粉雪 (Konayuki) – Powder snow

from Remio Best album.

——

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

ROOMAJI

Konayuki mau kisetsu wa itsumo sure chigai
Hitogomi ni magiretemo onaji sora miteru no ni
Kaze ni fukarete nita you ni kogoeru no ni

Boku wa kimi no subete nado shitte wa inai darou
Soredemo ichioku nin kara kimi wo mitsuketa yo
Konkyo wa nai kedo honki de omotterunda

Sasaina ii ai mo nakute onaji jikan wo ikite nado ikenai
Sunao ni narenai nara yorokobi mo kanashimi mo munashii dake

Konayuki nee kokoro made shiroku somerareta nara
Futari no kodoku wo wake au koto ga dekita no kai

Boku wa kimi no kokoro ni mimi wo oshi atete
Sono koe no suru hou he sutto fukaku made
Orite yukitai soko de mou ichido aou

Wakari aitai nante uwabe wo nadete ita no wa boku no hou
Kimi no kajikanda te mo nigiri shimeru koto dake de tsunagatteta no ni

Konayuki nee eien wo mae ni amari ni moroku
Zaratsuku asufaruto no ue shimi ni natte yuku yo

Konayuki nee toki ni tayori naku kokoro wa yureru
Soredemo boku wa kimi no koto mamori tsuzuketai

Konayuki nee kokoro made shiroku somerareta nara
Futari no kodoku wo tsutsunde sora ni kaesu kara

KANJI

粉雪舞う季節はいつもすれ違い
人混みに紛れても同じ空見てるのに
風に吹かれて 似たように凍えるのに

僕は君の全てなど知ってはいないだろう
それでも一億人から君を見つけたよ
根拠はないけど本気で思ってるんだ

些細な言い合いもなくて同じ時間を生きてなどいけない
素直になれないなら 喜びも悲しみも虚しいだけ

粉雪 ねえ 心まで白く染められたなら
二人の孤独を分け合う事が出来たのかい

僕は君の心に耳を押し当てて
その声のする方へすっと深くまで
下りてゆきたい そこでもう一度会おう

分かり合いたいなんて 上辺を撫でていたのは僕の方
君のかじかんだ手も 握りしめることだけで繋がってたのに

粉雪 ねえ 永遠を前にあまりに脆く
ざらつくアスファルトの上シミになってゆくよ

粉雪 ねえ 時に頼りなく心は揺れる
それでも僕は君のこと守り続けたい

粉雪 ねえ 心まで白く染められたなら
二人の孤独を包んで空にかえすから
