空のカーテン (Sora no kaaten) – Sky’s curtain

from Bokura no century single.

——

Pour yesterday’s failures into a cup of tea and drink it down
Turn off the TV showing the morning news, open the door, come, let’s walk out

In front of the classroom, the same girl’s voice saying “good morning” with the same expression
Never change, even after countless thousands of years, it’s a promise
Wishing for these days to last forever

The sky’s curtain connects countless winters together
After clear skies, a sigh, white and climbing high
The earth spins round and round
Don’t worry, progress, you are who you are

Through our mobile phones
Making sure of tomorrow
Let anxiety be buried under the snow
“Dream, be realistic” Which one is right, teacher?
I want to believe, hey

The dawn moon gives a thin smile
Without knowing the meaning of goodbye
The sound of my heart aligns with the clock
Moving my pointers, tick-tock tick-tock, again today

The sky’s curtain connects various presents together
After clear skies, tears, changing into signals
The earth spins round and round
I’m not lonely, we’re all in this winter together

Memories raging with swooshing sounds
The cracks in your heart hurt sometimes, right?
It’s ok to cry, but don’t run away
What you can see is the morning sun, the future

Ding-dong-dang ding-dong-dang, let my voice soar
Ding-dong-dang ding-dong-dang
Before I become an adult, I want to laugh more
I want to feel excitement, want to make my dreams come true

The words spoken at the library aren’t enough to tell of real pain
Nor of beginnings and ends, though spring comes every year without fail
Which path at the crossroads will lead to my goal?
It’s alright, we’ll stop and go, we can always turn back and start over again

The sky’s curtain connects countless winters together
After clear skies, a sigh, white and climbing high
The earth spins round and round
Don’t worry, progress, you are who you are

Memories raging with swooshing sounds
The cracks in your heart hurt sometimes, right?
It’s ok to cry, but don’t run away
What you can see is the morning sun, the future
Run, run
With the baton, I’m right here now

Ding-dong-dang ding-dong
My heartbeat, ding-dong-dang
Winter has come

昨日の失敗は　お茶の中に入れて飲んでしまおう
朝のニュース消して　扉開けた　さあ　歩き出そう

「おはよ」教室前　あの子の声いつもの顔
何千年経っても変わらないで　約束だよ
こんな日々が　ずっと　続くように

いくつもの冬を繋ぐ　空のカーテン
晴れのちため息　白く上(のぼ)っていく
回り回るよ地球は
心配ないさ　進め　君は君だ

携帯を　いじっては
確かめ合う　明日を
不安は雪に埋めてしまえ
「夢を見ろ　現実見ろ」どっちなの先生?
信じてほしいよ　ねえ

有明の月が　細く笑ってた
さよならの意味なんて　知らずに
心臓の音が　時計と並んで
私の針を動かす　チクタクチクタク　今日も

それぞれの今を繋ぐ　空のカーテン
晴れのち涙　シグナル変えながら
回り回るよ地球は
寂しくないさ　みんな冬の中

思い出ぴゅるりら　吹き荒れて
心の隙間　ときに痛むのだろう
泣いてもいいんだよ　逃げるな
そこから見える　朝日が未来だ

リンドンダン　リンドンダン　私の声　飛ばせ
リンドンダン　リンドンダン
大人になる前にもっと笑いたい
ワクワクしていたい　夢を叶えたい

図書室に並んだ言葉だけじゃ　本当の痛さはわからない
始まりと終わりをいつ知るだろう　毎年春は迷わず来てくれるのに
交差点で　どっちに行けばゴールなんだろ
大丈夫さ　行き止まり　そんときゃ　引き返してまた始めればいい

いくつもの冬を繋ぐ　空のカーテン
晴れのちため息　白く上(のぼ)っていく
回り回るよ地球は
心配ないさ　進め　君は君

思い出ぴゅるりら　吹き荒れて
心の隙間　ときに痛むのだろう
泣いてもいいんだよ　逃げるな
そこから見える朝日が未来だ
走り走るよ
バトン握って　私は今ここだ

リンドンダン　リンドン
鼓動　リンドンダン
冬が来た
