Ruby No Yubiwa

Ruby Ring

Ruby No Yubiwa

Beyond the cloudy glass is a windy town
くもりガラスのむこうは風の街
kumori garasu no mukou wa kaze no machi
The story of passing hearts is painful
とわずがたりの心がせつないね
towazugatari no kokoro ga setsunai ne
His life is weightless
かれはひとつのおもさもないいのち
kareha hitotsu no omo-sa mo nai inochi
After losing you
あなたをうしなってから
anata o ushinatte kara

Curling up his back
せなかをまるめながら
senaka o marume nagara
He took off the ring on his finger
ゆびのリングぬきとったね
yubi no ringu nukitotta ne
If you intend to return it to me
おれにかえすつもりならば
ore ni kaesu tsumori naraba
Then throw it away
すててくれ
sutete kure

Yes, if it's a birthstone, it's a ruby
そうねたんじょうせきならルビーなの
sou ne tanjou sekinara rubii na no
Such words swirl in my head
そんなことばがあたまにうずまくよ
son'na kotoba ga atama ni uzumaku yo
That was the illusion of a close love
あれははちがつまばゆいひのなかで
are wa hachigatsu mabayui hi no naka de
In the dazzling sun of August
ちかったあいのまぼろし
chikatta ai no maboroshi

I like solitude
こどくがすきなおれさ
kodoku ga sukina ore sa
You can go without worrying about me
きにしないでいっていいよ
ki ni shinai de itte ii yo
Quickly, before my feelings change
きがかわらぬうちにはやく
ki ga kawaranu uchi ni hayaku
Disappear
きえてくれ
kiete kure

Beyond the cloudy glass is a windy town
くもりガラスのむこうは風の街
kumori garasu no mukou wa kaze no machi
On a table with cold coffee left
さめたこうちゃがのこったテーブルで
sameta koucha ga nokotta teeburu de
I watched you blend in with the evening crowd
えりをあわせてひぐれのひとなみに
eri o awasete higure no hitonami ni
Matching collars
まぎれるあなたをみてた
magireru anata o mi teta

And two years later, the days flow by
そしてにねんのつきひがながれさり
soshite ni-nen no tsuki hi ga nagare sari
When I see a beige coat in town
まちでベージュのコートをみかけると
machi de beeju no kooto o mikakeru to
I search for a ruby ring on my finger
ゆびにルビーのリングをさがすのさ
yubi ni rubii no ringu o sagasu no sa
After losing you
あなたをうしなってから
anata o ushinatte kara
