しゃぼん (Shabon) – Bubbles


from Too many people album.

——

Surely, I’m too cowardly, with my brave yet sad cheerfulness
Just like a bubble, reaching near the roof, then disappearing

Unless there’s someone always looking up at me
I can’t cross that line
Circling the rainbow, a bubble that can’t fix on a color

Are there angels above me? A light that makes my heart dance?
Are you right beside me? Are you watching me?

Are you happy now? Or are you sad?
I ask myself again and again, cast away

Where did this loneliness come from?
Even so, even so, aah, even so

So beautiful, the flowers are so beautiful
Just looking at them with these emotions
Even if I don’t speak, my feelings alone will reach out

Are there lies in my love? Is there a scenery that can heal my heart?
Is there a song beside you? Are you glittering?

Are you happy now? Or are you sad?
I ask myself again and again, cast away

Bad at saying goodbye, I just can’t move
Even so, even so, aah, even so

Burst and gone, gone without a sound
Slowly, it gets brighter. It’s morning, is that the answer?

Are you happy now? Or are you sad?
I ask myself again and again, cast away

Where did this loneliness come from?
Even so, even so, aah, even so

Kitto boku wa totemo okubyou de yuukan de setsunaku youki de
Yane no chikaku made todoite wa kieru shabon no you

Dareka ni itsumademo miage rareteru dake ja
Soko wo koeru koto wa dekinai
Nijiiro ni mawaru iro no sadamaranai shabon

Boku no ue ni tenshi wa iru kai mune wo odorasu hikari wa aru kai
Boku no soba ni kimi wa iru kai miteite kureru kai

Ima shiawase desu ka kurushii desu ka
Nandomo jibun ni toi kakete miru nageru

Kono samishisa wa dokokara kurun darou
Soredemo soredemo aa soredemo

Kirei da ne hana wa kirei da ne
Konna kimochi de nagameteru koto
Kuchi ni shinakutemo kono omoi dake wa tsutawaru

Boku no ai ni uso wa aru kai kokoro wo mamoru keshiki wa aru kai
Kimi no soba ni uta wa aru kai kirakira to shiteru kai

Ima shiawase desu ka kurushii desu ka
Nandomo jibun ni toi kakete miru nageru

Sayonara ga heta de ugokenain darou
Soredemo soredemo aa soredemo

Hajikete kieru oto mo naku kieru
Masumasu akaruku natte yuku no wa asa sa kotae kai

Ima shiawase desu ka kurushii desu ka
Nandomo jibun ni toi kakete miru nageru

Kono samishisa wa dokokara kurun darou
Soredemo soredemo aa soredemo

KANJI

きっと僕はとても臆病で 勇敢で切なく陽気で
屋根の近くまで届いては消える しゃぼんのよう

誰かにいつまでも見上げられてるだけじゃ
そこを越えることは出来ない
虹色に回る 色の定まらないしゃぼん

僕の上に天使は居るかい 胸を踊らす光はあるかい
僕の側に君は居るかい 見ていてくれるかい

いま幸せですか 苦しいですか
何度も自分に問いかけてみる 投げる

この寂しさは どこから来るんだろう
それでも それでも ああそれでも

締麗だね 花は締麗だね
こんな気持ちで眺めてること
口にしなくてもこの思いだけは伝わる

僕の愛に嘘はあるかい 心を守る景色はあるかい
君の側に歌はあるかい きらきらとしてるかい

いま幸せですか 苦しいですか
何度も自分に問いかけてみる 投げる

さよならが下手で 動けないんだろう
それでも それでも ああそれでも

弾けて消える 音もなく消える
ますます明るくなってゆくのは 朝さ 答えかい

いま幸せですか 苦しいですか
何度も自分に問いかけてみる 投げる

この寂しさは どこから来るんだろう
それでも それでも ああそれでも
