色の褪せた絵の古ぼけたベンチとはにかむ少年
雨ざらしのまま朽ち果てたいつかの希望を掲げよう

蔑むこともなく驕ることもなく花開くヒマワリの
種にもならぬような胸の奥の秘密にささやかな光を

静まり返る夜のミュージアム
忘れられたいつかの君は笑うんだろう

ほら 誰彼となく集まった広場を過ぎるマーチングバンド
今 裸足のまま駆け出した少女にこの曲を捧げよう

静まり返る青いプールの
薄い膜に映る空に飛び込む

開け
心よ
何がやましくて
何故 悩ましいんだ 僕ら

光れ
言葉よ
それが魂だろう
闇を照らしてどこまでも
行け

悲しくなったり
切なくなったり
ため息吐いたり
惨めになったり
いつかは失ういのちを思ったり
それでも僕らは息をしよう

開け
心よ
何がやましくて
何故 悩ましいんだ 僕ら

光れ
言葉よ
それが魂だろう
闇を照らしてどこまでも
行け


There’s a color-faded painting depicting a worn out bench and a shy young man;
A rainstorm is raging on, and they’re there with all of your rusted hopes.

Without disdain, without pride, that barely budding seed of a sunflower,
Lets off a gentle light from within your heart.

A museum falls silent with the coming of night.
And inside there’s a forgotten version of yourself that’s probably laughing aloud.

Look, there’s a marching band passing through the square, made up of no one in particular,
And at the moment, they’re playing this song for a barefoot girl who’s just started running.

A blue pool falls silent with the coming of night,
And she jumps into the sky that’s reflected on its thin surface.

Open up,
Oh, my heart,
What ails you?
Why are we so troubled?

Shine,
Oh, my words,
That must be what the “soul” is.
Let’s light up the darkness,
And see how far we can go.

We become sad…
We become heartbroken…
We let out a sigh…
We become miserable…
We think of the lives we’ll eventually lose…
…but let’s keep on breathing anyway!

Open up,
Oh, my heart,
What ails you?
Why are we so troubled?

Shine,
Oh, my words,
That must be what the “soul” is.
Let’s light up the darkness,
And see how far we can go.
