粉雪 (Konayuki) – Powder snow
——
In the season when powder snow flutters, I always
Slip into the passing crowd, looking at the same sky
Being frozen, as if buffeted by the wind
I don’t know everything about you
Even so, I found you, out of a hundred million others
It’s a baseless assumption, but I really think so
Without even trivial disputes, we can’t even live in the same time
Unable to be honest, feelings like joy and sorrow are all fruitless
Powder snow, hey, if it can dye my heart white
Maybe we would be able to share our loneliness
I press my ear against your heart
Wishing to sink even deeper
Towards your voice, to meet you there once again
I wanted to share with you, to caress you
Holding onto your frozen hand, we were connected, but
Powder snow, hey, forever is becoming a stain
On the brittle rough asphalt road
Powder snow, hey, my unreliable heart sways sometimes
But I want to continue protecting you
Powder snow, hey, if it can dye my heart white
I will embrace our loneliness and return to the sky
