Memorial address ~take2 version~ – ayumi hamasaki

from Memorial address album.

—–

Late at night, I fell asleep with an uneasy heart
And remembered having a very sad dream
That morning, as if to break the silent premonition
The phone rang, and it became reality
Leaving a scar forever in my heart
You became a star alone

Goodbye
You’ve gone to a place where we won’t meet again
I can’t accept the coldness of this eternal parting
I wanted to hear it
Doesn’t matter if it’s a lie
I wanted to hear that you had truly loved me
Just once is enough

With seemingly endless sorrow, the curtain drops
The season changes, the cold violently seeps in
On the first day of this unforgettable summer
This year, the sky continues to cry in my stead
Because this seems like just a continuation of my dream
I still can’t bring myself to cry

Goodbye
These last words won’t even reach you
Reluctantly, I am made to realize the coldness of this parting
I wanted to hear it
Doesn’t matter if it’s a lie
I wanted to hear that you didn’t regret the days we spent
Just once is enough

Why, till the very very end
Did you leave only memories?

Goodbye
You’ve gone to a place where we won’t meet again
I can’t accept the coldness of this eternal parting
I wanted to hear it
Doesn’t matter if it’s a lie
I wanted to hear that you had truly loved me
Just once is enough

Tell me that this is just a continuation of my dream
And that I just haven’t woken up

胸騒ぎとともに眠りについた夜更け
とても悲しい夢を見ていたのを覚えている
その朝予感は沈黙を破るように
鳴り出した電話で現実のものとなった
心に消えない傷跡を残したまま
あなたは一人星になった

さよならね
もう二度と会えない場所へ行ったのね
永遠の別れの冷たさを受け止められずに
聞かせてほしかった
嘘で構わないから
あたしはあなたに確かに愛されてたって
たった一度でいいから

終わりなきはずの悲しみは幕を閉じて
季節もかわって寒さがやけに身にしみるけど
あれは忘れもしない夏の始まりの日で
あたしの代わりに今年は空が泣き続けた
だってあまりにも夢の続きの様で
まだ泣くことさえもできないまま

さよならね
最後の言葉さえ届かない
別れの冷たさを嫌ってほど思い知らせれる
聞かせてほしかった
嘘で構わないから
過ごしたあの日々をくやんだりしてないんだって
たった一度でいいから

どうしてそうやって最後の最後まで
ねえ思い出だけを置いてくの

さよならね
もう二度と会えない場所へ行ったのね
永遠の別れの冷たさを受け止められずに
聞かせてほしかった
嘘で構わないから
あたしはあなたに確かに愛されてたって
たった一度でいいから

これはただの夢の続きの物語で
あたしはまだ目が覚めてないだけと言って

Left over from long ago
The wounds have started to hurt again
I hid my trembling heart
And substituted it with a smile

No matter how old I get, I remain the same
Even now, I only know
To mask cowardice by bravado

The feelings I wish to tell are overflowing, but
Hey, I can’t put them into words well
If I hadn’t met you
I wouldn’t have known such tantalizing pain

Slowly, I start to accept
The existence of the past I can’t heal
And that I can’t help
Feeling afraid of the future I can’t deny

Just how much more courage do I need to have
To be able to puff out my chest
And admit that some things are precious to me

The feelings I have are definite, but
Hey, I always can’t put them into words
Everyone will also carry these feelings
Which they have no way to say and live through today again

The feelings I wish to tell are overflowing, but
Hey, I can’t put them into words well
If I hadn’t met you
I won’t know such tantalizing pain

The feelings I have are definite, but
Hey, I always can’t put them into words
Everyone will also carry these feelings
Which they have no way to say and live through today again

残された遠い昔の
傷跡が疼き出してまた
震えてる心隠して
微笑みにすり替えた

いくつになっても相変わらずな私は
今でも臆病で
強がる事ばかり覚えて行く

伝えたい想いは溢れるのに
ねぇ上手く言葉にならない
あなたに出会えていなければこんな
もどかしい痛みさえも知らなかったね

少しずつ認め始めた
癒されぬ過去の存在と
拒めない未来にいくら
怯えても仕方ないと

あとどの位の勇気が持てたら私は
大事なものだけを
胸を張って大事と言えるだろう

確かな想いは感じるのに
ねぇいつも言葉に出来ない
誰もがこうして言葉にならない
想いを抱えながら今日も生きている

伝えたい想いは溢れるのに
ねぇ上手く言葉にならない
あなたに出会えていなければこんな
もどかしい痛みさえも知らずに

確かな想いは感じるのに
ねぇいつも言葉に出来ない
誰もがこうして言葉にならない
想いを抱えながら今日も生きている

Hey, why do I
Pursue these tracks once again?
Hey, so many summers
Have already passed since then, but

No matter what, I still remember

The voice calling my name, so casually
I want to forget, but I don’t want to forget

Hey, the road I chose
Was not the wrong one, right?
Hey, I’ve tried asking
But the answer doesn’t exist anywhere

I don’t want to, but I know

Let me hear someday, from your lips
That you are happy, then smile

Yes, while the memories remain beautiful
Gently, with a key, let’s lock them up

This feeling
This feeling
Launch it into the sky

Like fireworks
Like fireworks
Scatter beautifully

ねぇどうしてまた
振り返ってる 足跡辿って
ねぇあれからもう夏は
何度も 巡っているのに

何もかもまだ 覚えているよ

名前呼ぶ声 何気ないクセ
忘れたいのに 忘れたくない

ねぇ選んだ道は間違って
なかったかな なんて
ねぇ誰に尋ねてみても
答えは 何処にもない事

嫌になる程 わかってるから

いつか聞かせて 君の口から
幸せだよと そして笑って

思い出はそう 美しいまま
そっと鍵かけ しまっておこう

この想いよ
この想いよ
空へ打ち上がり

花火のように

Tight and severe
Heartnumbing
Despondent
Tight and severe again
Dignified
Aloof

You know every single side of me

Continuing on like it never ends
But this road will come to an end
That is just one limit
I want to drop by
And create an escape route
But being alone has no meaning

Because, really
The only thing of value
Is love, right?

So
Even if noone in this world knows me
As long as you alone are there to see me
That’s why I’m here
But
Even if noone in this world knows me
There may be a real me that
Even you do not yet know

That place where we wish to reach
There are so many of them to choose from
We don’t know which to pick, but
Feeling the same future
To see your profile walking beside me
Is more real than anything

Because, in the end
The only thing with meaning
Is love, right?

Yes
It’s ok that noone in this world knows me
You alone are the only one who knows
About this me
Yes
It’s ok that noone in this world knows me
Because we both know well
About this two of us

So
Even if noone in this world knows me
As long as you alone are there to see me
That’s why I’m here
But
Even if noone in this world knows me
There may be a real me that
Even you do not yet know

Tight and severe
Heartnumbing
Despondent

選択肢は多すぎて
見当もつかないけれど

愛だけでしょう

たったひとりあなただけは知っていて

Because of You – ayumi hamasaki

from Memorial adress album.

Our eyes met, and we exchanged words
I masked my pounding heart with a laugh
I don’t think I can return to how I was before I met you

The wind has turned cold
Laughing voices turn into white mists
Maybe winter is the reason why
I cry without any reason

The night we first met
I remember it even now

Our eyes met, and we exchanged words
I masked my pounding heart with a laugh
I don’t think I can return to how I was before I met you

Even though we’ve slowly come to know each other
Suddenly, we didn’t understand anything at all

Scream if you want to
Until you can tell me what you wish to say

Feelings grew stronger when we couldn’t meet
Our hearts hurt when our voices couldn’t reach
I couldn’t return to how I was before I met you

Somehow, please don’t
Look at me with those sorrowful eyes
And give me a broken, vanishing smile
Hey, what can I do for you?

Feelings grew stronger when we couldn’t meet
Our hearts hurt when our voices couldn’t reach
I can’t return to how I was before I met you

Why can’t we speak honestly sometimes?
Why can’t we be gentle sometimes?

Why do we hurt each other sometimes?
Why need we verify ourselves sometimes?

Why does it hurt like this sometimes?
Why are you so precious no matter what?

I can’t do without you
I can’t do without you

目と目合ってそして言葉を交わした
胸が高鳴って笑顔で隠した
君を知らなかった頃に戻れなくなりそうで

風がもう冷たくなったね
笑い声が白く滲む
訳もなく泣けてくるのは
冬のせいかも知れない

出会った夜を
今でも覚えてる

目と目合ってそして言葉を交わした
胸が高鳴って笑顔で隠した
君を知らなかった頃に戻れなくなりそうで

少しずつ知っていくのに
急に全部わからなくなる

叫んでもいい
伝わるまで伝えて

会えない時間に想いが募った
届かない声に心が痛んだ
君を知らなかった頃に戻れなくなっていた

どうかそんな風に
悲しげな瞳で
壊れそうに消えそうに笑わないで
ねえ僕には何ができる

会えない時間に想いが募った
届かない声に心が痛んだ

どうして時々優しくなれない

どうして時々傷つけ合ってる
どうして時々確かめ合ってる

どうして時々こんなに苦しい
どうしていつでもこんなに愛しい

The longed-for season has finally arrived
The wind blows gustily, the streets come alive

Morning comes earlier than usual
Just because of that, it seems easier to walk on well
I’ve realized that

Stories that make the heart ache
Are overflowing in this age, but
Do not throw away enjoyment
For the sake of sorrow

The short summer is starting
I want to make many memories with you
The sun is just shining bright
The waves break and retreat on the shore as usual

Through the gaps between buildings, a warped piercing sky
The sky I used to see was endlessly wide

Even on days when clouds hide my heart, you stay with me
And show me a gentle smile
Thank you for that

That may not be a certain thing
But it may be essential
There is definitely something to be protected
I won’t forget this feeling

When the short summer announces its end
I want to welcome that moment with you
Even on days during which nothing happens
I know that that is more wonderful than anything

The short summer is starting
I want to make many memories with you
The sun is just shining bright
The waves break and retreat on the shore as usual

待ち焦がれていた季節がやって来て
ざわめきだす風 動き出す街並

いつもより朝の訪れが早くて
それだけでうまく歩けるような
そんな気がして

胸を痛める話ばかりが
この頃じゃ溢れてるけど
悲しみの為に楽しむ事
置き去りにしないでいて

短い夏が始まって行く
君といくつの思い出つくろう
太陽はただ光輝き
波はいつも寄せては返してく

ビルの隙間から いびつに尖る空
いつか見た空は 果てなく広かった

心に雲が覆う日も側にいて
穏やかな微笑みくれる事
感謝している

それは当たり前なわけじゃない
でも必然かも知れない
守るべきものが確かにある
この想いを忘れない

短い夏が終わりを告げる
その瞬間も君と迎えよう
なんて事ない毎日こそが
何よりも素敵だって知ってるから

短い夏が始まって行く
君といくつの思い出つくろう

ANGEL’S SONG – ayumi hamasaki

from Memorial address album.

—–

“I have not been left alone”
I persuaded myself as I escaped into the night
In the end, that only served
To carve my own loneliness into each day

Leaving the bustle, on the road home
Everything is as usual, but
Just by wondering if things will always repeat
Tears suddenly well up in my eyes

Helpless and miserable
Anxious and lonely
In a voice that is not a voice, I wished for warmth

Hey, honestly
You suddenly appeared
And shone light into my darkness
And then, you smiled a little
Told me everything was ok with a nod
Took my hand and set off with me
I saw angel’s wings on your back

My wish to become stronger
Was not because I wanted to dull the pain

You helped me, supported me
Accepted me, forgave me
On that day, I found something which I want to protect

Hey, sometimes
You seem to drop all defenses
And throw yourself at me with all you’ve got
That is just totally
Too dazzling, but
I am reluctant to even blink
You have angel’s wings on your back

Hey, honestly
You suddenly appeared
And shone light into my darkness
And then, you smiled a little
Told me everything was ok with a nod
Took my hand and set off with me

Hey, sometimes
You seem to drop all defenses
And throw yourself at me with all you’ve got
That is just totally
Too dazzling, but
I am reluctant to even blink
You have angel’s wings on your back

I wish that you will never become
A sacrifice in these times of sorrow
So in order to let these earnest thoughts reach you
I sing this song again today like a prayer

ひとりぼっちなんかじゃないんだと
夜に逃げ込んで言い聞かせた
結局それは自分の孤独を
日に日に浮き彫りにしてくだけだった

喧騒から離れた帰り道
いつもと何も変わらないのに
繰り返してくのかと思ったら
急に涙が込み上げて来た

頼りなくて情けなくて
不安で淋しくって
声にならない声で温もりを欲しがった

ねぇ君は確かに
突然現われ
私の暗闇に光射した
そして少し笑って
大丈夫だって頷いて
私の手を取って歩きだした
君の背に天使の羽を見た

強くなりたいと願ったのは
痛みに鈍くなる為じゃない

助けられて支えられて
与え合って許し合った
あの日守って行きたいものが出来たから

ねぇ君は時々
無防備すぎるくらい
私に全てでぶつかって来る
それはあまりにも
眩しすぎる程で
私は瞬きさえも惜しむの
君は背に天使の羽を持つ

ねぇ君は確かに

君はどうかならないで欲しい
切なる想いが届くようにと
私は今日も祈るように歌う
