沈黙 | Chinmoku | Silent

目をそっと閉じれば　浮かんで来る
やさしいあなたの笑顔
こんなに愛しいのに
手に届かない
その距離が切なくて…

グラスの中のソーダ水をほら
かき混ぜて
小さな泡を逃がすように
この胸の片隅に溶け込んだ
思い出のひとつひとつを逃がしたい

時間の砂がさらさら落ちて
日が暮れて人影少ないこの場所
あの頃によく来た
公園のカフェテラス
ただそばにいるだけでしあわせで…
あなたがいない　その現実に
戸惑った自分がガラスに映る
もう誰かのことをここまでは愛せない
心は俯いたまま
沈黙

ドアが開く度に顔を上げる
あなた　やって来るようで…
「遅くなってごめん」と
頬にキスして
マフラーを取りながら…

コーヒーを飲むあなたの表情
見てるのが
話すことより楽しかった
夢にまで出るような切なさに
言葉など無力なものと知っていた

時間の砂がさらさら落ちて
いくつかの季節が巡った2人は
十字路のどこかで
運命にはぐれて
それぞれが別の道　歩いてる
あなたがいない　私は1人
そう今もそのことに慣れていない
淋しい夕暮れは窓辺の指定席
電話もためらったまま
沈黙

時間は何を教えるのでしょう?
いつの日かきっと忘れるということ?
悲しみのすべてが
色褪せる日が来る
そう楽観的ななぐさめに
あなたがいない　あれからずっと
どんどん思い出してしまうよ
永遠の長さを持て余したように
コーヒー　オーダーして
沈黙

I close my eyes softly and drift away in my thoughts
even though your gentle smile
is very dear to me
I can't reach it with my hands
this distance is painful...

I stir
the fizzy water in the glass
just like I let the little bubbles escape
I want to set free one by one
the feelings that dissolved in the corner of my heart

the sands of time fall smoothly
in this place where not a single shade can be seen when darkness falls
back then we went often
to the terrace cafe
just by being with you I was happy...
the reality that you aren't here anymore
my puzzled self is reflected in the glass
I can't love anyone else
with my heart still looking down
I remain silent

When you opened the door you raised your head
and as you came in,
you said "Sorry I'm late"
kissing me on the cheek
while you took off your muffler

Seeing
your expression while you drink coffee
was a lot more fun than talking
in the sadness that appeared in my dreams
I understood that even words are powerless

the sands of time fall smoothly
as many seasons pass the two of us
are in a crossroad somewhere
separated by fate
each of us walking on a different path
I'm alone because you aren't here
even now, I don't want to that to happen
the lonely twilight is a reserved seat by the window
I'm still hesitating about calling you
silent

I wonder what does time teach us?
someday, without a doubt will it teach me to forget?
a day when all of my sadness
fades away will come
that's an optimistic consolation
ever since you aren't here, I'm always
remembering you a lot
finding the length of eternity unmanageable
I order coffee
and remain silent
