Lyrics

Japanese

Japanese pronunciation

English translation

Tell me this is Not the End

This world is chained

音   も   立てず に

oto mo tatezu ni
Without making a single sound

わたし    を   奪って 行く の

watashi wo ubatte iku  no
it is taking me away

世界   が  少し      ずつ　壊れて     も

sekai ga sukoshi zutsu kowarete mo

Even if the world is collapsing gradually

あの 日 の  約束　      変わらず   ここ に ある よ

ano hi no yakusoku kawarazu koko ni aru yo
the promise of that day still remains in here

When the sky is falling down

My heart just starts to drown

この    夢    の   エピローグ を   教えて

kono yume no epilogue    wo oshiete
please tell me the epilogue of this dream

With my eyes tightly closed

Praying with my fears exposed

この    街     が   わたし   を  孤独     に  する

kono machi ga watashi wo kodoku ni suru
this town makes me lonely

月      の ない 夜   は　冬    の   音  消して

tsuki no nai yoru wa fuyu no oto keshite
On a night without moon, turn off the sound of winter

片隅         の  祈り　真っ白   に   汚して    行く

katasumi no inori masshiro ni yogoshite iku

it will taint the prayer in a corner in white

昨日    まで  あった　あたたか な 気配

kinou made atta     atataka na kehai

Warm atmosphere that were present until yesterday

儚く         散ってく のに　時間(とき) は 止まらない

hakanaku chitteku noni  toki         wa tomaranai

it disappears in vain but the time won't stop

Tell me this is Not the End

This world is chained

音   も   立てず に

oto wo tatezu ni
without making a single sound

わたし    を 奪って  行く の

watashi wo ubatte iku  no
it is taking me away

願い    が 一つ      だけ　叶う   なら

negai ga hitotsu dake kanau nara
if one wish will come true

怖く      ても    守りたい    よ　君    との 優しい     明日   を

kowaku temo  mamoritai yo kimi tono yasashii   asu wo
Even if I feel scared, I want to protect you and sweet tomorrow with you

        

Is everything a lie lie lie　嘘   の よう

                                          uso no you

                                         It seems like a lie

and I cry cry cry　叫んで

                            sakende

                            so I cry

Don't say bye bye bye　この 手 は

                                     kono te wa

                                     this hand is

繋ぎ     合う ため

tsunagi-au tame

meant to hold each other

Is everything a lie lie lie　嘘   の よう

                                          uso no you

                                         It seems like a lie

and I cry cry cry　叫んで

                            sakende

                            so I cry

Don't say bye bye bye　二人  は

                                     futari wa

                                      The two will

この    道    に  迷う

kono michi ni mayou

be lost in this road

Is there something wrong with me？

Or is it the world loosing the key？

会いたいんだ　一人  の   夜   は   長くて

aitainda        hitori no yoru wa nagakute

I wan to see you because a lonely night is too long to bear

二つ     の   小さな　  炎      を  揺らして

futatsu no chiisana honoo wo yurashite
I wish we can use two shaking small flames

照らし  合えた なら　燃える  オレンジ 色  の  空

terashi-aeta   nara moeru orange-iro   no sora
and shine each other  like a burning orange sky

昨日  の   ごめんね   も　明日   の  ありがとう も

kinou no gomenne mo ashita no arigatou mo
"sorry" of yesterday  and "thank you" of tomorrow

いつ の 日 か  燃え  尽き　なくなる   前    に

itsu no hi ka moe-tsuki nakunaru mae ni

before those words were burned and gone someday

 

 

Tell me this is Not the End

This world is chained

音   も   立てず に

oto wo tatezu ni
without making a single sound

わたし    を 奪って  行く の

 kowaku temo  mamoritai yo kimi tono yasashii   asu wo
Even if I feel scared, I want to protect you and sweet tomorrow with you 

 

二つ     の   声　また    闇   に 消えても

futatsu no koe mata yami ni kietemo

Even if two voices disappear into the darkness again

信じよう　あの 日 と　同じ 匂い の

shinjiyou ano hi to   onaji nioi no

Let's believe the same scent from that day

風     が 吹き　響き 合う と

kaze ga fuki hibiki-au to

the wind will blow and resonate

Tell me this is Not the End

This world is chained

音   も   立てず に

oto wo tatezu ni
without making a single sound

わたし    を 奪って  行く の

 watashi wo ubatte iku  no
it is taking me away

 

涙        が  つたう  度　気づくんだ

namida ga tsutau tabi kizukunda
I realize every time tears run down my cheeks

この  世界　変わった と  しても

kono sekai kawatta to shitemo

Even if the world may change

変わらない もの    が ある と

kawaranai mono ga aru to

there will be things that will never change

 

Is everything a lie lie lie　嘘   の よう

                                          uso no you

                                         It seems like a lie

and I cry cry cry　叫んで

この    道    に  迷う

kono michi ni mayou

be lost in this road
