Death Wish
震える体をそっとおさえ
となりで眠る 天使の顔をのぞいた
見たこともない 静寂と沈黙の中で
目に焼き付いた 光に魘されて
明日もこの夜空に
今にも零れそうな 星は見られるの...
風に靡く髪を指にからめ
君を抱きよせ 口づけ交わしてた
あの時の君は 今の僕と同じ...
冷たい風を 一人で見つめてた
今ならわかりあえる
あの時の君が 流した涙の理由さえも
忘れていた君の香りさえ 思い出して
こぼれる涙を数えて
"君の詩" そっと 口ずさみながら
あの日のように 夜空に指で描いて
運んでゆく...君の場所へ
もうすぐ...ほら...出逢える
忘れていた君の香りさえ 思い出して
こぼれる涙を数えて
"君の詩" そっと 口ずさみながら
あの日のように 夜空に指で描いてる
そばに見える death wishの扉さえも
温かいヌクモリを 感じている
君の名をそっと 口ずさみながら
あの日のように ずっと愛してあげる
運んでゆく...僕のすべてを
きっと、また...ほら... 出逢える

I quietly seized control of my trembling body
and snuck a glimpse of the face of the angel sleeping next to me
In the midst of a stillness and silence I have never seen before
I cried out in my sleep at the light that scorched my eyes1
Again in this night sky tomorrow,
will I be able to see the stars that even now seem to be about to overflow...?
I ran my fingers through your hair as it fluttered in the breeze
Held you close and we kissed
Back then you were, like I am now...
Staring alone into the cold wind
Now I can understand you
Even the reason why your tears fell back then
Even your scent I had forgotten, I remember it
and count up the overflowing tears
as I softly sing "your song" to myself
I trace a picture in the sky with my finger, like on that day
I'm bringing it...to where you are
In a just a moment…see…we can meet2
Even your scent I had forgotten, I remember it
and count up the overflowing tears
as I softly sing "your song" to myself
I trace a picture in the sky with my finger, like on that day
Even in the gateway to the death wish I can see beside me
I can feel a gentle warmth
As I softly sing your name to myself
I'll always love you, like on that day
I'm bringing it...all that I am
Surely, once more...see...we can meet2
1. This line is often mistranslated due to the fact that one of the most popular online J>E dictionaries, which a heap of smaller dictionaries are based on, have a dodgy English definition of this rather obscure word. 魘される (unasareru) comes from うなる (unaru) which means to moan or groan, except it's written with the kanji for "have a nightmare". So 魘される (unasareru) actually means "to make a noise in your sleep due to having a nightmare", even though a large number of J->E online dictionaries just say "to have a nightmare". So "hikari ni unasareta" means "I cried out in my sleep at the light (which I was having a nightmare of)".
2. Since this song is clearly about dying or wanting to die to be with someone again, I thought I'd talk about this line. "Hora" in Japanese is used to call attention to something "Look!" "There it is!", and in this context sort of emphasises that what he's talking about is happening as he speaks, "Look, I'm coming to you. Here I am!"
