Joushou Kiryuu (上昇気流)

[nebulancer]

 

Sora // Kouki

English translation:

At the moment I tripped, I let go of a balloon that faded further away

It wasn’t that precious to me, so I watched it leave with a curious gaze

Getting into some new things, I lost track of time on my way home

As if it was lost, the balloon was rolling around on the asphalt

Because our natures and appearances were different,

I knew yours weren't mine, but still,

The traces of your departure

For some reason, made my chest tighten up

Hey, what is this?

I want to know what it is too

You're blurring out, fading away until I can't see you anymore

Even though I should stop asking for things I don’t have,

I just want to see you

With the sounds of feet kicking the staircase, I was brought to a wonderland that welcomed the end

As I was still spaced out, half asleep, the empty bag danced in the wind around a building

Yep, I would update my dreams for the future, time and time again

Instead of something I admired, what suited me more was the oasis in front of my eyes

Now that everyone's become an adult,

We can't have competitions with each other anymore

Even as the bell rang in the upper reaches of the sky,

I looked for the direction the wind was headed

Just kidding! I was joking

I guess it's because of my pollen allergy

Maybe I should dump some water on my head?

In the corner of my notes, you always come to my mind

I want to forget you

Before I knew it, you were at my side

As we waited for the same future

And I'd only realized I had lost sight of you,

When it was way later

Hey, what is this?

I want to know what it is too

My tears are spilling over, and I can't stop them

Even when I was the only one left that day, and even today,

I just want to see you

Just kidding! I was joking

I guess it's because of my cold medicine

Opening the window, I closed my eyes

It must've been carried away by the updraft...

The boat that you rode on... Ah...

It's climbing through the sky

Kanji:

転んだ拍子に手放して

遠ざかってゆく風船は

大切なんて程じゃなくて

好奇の目線で見送った

新しいものに食いついて

時間を忘れた帰り道

迷い子みたいな風船が

アスファルトに転がっていた

柄も色も違うから

僕のじゃないと分かってても

巣立っていった面影に

なぜか胸が少しざわついたんだ

ねえ これって何だろう？

僕も知りたい

ばやけて見えなくなってゆく

ないものねだりを やめればいいのに

君に会いたいから

階段を蹴った足音で

終わりを迎えたワンダーランド

寝ぼけたまんまの通い道

ビル風に踊る空き袋

そう叶えたい将来の夢は

何度も更新されていった

憧れより日の前のこと

自分にぴったりのオアシス

みんな大人になったから

今や取り合っちゃくれない

ベルが鳴ってもうわ の空

風のゆくえ僕は探したんだ

なんてね ウソだよ

花粉のせいだろう

頭に水でも被ろうかな

ノートの端っこに いつも浮かんでる

君を忘れたいよ

知らないうちに そばにいて

同じ明日を待っていた

見失ったと 気づいたのは

ずっと後だった

ねえこれって何だろう？

僕も知りたい

涙あふれて止まらないよ

あの日の僕が居残る今日も

君に会いたいから

なんてね ウソだよ

かぜ薬のせいだろう

窓を開いて 瞳閉じた

上昇気流に運ばれたんだなあ

君をのせた船は ah

空を昂ってゆく
