The Rain Leaves a Scar

Sore wa hakanaku moetsukita hanataba
Tsumetai honou ni shioreta yoru
Itoshii hito yo
Boku wa doko ni iru no
Yodomi ni ooware
Nukedasenai keredo

                                         It was a short-burning bouquet
                                         A wilted night in the cold flames 
                                         My beloved
                                         Where have I gotten to?
                                         Hidden in hesitation
                                         I still can't slip away

Ano yurameku kagayaki ni
Anata wo kanjite iru
                                         I feel you
                                         In that flickering glow

Mezameta asa ni yamu koto wo wasureta
Atatakana ame ga furisosogu
Sore wa yasashiku zawameki kesu keredo
Kono boku dake naze
Arainagasenai no ka?
                                         I forgot to stop at the reawakened
                                           morning
                                         The warm rain pours down
                                         It gently stills the clamor
                                         But why can I alone
                                         Not be washed clean?

Aa, yurameku kagayaki ni
Anata wo kanjite ita no ni
                                         Even though I felt you
                                         In that flickering glow

Kono te no hira kara koboreta
(Sore wa hakanaku)
Anata ga mienaku naru
(Itoshii hito yo)
Koe ga fusagarete yuku
Nanimo sakebenai
Hitogomi ni umore
                                         It spills from the palm of my hand
                                         (So fleeting...)
                                         You're fading from sight
                                         (Beloved one...)
                                         My voice is failing
                                         I can't cry out
                                         Buried in the crowd
Tell me where I am now
Why can't I get out here?
Why can't I get out here?

Aa, yurameku kagayaki ni
Anata wo kanjite ita no ni
Mou tsunagitomerarenai
Subete wa awaku yurete
                                         Even though I felt you
                                         In that flickering glow
                                         I can't hold on any longer
                                         Everything is fading out

Kono te no hira kara koboreta
(Sore wa hakanaku)
Anata ga mienaku naru
(Itoshii hito yo)
Nukedasu sube wo shirazu ni
(Sore wa hakanaku)
Sayonara sae mo ienai
(Moetsuki hanataba)
                                         It spills from the palm of my hand
                                         (So fleeting...)
                                         You're fading from sight
                                         (My beloved one...)
                                         I don't know how to break free
                                         (Fleeting...)
                                         I can't even say goodbye
                                         (A burning boquet...)
Koe ga fusagarete iku
Nanimo sakebenai
Hitogomi ni umore
                                         My voice is failing
                                         I can't cry out
                                         Buried in the crowd

Tell me
where I am now?
