カーマイン (Carmine) Lyrics in Japanese
[ELLEGARDEN「カーマイン」歌詞]
[Verse 1]
手に取って 爪を立てた
その未来は
滲む色に 霞んで見えた
夏の色も塗りつぶすような赤に
僕らの声 かき消されていくようで
[Chorus]
立ち止まるその足を踏み出そうぜ
見せかけの嘘 やり過ごすより
何度目の朝 誓いと引き換えるよ
僕らが見ていた夢
[Verse 2]
透き通って ヒビの割れた
この願いは
君の色に よく似ていた
夏の夜の抱きしめるような風に
かすかな声 彷徨い続けてるようで
[Chorus]
立ち止まるその足を踏み出そうぜ
見せかけの嘘 やり過ごすより
何度目の朝 誓いと引き換えるよ
僕らが見ていた夢
[Bridge]
地平線の向こうに
錆びていく空
眺めて
[Chorus]
立ち止まるその足を踏み出そうぜ
残された今 咲き誇るように
何度目の朝 誓いと引き換えるよ
僕らが見ていた夢
カーマイン (Carmine) Lyrics in English
[Verse 1]
I Took It In My Hand And Dug My Nails In
That Future
Blurred Into Colors, Fading From Sight
In A Red That Paints Over Even The Colors Of Summer
It Felt Like Our Voices Were Being Erased
[Chorus]
Let’s Step Forward With Those Feet That Stopped
Rather Than Just Passing By Fake Lies
For The Countless Mornings, I’ll Trade Them For Oaths
For The Dream We Once Saw
[Verse 2]
Transparent, Yet Cracked With Fractures
This Wish
Looked So Much Like Your Colors
In The Summer Night’s Embrace-Like Breeze
A Faint Voice Seemed To Keep Wandering On
[Chorus]
Let’s Step Forward With Those Feet That Stopped
Rather Than Just Passing By Fake Lies
For The Countless Mornings, I’ll Trade Them For Oaths
For The Dream We Once Saw
[Bridge]
Beyond The Horizon
The Sky Rusts Away
As I Gaze At It
[Chorus]
Let’s Step Forward With Those Feet That Stopped
With The Remaining Now, Bloom Proudly
For The Countless Mornings, I’ll Trade Them For Oaths
For The Dream We Once Saw
