Translation by Violet Lights, with edits by Violet
| Japanese | English |
| 泣いてるの？怒ってるの？ | “Are you crying? Are you mad?” |
| 幼い声が問う | a childish voice asks. |
| 心配いらないよ 笑えてるよ | “Don’t you worry, I’m laughing,” |
| 返事は宙に浮くだけ | my reply simply floats in the air. |
| あの日描いたもの 夢の色 | The things I imagined that day, the color of my dreams |
| しだいに濃くなる | gradually get darker. |
| １人じゃないことも分かってるよ | And I understand that I'm not alone. |
| 横を見ている | I'm looking off to the side. |
| ふと振り返る 遠くなっていく | Casually, I turn my head. I'm growing distant. |
| 分かれ道はまるでジオラマに | The crossroads are entirely like a diorama, |
| 馴染んだ思い出のよう | a memory that I've grown accustomed to. |
| いざなったクローバー この場所を選んで | An invited clover chooses this place, |
| 輝くステージに立っている | and stands on the shining stage. |
| 共に行くあなたの手 掴んだその手が | I'm hoping that the hand that you grasped in your hand |
| 痛くないようにと願っているから | as you walked with me won't hurt. |
| かじかんで かじかんで | I grow numb with cold, I grow numb with cold, |
| その度に暖めて | and each time, warm back up again, |
| 煌めくライトも落ちる影も | since I want to love everything |
| 全て愛していたいから | from the sparkling lights to the falling shadows. |
| 泣かないで 泣かないで | Don’t cry, don’t cry; |
| そのために側にいる | I’m by your side for that sake. |
| 震える指にこの手を添えて | These hands will support your trembling fingers |
| 今 鍵を開けるまで | from now until it's unlocked. |
| やがて背負うもの 託す音 | Eventually, the outlines of the burdens I carry and the sounds I've entrusted you with |
| 輪郭は濃くなる | will darken. |
| 1人じゃないことも分かってるよ | And I understand that I'm not alone. |
| 前を見ている | I'm looking forward. |
| ふと振り返る 見えなくなっていく | Casually, I turn my head. It's getting harder to see it. |
| 分かれ道はまるで | This crossroad |
| 写真立てにしまった記憶のよう | is just like a memory that's been preserved in a photo frame. |
| いざなったクローバー その葉を手に取って | Invited clover, I take its leaves in my hand |
| 新たなステージを待っている | and wait on a new stage. |
| 共に行くあなたの目 見つめたその目の | I'm hoping that the stars in the eyes that your eyes gazed into |
| 星が褪せぬように 願っているから | as you walked with me won't dim. |
| 眩しくて 眩しくて | So dazzling, so dazzling; |
| その先に手を伸ばして | I reach my hand out for what lies ahead, |
| 触れたものも 受けた傷も | since I want to memorize everything |
| 全て憶えていたいから | from the things I touched to the scars I've received. |
| 負けないで 負けないで | Don’t surrender, don’t surrender; |
| そのために側にいる | I’m by your side for that sake. |
| 隔たりの奥 見えない世界まで | A dream that I wish would deliver itself |
| 届いて欲しい夢 | to the unseen world deep in the distance. |
| 泣いてるの？怒ってるの？ | “Are you crying? Are you mad?” |
| 幼い声が問う | a childish voice asks. |
| 心配いらないよ 笑えてるよ | “Don’t you worry, I’m laughing,” |
| 返事を歌にして 届けていく | I reply with this song, reaching it out to you. |
| 今微笑んで 微笑んで | Now, I smile, I smile, |
| 優しさをその頬へ | and put kindness to your cheeks. |
| 煌めくライトも 落ちる影も | since I'm thinking of everything |
| 全て想っていくから | from the sparkling lights to the falling shadows. |
| 乗り越えて その先へ | I overcome it, move beyond it, |
| ただ前へ歩いていく | and just walk forward. |
| 震える指に この手を添えて | These hands will support your trembling fingers |
| 今 鍵を開ける | Now, I’ll unlock with the key. |
| 錆び付いていても | Although it may be rusty, |
| 消えない色で 今 | I'll now open this door |
| ドアを開ける | with its unfading color. |
