Ano Hibi ga Aru Kara (あの日々があるから)

[nebulancer]

English translation:

 

Kept you waiting for way too long! How’ve you been doing?

Once we start seeing the first star in the sky,

Check it out! The cityscape dyed red

Starts ringing out with a peaceful sound

 

My twin soul, with assignments and classes

My mother, with infinite love for the family

My prided father, who leads us all

Because everyone continues to preciously stay by my side, every day

 

Our past selves dashed through the pouring rain

But because those days are with us, the present sparkles even more

There’s even meaning behind the pain that no one else understands

The foundation I stood on suddenly shone from the light of my unexpected bonds

Rain won’t last on the path I’m supposed to go down

Since your understanding self will be there once I’ve gotten over it

There was that moment the dawn sky purified it all

A morning will come when we can chat about how a time like that happened

 

A crisis of a world’s finally settled itself

When a concert comes up, let’s sing together again

When we sing together, like “Lalala Lalalala”

The depths of my heart feel all warm inside

 

The red penlights dancing about

Are a symphony of overlapping lives

The photos that sear into the depths of your eyes

Are the beautiful miracles you gave me, in the form of a gift

 

Our past selves dashed through the pouring rain

But because those days are with us, the present sparkles even more

There’s even meaning behind the pain that no one else understands

The foundation I stood on suddenly shone from the light of my unexpected bonds

Rain won’t last on the path I’m supposed to go down

Since your understanding self will be there once I’ve gotten over it

There was that moment the dawn sky purified it all

A morning will come when we can chat about how a time like that happened

 

Who knew that even now, I’d still be able to sing today?

Looks like that’s the proof that you supported me all this way!

Hey, thanks. I mean it.

 

Our past selves dashed through the pouring rain

But because those days are with us, the present sparkles even more

There’s even meaning behind the pain that no one else understands

The foundation I stood on suddenly shone from the light of my unexpected bonds

Rain won’t last on the path I’m supposed to go down

Since your understanding self will be there once I’ve gotten over it

There was that moment the dawn sky purified it all

A morning will come when we can chat about how a time like that happened

Kanji:

 

待たせ過ぎたな　元気にしてたか

一番星が　空に見え出したら

紅く染まった街並みに

ほら　平和の音が鳴り響き始めた

 

課題に授業の　ツインソウルも

家族への愛が　無限な母も

僕らを導く　自慢の父も

みんな毎日大事に　隣にいるから

 

昔の僕ら　は大雨を駆けてたんだ

でもあの日々があるから　今がもっときらめく時さ

誰も分からない痛さも　意味があるんだ

思いがけない絆から　足場が急に光を持った

通るべき道なら　雨は続かないさ

乗り越えた先には　粋な君がいるから

朝焼けの空が　浄化する瞬間があった

そんな時があったと　話せる朝が来るのさ

 

ピンチな世界が　やっと解決した

ライブが来たら　また一緒に歌おうか

「ラララララララ」　声を出したら

心の奥が　温かくなるのさ

 

踊り出す　赤のペンライトは

命が重なった　シンフォニーだ

目の奥に　焦がす写真は

君がくれた綺麗な奇跡が　魅せてたギフトだ

 

昔の僕ら　は大雨を駆けてたんだ

でもあの日々があるから　今がもっときらめく時さ

誰も分からない痛さも　意味があるんだ

思いがけない絆から　足場が急に光を持った

通るべき道なら　雨は続かないさ

乗り越えた先には　粋な君がいるから

朝焼けの空が　浄化する瞬間があった

そんな時があったと　話せる朝が来るのさ

 

あの頃から　今日も歌が続けていられるなんてな

それは　君が推してくれた証だね

ほんとありがとな。
