Hitotsunagi no Monogatari (ひとつなぎの物語)

[nebulancer]

English translation:

 

The lives born somewhere in this world

Remained unnoticed in the shadows of the time we head for

 

We can never return to where we should’ve been before,

But I want to keep my hand outstretched, as if waiting for a miracle

 

With our voices, let’s try calling awake

These slumbering memories that wish to be fulfilled

We don’t need to be afraid, ah

 

I’ll be right here

As I have yesterday, today, and from now on

With my finger, I trace the story I’ve always dreamt of to connect all

 

At the edge of the sinking sunset,

I look back upon the sounds I’ve heard

Time and time again, tomorrow as well,

I want to continue drawing a continuation to this

 

I want to say my thanks no matter how far apart we are

To the fact that you held me up in your arms, letting me stay here

 

In the same way smiles and warmth raised me,

I wonder if I, too, can love another with the bonds connecting us

 

If everything reflected in our eyes is a story, then our flowing lives will guide each other

Even if we don’t realize it now, I’ll be able to meet you somewhere upon this path

 

With our songs, let’s combine into one

The seasons revolving around our beginning and end

So that we never forget them, ah

 

I’ll be right here

Beyond our futures, our pasts, and beyond space-time

With my finger, I caress the story I’ve always dreamt of to connect all

 

We gaze at ech other in the moonlight

Holding back our tears, we waved our hands

This is the world you’ve always been in

Tomorrow, as well, brings a continuation to this

 

I’ll be right here, so

The flowers, birds, wind, and moon

I’ll hold them all tight

And protect them to the end

 

See? I’m the happiest I could be

Kanji:

 

この世界のどこかで　生まれた命は

向かう時間（とき）の陰りに気づかずにいた

 

ふたりいたはずの場所

二度と戻れないけど

この手　伸ばしていたい

奇跡を待つように

 

満たされたかった

眠る記憶を

僕らの声で　呼びかけてみよう

怖がらなくていい ah

 

僕はここにいるから

昨日も今日も　これからも

ずっと夢見たストーリー

指でなぞる　ひとつなぎ

 

沈む夕日のほとり

聴こえた音　振り返る

何度だって　描きたい

明日もまた　このつづきを

 

ありがとう伝えたい

遠く離れても

抱き上げてくれて

ここにいられること

 

微笑みと温もりが

僕を育てたように

誰かを愛せるかな

つないだキズナで

 

瞳に映る全てが物語なら

流れる命は互いを導く

今はまだ知らなくても

この道のどこかで貴方に会える

 

はじまりと終わり

巡る季節を

僕らの歌で　ひとつに結ぼう

忘れないように ah

 

僕はここにいるから

未来も過去も　時空を越え

ずっと夢見たストーリー

指で撫ぜる　ひとつなぎ

 

見つめ合う月明かり

涙こらえて　手を振った

貴方がいた世界だよ

明日もまた　このつづきを

 

ここにいるから

花　鳥　風　月

ぜんぶ抱きしめて

衛り抜くよ

 

ほら　僕は幸せだから
