エメラルド Lyrics English Translation by Tatsuya Kitani
You were like a megaphone to me
You turned the words that should’ve faded away in this room into a song
You were an emerald that burst right in front of me
You took my hand and led me toward a world that isn’t here
My heart skipped like it was the start of a story
I felt like I could change anything
Hold me up again
I still can’t sing as well as you
But even without you here, I can at least wipe my own tears
Even if it’s a childish imagination, even if it’s a clumsy outline
I’ve learned to draw it with my own hands
It’s the future I reached because you guided me
You were like a water mirror to me
You reflected everything about me, even the parts I turned my back on
You were the spring breeze that brushed my cheek
A little heavy and sticky, you taught me the shape I take on
(Ha, ha-ah)
(Ha-ah)
Like lighting up the darkness
Loud and free, a bundle of poems is ringing out
Every single one of the countless shattered pieces
Is someone’s song that looks like me
I still can’t sing as well as you
But even without you here, I can at least wipe my own tears
Even if it’s a childish imagination, even if it’s a clumsy outline
I’ve learned to draw it with my own hands
My own version of me
Surely today, tomorrow, and the day after (Ha-ah)
I can only light up the darkness in front of me a little at a time (La-la-la-la-la)
Even so, I can walk
I always have, and I always will
With a faint breeze at my back
It’s the future I reached with you seeing me off
(Ha-ah)
My heart skipped like it was the start of a story
I felt like I could change anything
Together with the fragments of emerald
