Japanese

追いかけても 追いかけても するり 指をぬける水のよう
あなただけに あなただけに 見つめられて 漂う星の影
夢でもつかまえて

流れる雲に思う 行き先ないこの心
いつか見た日の明日(あす)も 青い通り雨

色づいた花びら揺らす ぬくもりも激しささえも
せつなさの裏側だけを 残していくだけの刹那

かなうのなら かなうのなら 駆け出してゆきたい 風の中
あなただけを あなただけを 見つめたなら 羽ばたく蝶のように
夢ならみせないで

追いかけても 追いかけても するり 指をぬける水のよう
わたしだけが わたしだけが 時を止めた闇から 手を伸ばす

かなうのなら かなうのなら 駆け出してゆきたい 風の中
あなただけに あなただけに こころ巡らす はるか朧月

嘘でも抱きしめて
夢なら醒めないで

English

Chasing, chasing, it slips like water through my fingers
You just, you just, watched the shadows of the stars drifting through the
Dream catcher

I think that in the clouds, there's no way to get to my heart
Also today, I think I'm going to see, tomorrow, showers of blue

Colored petals also shake and swing, in the intensity of this warmth
I'll just leave in a moment to the other side of the sky

It'll come true if you, it'll come true if you, run into the wind like snow
You can only, you can only, fly like a butterfly if you just look
Into each dream you have...

Chasing, chasing, it slips like water through my fingers
Only I, only I, stopped when reaching through the darkness

It'll come true if you, it'll come true if you, run into the wind like snow
You just, you just, ruminated your heart by the hazy moon of spring

Also, embrace a lie
Do not wake up from your dream!

Long Version

Japanese


追いかけても 追いかけても するり 指をぬける水のよう
あなただけに あなただけに 見つめられて 漂う星の影
夢でもつかまえて

流れる雲に思う 行き先ないこの心
いつか見た日の明日(あす)も 青い通り雨

色づいた花びら揺らす ぬくもりも激しささえも
せつなさの裏側だけを 残していくだけの刹那

かなうのなら かなうのなら 駆け出してゆきたい 風の中
あなただけを あなただけを 見つめたなら 羽ばたく蝶のように
夢ならみせないで

星のない夜(よ)に密か 巡る季節を忘れて
いつかくる日の朝を 隠す涙色

絡む指 艶めく吐息 昇りつめ 堕ちゆく心
ひと時のぬくもりさえも 忘れられずにまた孤独(ひとり)

追いかけたら 追いかけたら ふわり消えてしまう 月の影
わたしだけに わたしだけに 触れられたら 煌く星のように
嘘なら抱きしめて

届くのなら 届くのなら 明日さえ要らない 戻らない
離れてても 離れてても 心焦がす炎は あなただけ

追いかけても 追いかけても するり 指をぬける水のよう
わたしだけが わたしだけが 時を止めた闇から 手を伸ばす

かなうのなら かなうのなら 駆け出してゆきたい 風の中
あなただけに あなただけに こころ巡らす はるか朧月

嘘でも抱きしめて
夢なら醒めないで

Chasing, chasing, it slips like water through my fingers
You just, you just, watched the shadows of the stars drifting through the
Dream catcher

I think that in the clouds, there's no way to get to my heart
Also today, I think I'm going to see, tomorrow, showers of blue

Colored petals also shake and swing, in the intensity of this warmth
I'll just leave in a moment to the other side of the sky

It'll come true if you, it'll come true if you, run into the wind like snow
You can only, you can only, fly like a butterfly if you just look
Into each dream you have...

On a night without stars, secretly forget the changing seasons
And when the morning comes, hide your colored tears

I sighed while moisturizing my fingers, as our hearts rose and fell
I enjoyed the warmth, and can't forget about my loneliness

When you chase, when you chase, shadows will disappear softly
Simply I, simply I, know it's a tight lie when you touch the glittering stars

Reaching, reaching - no, tomorrow does not return
Even when I'm away, even when I'm away, mind the flames before they burn you

Chasing, chasing, it slips like water through my fingers
Only I, only I, stopped when reaching through the darkness

It'll come true if you, it'll come true if you, run into the wind like snow
You just, you just, ruminated your heart by the hazy moon of spring

Also, embrace a lie
Do not wake up from your dream!
