Japanese

聞こえるなら　手を伸ばして
凍てつく空　青く染まるまで
Ah

途切れてく景色 何度でもつむぐように
白い息の中で目を覚ます
感情が今震える

聞こえるなら　手を伸ばして
凍える夢　見えないから
壊れるまで　目をふさいで
記憶の糸　今はたどるだけ
Ah Ah ただ…

聞こえるなら　手を伸ばして
凍える夢　見えないから
壊れるまで　目をふさいで
記憶の糸　今はたどるだけ

Ah

togireteku keshiki nando demo tsuyoku koko ni
shiroi iki no naka de me wo samasu

kikoeru nara te wo nobashite

Ah Ah tada...

English

If you can hear me reach out
Until the frozen sky turns blue
Ah

As if the discontinuous scenery continues over and over again
Wake up in a white breath
Emotions tremble now

If you can hear me reach out
I can't see a frozen dream
Until it breaks cover your eyes
The thread of memory now just follows
Ah Ah just...

If you can hear me reach out
I can't see a frozen dream
Until it breaks cover your eyes
The thread of memory now just follows

Long Version

Japanese

For all the dreamers, what can I say to you…? To find the way, the wish, listen the fantastic song. 途切れてく景色… 何度でも強く、ここに吹き付ける風は …「悲しみ」を積もらせる。 白い息の中で目を覚ます。 何かを失ったままで… …「痛み」を伴うこの温度に…心が今、震える。 聴こえるなら、手を伸ばして。 凍える夢、見えないから。 壊れるまで、目を塞いで。 …記憶の糸、今は辿るだけ… 静寂の中で、胸にひびくその旋律は、 『幻想』と呼ばれ。 …誰かの心へ、語り継がれゆく… 罪も知らず、無垢な結晶は 凍えた世界におりたち 穢れなき色へと 塗りつぶす …この「思考」も、「感情」も。 その視界が、奪われたら。 忘れた唄、思い出して。 人はいつか、笑えるだろう。 …この世界が「痛み」に染まっても… We're the dreamers, what are you looking for…? Therefore are loneliness, sometime, around the world…? For all the dreamers, what can I say to you…? To find the way, the wish, listen the fantastic song. …優しく、切なく。 「その少女」は、歌い上げた。 聴こえるなら、手を伸ばして。 凍えた夢、忘れぬよに。 きみもいつか、笑えるだろう。 …その世界が「痛み」に染まっても…
