The End of River

The End of River

The End of River

We don’t need words anymore
もうぼくたちにことばなどいらない
mou bokutachi ni kotoba nado iranai
As you sleep close to my heart, the breeze announces dawn
むねによりそってねむるきみかぜはよあけをつげる
mune ni yorisotte nemuru kimi kaze wa yoake o tsugeru

You’re a shining droplet, a river collected
きみはひかるしずくあつめたリヴァー
kimi wa hikaru shizuku atsumeta rivaa
Sparkling and dancing, heading towards the sea
きらめいておどりながらうみへむかう
kirameite odori nagara umi e mukau

I embrace your flow
ぼくはきみのながれを
boku wa kimi no nagare o
As the ocean expands
だきしめひろがるうみさ
dakishime hirogaru umi sa
Finally, I’ve reached you, my love
やっといまたどりつくあいに
yatto ima tadoritsuku ai ni

The gentle current is fast but cold
わかいながれははやいけどつめたい
wakai nagare wa hayaikedo tsumetai
It hits the rocks, catching the rain
いわにきずついてあめをうけ
iwa ni kizutsuite ame o uke
The river starts to slow down
かわはゆるやかになる
kawa wa yuruyaka ni naru

No matter what happens on this long journey
ながいたびのあいだなにがあっても
nagai tabi no aida nani ga atte mo
As long as you shine in this moment, that’s all that matters
いまのきみがかがやいていればいいさ
ima no kimi ga kagayaite ireba ii sa

The sea wraps everything up
うみはすべてつつんで
umi wa subete tsutsunde
The waves take flight
みなもでとりははばたく
minamo de tori wa habataku
Waiting for this destined moment
きめられたこのときをまって
kimerareta kono toki o matte

Gently waking, your
かすかにめざめたきみの
kasuka ni mezameta kimi no
Tears blur your cheeks
なみだでにじんだほほに
namida de nijinda hoho ni
I softly kiss you now, with warmth
そっといまくちづけるあつく
sotto ima kuchidzukeru atsuku

I embrace your flow
ぼくはきみのながれを
boku wa kimi no nagare o
As the ocean expands.
うけとめひろがるうみさ
uketome hirogaru umi sa
