Kobukuro – Kazamidori

作詩：小渕健太郎 作曲：小渕健太郎

何気なく交わした約束が　心の道を照らすよ
あの日始まった物語の鍵となり　どんな扉も開けてくれた
the casual promise that we made showed me the way to the heart
with the key of the tale that began on that day, doors to all kinds of possibilities opened to me

てっぺんが見えないほど高い　フェンスの向こう側へと
夢だけ先に放り投げてよじ登り　祈りの陽を見つめていた
so high the summit can’t be seen, i make my way towards the fence
recklessly clambering up with only my dreams with me, i gazed at the light of my prayers

いつの日も　向かい風を探す　風見鶏のように
真っすぐ時代と立ち向かい　生きてゆきたい
逃げ出さないように　流されないように
心に　深く深く　突き立てた　風見鶏
no matter which day, always looking for a suitable wind, just like a weather cock
i want to begin living by facing the times that are straight ahead
so i won’t need to run away, so i won’t be drifting around
perched deeply in my heart, weather cock

泣きながら君がくれた手紙　財布の隅においてある
懐かしい声をなぞるような丸文字に　何度力を借りただろう
i kept the letter you gave to me in tears in a corner of my wallet
how many times have i borrowed strength from tracing your dear voice in your words?

譲れない想いを滲ませた　涙　乾かぬ道に
刻む足跡もやがて消えゆく　そこに咲かせてゆこう　微笑みの花
on a wet street, tears blurred the memories i’ve held onto
the footprints etched on it too will vanish before long. will the flower of a smile bloom there?

いつの日か　朝焼けに飛び立つ　渡り鳥のように
幾重の願いが　空の果てに弧を描くよ
佇む風の跡　たどればどこかで
きっと　きっと待ってる　君想う… ’cause I believe my dream
one of these days i’ll fly away in the morning light, just like a migrating bird
the repeated wishes will form an arc at the ends of the sky
even as i follow the trails of a lingering wind to anywhere
surely, surely, i’ll be waiting, thinking of you… ’cause I believe my dream

優しさ見失ってまで強くなって　何を守れるのだろう
一番そばにあった笑顔が　咲く場所　探しているのに
till i lose sight of your tenderness i’ll keep growing stronger. what am i protecting?
its the place that i am looking for, where the greatest smile blooms

いつの日か　いつの日か　もう一度あの街へ　君の待つ場所まで
真っすぐ自分と立ち向かい　生きてゆきたい
弱い自分に勝てるなら　誰に負けたって良いさ
唇　噛みしめれば　聴こえるよ　君の声
いつの日も　風見鶏
one of these days, one of these days, going towards that street again, till the place where you’re waiting
i want to begin living by facing the me that is straight ahead
because i’ve surpassed my weak self. i’m not afraid of losing anymore
your lips, if i reflect upon it, i can hear, your voice
no matter which day, weather cock
