Topi – Light Lag

Romaji:

Sore wa yo no sora ni irokoi saita
Oto wa kata sukume chikoku shite kita
“Deeto no toki no sa, kimi to boku mitai da.”
Hikari to oto kanashii hodo sorowanai futari

Nano ni kimi wa “kirei ne.” to hitogoto
Yokogao someru hanabikari ni boku ga myakuutsu

Narabi warau “Kore mo hanabi da ne.”
Tsurare warau dakishimeta kyori de
Kimi no sono shiroi hada ni hansha suru niji-iro no hikari
Douji ni naru boku no kodou wa maru de…

Hachi-gatsu no yoru no nuru kaze ni nori
Mushi-tachi ga odoru kawara de kisu o
Kimi no te ni tomaru ka o niramitsukete mo
Agatta shinpakusuu wa sagaccha kurenai yo

Oodama ga sora o someageteku tabi
Kawaiku naru kimi no kao to akaku naru boku

Narabi warau “Kore mo hanabi da ne.”
Tsurare warau dakishimeta kyori de
Kimi no sono shiroi hada ni hansha suru niji-iro no hikari
Douji ni naru boku no kodou de uchiageta

Hikari to oto ga kimi to boku ga kasanaru
Ai o utau karutetto
Boku wa kogoe de hanabi-san ni
“Arigatou. Akaku akaku somatta hoo kakushite kurete.”

English:

It bloomed in the night sky, in colors deep and ornate,
But sound shrugged its shoulders, and came in late
“It’s just like you and me, when we had our date.”
Like light and sound, we’re destined to a sad, unequal fate…

And yet you said a single “It’s beautiful,”
To the flowery light that dyed my face, and my heart pounded…

Stand together and laugh; “So these are fireworks, too.”
Take it in and laugh, close enough that I can embrace you
On that brilliant, fair skin of yours is reflected a rainbow of light,
And my heart pulses at just the same pace…

Riding on the hot air of August nights,
The bugs dance by the riverbed, and we kiss
Though I glare at the mosquitos caught in your hand,
It won’t help to lower my quickened heartbeat

Every time that great ball goes up to dye the sky,
Your face turns so charming, and I turn red…

Stand together and laugh; “So these are fireworks, too.”
Take it in and laugh, close enough that I can embrace you
On that brilliant, fair skin of yours is reflected a rainbow of light,
And at the same pace, my pulse launches it up…

Light and sound, you and I, both come together
A quartet, all singing of love
And with a whisper, I tell the fireworks,
“Thank you… for obscuring my red, red cheeks.”

Kanji:

それは夜のそらに色濃く咲いた
音は肩すくめ　遅刻してきた
「デートの時のさ、君と僕みたいだ。」
光と音　哀しいほど揃わない二人

なのに君は「奇麗ね。」と一言
横顔染める花光に　僕が脈打つ

並び笑う　「これも花火だね。」
つられ笑う　抱きしめた距離で
君のその白い肌に　反射する虹色の光
同時に鳴る僕の鼓動はまるで…

８月の夜のぬる風に乗り
虫たちが踊る川原でキスを
君の手にとまる蚊を睨みつけても
上がった心拍数は下がっちゃくれないよ

大玉が空を染め上げてく度
可愛くなる君の顔と　赤くなる僕

並び笑う　「これも花火だね。」
つられ笑う　抱きしめた距離で
君のその白い肌に　反射する虹色の光
同時に鳴る僕の鼓動で打ち上げた

光と音が　君と僕が重なる
愛を唄うカルテット
僕は小声で　花火さんに
「ありがとう。赤く赤く染まった頬隠してくれて。」

Romaji:

Ai or ai erabu yo boku ka anata ka
“Hai, jaa erande yo” sono me de

“Suki” o todoke “suki” o morai
Bokura nandaka shiawase dato

Ai ni notamau maru-san o keshite ageru

Ai or ai erande mo boku mo anata mo

Ai no nai sekai de sa ikite ikitai nara

English:

Love or self, you have to choose – is it I, or is it you?
“Very well, the choice is yours” – and with your glimpse…

Well, “love” is what we give, and “love” is what we get,
So I would have to say, we’re quite a happy set
Our intuitions off, we love each other still
“Ego,” or else, “we go”? Let’s be sure to make this clear…

I’m doing this all for you; “I’m doing this all for me”?
Dare say that about our love, and mister, I’ll have to do away with you…

Love or self? Still if you choose, I and you have naught to lose;
In the end, we’re still just fine to keep on smiling all the time
If this world’s a loveless one, and we’re to keep living on,
Then where it is that you must be, is anywhere but here with me
So then, I wonder – is your choice all up to this:
Are you choosing with your “egoselfishness”?

“Love” is what so captivates us,
Yet this “love” at times leads to loathing
It’s a choice to be made as a pair, but it’s one of us who has to die
Both our selves are selfish still, gasping breathless for some air;
“Who do you think you are?”
“Thanks, it was delectable! ♥”

“I’m doing this all for you, I’m doing this all for me…”
Well, “doing it for us both,” I’m going to hide my face and cry my eyes out…

“Love and self,” this I decide, and so here is my reply:
No one’s murder shall be done; instead, us two shall be as one
“I’m doing this all for you”, “I’m doing this all for me”;
Let us have them be good friends, and hold each other to the end…

“Love and self” – now that we know, I and you are free to go
To smile and laugh, and more than those, we’ll also cry, if so we chose
If this world’s a loveless one, and we’re to keep living on,
There’s nowhere for us two to be, not anywhere that I can see
So then, I wonder – does our choice come down to this:
Does our “egoselfishness” make it exist?

Kanji:

愛 or 愛　選ぶよ　僕かあなたか
「はい、じゃあ選んでよ」　その目で

“好き”を届け　”好き”をもらい
僕らなんだか　幸せだと
勘を違い　愛づお互い
エゴかタコか　はっきりさせましょ

“あなたのため”は　”自分のため”と
愛に宣う　○さんを消してあげる

愛 or 愛　選んでも　僕もあなたも
最後は笑うように　出来てるようだよ
愛のない世界でさ　生きていきたいなら
あなたの居場所はここにはないんだよ
さてその選択は
あなたの「エゴママ」ではないのかな？

“好き”にとろけてたり
“好き”を嫌ってみたり
二人で選んだのに　死んじゃうのは一人
ワガママなまま　喘いでる様
「ねえ何様？」
「はい、ごちそうさま♥」

“あなたのために、自分のために”
「二人のため」が顔を隠して泣いてるよ

「愛と愛」　選んだ僕の答えは
一つを殺さない　二人を一つに
“あなたのため”と　”自分のため”を
仲良くさせてイチャハグさせましょ

「愛と愛」選んだら　僕もあなたも
笑う、それ以上に泣いたり出来るの
愛のない世界でさ　生きていきたいなら
二人の居場所はどこにもないんだよ
さてこの選択は
二人の「エゴママ」で出来てるかな？
