待ちわびた土曜日に
日めくりの数字たち
軽やかに脈打つハーモニー

古着屋 USアーミー
内ボタンの縫い目に
ささやかに芽生えるアイロニー

ゆらゆらと木漏れ日
ざわついた並木道
軽やかに脈打つハーモニー
見とれるくらいの空に轟音で鳴くジェット機
ささやかに芽生えるアイロニー

それは本当に必要?

時が経っても忘れないでよ
川沿いに揺れる風景

届かぬ想いだけ束ねる水辺の幼生
殻の中で願い続けて
水面を揺らす風
広がる波紋の様に
君の胸に優しく響いた音色

今日も何かを探すよ

本当に
本当に必要?

叶わぬ願いだけ束ねる水辺の幼生
殻が脱げて飛び立つ日まで
透き通る薄い羽
想いを運ぶ夜虫
君の胸で消えそうな心を優しく包んだ音色

Machiwabita doyoubi ni
Himekuri no suujitachi
Karoyaka ni myakuutsu HAAMONII

Furugiya US AAMII
Uchi botan no nuime ni
Sasayaka ni mebaeru AIRONII

Yurayura to komorebi
Zawatsuita namikimichi
Karoyaka ni myakuutsu HAAMONII

Mitoreru kurai no sora ni
Gouon de naku jettoki
Sasayaka ni mebaeru AIRONII

Sore wa hontouni hitsuyou?

Toki ga tatte mo
Wasurenai deyo
Kawazoi ni yureru fuukei

Todoke ka nu omoi dake
Tabaneru mizube no yousei
Kara no naka de
Negai tsuzukete

Minamo wo yurasu kaze
Hirogaru hamon noyouni
Kimi no mune ni
Yasashiku hibiita neiro

Kyou mo nanika wo sagasu yo

Kana wa nu negai dake
Tabaneru mizube no yousei
Kara ga nugete
Tobitatsu hi made

Sukitooru usui hane
Omoi wo hakobu yoru mushi
Kimi no mune de
Kiesou na kokoro wo
Yasashiku tsutsunda neiro

To a long awaited Saturday
Lead the numbers on a daily calendar
A lightly pulsating harmony
A thrift store, US Army
In the stitching of the inner buttons
The slightest of ironies take root
Sunlight flickering through the leaves
A bustling tree lined street
A lightly pulsating harmony
A jet engine roaring loudly across a fascinatingly beautiful sky
The slightest or ironies take root
Is that really necessary?
Time may pass but don't you forget
The scenery that shimmers along the river
Neoteny in the waters collecting wishes that remain unheard
Praying continuously in their shells
A wind that caresses the water surface
Like the ripples that spread
A sound that gently echoes in your soul
My search continues today
Really
Is that really necessary?
Neoteny in teh waters collecting unfulfilled wishes
Until the day comes when they cast off their shells and fly away
Thin transparent wings
Insects of the night, carriers of wishes
A sound that gently envelops
My heart on the verge of disappearing in your soul
