優しい彗星 [Yasashii suisei] [English translation]

Now in the quiet night

I drove my car without a plan

Right to my left

The moon lighted up your profile

If you’re out to connect your words

As you look into your past and follow the road

The memories of those days are flooding in

With no rhyme or reason

Since I decided to live beside you

The world has begun to change little by little

In the days I’ve pretended that I’m strong

Just like hiding all my weaknesses away

Your look that one day showed up all of a sudden

Told me what I never knew

If there’s something for me to protect

Just with that, I’ll be able to grow stronger

In the deep dark

We met and lived together

Incomparable days

They felt great

Or they were my bliss

Because you know

It was you saved my day

You saved my day

What twinkled in a subtle ray of light

Tears just like a shooting star

Flowed from an awkward life, streaming down my face

Beautiful tears

Kindness hidden in your big and tough body

That somewhat pained face of yours

I know they’re lovable

It’s not about what form they take

Finally I understand

The gunshot, mercilessly echoing, tears the night apart

And a breath of parting is coming at me

As a ruthless meteor ephemerally shined

My prayer vanished, never to reach you

The kind golden comet

That burned to ashes in my hands

I grasped at its graceful mane

In the middle of darkness
