茜 (AKANE) – Scarlet


from AKANE / Awa awa single.

——

What I want to say to you is ‘thank you’
Now, I think I can finally say it
But I just smiled and embraced you without a word
The light which surrounds everything
Let’s walk on again
Just like that day

Two shadows stretching towards the scarlet sky
I gently let go of our clasped hands

The taller I grew
The less we had to talk about
Each day we passed each other by
Neither in your face, growing more wrinkled
Nor in your gaze
Could I notice anything

Reaching to that day’s memories, I remember
You were an unchanging, gentle light
No matter what happened, you always protected me
The light which surrounds everything
Let’s walk on again
Just like that day

Your kindness became a burden
But it was embarrassing, so I didn’t say it
Awkwardly, I rewind the time that had passed
Before I knew it, I became an adult
All the while averting my eyes
Now, I gather the pieces hidden in my heart
Let’s watch it together again, the scarlet sky

The path we walked on with matching paces
The setting sun reminded me of the warmth of your hand

What I want to say to you is ‘thank you’
Now, I think I can finally say it
But I just smiled and embraced you without a word
The light which surrounds everything
Let’s walk on again
Just like that day

Tsutaetai koto anata ni arigatou
Ima nara chanto ieru ki ga shita
Nanimo iwazu hohoemi dakishimeta
Subete wo tsutsumi konde kureru hikari
Mata arukou
Ano hi no you ni

Futatsu no kage ga akane sora ni nobite
Nigiri shimeteta sono te wo sotto hanashita

Se ga nobiru ni tsurete
Kaiwa mo naku natte
Sure chigai no mainichi ni
Shiwa ga fueta kao ni mo
Anata no manazashi ni mo
Kizuku koto dekinakatta

Ano hi no kioku tadotte omoi dasu
Anata wa kawarazu yasashii hikari
Nani ga attemo kanarazu mamotte kureta
Subete wo tsutsumi konde kureru hikari
Mata arukou
Ano hi no you ni

Yasashisa wo kemutagatta
Terekusakute ienakatta
Bukiyou na mama sugi satta jikan wo maki modosu yo
Itsushika otona ni natta
Zutto me wo sorashite kita
Kokoro no naka ni kakushiteta piisu wo ima awasu yo
Mou ichido futari de miyou akane sora

Hohaba awasete aruite kureta michi
Shizumu yuuhi ni te no nukumori omoi dashita

Tsutaetai koto anata ni arigatou
Ima nara chanto ieru ki ga shita
Nanimo iwazu hohoemi dakishimeta
Subete wo tsutsumi konde kureru hikari
Mata arukou
Ano hi no you ni

伝えたいこと あなたに ありがとう
今ならちゃんと言える気がした
なにも言わず 微笑み抱きしめた
全てを包み込んでくれる光
また歩こう
あの日のように

二つの影が茜空に伸びて
握りしめてた その手をそっと離した

背が伸びるにつれて
会話もなくなって
すれ違いの毎日に
シワが増えた顔にも
あなたの眼差しにも
気づくことできなかった

あの日の記憶 辿って 思い出す
あなたは変わらず優しい光
なにがあっても 必ず守ってくれた
全てを包み込んでくれる光
また歩こう
あの日のように

優しさを煙たがった
照れ臭くて言えなかった
不器用なまま 過ぎ去った 時間を巻き戻すよ
いつしか大人になった
ずっと目をそらしてきた
心の中に隠してたピースを今合わすよ
もう一度 二人で見よう 茜空

歩幅合わせて 歩いてくれた道
沈む夕日に 手のぬくもり 思い出した

伝えたいこと あなたに ありがとう
今ならちゃんと言える気がした
なにも言わず 微笑み抱きしめた
全てを包み込んでくれる光
また歩こう
あの日のように
