Hidamari

kimi ga kureta kotobatachi wa 
suteki da kedo nazo mo ooi kara 
itsumo hitorikiri no toki 
sono imi ni kizuku

the words you gave me 
they were wonderful, but cryptic all the same 
it's always when i'm all alone 
that the meaning sinks in

ato ni natte yasashisa o shiru 
arigatou o ii ni oikakeru 
nanoni kimi wa sono saki o susundeite 
oitsukenai mama de

only later on do i realize your kindness 
i run after you to say thank you 
but you've already proceeded ahead 
before i could catch up with you

hikari ga sasu akarui hi no hou e hashirou 
kitto soko de kimi ga mieru ne 
yami no naka o susumu hazu ga nai

i'll run to a bright and shining day 
i know i'll see you there 
you couldn't possibly tread into the darkness

taiyou no kakudo de kage ni naru yokogao o 
mamorinukeru kurai takaku tsuyoku [bad word] yo 
shinayaka na hidamari no you ni

the angle of the sun causes shadows to cast upon your profile 
i want to shine high and bright, just enough to protect it 
like a nice and sunny place

kimi ga warai furimuita toki 
kuraku natta soba no hoo ni wa 
umaku [bad word] tsumori demo 
namida no sen oritatamareteita

when you smiled and turned your face away 
despite your best efforts to hold them back 
tears trickled down 
the darkened side of your cheek

damatta mama mune no hako no naka ni shimaou 
sotto [bad word] koto nara 
tatta hitotsu dekiru sakimawari

i'll silently tuck it away into a box in my heart 
if i wish to leave you be 
then all that can be done is to beat you to it

hikari to kagetachi ga chirachira suru komorebi 
tsutsundeshimaitai tanoshii kanashii dono omoi mo 
atataka na hidamari no you ni

shadows and light flicker under the eaves of the trees 
i want to embrace all the running emotions, the joy and the sorrow 
like a warm and sunny place

egao no o o hiite kimi wa mata sono saki e 
tsutsundeshimaitai ureshii kuyashii kono omoi mo

leaving a tail of smiles behind you, you continue onwards 
i want to embrace this feeling of being torn between happiness and regret

taiyou no kakudo de kage ni naru yokogao o 
mamorinukeru kurai takaku tsuyoku [bad word] yo 
shinayaka na hidamari no you ni

the angle of the sun causes shadows to cast upon your profile 
i want to shine high and bright, just enough to protect it 
like a nice and sunny place

hanarete mo yorisoeru kokoro
