The deeper I know you, the more I end up not understanding you at all...

Anata wo fukaku shiru hodo ni
Anata ga wakara naku naru
[The deeper I know you
The more I end up not understanding you at all]


Akai ito nado mie nai kuse ni
Shinjiteta no wa modore nai kara
[And yet I cannot see something like "a red string"
Because I cannot undo my faith for you]


Dakishimete uso wo shitte ita noni
Oboreru kokoro kakuse nai
Kuchibiru ni shizumu anata no netsu ni
Mitasare te yuku modore nai imasara
[Hold me - Although I knew it's a lie I won't hide my drowning heart
I drown in your lips, I will be satisfied by your warmth
I can't go back even now]


Furidashi ta ame no naka de
Kasa mo sasezu ni furue teru
Kodoku wo shiru no ga kowai kara
Anata motome te ta
[I'm shivering in the rain that began to fall
Without holding an umbrella
Because I'm afraid of knowing loneliness
I wanted you]

Akai ito nado mie nai kuse ni
Motome au no wa modore nai kara
[And yet I cannot see something like "a red string"
Because I cannot undo my longing for you]


Dakishimete uso wo shitte ita noni
Oboreru kokoro kakuse nai
Kuchibiru ni shizumu anata no netsu ni
Mitasare te yuku modore nai imasara
[Hold me - Although I knew it's a lie I won't hide my drowning heart
I drown in your lips, I will be satisfied by your warmth. I can't go back even now]


Tameiki majiri no kotoba ni unazuki kaesu
Kake chigau koto de mata futari wa warai aeru sa
I want to believe it
[I nodded to your words that were mingled with a sigh
"We will be able to laugh together at our disagreements again"
I want to believe it]

Akai ito nado mie nai kuse ni
Shinjiteta no wa modore nai kara
[And yet I cannot see something like "a red string"
Because I cannot undo my faith for you]


Subete ni owari ga aru to suru nara
Futari wa kitto eien de...
Tashika na mono nado nai to iu nara
Futari no asu wo chikaeru yo
[If it's a given that everything will have an end
We will certainly for eternity ...
If it is said there is nothing that is certain
We can swear by our tomorrow]


Dakishimete uso wo shitte ita noni
Oboreru kokoro kakuse nai
Kuchibiru ni shizumu anata no netsu ni
Mitasare te yuku modore nai imasara
[Hold me - Although I knew it's a lie I won't hide my drowning heart
I drown in your lips, I will be satisfied by your warmth. I can't go back even now]

Red - The Gazette

And this landscape is a monochrome frame...

Anata totomoni sugoseru hibi wa mou
Dareka mo yaburi sutete shimatta no deshou
[Days to be spent with you 
Do you think they have been broken and thrown away]

Semete onaji umi no ne wo kiiteitai
Anata no koe ga
Anata no kotoba ga
Chikaku de hibiite furueru
Kioku wa soko de tomatta mama
[At least let me listen to the sound of the ocean
Your voice 
Your words 
Make an echo around me and tremble 
My memories stop there] 

Mata anata totomoni eiga no you na
Aoku somaru machi wo nagametai noni
[If we could only do it again 
Staring to the city that becomes blue like on a movie scene ]

Douka kurai umi no soko ni shizumete
Tadoru tabi
Omoidasu tabi ni
Subete wo tsuranuku setsuna sa
Kioku wa koko de togireta mama de
[Will you drown me in the deep dark ocean? 
Everytime I make up my memories 
Every time I remember 
There's a piercing sorrow 
My memories end there ]

Fukaku naru
[It becomes deeper ]

Anata ga inai
Kono keshiki wa
Monokuroomu fuuremu
[You're not here 
And this landscape 
is a monochrome frame]

Ano keshiki wo
Ima mo omoi tsuzukete
[This landscape 
That continues in my mind]

Monochrome Frame - Kanon Wakeshima

The red moon dreams in the last sky...

Te wo nobashite kimi ni fureta toki
Takai onpu ga mune no naka ni hitotsu
Kure yuku sora futari de mitsumeta
Dokomade mo tsuduku sekai ga
Yonde ita
[When I reached out and touched you
there was a single high note in my heart
As we gazed at the darkening sky,
the world that continues on endlessly
was calling out]

Koi ni ochite itami wo shiri
Hito wa hito ni nareru no darou
Kimi ga naita yoru no mukou
Hibiki wataru toki no SHINBARU
[People become people by falling in love
and knowing pain don't they?
On the other side of the night that you cried
the cymbals of time resounded]

Kono sora ni egaku futari no karuma ga
Ai no uta wo kanaderu to kitto shinjite
Akai tsuki no namida shizuka na ongaku
Ikite yukou
Hikari wo wake au you ni
[I surely believe that the karma that we create together in this sky
will play a song of love,
the tears of the red moon are a quiet music
Let's live so that we can share the light]

Kimi no koe ga yonde kureta kara
Hajimete no negai ga umareta you de
Sono te wo tori mihatenu sora made
Rokugatsu no akai tsukikage
Oikakete
[Because you called out to me
it was like a wish being born for the first time
I'll hold your hand until we reach an unfinished sky,
chasing after the red moonlight of June]

Umare ochita namida no umi
Hito wa nando sakebu no darou
Tsuieta yume, kage no naka ni
Hikari are to
Hibike areru ya
[How many times have people cried out
as they are born into a sea of tears?
An alleluia echoes within the shadow of a collapsed dream
'let there be light']

Ikite yuku, tada sore dake no karuma ga
Yorokobi yori kurushimi wo yobu no wa doushite
Yume miru no wa itsumo shizuka na ongaku
Kimi to nemuru kanata he todoku you ni
[Why does the karma of simply living
bring more pain than it does joy?
I always dream of quiet music
so that I can reach across the distance to where it sleeps together with you]

Kimi ni fureta toki
Hajimete no uta ga sekai ni umareta
[When I reached out and touched you
a song was born for the first time in the world]

Kudake ochita natsu no naka ni
Hibiki wataru nageki no uta
Koi mo yume mo itsuka kiete
Soredemo mada todokanu koe
[In the middle of a broken summer
resounds a song of lament
Both love and dreams will one day disappear
but even so my voice doesn't reach]

Yogoreta te de hana wo kurai
Kimi to tomo ni ikiru no darou
Horobi no yume toki no mukou
Kikoeru deshou Tooi areru ya
[As I take a flower with dirtied hands
I wonder if I can live together with you
In a dream of destruction at the other side of time
you can hear it, right?
A far away alleluia]

Kono sora ni tatta ichido dakede ii
Ai no uta wo hibikasete
Homura no you ni
Afure dasu yo hageshiku shizuka na ongaku
Akai tsuki wa yume wo miru
Saigo no sora
[It's ok if it's just once in this sky,
let a song of love resound like a flame
It begins to overflow, an intensely quiet music
The red moon dreams
in the last sky]

Mada minu mirai wo mune ni daite
Miageta saki wa momo-iro no sora
[You, me, and the cherry blossom weather returns after being swayed by the wind 
with the unseen future held in my chest, I look ahead and see the pink sky]
