Lumina (ルミナ)

[nebulancer]

English translation:

Once I secretly make my way out of the usual shortcut

There's the murmuring of the small stream, the morning's voice

I slowly make my way down

With the brakes still on

As I peer at the place where cats gather

Sometimes, I dive directly

Beneath the clouds, feeling the wind

And I cling onto the dream

That you could be there, somewhere

I won't cry: for now, on this day I won't go back

I'll face the other way and walk

Even if my memories are slightly faded

It is the lumina that continues within me

In a corner of the empty lot where no lights seem to stand,

The home made of thread contains no one inside

An entrance hidden by the overgrown thicket

Is connected to a viewpoint overlooking the space

If I'm here, seeing this area

I'll go see you without hesitating, but

Before the afterglow we felt is buried by the dead leaves...

I won't cry: but voices and aromas

Will block the door of my heart

The journey of the time I spent with you

It is the lumina that continues within me

Each and every second, it chips away

Even if stolen away by the moonlight

The long night will dawn at some point

So let us embrace it and continue living, hah

I won't cry: for now, the crimson clouds are

Reflected in my moistened eyes

My memories are a bit too overwhelming

Even as this short-lived wind blows

I don't want to cry from now: on this day I won't go back

Informing you that we’re parting, I’ll walk

May you shine even brighter today than you did yesterday

Making this wish, I hold up the lumina

Kanji:

こっそり　いつもの近道　抜けたら

川のせせらぎ　朝の声

ゆっくり　下っていく

ブレーキ　かけたまま

猫の居場所を覗いてみた

時折　雲の真下に

潜って　風を感じて

どこかに　君がいたらと

夢追いすがら

泣かないよ今は　帰らぬ日に

そっぽ向いて　歩くから

思い出が少し　色あせても

僕の中で続く　ルミナ

電灯もないような　空き地の隅っこで

糸の宿には　誰も居ない

伸びた茂みに　隠れた入口

見晴台へと　繋がっている

ここから　見える領域なら

迷わず　会いに行くのに

二人の余韻が　枯れ葉に埋もれる前に

泣かないよ　だけど　胸のドアを

声が匂いが　塞ぐから

君がいた時間を　巡る旅は

僕の中で続く　ルミナ

一秒ごとに　欠けてゆく

月明かりに　拐われても

いつかは明ける　長い夜を

抱きしめて　生きてゆこう　hah

泣かないよ　今は潤んだ瞳に

茜雲を　浮かべている

思い出が少し大きすぎて

儚い　風が吹いても

泣かないでいたいよ　帰らぬ日に

別れ告げて　歩くから

昨日より今日が　輝くように

願いをかけて　かざす　ルミナ
