YOASOBI 『ハルジオン 』 Halzion Lyrics

「ハルジオン」 /harujion/: Philadelphia fleabane

過ぎてゆく時間の中あなたを思い出す

sugite yuku toki no naka anata wo omoidasu (In the passage of time, I think of you)

物憂げに眺める画面に映った二人笑っていた

monouge ni nagameru gamen ni utsutta futari waratte ita (The two of us who are reflected on the screen, looking wearily, were laughing)

知りたくないほど知りすぎてくこと

shiritakunai hodo shiri sugite ku koto (The more I don’t want to know, the more I do)

ただ過ぎる日々に呑み込まれたの

tada sugiru hibi ni nomikomareta no (Was this just being swallowed by the days that had passed?)

それでもただもう一度だけ会いたくて

soredemo tada mōichido dake aitakute (Nevertheless, I still want to meet you one more time)

あなたの言葉に頷き信じた私を一人置き去りに時間は過ぎる

anata no kotoba ni unazuki shinjita watashi wo hitori okizari ni toki wa sugiru (The time in which I, who believed your words with a nod, was left alone, has passes)

見えていたはずの未来も指の隙間をすり抜けた

miete ita hazu no mirai mo yubi no sukima wo surinuketa (The future that I should have seen also slipped through the spaces between my fingers)

戻れない日々の欠片とあなたの気配を今でも探してしまうよ

modorenai hibi no kakera to anata no kehai wo ima demo sagashite shimau yo (Even now, I would end up searching for the fragments of the days to which I cannot go back and the signs of you)

まだあの日の二人に手を伸ばしてる

mada ano hi no futari ni te o nobashiteru (I’m still stretching my hands to the two of us of that day)

境界線は自分で引いた

kyōkaisen wa jibun de hiita (The boundary that I drew myself)

「現実は」って見ないフリをしていた

“genjitsu wa”tte minai furi wo shite ita (I was pretending that I didn’t see what “the reality is”)

そんな私じゃ見えない見えない

sonna watashi ja mienai mienai (That me cannot see it, cannot see it)

境界線の向こうに咲いた鮮烈な花達も本当は見えてたのに

kyōkaisen no mukō ni saita senretsuna hanatachi mo hontō wa mieteta no ni (Although the truth is that I could see the flowers that bloomed vividly on the other side of the boundary)

知らず知らずの内に擦り減らした心の扉に鍵をかけたの

shirazu shirazu no uchi ni suriherashita kokoro no tobira ni kagi wo kaketa no (On the inside of “I don’t know, I don’t know”, is the worn out door of the heart locked?)

そこにはただ美しさの無い私だけが残されていた

soko ni wa tada utsukushisa no nai watashi dake ga nokosarete ita (Only me, who was being left there with no beauty)

青過ぎる空に目の奥が染みた

ao sugiru sora ni me no oku ga shimita (The overly blue sky permeated into the depths of my eyes)

あの日の景色に取りに帰るの あなたが好きだと言ってくれた私を

ano hi no keshiki ni tori ni kaeru no anata ga sukida to itte kureta watashi wo (Are you going back to the scenery of that day to take me, the one who you said you liked?)

誰にも見せずにこの手で隠した想いが今も私の中で生きている

darenimo misezu ni kono te de kakushita omoi ga ima mo watashi no naka de ikite iru (The feelings that I hid with my hands, not showing to anyone, are still living within me now)

目を閉じてみれば今も鮮やかに蘇る景色と戻れない日々の欠片が映し出したのは蕾のまま閉じ込めた未来 

me wo tojite mireba ima mo azayaka ni yomigaeru keshiki to modorenai hibi no kakera ga utsushidashita no wa tsubomi no mama tojikometa mirai

(If I try closing my eyes, the vividly revived scenery and the fragments of the days to which I cannot go back that projected even now, is the future that was trapped while it was still a bud)

もう一度描き出す

mōichido egakidasu (I will start drawing again)

あの日のあなたの言葉と美しい時間と二人で過ごしたあの景色が忘れてた想いと失くしたはずの未来を繋いでいく

ano hi no anata no kotoba to utsukushī toki to futari de sugoshita ano keshiki ga wasureteta omoi to nakushita hazu no mirai o tsunaide iku

(Your words of that day, the beautiful time and the scenery in which the two of us spent are the forgotten feelings connecting with the future that should have been lost)

戻れない日々の続きを歩いていくんだ

modorenai hibi no tsudzuki wo aruite ikunda (We will continue to walk on the days to which we cannot go back)

これからも、あなたがいなくても 

korekara mo, anata ga inakute mo (From now on too, even when you are not here)

あの日の二人に手を振れば確かに動き出した未来へ

ano hi no futari ni te wo fureba tashika ni ugokidashita mirai he (if I swing my hand to that day of the two of us, I will probably head towards the future that started to move)
