Story of colors

[nebulancer]

English translation:

Loveliness, kindness: the things you gave me

I remember them with the cherry blossoms that scatter away in the blink of an eye

 

In my heart, I draw up unskilled wishes and reasons

No matter how much I want to become stronger, I'll never be like you

 

I want to show you my current self, so that's why I'm still standing here

 

Joys and sorrows: I'll continue living as I hold onto them

I swear that upon the cherry blossoms that scatter away in the blink of an eye

 

I sought to be someone who's a given, and everything it stands for

I always believed I could be that way, but I'm just missing that last step

 

I still don't know the answer - In the midst of my dreams, I'm still struggling

 

Everything's so short-lived and painful: but still, it's fine

I said, trying to convince my tears from that day I shut myself in

 

Even if the path that I head forth on doesn't glow with light

Your voice will always shine on the way for me

 

Loveliness, kindness: the things you gave me

They shine and even now, they're here for certain

 

Joys and sorrows: I'll continue living as I hold onto them

I swear that upon the cherry blossoms that scatter away in the blink of an eye

 

With you by my side

Kanji:

 

愛しさも優しさも君がくれたこと

瞬いて散りゆく桜に思い出すよ

 

拙い願いと理由を 描いている胸の中

もっと強くありたくても 君みたいにはなれないな

今の僕を伝えたくて この場所にまだ立っている

 

喜びも悲しみも抱いて生きてくと

瞬いて散りゆく桜に誓いながら

 

当たり前の存在と その全てを求めてた

ずっと信じていたいのに あと一歩が足りないや

答えなんて知らないまま夢を見て抗っている

 

儚くて苦しくて それでもいいのだと

閉じ込めたあの日の涙に言い聞かせて

 

進む道の前にあるのが 光でないとしても

君の声がいつだって 照らしていてくれるんだ

 

愛しさも優しさも君がくれたこと

輝いて今でも確かにここにあるよ

 

喜びも悲しみも抱いて生きてくと

瞬いて散りゆく桜に誓いながら

 

君とともに
