Deep River
点と点をつなぐように
線を描く指がなぞるのは
私の来た道それとも行き先

線と線を結ぶ二人
やがてみんな海に辿り着き ひとつになるから
怖くないけれど

いくつもの河を流れ
わけも聞かずに
与えられた名前とともに
全てを受け入れるなんて
しなくていいよ
私たちの痛みが今 飛び立った

剣と剣がぶつかり合う音を
知る為に託された剣じゃないよ
そんな矛盾で誰を守れるの

何度も姿を変えて
私の前に舞い降りたあなたを
今日は探してる
どこでも受け入れられようと
しないでいいよ
自分らしさというツルギを皆授かった

時には流れを変えて
何も持たずに
与えられた名前とともに
全てを受け入れるなんて
しなくていいよ
潮風に向かい鳥たちが今飛び立った
Deep River
Ten to ten wo tsunagu you ni
Sen wo egaku yubi ga nazoru no wa
Watashi no kita michi sore tomo ikisaki

Sen to sen wo manabu futari
Yagate minna umi ni tadoritsuki   hitotsu ni naru kara
Kowakunai keredo

Ikutsumo no kawa wo nagare
Wake mo kikazu ni
Ataerareta namae to tomo ni
Subete wo ukeireru nante

Watashitachi no itami ga ima   tobitatta

Ken to ken ga butsukariau oto wo
Shiru tame ni takusareta ken ja nai yo
Sonna mujun de dare wo mamoreru no

Nandomo sugata wo kaete
Watashi no mae ni maiorita anata wo
Kyou wa sagashiteru
Dokodemo ukeirerareyou to

Jibun rashisa to iu tsurugi wo minna sazukatta

Toki ni wa nagare wo kaete

Deep River
What the finger drawing a line
Connecting two points is tracing
Is the road I followed here or the one I'm going to follow.

The couples bound by two lines
All eventually reach the sea and become one,
So I'm not scared, but. . .

We're lost in the flow of many rivers,
Without asking why,
It's okay if you don't
Accept everything
Along with the name you were given.
Our pain just took flight.

This is not a sword you trust
Merely to hear the sound of two swords clashing.
Who are you going to protect with that hypocrisy?

Today, I'm searching for
The you who has changed forms so many times,
And alighted in front of me.
You don't have to accept
Just anywhere,
Everyone receives a blade called being yourself.

In time the flow changes,
Without possessing anything,
It's okay if you don't
Accept everything
Along with the name you were given.
As I faced the sea breeze the birds took flight.
