Текст и перевод песни 稲葉浩志 - photograph

photograph

手帳にいつも隠してある
あの人の写真
少しも色褪せることはない
石垣のある公園の桜の下
晴れているけど まだ少し寒そう

人は誰もがいつか旅立つと
わかってるつもりでいたけれど

何気に眩しいその笑顔眺めれば
静かに一筋涙はつたい落ちる
大事な誰かがいるなら
皆そうでしょう
もう一度会いたい たったそれだけ

あんまり本を読まない私だったから
少し離れてその本棚を見る
長い物語がひしめき並んでいる
いつかプレゼントしたのは木の栞

埃を踊らせる優しい陽差し
ゆっくり深く息を吐き出して

勇気をしぼってページをめくってみる
あなたの足取りを追いかけるように
カレンダーを後ろにめくっていけるのなら
もう一度会いたい たったそれだけ

何気に見つめているうち いったいどれだけ
時間が私をすり抜けてゆくの
行き場をなくした愛情を今はただ
この胸にそっとしみこませる

誰にも言わない 叶わぬ夢と知ってても
何もないままじゃ明日を待てない
大事な誰かがいるなら
皆そうでしょう
もう一度会いたい たったそれだけ

Hidden away in my notebook,
Is a photograph of you.
The colors haven't faded a bit,
By the stone wall in the park, beneath the cherry blossoms.
It's sunny, but you still seem a little cold.

I thought I understood that everyone leaves someday,
But I really didn't, did I?

As I gaze at your dazzling smile,
A single tear quietly traces a path down my cheek.
If you have someone precious,
Everyone feels this way, don't they?
I just want to see you again, that's all.

I wasn't much of a reader,
But I look at your bookshelf from a short distance.
Long stories are crammed together, side by side.
I gave you that wooden bookmark, remember?

The gentle sunlight makes the dust dance.
I slowly exhale a deep breath.

I muster the courage to turn the page,
As if tracing your footsteps.
If only I could flip the calendar back,
I just want to see you again, that's all.

As I gaze absentmindedly, how much time
Slips through my fingers?
My love, with nowhere to go, now just
Slowly soaks into my heart.

I won't tell anyone, even though I know it's a hopeless dream,
But I can't face tomorrow with nothing.
If you have someone precious,
Everyone feels this way, don't they?
I just want to see you again, that's all.
