It's still going on and on

Intonation, I wonder if my words

Have been properly conveyed to you?

An invitation to the musical paradise

JAPANESE lyrics / romaji / english translation:

失くしたものを拾い集めて

子供の消えた砂場を歩く

これからきっと雨が降るだろう

鈴によく似た声を震わす

Nakushita mono wo hiroiatsumete

Kodomo no kieta sunaba wo aruku

Korekara kitto ame ga furu darou

Suzu ni yoku nita koe wo furuwasu

Picking up the lost pieces

I walk in the sandbox now empty of children

After this, rain will probably begin to fall

A bell-like voice trembles

手を伸ばしたくらいじゃ

届かないような距離で

もう少し寄り道をしていこう？

傘の無いフリして話した日のように

Te wo nobashita kurai ja

Todokanai you na kyori de

Mou sukoshi yorimichi wo shiteikou?

Kasa no nai furi shite hanashita hi no you ni

With the length of my outstretched arm

I am at a distance that seems unable to reach

Let's go on a detour for just a little longer?

Like the day I called out to you, pretending not to have an umbrella

心の糸を手繰り寄せ

いつか　結び目に気付くのなら

これから君と雨宿り

濡れた瞼の中に　傘を差す

Kokoro no ito wo taguriyose

Itsuka musubime ni kiduku no nara

Korekara kimi to amayadori

Nureta mabuta no naka ni kasa wo sasu

Pulling through the threads of your heart

If I am to find a knot in them someday

After this, I'll take shelter from the rain with you

In the vision between your wet eyelashes, I hold out an umbrella

思い返せば映画みたいな

恋をするほど幸せでした

それでも僕はわかっていたんだ

この世はやがて終わっていくんだ

Omoikaeseba eiga mitai na

Koi wo suru hodo shiawase deshita

Soredemo boku wa wakatteitanda

Kono yo wa yagate owatteikunda

Looking back, we were in complete bliss

Like the love portrayed in movies

But even then, I had known

This world would soon come to an end

手を伸ばしたくらいじゃ

届かないような距離で

世界が泣き止むまで待とう？

あの日の気持ちが雨に溶けるまで

Te wo nobashita kurai ja

Todokanai you na kyori de

Sekai ga nakiyamu made matou?

Ano hi no kimochi ga ame ni tokeru made

With the length of my outstretched arm

I am at a distance that seems unable to reach

Let's wait until the world ends its tears?

Until the feelings of that day melt in the rain

解けた糸は結わいても

決して結び目が消えないように

これから君と雨宿り

止まない涙を拭う

Toketa ito wa yuwaitemo

Kesshite musubime ga kienai you ni

Korekara kimi to amayadori

Yamanai namida wo nuguu

Even if the loosened threads are retied

I'll hope that our knot will never disappear

After this, I'll take shelter from the rain with you

Wiping away your unstopping tears

ひとつひとつの思い出が

もしも間違いと言われるなら

これから君と雨宿り

濡れた瞼の中に傘を差す

Hitotsu hitotsu no omoide ga

Moshimo machigai to iwareru nara

Korekara kimi to amayadori

Nureta mabuta no naka ni kasa wo sasu

If each and every one of these memories

Are to be called a mistake

After this, I'll take shelter from the rain with you

In the vision between your wet eyelashes, I hold out an umbrella

顔を隠さず泣いている

愛しての鈴が響く

Kao wo kakasazu naiteiru

Aishite no suzu ga hibiku

As you cry with your face uncovered

The bell calling "love me" resounds

世界がふたりだけみたい

Sekai ga futari dake mitai

The world seems like just the two of us

でも

Demo

But

想い想われ　恋焦がれ

空をため息の雲で包む

これから君と雨宿り

止まない涙を拭う

Omoi omoware koi kogare

Sora wo tameiki no kumo de tsutsumu

Korekara kimi to amayadori

Yamanai namida wo nuguu

To think and to be thought of, deeply in love

The sky is engulfed with clouds of sighs

After this, I'll take shelter from the rain with you

Wiping away your unstopping tears

心の糸を手繰り寄せ

いつかその先に気付くのなら

「僕を忘れてくれますか」

君に嫌われるようにつぶやいた

Kokoro no ito wo taguriyose

Itsuka sono saki ni kiduku no nara

"Boku wo wasurete kuremasu ka"

Kimi ni kirawareru you ni tsubuyaita

Pulling through the threads of your heart

If we are to discover that near future someday

"Could you please forget me?"

I whispered in order to be hated by you

*Translator's Note 1:

Cat's cradle is a two-person game played with a string tied into a knot from both ends. While not directly addressed, the image of cat's cradle is incorporated into the song through the constant motifs of "thread" and "knots". The duo's relationship is particularly emphasized by the necessity for two players and the knot's symbolism, as the cat cradle thread is completed when the two ends of the string are tied together and the completed shape is also in a loop, which goes on for all eternity. As such, the loosened or tied condition of the thread further expands on the emotions described in the rest of the lyrics.

*Translator's Note 2:

Taking shelter in the rain together is a romantic trope used often in movies and manga, but it can also be interpreted as a situation in which two people are forced in one place together, unable to leave until the rain stops.

Japanese lyrics / Romaji / English Translation:

五番街を歩いていた一人ぼっちの前夜

震えて送った招待状届いているかな

幼い日の約束は凍りついたままで

少しだけ時を止めてよ

Gobangai wo aruiteita hitoribocchi no zenya

Furuete okutta shoutaijou todoiteiru kana

Osanai hi no yakusoku wa kooritsuita mama de

Sukoshi dake toki wo tomete yo

The previous night spent alone walking on fifth avenue

I wonder if the invitation I sent while trembling has been delivered

The promise from our childhood days remains frozen in place

Just for a little while, please stop time

はね返りの私と世話焼きのあなた

迷子になるとすぐに見つけてくれたね

永遠に続くとそう信じていたけど

変わり行く日々を知る

Hanekaeri no watashi to sewayaki no anata

Maigo ni naru to sugu ni mitsukete kureta ne

Eien ni tsuduku to sou shinjiteita kedo

Kawariyuku hibi wo shiru

The rash me and the meddlesome you

When I got lost, you would soon find me, remember?

I believed this would continue forever

But I come to know of the changing days

“ハンサムな人が好き　お金持ちが好きよ”

建前の嘘は体に悪い　強がり足りなくて

"Handsome na hito ga suki, okanemochi ga suki yo"

Tatemae no uso wa karada ni warui, tsuyogari tarinakute

"I like handsome people, I like rich people you know"

A fronting lie is bad for my health, I'm lacking in my bluff

あなたが笑うだけで　あなたと笑うだけで

他には何もいらなかった

一人では立てなくて　心で笑えなくて

誰といても越えられなかった

あなたのこと忘れてもいいですか？

馬鹿だね　届かないのに

Anata ga warau dake de, anata to warau dake de

Hokani wa nani mo iranakatta

Hitori de wa tatenakute, kokoro de waraenakute

Dare to itemo koerarenakatta

Anata no koto wasuretemo ii desu ka?

Baka da ne, todokanai noni

So long as you laugh, so long as I can laugh with you

I didn't need anything else besides that

I can't stand up by myself, I can't laugh in my heart

Even if I was with someone else, I couldn't overcome it

Would it be alright if I forgot about you?

I'm an idiot, even though it won't reach

晴れ渡った空に祝福の鐘が

裏腹に不安な顔見せてしまうかな

昔と変わらないまんまの姿を見て

胸を撫で下ろしては泣きそうだよ

Harewatatta sora ni shukufuku no kane ga

Urahara ni fuan na kao misete shimau kana

Mukashi to kawaranai manma no sugata wo mite

Mune wo nadeoroshite wa nakisou dayo

Under the cloudless sky with bells of blessing

I wonder if I will end up showing my anxious face underneath

As I watch your figure that has never changed from the past

Breathing a sigh of relief leaves me about to cry

心をずっと騙していた情けなくて弱い私を

死ぬまでどうか許さないでいて

あなたの声が聞こえた気がした“迷子にならないで”

Kokoro wo zutto damashiteita nasakenakute yowai watashi wo

Shinu made dou ka yurusanai de ite

Anata no koe ga kikoeta ki ga shita "Maigo ni naranai de"

The pathetic, weak me who has always been deceiving my own heart

Please, somehow remain unforgiving of me until I die

I had a feeling I heard your voice, "Please don't get lost"

おめでとう　なんて言葉

言わないで　そんな言葉

このまま奪い去ってくれたら

そんな夢みたいなこと　あるわけないのに

Omedetou nante kotoba

Iwanaide sonna kotoba

Kono mama ubaisatte kuretara

Sonna yume mitai na koto aru wake nai noni

Words like "Congratulations"

Please don't say it, those sort of words

If only you'd carry me off like this

But that sort of dream can't possibly happen

あなたが笑うだけで　あなたと笑うだけで

他には何もいらなかった

一人で待ち続けて今すぐに会いたくて

誰といても越えられないんだよ

あなたのこと忘れてもいいですか？

今でも迷子のままで鏡の音が鳴り響いた

Anata ga warau dake de, anata to warau dake de

Hokani wa nani mo iranakatta

Hitori de machitsudukete ima sugu ni aitakute

Dare to itemo koerarenain dayo

Anata no koto wasuretemo ii desu ka?

Ima demo maigo no mama de kane no ne ga narihibiita

So long as you laugh, so long as I could laugh with you

I didn't need anything else besides that

Continuing to wait by myself, I want to meet you right now

I couldn't overcome it even with someone else, you know

Would it be alright if I forgot about you?

"Even now, you are still lost", the sound of bells echoed
