色が消えてく　光が負ける

消えたこの世界で私は　どうしてまだ生きてる

冷たい夜明け　朝がまた来る

産まれてから　私の記憶はあなたといつも一緒で

ああ　泣き出して気付くの　あなたにもう会えないこと

ああ　本当は私を　私だけを見てくれてたこと

一人の足音が歩道に響く*

点けた煙草の煙は冬の匂いと消えた

ああ　どうして私だけ　１人でここにいるんだろう

ああ　どうしてあなたはいなくなってしまったの

もう少し　もう少し　私が大人だから

守られてばかりの自分に気付けたのに

永遠だと思っていた日々は　あっけなく終わってしまったよ

ああ　泣き出して気付くの　あなたにもう会えないこと

ああ　本当は私を　私だけを見てくれてたこと

きっとあなたも眠れずに　寂しい思いをしているのでしょう

どうか私がいくまで　もう少し待っていて下さい

 

Translator's note: In the booklet for COUPLING COLLECTION 08-09, the 一人 is changed to １人, this doesn't change the reading or meaning.

*Translator’s note: in the studio version, Sono sings sabishii. In the youtube cover he made, he sings samishii. A lot of words that used to have an ‘m’ sound in them in classical Japanese have replaced it with a ‘b’ sound in moderd Japanese, sabishii is one of those words. You may still find it pronounced with an ‘m’ in artistic content like song lyrics.


Romaji from the European booklet:

(Romanized as: Tenjoueno kakehashiwo)

*Translator's note: Typo in the original booklet.

The colours fade. The light dims.

Why am I still alive in this vanished world?

The morning comes again on this chilly daybreak.

My thoughts have always been together with you since the day I was born.

Ah, what I’m crying about when I realize it, is that I will never get to meet you again.

Ah, actually, what I’m crying about is that you had eyes for me, me alone.

A single pair of footsteps echoes over the sidewalk.

The smoke of a lit cigarette disappears with the scent of the winter.

Ah, why is it that I alone am here with now nobody else?

Ah, why is it that you are gone?

Although I’m able to see now how I’ve always been looked after by you
because I've grown up just a little bit, just a little bit, to be an adult now,

those days I considered to be endless have abruptly come to an end.

Ah, what I’m crying about when I realize it, is that I will never get to meet you again.

Ah, actually, what I’m crying about is that you had eyes for me, me alone.

Surely you also have lonely thoughts when you are unable to sleep, right?

Please, I beg you, until the time comes that I go to you, please wait just a little longer.

Translation from the European booklet:

The Rope Bridge to Heaven

The colors are disappearing, the light gets defeated
Why am I still living in this world that disappeared?
It's a cold daybreak, and morning comes again
Sincde I was born, all my memories are together with you
Ah, I start crying and notice
That I can't meet you anymore
Ah, and the fact that in truth,
You always looked at me, at only me
On the pavement, the footsteps of one person echo
The smokes of the cigarette I lit
Vanished together with the scent of winter
Ah, why am I the only one here who's alone?
Ah, why did you disappear?
If I had been adult a little bit more, a little bit more
Then I would have been able to notice
That I was only getting protected
The days I thought to be eternal ended far too soon

Ah, I start crying and notice
That I can't meet you anymore
Ah, and the fact that in truth,
You always looked at me, at only me
I guess you are having lonely thoughts,
Without being able to sleep, as well
Please wait a little longer, until I go
Please wait a little longer, until I go
