awkward butterfly.
When I thought I tied it,
It's coming undone,
When I thought I loosened it,
It's tightening.
In this blue and vast world,
Among countless scattered threads,
We each chose a thread separately,
And drew them together.
Not tied, but we tied them.
Together, on "one, two, three," we pulled.
Not too big,
Not too small,
So it wouldn't become either,
We put our strength into it.
