The Japanese Lyrics of 'Re:Tryment' from 'Re:LieF ~Dear You~'
消せない過去を 抱(だ)いたまま歩いた
Kesenai kako o daita mama aruita
今もまだ置き忘れたまま それが正しいと決めつけるように 自分に言い聞かせた
Ima mo mada okiwasureta mama sore ga tadashii to kimetsukeru you ni jibun ni iiikikaseta
息をする度に 胸の奥に刺さる孤独 その痛みに気づいた
Iki o suru tabi ni mune no oku ni sasaru kodoku sono itami ni kidzuita
ボクは何を知って キミと何を知って 今 走り出すココロは 淡(あわ)く揺れてる この気持ちの名前は もう分かっているから
Boku wa nani o shitte kimi to nani o shitte ima hashiridasu kokoro wa awaku yureteru kono kimochi no namae wa mou wakatte iru kara
瞳の奥に 隠した何か 言葉を交(か)わしていくほど 確かめたくなる そのココロの奥 振り向くキミを見てた
Hitomi no oku ni kakushita nanika kotoba o kawashite iku hodo tashikametakunaru sono kokoro no oku furimuku kimi o miteta
キミと触れる度 重ねあうよう 響きあうよう その意味に気づいた
Kimi to fureru tabi kasaneau you hibikiau you sono imi ni kidzuita
ボクはキミを知って キミと過去を歩いて 今何が出来るのだろう あの日の想いも 言いかけた言葉も もう分かっていたから
Boku wa kimi o shitte kimi to kako o aruite ima nani ga dekiru no darou ano hi no omoi mo iikaketa kotoba mo mou wakatte ita kara
ボクは何を知って キミと何を知って 今 走り出すココロは 淡(あわ)く揺れてる この気持ちの名前は もう分かっているから
Boku wa nani o shitte kimi to nani o shitte ima hashiridasu kokoro wa awaku yureteru kono kimochi no namae wa mou wakatte iru kara
ボクは愛を知って キミと愛を知って 今 動き出す心は 悲しみ喜び そのすべてを抱きしめ 今進んでいけるから
Boku wa ai o shitte kimi to ai o shitte ima ugokidasu kokoro wa kanashimi yorokobi sono subete o dakishime ima susundeikeru kara
歩くように 数えるように 今綴るこの気持ちを 遠く キミへ
Aruku you ni kazoeru you ni ima tsuzuru kono kimochi o tooku kimi e
The English Translation of 'Re:Tryment' from 'Re:LieF ~Dear You~'
Here is the English translation of the lyrics:
Walking while embracing an unerasable past
Even now, I still leave it behind, as if deciding that it's the right thing, convincing myself
Every breath brings a loneliness piercing deep into my chest; I noticed that pain
What do I know, and what do I know about you? Now, the heart that starts running is gently swaying; I already know the name of this feeling
Something hidden deep in the eyes, the more we exchange words, the more I want to confirm it, looking at you turning around in the depths of that heart
Each time I touch you, as if overlapping, as if resonating, I realized the meaning of that
I know you, I walked with you in the past; what can I do now? The feelings of that day, the words I almost said, I already understand
What do I know, and what do I know about you? Now, the heart that starts running is gently swaying; I already know the name of this feeling
I know love, I know love with you; now, the heart that starts moving can embrace all the sadness and joy and move forward
Like walking, like counting, I now spell out these feelings to you in the distance
