kanji & kana

    テレビのニュースで繰り返し伝えてた
    一発の銃弾が正義 奪ったこと
    平和を叫んだデモ隊の中で倒れた
    勇気あるその人は 何を信じていたのか?

    海の向こうの世界で
    愛が壊れ始めてる
    そこに流れた涙が
    波になり近づく

    僕たちは目撃者
    決して 目を逸らしはしない
    生々しい悲しみと
    隠ぺいされた真実
    僕たちは目撃者
    悲劇を終わりにはしない
    この胸に焼き付けて
    時代の過ち 語り続ける
    生き証人になろう

    古びた教会 俯いた人々が
    灯されたロウソクに祈り捧げている
    我が子を亡くした母親は崩れるように
    声もなく泣きながら 誰を責めているのだろう?

    今日も世界のどこかで
    愛が忘れられてゆく
    遠いかすかな記憶は
    微笑(ほほえみ)とぬくもり

    ちっぽけな目撃者
    取るに足らない存在でも
    目の前の偽りを
    見過ごすわけにゆかない
    ちっぽけな目撃者
    武器を持たない市民でも
    道の上 寝転んで
    愚かな国から自由を守る
    怒りを思い出そう

    僕たちは目撃者
    決して 目を逸らしはしない
    今 起きた出来事を
    誰かにちゃんと伝えよう
    僕たちは目撃者
    悲劇を終わりにはしない
    この痛み 残したい
    歴史の1ページ 破ることなく
    NOと言い続けよう

english translation

    It was told so many times on the TV news
    One single bullet took justice away
    What did that brave person who fell
    Inside the group of demostrators calling out for peace believe in?

    In a world at the other side of the ocean
    Love is starting to crumble
    The tears shed there
    Turn into waves and reach here

    We are eye witnesses
    We never turn our eyes away
    From this raw sadness
    And this concealed truth
    We are eye witnesses
    Burning everything into our memories
    We shall keep talking about the errors of this age
    And become living witness

    An old church, those people looking down
    Raise their prayers to the lit candles
    A mother who has lost her child looks as if she's about to collapse
    As she's crying without even being able to speak, who is she blaming?

    Today, too, somewhere in this world
    Love is being forgotten
    Smiles and human warmth
    Are a distant and feeble memory

    We are insignificant eye witnesses
    But despite being worthless existances
    We just cannot overlook
    The lies in front of our eyes
    We are insignificant eye witnesses
    Even citizens without weapon
    Protect freedom from a foolish injustice
    By lying down on the streets
    Let's remember that anger

    We are eye witnesses
    We never turn our eyes away
    We shall properly tell to someone
    What happened today
    We are eye witnesses
    We cannot put an end to this tragedy
    But we want to bequeath this pain
    Without tearing not even one page of history away
    We shall keep saying NO
