Houseki (宝石) – Jewel

from One album.

—–

Distance that outruns time
I ran that distance in my dream
Pain the colour of tears
Dress up, and pretend

Even on days of fragile gentleness
I’ll colour myself too, so
I want to encase it as it is
This nameless jewel

Being loved, even exchanging love
If this glittering world
Can shine like the rainbow
Then it can stay wet

Flexible, transparent hope
Cannot be destroyed by anyone
In that full one second as the rain pours
I want to be with you

Leading, repeating stories
Every single one is radiant, but
Just like a wish from the distant past
They appear so beautiful

Reaching out and touching, but
The light slips away
And continues to shine on the road called today
Which will never come again

Becoming ash, and with yearning
Feelings are polished
If I can, until I burn out
I wish to be me

Jikan wo oikosu kyori
Muchuu de hashitte kita
Namida iro no itami sae
Kikazaru furi shite

Yasashisa moroi hibi mo
Jibun wo irodoru kara
Arinomama ni chiribametai
Na mo nai houseki

Aisarete aishiau hodo
Kirameku kono sekai
Niji no you ni kagayakeru nara
Nureta mama de ii

Shinayaka ni sukitooru kibou
Dare ni mo kowasenai
Furisosogu subete no ichibyou
Anata to itai

Yubiori kasaneta sutoorii
Dore mo ga mabushii kedo
Haruka tooi negai hodo
Kirei ni mieru ne

Te wo nobashi fureta to shitemo
Hikari wa surinukeru
Nidoto nai kyou to iu michi wo
Terashi tsuzukete

Hai ni natte kogareru koto de
Omoi wa migakareru
Kanau nara moetsukiru made
Watashi de itai

KANJI

時間を追い越す距離
夢中で走ってきた
ナミダ色の痛みさえ
着飾るフリして

優しさもろい日々も
自分を彩るから
ありのままにちりばめたい
名もない宝石

愛されて 愛し合うほど
きらめくこの世界
虹のように輝けるなら
濡れたままでいい

しなやかに 透き通る希望
誰にも壊せない
降りそそぐ すべての一秒
あなたといたい

指折りかさねたストーリー
どれもがまぶしいけど
遥か遠い願いほど
キレイに見えるね

手を伸ばし 触れたとしても
光はすり抜ける
二度とない 今日という道を
照らし続けて

灰になって 焦がれるコトで
想いは磨かれる
かなうなら 燃え尽きるまで
私でいたい
