いつからこの場所で泣いていたのか 忘れてしまって 涙の理由さえ枯れてしまうまで 一人で隠れていたいの |
itsu kara kono basho de naiteita no ka wasureteshimatte namida no riyuu sae kareteshimau made hitori de kakureteitai no |
I have entirely forgotten how long I have been been crying in this place I want to stay hidden until the reason for my tears withers away |
|
風が呼ぶけど 応えはなくて 空は哀しく一人きり 愛したことも 砂の脆さに 消えて |
kaze ga yobu kedo kotae wa nakute sora wa kanashiku hitorikiri aishita koto mo suna no morosa ni kiete |
Although the wind calls out to me I have no answer to give to it the sky is sorrowful when alone the things i loved disappear into the brittleness of the sand |
|
もう貴方が何処にも見えない 雲は旅を誘うけど いつか一人で飛び立つ時まで 私は空を失くして 眠るいそしぎ |
mou anata ga doko ni mo mienai kumo wa tabi wo sasou kedo itsuka hitori de tobitatsu toki made watashi wa sora wo nakushite nemuru isoshigi |
I can’t see you anywhere anymore though the clouds lure me on a journey until the day i fly away alone I will lose the sky I’m a sleeping sandpiper |
|
故郷へ続 く蒼い風をただ 信じていたのよ 幸せの道しるべ 緑の島へ 貴方の翼を見つめて |
furusato he tsuzuku aoi kaze wo tada shinjiteita no yo shiawase no michishirube midori no shima he anata no tsubasa wo mitsumete |
I only believed in the blue breeze that continued on to my birthplace I gaze at your wings, a guide of happiness to the green island |
|
自由になれば 道を失くした 世界は哀しいほど広く 海より高く 天より低く 行くわ |
jiyuu ni nareba michi wo nakushita sekai wa kanashii hodo hiroku umi yori takaku ten yori hikuku yuku wa |
I lost my way when i became free the world is so far and wide that it’s lonely i will go higher than the seas bringing down the heavens |
|
もう貴方に傷つくこともない やがて閉ざされる蒼穹 帰る場所さえ見えなくなるけど 私は空を忘れて 歩き始める |
mou anata ni kizutsuku koto mo nai yagate tozasareru soukyuu kaeru basho sae mienaku naru kedo watashi wa sora wo wasurete arukihajimeru |
There isn’t anything that can hurt you anymore before long, i will shut away the blue sky I will leave the sky behind and begin to walk although I can’t even see the place i’m returning to |

i forgot to point out that “noka” is a particle used when you ask yourself a question. so, the first two lines would be “how long have i been crying in this place?(asking herself) i have entirely forgotten” but it makes it more flowing to just have it as “i have entirely forgotten how long i’ve been crying in this place”

Oh thanks for pointing out, but I didnt find any problem understanding the lyrics the way you had it. Do you want to correct anything on the lyrics ?
28 Nov 2011 at 1:32 pm
nah i think it’s fine
i just wanted to point it out. just in case 
i just though if i pointed it out, people would understand that hikaru is “singing to herself” in a way and that makes this song utterly beautiful

It seems that I’m the only one who thinks that sandpiper is kinda boring. With its 1 minute intro, 1 minute interlude, and 1 minute ending, plus the second part is just a repeating from the first part so I don’t feel any climax from this song
Even so the song has the best lyrics from the entire After Eden album 
I really love the phrase “I’m a sleeping sandpiper”.

I think I heard the kajiurago chorus… try it.
“…namida no riyuu sae kareteshimau made
hitori de kakureteitai no ( esto diya )”
“…suna no morosa ni
kiete ( arti sora )”
“…midori no shima he
anata no tsubasa wo mitsumete ( esto diya )”
“…ten yori hikuku
yuku wa ( arti sora )”
