Romanji

ガラス玉ひとつ 落とされた 追いかけてもうひとつ落っこちた
ひとつ分の陽だまりに ひとつだけ残ってる

心臓が始まった時 嫌でも人は場所を取る
奪われない様に 守り続けてる

汚さずに保ってきた手でも 汚れて見えた
記憶を疑う前に 記憶に疑われてる

必ず僕らは出会うだろう 同じ鼓動の音を目印にして
ここに居るよ いつだって呼んでるから
くたびれた理由が 重なって揺れる時
生まれた意味を知る

存在が続く限り 仕方無いから場所を取る
ひとつ分の陽だまりに ふたつはちょっと入れない

ガラス玉ひとつ 落とされた 落ちた時 何か弾き出した
奪い取った場所で 光を浴びた

数えた足跡など 気付けば数字でしか無い
知らなきゃいけない事は どうやら1と0の間

初めて僕らは出会うだろう 同じ悲鳴の旗を目印にして
忘れないで いつだって呼んでるから
重ねた理由を二人で埋める時
約束が交わされる

鏡なんだ 僕ら互いに
それぞれのカルマを 映す為の
汚れた手と手で 触り合って
形が解る

ここに居るよ 確かに触れるよ
一人分の陽だまりに 僕らは居る

忘れないで いつだって呼んでるから
同じガラス玉の内側の方から
そうさ 必ず僕らは出会うだろう
沈めた理由に十字架を建てる時
約束は果たされる
僕らはひとつになる

English translation

A single glass marble fell, followed by another
In a patch of sunshine made for one, only one remains

When a person's heart starts beating, 
they assume a place, even if they don't want to
and they stay to protect that place, so no one takes it away

Even hands that you've kept clean will appear dirty
before you have a chance to doubt your memory
your memory will doubt you

I'm certain we'll meet one another,
our hearts which beat the same and will mark the way
'cause I'm right here, always calling out to you
When all the old reasons start to lose their ground
I'll know the meaning of my birth

As long as you exist, you have no choice but to assume a place,
two can't really fit into a patch of sunshine made for one. 

A single glass marble fell, and when it fell something was shot out
in the place I took over, I basked in the sun

I counted the footprints I left, 
and found they were nothing more than numbers
What I really needed to know may be between 1 and 0. 

We'll meet for the first time
our same sad cries to lead us
Don't forget, 'cause I'll never stop calling out to you
When we bury the reasons together
it makes a promise between us

It's a mirror for each of us
to project our own karma
feeling each other with dirtied hands
we'll figure out the shape

I'm right here. You can feel me. 
We're standing together in a patch of sunshine made for one. 

Don't forget, cause I'll never stop calling out to you
from within a marble, identical to yours 
that's right, I'm certain we'll meet each other
when we raise the cross for the reasons we buried.
We will finish the promise
And become one.
