星の雫 (Hoshi no shizuku) – Drops of stars

from PERFECT ALBUMS+1 -20th Anniversary- album.

——

Far apart, I prepare for the sixth winter
In the city you left
The gap somewhere in my heart remains open
Just surviving amidst the seasons

Walking on so as not to be defeated by the city’s flow
You were just tired

Just be who you are right now
Nobody will criticize you anymore
Stop reaching out, and let’s talk
I’ll always be by your side

Just show me your heart, without lies or force
Nobody is that strong
Noone in the world can survive alone
That’s right, I was saved by you too

That faraway summer day, that place you loitered at
All surrounded gently by the wind

Just be who you are right now
Nobody will criticize you anymore
Stop searching for what’s lacking now
Just return to the beginning
Let’s look up at the starry sky and talk
I’ll always be by your side

Tooku hanarete rokudome no fuyu jitaku hajimaru
Kimi sarishi machi
Kokoro dokoka ni sukima ga aita mama
Kisetsu no naka tada ikiteta

Tokai no nagare ni makenai you ni aruite
Kimi wa tsukareteiru dake

Ima ari no mama no kimi de ireba ii yo
Mou daremo kimi wo seme ya shinai
Senobi wo suru no wa yamete hanashi wo shiyou
Zutto soba ni iru kara

Uso mo muri mo nai kokoro wo misereba ii
Daredatte tsuyokunai
Hitori de iki rareru hito wa doko ni mo inai
Sou sa boku mo kimi ni sukuwareta

Tooi natsu no hi kimi ga tatazundeita basho mo
Kaze ga yasashiku tsutsumu

Ima ari no mama no kimi de ireba ii yo
Mou daremo kimi wo seme ya shinai
Ima tarinai mono wo sagasu no wa yamete
Tada hajime ni kaereba ii sa
Futari hoshizora mi age hanashi wo shiyou
Zutto soba ni iru kara

KANJI

遠く離れて６度目の冬支度始まる
君去りし街
心どこかに隙間が空いたまま
季節の中ただ生きてた

都会の流れに負けないように歩いて
君は疲れているだけ

今ありのままの君でいればいいよ
もう誰も君を責めやしない
背伸びをするのはやめて　話をしよう
ずっと傍にいるから

嘘も無理もない心を見せればいい
誰だって強くない
独りで生きられる人はどこにもいない
そうさ僕も君に救われた

遠い夏の日　君が佇んでいた場所も
風が優しく包む

今ありのままの君でいればいいよ
もう誰も君を責めやしない
今足りないものを探すのはやめて
ただ始めに帰ればいいさ
ふたり星空見上げ　話をしよう
ずっと傍にいるから
