青葉 Lyrics English Translation by imase
The curtains billowed out
Drawn by the wind, sunlight came pouring in
I’m awake now, the world’s getting up too
Even the stars that keep fading
In the half-light
Look like they’re still dragging yesterday along
Slipping through the exit
Of the night that barely remains
If only I could stay right here
The junk I held close
Grows brighter and disappears
Dawn breaks wide open
Dyeing everything
The blue is bleeding through
At daybreak
At daybreak
At daybreak
The blue bleeds through
At daybreak
At daybreak
At daybreak
It bleeds through
A sadness lighter than sorrow
A joy lighter than sadness
Always overlapping, layering up
Just like hanging clouds
These swirling emotions
Won’t let themselves be blown away
So the morning never comes
Seamlessly
I spread the clouds and fight back
What’s right in front of me
What I can see
Right now it’s transparent memory
Like the sea
Like the sky
The farther away, the bluer it gets
Always lost on
I hold it but it slips right through
Always lost on
It goes translucent in the light
Always lost on
Beginnings and endings
Are always blue
The sun rises and lights up the days
The junk I held close
Grows brighter and disappears
Dawn breaks wide open
Dyeing everything
The blue is bleeding through
At daybreak
At daybreak
At daybreak
The blue bleeds through
At daybreak
At daybreak
At daybreak
It bleeds through
