ROMAJI / ENGLISH TRANSLATION:

“Kodou ga yamu made soba ni iru” nante
Tagaeru yakusoku wa sezu tada anata to itai

Words like “I’ll be by your side until your heartbeat stops”
Without making unfulfillable promises, I just want to be with you

“Tsukamenai mono hodo hoshiku naru” to iu nara
Atashi wa anata no mono ni narenakutemo ii no

If it’s said “The more ungraspable something is, the more you want it”
Then it’s fine if I don’t become yours

Anata to somaru kisetsu shizundeiku
Atashi wa tokaku binetsu ni aeideita
Kikinareta koe te no hira doko ni mo inai
Musunda yubi no saki hodoketa

I continue sinking in the seasons dyed with you
I become transparent, gasping from this fever
The voice I’m used to hearing, the palm of your hand, it’s nowhere to be found
Our intertwined fingers have come apart

Toki ga tatsu koto mo oshiku naru you de
Unmei nante bakarashii koto sura shinjitaku naru

As even the passing time starts to feel like a regret
I want to believe that fate is nothing more than an absurdity

Daidai no yuuhi ni sekai ga oboreteiku
Anata to futarikata wo narabete mitoreteita

The world drowns under the mandarin-colored sunset
Lining my back with yours, we watched in fascination

Sukoshi senobi wo shita mama otona ni naru atashi

The me who becomes an adult while still standing on her tiptoes

Anata ga someru kage wa kieteiku
Aishita machi mo hito mo inaku naru
Tatta futari kiri sekai ni ochiteiku
Sonna ki ga shiteita

The shadow you dye in colors is disappearing
Even in the once-loved streets, people no longer exist
Just the two of us, continuing to fall in the world
At least that’s how it felt like

Tsuyogari mo wagamama mo terekakushi no kotoba mo
Dakishimeta karada sae kono te wo surinukeru no
Kuitatte osoi mou anata wa inai
Inai inai iya

Your bluffs, your whims, and your words hiding embarrassment
Even your body which I once held, are slipping out of these hands
It’s too late to regret, you are no longer here
Not here, not here, I don’t want this

Anata to somaru kisetsu shizundeiku
Atashi wa tokaku binetsu ni aeideita
Kikinareta koe, te no hira ima wa doko de

I continue sinking in the seasons dyed with you
I become transparent, gasping from this fever
The voice I’m used to hearing, the palm of your hand, where are they now

Sayonara aishita

Goodbye, my loved one

Anata ni somari kanashi koi kogare
Atashi wa onaji iro wo kasaneteiku
Tatta hitorikiri tadotta iroasenai
Anata no yubi no saki hodoketa

Dyed by you, yearning for your affection
I paint the same color over and over again
All on my own, what I’ve reached is a fading shade
The tips of your fingers have come apart

Thank you for reading!

Even though this isn’t part of my long request list, I couldn’t control my urge to translate it because of its emotional depth. While the lyrics themselves are rather direct, they still convey a heavy longing and the mental image of colors leaking out of a still portrait, leaving only black & white behind. It’s one of my favorite songs in Reol’s album so I hope everyone can appreciate it too (*^^*)
