夜永唄 Yonaga uta

神はサイコロを振らない Kami wa saikoro wo furanai

Originally released as one of the songs in the mini-alubum, "ラムダに対する見解　（Lambda ni taisuru kenkai), Views on Lambda) in May 2019, this song was also released as "First-take" channel (YouTube channel that features artist's first-take recording music video) in August 2020.

The band's name, 神はサイコロを振らない（Kami wa saikoro wo furanai, God doesn't play dice) originates from a famous quote of Albert Einstein, "God does not play dice with the universe."

As unique as the band's name, their music caught my attention. The first phrase refrains in my mind over and over again. It has addictive charm.

どうして心ごと奪われてでもまだ

doushite kokoro goto ubawarete demo mada

Why? I was stolen my whole heart but still

冷たいあなたを抱き寄せたいよ

tsumetai anata wo daki-yosetai yo

I want to hold you close to me even if you remain cold

金木犀の香りが薄れてゆくように

kinmokusei no kaori ga usurete yuku youni
As the scent of fragrant olive is fading

秋が終わり消えていったあなた

aki ga owari kiete itta anata

you are disappearing as the autumn ends

こうして心ごと閉じ込めて

koushite kokoro goto toji-komete
As I lock up my whole heart

あなたが弱り切った僕から離れないように

anata ga yowari kitta boku kara hanarenai youni
so that you won't leave me in such a weakened state

沈黙さえも二人を繋ぎ止めていた

chinmoku sae mo futari wo tsunagi-tomete ita
Even the silence kept us united

時を止めてこのまま

toki wo tomete konomama

Stop the time and stay forever

あなたに逢えば二人はもう

anata ni aeba futari wa mou
If I see you the two will be no longer

友達に戻れないと分かっていた

tomodachi ni modorenai to wakatte ita
able to return to friends I knew

瞳に映る全てを幻にして

hitomi ni utsuru subete wo maboroshi ni shite
Turning everything eyes show into milage

夢の中漂いながら分かっていたんだ

yume no naka tadayoi nagara wakatte itanda
I knew as I float in a dream

独りよがりの愛と

hitori-yogari no ai wo

it was a one-sided love

こうして心ごと閉じ込めて

koushite kokoro goto toji-komete
As I lock up my whole heart

あなたが弱り切った僕から離れないように

anata ga yowari kitta boku kara hanarenai youni
so that you won't leave me in such a weakened state

沈黙さえも二人を繋ぎ止めていた

chinmoku sae mo futari wo tsunagi-tomete ita
Even the silence kept us united

時を止めてこのまま溶け合う

toki wo tomete konomama toke-au

Stop the time and blend together like this

この目や耳や鼻や口や身体中の五感

kono me ya mimi ya hana ya kuchi ya karada-jyu no gokan
This eyes, ear, nose, mouth and five senses in my body

全てはあなたの為にあるように

subete wa anata no tame ni aru youni
As if everything is here for you

独り善がりの口づけを朝までした事を

hitori-yogari no kuchizuke wo asa made shita koto wo
I made one-sided kisses until the morning

今でもまだ痛いほど鮮明に覚えてる

ima demo mada itai hodo senmei ni oboeteru

I remember it so clearly that it still hurts me

花びらに似た指先を

hanabira ni nita yubisaki wo
Your finger tips that look like flower petals

静かに撫でながら過ごした夜が

shizukani nade nagara sugoshita yoru ga
I spent the night rubbing them quietly

また繰り返されてゆく

mata kuri-kae sarete yuku
It keeps returning to my mind

何度願っても触れる事さえ叶わない

nando negattemo fureru koto sae kanawanai
No matter how hard I wish, I can't even touch you

枯れ果てたはずの涙がまた零れて

kare-hateta hazu no namida ga mata afurete
Tears that I thought dried up already still overflow
