Genfuukei (弦風景)

[nebulancer]

English Translations:

That rusted bench is gone already

This city and I change at times too

Now, being called by the future, I’m walking towards it

Even though I do get saved by that smile by my side

I end up forgetting the thing I promised not to forget

Little by little, as I’m surely heading for tomorrow

If we met again right now, then let’s talk about something

That promise lies inside of this wind

When I hit back the ball that rolled toward me

The boy lowered his smile

I’d always wanted to be someone brilliant

Wanting to become it, believing in it, I didn’t have any worries either

As my admiration kept changing, I chased after it with nothing else in mind

Though I aimed for it, I realized that it was a reality further away than I thought

There was a hero deep in my heart that resembled me

Even now, surely pushing me on my back

While the sun set, I talked with them

Even as we were about to leave

With friends I got along with

And people who could accept me, I spent my days

Tying together the me of yesterday and me of tomorrow

That sunset was like a knot

I slowly traced it with my finger

I end up forgetting the thing I promised not to forget

Even one more, as I always head toward tomorrow

Under that sky we can’t cut away from, let’s talk about something

That promise lies inside of this wind

Even now, surely pushing me on my back

Kanji:

錆びついたベンチは もう無くなっていて

僕もこの街も ある時期（とき）に変わる

今は 未来に呼ばれ 歩いてる

側にある微笑みに 救われるけど

忘れないと誓った 何かを忘れて

少しずつ明日へ きっと向かってる

もしも今 逢えたなら 何を話そう

あの約束は この風の中

 

転がってきたボール 投げ返したら

少年は笑顔を 深々と下げる

いつも 輝かしい存在に

なりたくて なれそうで 不安も無かった

憧れが変わる度 夢中で追いかけて

目指しても 程遠い現実 知ったけど

胸の奥 自分と似た ヒーローが居て

今も背中 きっと押してる

日が暮れても語った

別れ際に立ち話した

気の置けない仲間や

受け止めてもらえる人と過ごした

昨日の僕と 明日の僕を紡ぐ

結び目のような 夕暮れ

指でなぞる そっと

忘れないと誓った 何かを忘れて

また一つ明日へ ずっと向かっても

切り離せない空に 何を話そう

あの約束は この風の中

今も背中を きっと押してる
