「千夜一夜」 “A Thousand Nights in One”

Kanji	Romaji	English
この場所を出て歩く道の事を考える空はまだ早い夕方雲に色を残して隣の子供は同じ歌もう三度も歌ってる終わる言葉思い出せず最後だけずっと繰り返して	kono basho wo dete aruku michi no koto wo kangaeru sora wa mada hayai yuugata, kumo ni iro wo nokoshite tonari no kodomo wa onaji uta mou san do mo utatteru owaru kotoba omoi dasezu saigo dake zutto kurikaeshite	I walk away from here, pondering which way to go. The sun is setting early, painting the clouds with its glow as it disappears. The children next to me are singing the same song for the third time. Unable to remember the words to end it, they repeat the last verse over and over.
始めも終わりもいらなかった君の目が呟いたどんな記憶を探したら胸の深みへ届くのだろう長すぎた君の言う日々は一夜の夢のようで終わる言葉信じられない目覚めの時はまだ遠い	hajime mo owari mo iranakatta kimi no me ga tsubuyaita donna kioku wo sagashitara mune no fukami he todoku no darou nagasugita, kimi no iu hibi wa hitoyo no yume no you de owaru kotoba shinjirarenai mezame no toki wa mada tooi	Your eyes whispered, “We don’t need beginnings or endings.” What kind of memories do I have to search for that will reach deep into my heart? The days that you said were too long seemed like a dream that lasted just one night. I can’t believe that it is coming to an end, it is too early to wake up.
千の夜を消せないでまだここを立てない	sen no yoru wo kesenai de mada koko wo tatenai	Don’t make the 1,000 nights disappear. I can’t leave here just yet.
誰の心も動かせないただの無口なシエラザード幾つの夜を重ねてもーつの恋さえ語れない温もりにもなれなかった寝物語は何処へ消えて君の優しい言葉だけせめて覚えておきたかった	dare no kokoro mo ugokasenai tada no mukuchi na SHIERAZAADO ikutsu no yoru wo kasanete mo hitotsu no koi sae katarenai nugumori ni mo narenakatta nemono gatari wa doko he kiete kimi no yasashii kotoba dake semete oboete okitakatta	I’m merely a silent Scheherezade who can’t move anyone’s heart. No matter how many nights pass, I can’t talk about even one love. I couldn’t even get used to warmth. Where did the bedtime story disappear to? I wanted to at least remember your gentle words.
千の夜を消せないで一人の道に席を立つ	sen no yoru wo kesenai de hitori no michi ni seki wo tatsu	Don’t make the 1,000 nights disappear. I stand up to walk a lonely path.
優しい言葉だけせめて覚えておきたかった一つの夜に消えた千の夜を…	yasashii kotoba dake semete oboete okitakatta hitotsu no yoru ni kieta sen no yoru wo……	I wanted to at least remember your gentle words, remember the 1,000 nights that disappeared in a single night…
