風の螺旋 (Kaze no rasen) – Wind’s spiral
from Kibouteki refrain single.
——
Wind’s spiral
A single frozen dried leaf
Left its branch and fluttered upwards
Choosing freedom
When we were by each other’s side
We sympathized the other
What is kindness?
We were in love, yet we separated
Awkwardly walking down the tree-lined avenue
We were both too young
The train waiting for spring
When it reaches that station
Yes, you will leave this city
With a bag stuffed only with dreams
You will be smiling
Alone, right?
The wind’s answer
The deciduous tree’s fate is to shed
There’s no reason to notice what you’d forgotten
Goodbye
I’m left at this place
Let’s meet here again someday
A reunion under the blue sky
That’s my tiny wish
“I’m going to design school”
You said as you showed me the phamplet
With shining eyes
I couldn’t stop you from leaving
Rather than preserve my lonely self’s ego
I encouraged you to go
This heavy coat
When I take it off
You will be long gone
Spreading the map you believed in
You’ve found
A different path
It’s the wind’s fault
Not knowing if it’s right or wrong
Follow your path, and I’ll
Follow mine
Even the branch
Won’t cling on forever
It let go because of love
That’s Nature’s freedom
If you keep silent, even I
Will start to sway
Don’t hesitate
Stay determined
The wind’s answer
The deciduous tree’s fate is to shed
There’s no reason to notice what you’d forgotten
Goodbye
I’m left at this place
Let’s meet here again someday
A reunion under the blue sky
That’s my tiny wish

Kaze no rasen
Samusou na ichimai no kareha ga
Eda wo hanare hirari mai agari

KANJI
風の螺旋(らせん)
寒そうな一枚の枯れ葉が
枝を離れ ひらり舞い上がり
選んだ自由
僕たちはそばにいながら
お互いを思いやってた
やさしさって何？
好きなのにわざと離れて
ぎこちなく歩いた並木道
若すぎる二人だった
春を待つ電車が
あの駅に着く頃は
そう君は街を出る
鞄に夢だけを詰めながら
微笑むだろう
一人で
風の答え
落葉樹 散って行く運命
忘れものに気づくはずもなく
さよなら
僕は残る
いつの日かここで会おう
青い空の下 再会
それが小さな願い
デザインのスクール行くと
パンフレット見せてくれたね
輝いた瞳
引き止めるなんてできない
寂しがる自分のエゴよりも
君のため勧めたんだ
重かったコートを
脱ぎ捨てる頃には
もう君はいなくなる
信じた地図だけをただ広げ
違う道を
見つけた
風のせいさ
正解か 過ちかわからず
君は君の 僕は僕の道
進もう
枝にずっと
しがみつくくらいならば
愛のために手を離そう
それが自然なチャンス
そんなに黙ってたら僕だって
揺らいでしまうよ
迷わないで
決心
風の答え
落葉樹 散って行く運命
忘れものに気づくはずもなく
さよなら
僕は残る
いつの日かここで会おう
青い空の下 再会
それが小さな願い
