LAPIS BLUE

[nebulancer]

 

Sora // Morihito // Soushi // Ren // Nozomu

English Translation:

“How boring”, we say,

As we draw monochrome crosses on our calendars (draw crosses)

We’re always laying in our futons during the weekend

There’s a group gathering on the veranda as they rest their wings (a group)

As we look at them through the lens, they coolly fly away

Even now, we sometimes decide on wandering around

To get to that high ground that we’d been searching for and then found

Now, we don’t have to stretch ourselves anymore, because we’ll reach the roof

Where we gaze upon the lapis blue as far as we can see

Time and time again, we’d shaken free of the atmosphere

Opened up our wings and taken off

It wouldn’t come true, but we still headed toward that sky

The vapor trail we traced with our finger

Flickers, even though it was so far away

Even when we become adults, we still want to fly again

Sometimes, we want to try reaching out our wings

Leaving our nest to visit the city (want to try)

But we get stolen away by the cloudy weather and crowds of people

Periods of time where we’re walking while looking down

Have been getting even more and more (even more)

We wouldn’t trip if it were just a bit of a difference in change

The hairstyles and clothes in fashion don’t do anything

All we did was focus on perfecting creating paper airplanes

Hey, do you think it’ll reach you if we launch it right now?

The lapis blue that will connect the whole world

Taking in the light of summer

We ran and climbed that spiral staircase

Becoming birds as we reached out both our hands

Trespassing even when we were warned not to

We spread out our backpacks and laid down

We flew because we couldn’t become adults

As we lined up on the rooftop, the city we gazed out at

And the criss-crossing stations all looked so tiny

It’s fine to forget the games we played and tried to perfect

As long as there are wings in our hearts…

No matter what I don’t understand

These foolish feelings jump out

Laughing at us, going, “You failed, didn’t you?”

Even if the times we get to meet fade away

The color of the sky will still come back

Let’s gather in the heights once more, come on…

Time and time again, we’d shaken free of the atmosphere

Opened up our wings and taken off

It wouldn’t come true, but we still headed toward that sky

The vapor trail we traced with our finger

Flickers, even though it was so far away

Even when we become adults, we’re still unchanging

Spreading out both our hands, we want to fly again

We want to fly again...

Kanji:

つまんないね カレンダーに

モノクロの斜線引いて(斜線引いて)

週末の日中はいつも布団の中で

ベランダに群がって羽を休める連中(連中)

レンズ向けるとクールに飛び去ってく

今でも時々 寄り道キメるよ

僕らが探して見つけた 高台へ

もう背伸びしなくても 届くよ 屋根へと

見渡す限りのLapis Blue

何度も大気をふりきって

羽を開いて離陸して

叶わないけどあの空へ

あんなに遠くでひらめく

指で引いた飛行機雲

大人になってもまた飛びたいや

たまには羽のばして

都会に巣立ってみるけど (みるけど)

曇天と人波に捕らわれて

下向いて歩く間隔

だんだん多くなっちゃって(なっちゃって)

ちょっとぐらいの段差なら躓かないけど

流行りの髪型やオシャレもしないで

僕らがマジメに究めた紙飛行機

ねえ ここから放てば届くかな君へと

世界を結ぶ Lapis Blue

夏の光を受け止め

走って昇った螺旋階段

両手伸ばして鳥になって

注意されても立ち入って

リュックを敷いて寝そべった

大人になれないから飛べたんだ

屋上に並んで眺めた街は

通った駅もちっぽけに見えた

究めた遊び 忘れてもいい

心に羽があるなら...

どんな分かんないことも

バカな気持ちで飛び込んで

台無しだって笑ってくれた

会える時間なくなっても

空の色は巡ってくる

また高みに集まって さあ...

何度も大気をふりきって

羽を開いて離陸して

叶わないけどあの空へ

あんなに遠くでひらめく

指で引いた飛行機雲

大人になっても 僕らは変わらず

両手を広げて また飛びたいや

また飛びたいや...
