Flower



もう戻れなくて取り戻せなくて
失ったものが余りにも多すぎて
季節外れの雪を掴んで空にばらまいた

オマエの零した涙が粉雪に変わってゆく
きまぐれなその微笑にただ触れたくて

許されはしない罪を繰り返して
たとえ地獄に堕ちこの躯を焼かられても
微笑をくれるオマエがいればいい

生まれ変わるなら寄り添う花に

ただ奪い合ってた憎しみ合ってた
あの時代の片隅で泣いていた
名もないオレにはただ眩しすぎる花でした

オマエの残した言葉が今も胸に募る
「未来のない世界などない...」と
微笑んで

一人で眠れない夜はまた訪れ
たとえただ空しい結末が待ってても
オマエがいればいいただそれだけでいい

生まれ変わるなら寄り添う花に

一人残され涙は枯れ果て
無情に季節は変わり続ける

思い出にしがみついても
あの頃には戻れなくて
終り無き哀しみ重ねて

大地は果てしなくすべては美しく
オマエが目を閉じた季節は過ぎてゆく
哀しみは今も消えはしないけれど
想い焦がれていた世界が始まる

哀しみの果てにやっと見つけた
オマエという名の花を抱きしめた
やるせないほどに愛が零れて逝く

生まれ変わるならオマエのそばに
You are the irreplaceable flower

You are the irreplaceable flower



I can't go back, I can't take it back
there's far too many things I've lost
I caught the unseasonal snow and scattered it across the sky

The tears you shed are changing to powder snow
I just want to touch that impulsive smile of yours

Even if I repeat the sin that will never be forgiven
and descend to hell, my body burning
It's okay if you're there giving me a smile

If I am reborn, let us be flowers nestled close together1

I was just struggling with others, hating and being hated
crying in a corner of that time
To I without a name, you were merely a too bright flower

The words you left behind grow stronger in my heart even now
"There's no such thing as a world without tomorrow",2
you smiled

The lonely, sleepless nights come to call again
Even if I'm just waiting for a meaningless ending3
If you're there, it's okay, just that makes it okay

If I am reborn, let us be flowers nestled close together

Left alone, my tears dry up
the seasons keep on changing mercilessly

Even if I cling to my memories
I can't return to that time
only repeat my endless sadness

The earth goes on forever, everything is beautiful
the season when you closed your eyes is passing by
Even now, the sadness won't vanish, but
the world I longed for is beginning

At the end of my sadness, I found it at last
I held the flower named "you" close
The love overflows and it overwhelms me…4


If I am reborn, let it be by your side
You are the irreplaceable flower



1. This is an example of a Japanese sentence merely implying the last word rather than actually saying it.  Since the missing word is in the middle of the sentence in English, it might be more correct to translate this as "If I am reborn, (I want us to be) flowers nestled close together"

2. He writes 未来"mirai"- future, but sings 明日"asu"- tomorrow

3. He writes 結末"ketsumatsu", which means "conclusion", but sings 終わり"owari", which means "end". 

4. He writes the word "yuku"- "to go on doing something" with a kanji that means "to die".  Implying that the character in the song finds what he's looking for and dies as the feeling overwhelms him.
