三つ編みの君へ | Mittsu ami no kimi e | To You, with Your Braided Hair

緑の草原を
そよ風が通り過ぎて
僕らは春を見つけた
切り株のベンチで
卒業後に何をするか
いっぱい夢を語った

三つ編みのその髪を
無意識に指でほどいていたのは
大人へのステップ

恋とわかってても
言い出せなくて
青春時代は
静かに過ぎてく
こんなに近くに
君がいる日々を
いつの日か思い出して
後悔をするだろう

小さな湖の
その畔歩いてたら
どこかでうぐいすの声
胸の奥がふいに
チクリと痛かったのは
切ない季節だから

少しだけ距離置いて
折れそうな君の背中を見ながら
守りたくなった

恋と気づかずに
友達でいた
僕らの関係は
日溜まりみたいで
やさしい微笑み
眼差しの中に
ほっとするぬくもりとか
感じていたのだろう

恋とわかってても
言い出せなくて
青春時代は
静かに過ぎてく
こんなに近くに
君がいる日々を
いつの日か思い出して
後悔をするだろう

できるなら　最後くらいは
自分の気持ちを伝えたいけれど
僕らはこのまま　そっと見つめ合って
黄昏に包まれながら
思い出になろう
永遠のシルエット

The gentle breeze passes through
The green meadows
We've discovered the spring
Sitting on a tree-stump bench
We talked of our overflowing dreams
And about what we'd do after graduating

My unconsciously taking your hair
Out of its braids
Was my first step toward adulthood

Even if I understood love
I couldn't speak of it back then
We quietly passed through
The youth of our lives
And sometimes I remember
The days you were here
Nearby like this
And feel regret

When we walked
On the bank of the little lake
The warbling of the nightingale somewhere
Suddenly prickling and paining my heart
Was because it was the season for heartbreak

As I looked at your seemingly-broken back
At just a little distance away
I wanted to keep you safe

We were friends
Who didn't realize our love
Our relationship
Was like a sunny spot
In a gentle smile
I felt
The warmth that relieves me
In your gaze

Even if I understood love
I couldn't speak of it back then
We quietly passed through
The youth of our lives
And sometimes I remember
The days you were here
Nearby like this
And feel regret

If it's possible, I want to convey
My feelings to you till the end, but
As we embrace the twilight
That we're still quietly looking at
My memories
Create an eternal silhouette
