English translation
I want to fly out
from this terminal
to the station floating in mid-air
The message shaped in your form
Sugar crystals, a cloudy sun
I looked up at the silhouette of your face
Oh, darling, darling Let’s
escape from this forest of confusion
Seeped in broken hearts
Even if I awaken, even in
this soft rain, I feel this warm pain
Gathering at this terminal
Spheres of the same kind
become transparent
The message contained in a diamond [1]
I was born again
and looked up at the same universe
Oh, darling, darling I’m
always near you, nestling close
Remembering the song that we lost
Please, let my words reach you
Softly awaken your sleeping consciousness
Then, in your chest, I
become your heart
Filling your dreams with flowers of every color (I looked up into the light)
Oh, darling, darling Let’s
escape from this forest of confusion
Seeped in broken hearts
A gently melting sun
Remembering the melody that we lost
Even if I awaken, the soft
words will reach you
Even in the rain, the words remain warm
Japanese
ターミナル ここから
空中のステション
飛んで行きたいの
あなたの形のメッセージ
氷砂糖 曇りの太陽
横顔 見上げた
Oh, darling, darling ふたりは
迷いの森 駆け抜ける
壊れた心浸されてく
もう覚めてもやわらかな
雨でもあたたかな痛み
ターミナル 集まる
共通のスフィアが
透明に変わる
ダイヤの形のメッセージ
もう一度生まれて
おんなじ宇宙を見上げた
Oh, darling, darling いつでも
寄り添うようにそばにいる
無くした歌を思い出してる
ねぇ、言葉を届けてよ
眠る意識をそっと開く
そしてあなたの胸で私は
心臓になっていって
その夢を七色の花で満たすの(光を見上げた)
Oh, darling, darling ふたりは
迷いの森 駆け抜ける
壊れた心浸されてく
甘く溶ける太陽
無くした歌を思い出して
もう覚めてもやわらかな
言葉を届けてよ
雨でもあたたかな 言葉
=================
[1] DAIYA. possible meanings: (1) time table/schedule. (2) diamond.
I’m not sure if the tone or nuance of the shorted form of diamond (“DAIYA” from DAIYAMONDO) would make sense in this context. But this verse makes more sense speaking of diamonds, because the previous verse mentioned sugar crystals, than time tables or schedules.
