Текст и перевод песни Shintaro Aoki - 奏(かなで)

奏(かなで)

改札の前つなぐ手と手
いつものざわめき、新しい風

明るく見送るはずだったのに
うまく笑えずに君を見ていた
君が大人になってくその季節が
悲しい歌で溢れないように

最後に何か君に伝えたくて
さよならに代わる言葉を
僕は探してた

君の手を引くその役目が
僕の使命だなんてそう思ってた
だけど今わかったんだ
僕らならもう
重ねた日々がほら
導いてくれる

君が大人になってくその時間が
降り積もる間に僕も変わってく
たとえばそこにこんな歌があれば
ふたりはいつもどんな時も
つながっていける

突然ふいに鳴り響くベルの音
焦る僕 解ける手
離れてく君
夢中で呼び止めて
抱き締めたんだ
君がどこに行ったって
僕の声で守るよ

君が僕の前に現れた日から
何もかもが違くみえたんだ
朝も光も涙も、歌う声も
君が輝きをくれたんだ
抑えきれない思いを
この声に乗せて
遠く君の街へ届けよう
たとえばそれが
こんな歌だったら
僕らは何処にいたとしても
つながっていける

Melody (Kanade)

Our hands clasp in front of the ticket gate,
Amidst the familiar clamor, the breeze of change blows.

I intended to bid you farewell with a smile
But my laughter escaped me as I gazed at you,
For the season when you grow into an adult
Should not be filled with songs of sorrow.

I desperately searched for something to convey to you,
A word to replace my goodbyes,
Something meaningful.

I used to believe that guiding you,
Was my destiny, my life's purpose.
But now I see,
For you and me,
The path we've shared,
Will guide our way.

The time when you mature into an adult,
Will pass me by while I too change and grow.
Perhaps then, there will be a song such as this,
To keep us connected, no matter what life brings.
Connected forever.

Suddenly, the bell blares,
Startling me. Our hands part.
You move away.
I desperately call out to you,
And embrace you tightly.
Wherever you may go,
My voice will protect you.

From the day you appeared before me,
Everything seemed different.
The mornings, the sunlight, my tears, my songs,
You gave them all new meaning.
I cannot contain these feelings,
And so I pour them into my voice,
Carrying them to your distant city.
Perhaps this,
This song,
Will keep us connected, no matter where we are,
Forever.
