Chiisana Negai (小さな願い)

[nebulancer]

English translation:

Whispering in the city, the cloud of dust carries the wind away

Showing a crystal-clear light to the people walking in the roads

Even after growing old, they've always

Held each other’s hands while walking

I've admired the two, who could be like that

After spending long, long seasons together

Aah, this is such a small wish, but

Hey, I hope you can hear it too

Please laugh by my side forever on

And call me with your gentle voice

Though I can't say this kind of thing right now

For some reason, it feels like

This year's shorter than usual

It's the flow of time that happens

When I'm spacing out and letting things pass

The plans I'd written down

I gradually end up late to doing them

The things I remember every time night comes

Disappear when my dreams pass and it turns to morning

Lalala...

If the fairy tale has a continuation,

Let's search for it together

With our future selves, the two of us

Aah, this is such a small wish, but

Hey, I hope you can hear it too

Whether it's places that haven't changed, or unknown paths

I'd like to walk with you there, side-by-side

Aah, you're such, such a lovely person, but

Hey, God, what am I supposed to do?

Please laugh by my side forever on

And call me with your gentle voice

This kind of thing...

I hope I can say it to you someday

Lalala...

Kanji:

 

街にささめく 砂ぼこり 風を連れて

道行く人に 透き通る 光見せた 

 

年老いても ずっと

手をつなぎ 歩く

そんな二人に 憧れていたんだ

長い季節を過ごした後に

 

ああ こんなに 小さな願いだけど

ねえ 君にも 聞こえていたらいいな

私のとなりで いつも笑ってさ

やさしい声で 呼んでほしいな

こんなの 今は言えないけど

 

なんだか今年は いつもより

短いような

ぼんやりしていたら 乗り過ごす

時の流れ

 

書き留めた予定

やりそびれてゆく

夜が来るたび 思い出せることが

朝になると 夢の向こうに消えた

 

ラララ…

 

おとぎ話のつづきがあるなら

探してみよう

未来の二人で

 

ああ こんなに 小さな願いだけど

ねえ 君にも 聞こえていたらいいな

変わらない場所も 知らない道でも

並んで 歩いて行きたいな

 

ああ こんなに こんなに愛しいのに

ねえ 神様 どうすればいいかな

私の となりで いつも笑ってさ

やさしい声で 呼んでほしいな

 

こんなの いつかは

君にも言えるように

 

ラララ…
