AOI-168- "蜃気楼 (Shinkirou)" Lyrics, Romaji, Translation

蜃気楼 (Shinkirou)
"Mirage"

(from single "Hisureba Hana")

寄せては返す　時の漣　君を何処へ　連れていったのか
yosete wa kaesu toki no sazanami kimi wo doko e tsurete itta no ka
The ripples of time that break on the shore and retreat, where did they take you?

色のない海に　問いかけても　応えはなくて…
iro no nai umi ni toikaketemo kotae wa nakute
Even though I ask the colorless sea, there is no response

夕立の中　ひとけない道　それでも　合図する　信号機
yuudachi no naka hitokenai michi soredemo aizu suru shingouki
Under the sudden evening shower, it's a deserted road and yet the traffic light signals to me

立ち止まる僕を　急かすけれど　行き先はない
tachidomaru boku wo sekasu keredo yukisaki wa nai
Although it urges me on, I, standing still, have nowhere to go


今も　そう　瞳を閉じれば　君がそこで頬笑う
ima mo sou hitomi wo tojireba kimi ga soko de warau
Even now, yes, when I close my eyes, you are smiling there

この手　伸ばして　触れても　ほら
kono te nobashite furetemo hora
Though I reach out with this hand and touch you, look-

ゆらり　ゆらりと　消えてく　蜃気楼
yurari yurari to kieteku shinkirou
It's a mirage that, swaying, swaying, disappears


もしも　あの日　君と　出逢わなければ　僕は知らずにいたよ
moshimo ano hi kimi to deawanakereba boku wa shirazu ni ita yo
If I had not met you that day, I would have never known

人を愛し　愛される喜びを　失う哀しみを
hito wo aishi aisareru yorokobi wo ushinau kanashimi wo
The joy of loving someone and being loved, the sorrow of losing

まるで夜空に　咲いた花火のように
marude yozora ni saita hanabi no you ni
Just like the fireworks blooming in the night sky,

ひかり　瞬き　儚く　消え去った　この心奪って
hikari matataki hakanaku kiesatta kono kokoro ubatte
The light, the sparks fleetingly disappeared, stealing away this heart

もいちど　もういちど　君に会いたい
moichido mou ichido kimi ni aitai
Once more, just once more, I want to meet you



夏を彩り　揺れる南瓜花 あの頃の景色を思い出す
natsu wo irodori yureru nananka ano koro no keshiki wo omoi dasu
I recall the scenery of back then; swaying pumpkin flowers coloring the summer,

タンデムシートに君を乗せた　海岸通り
tandemushi-to ni kimi wo noseta kaigandoori
The sea-front street where I gave you a ride on my motorbike

サイドミラーに映る笑顔と　背中に響く君の歌声
saidomira- ni utsuru egao to senaka ni hibiku kimi no utagoe
Your smile reflected in the side mirror, your singing voice echoing behind my back

永遠に続くものと信じてた　幸せなとき
towa ni tsuzuku mono to shinjiteta shiawase na toki
Times of happiness that I believed would go on forever


心　そう　変わるはずがない　不確かな誓いは
kokoro sou kawaru hazu ga nai futashika na chikai wa
My heart, yes, of course it won't change, the vow that was uncertain

巡る　季節に　彩を変えて
meguru kisetsu ni kiro wo kaete
Changes colour with the recurring seasons

ゆらり　ゆらりと　消えてく　蜃気楼
yurari yurari to kieteku shinkirou
It's a mirage that, swaying, swaying, disappears


もしも　あの日　君の　言葉の意味に　僕が　気付けていたら
moshimo ano hi kimi no kotoba no imi ni boku ga kizukete itara
If, that day, I had realized the meaning of your words

君を愛し　愛される喜びを　失わずにいれた?
kimi wo aishi aisareru yorokobi wo ushinawazu ni ireta
Could I not have lost the joy of loving you and being loved?

まるで　僕らは　月と太陽のように
marude bokura wa tsuki to taiyou no you ni
We are just like the moon and the sun

ひかり　暗闇　交わることはない　追いかけ続けても
hikari kurayami majiwaru koto wa nai oikake tsuzuketemo
The light and dark that won't ever intersect, even if I keep chasing after you

もう二度と　もう二度と　君に会えない
mou nidoto mou nidoto kimi ni aenai
Never again, never again can I meet you


もしも　あの日　君の　涙の意味に　僕が　気付けていたら
moshimo ano hi kimi no namida no imi ni boku ga kizukete itara
If, that day, I had realized the meaning of your tears

君を愛し　愛される喜びを　失わずにいれた?
kimi wo aishi aisareru yorokobi wo ushinawazu ni ireta
Could I not have lost the joy of loving you and being loved?

もしも　あの日　君と　出逢わなければ　僕は知らずにいたよ
moshimo ano hi kimi to deawanakereba boku wa shirazu ni ita yo
If I had not met you that day, I would have never known

人を愛し　愛される喜びを　失う哀しみを
hito wo aishi aisareru yorokobi wo ushinau kanashimi wo
The joy of loving someone and being loved, the sorrow of losing


まるで夜空に　咲いた花火のように
marude yozora ni saita hanabi no you ni
Just like the fireworks blooming in the night sky,

ひかり　瞬き　儚く　消え去った　この心奪って
hikari matataki hakanaku kiesatta kono kokoro ubatte
The light, the sparks fleetingly disappeared, stealing away this heart

もいちど　もういちど　君に会いたい
moichido mou ichido kimi ni aitai
Once more, just once more, I want to meet you

君に会いたい
kimi ni aitai
I want to meet you

After hearing the full versions of Aochan's new songs, I eventually decided to get the A Type.
At first I was going to get B coz I liked "BURN" but after hearing the full version of "requiem" I decided I like that one better. I'll upload lyrics/translation to "requiem" sometime this week.

Romaji & translation belong to me.
