Kissaki ni utsutta kimi ga
Sasurau aki no sora
Omou yori tsuyoku wanai sono yokogao ni
Boku wa itsumo chikadzukenaide iru
Wasuretai omou hodo ni zutto wasurerarenai
Hamukatta kinou wa boku o sasu
Sode ga fureta yoake zen-sa
Deau mae ni moumodorenai na
Daregatame ni mo hana wa saku ran
Kono omoi todokanakutomo
Ai nanka ga ai nanka de
Namidanoato wa kesenai wa
Kedo itsuka wa yuruserunara
Kono kissaki ni utsushita ashita o
Meimei ni sasurau wa aki no sora
Ima massarani bokura deaunara
Ano hiro koto mo itami wa uso mo
Nagareru toki to
Tomoni tokete ikukara
Wasurerarenaihito yo
Sasurau wa sayonara
You reflected in the tip of the knife
Ah, the wandering autumn sky
That side face that's not as strong as I thought
I always keep away
I can't forget it as much as I want to forget it
Yesterday, when I turned my back on you, stabbed me
My sleeve touched it before dawn
I can't go back to before we met
Flowers will not bloom for anyone
Even if I don't realize this
Love is love
I can't erase the tears
But if someday I can forgive
The tomorrow reflected on this tip
Each one wanders in the autumn sky
If we meet straight now
The pain and lies about that day
Because it melts
As time flows
I can't forget you
Wandering is left
切っ先に映った君が
嗚 さすらう秋の空
思うより強くはないその横顔に
僕はいつも近付けないでいる
忘れたい思うほどにずっと忘れられない
刃向かった昨日は僕を刺す
袖が触れた 夜明け前さ
出逢う前にもう戻れないな
誰が為にも 花は咲くらん
この思い届かなくとも
愛なんかが 愛なんかで
涙のあとは消せないわ
けどいつかは許せるなら
この切っ先に映した明日を
銘々にさすらうは秋の空
今真っさらに僕ら出逢うなら
あの日のことも痛みもも
流れる時ととも
に溶けていくから
忘れられない人よ
さすらうは左様なら

Kissaki ni utsutta kimi ga
Tsunzaite boku no negai wa
Sasurau aki no sora
Omou yori tsuyoku wanai sono yokogao ni
Boku wa itsumo chikadzukenaide iru
Wasuretai omou hodo ni zutto wasurerarenai
Hamukatta kinou wa boku o sasu
Sode ga fureta yoake zen-sa
Deau mae ni moumodorenai na
Daregatame ni mo hana wa saku ran
Kono omoi todokanakutomo
Ai nanka ga ai nanka de
Namidanoato wa kesenai wa
Kedo itsuka wa yuruserunara
Kono kissaki ni utsushita ashita o
Meimei ni sasurau wa aki no sora
Ima massugu ni tsuranuite kimi no
Omoi ga kimi o touku tsureteikudarou
Oboete itai no
Omou you ni ugoite kurenai kono tenohira ni
Don'na imi o nigira sereba
Tsugunai yurushi tsunagi mukae rareru kono akekure
Kono kokoro wa shu ku kuroku koku koku mashite tetsu no aji
Saki o isoge namida wa ashita e to nagareru kawa
Sono ikisaki ni yado shita kakugo o
Reimei ni samayou wa hito no sei
Ienai boku no utsuro terasu no wa
Itooshi oboro ano sōmatō
Aa mata umaru koto no nai fuzai no kimi omou bakarida
Haruyo, ha no iranu yasuragi o mata ubaiaedomo
Kono kissaki ni utsushita ashita o
Meimei ni sasurau wa aki no sora
Ima massarani bokura deaunara
Ano hiro no koto wa itami wa uso wa
Surechigau toki no naka houmutte
Kimi ga izutomo kyou ga akete iku sora
Wasurerarenaihito yo
Sasurau wa sayonara
You reflected in the tip of the knife
My wish is broken
Ah, the wandering autumn sky
That side face that's not as strong as I thought
I always keep away
I can't forget it as much as I want to forget it
Yesterday, when I turned my back on you, stabbed me
My sleeve touched it before dawn
I can't go back to before we met
Flowers will not bloom for anyone
Even if I don't realize this
Love is love
I can't erase the tears
But if someday I can forgive
The tomorrow reflected on this tip
Each one wanders in the autumn sky
Now straight through your
Thoughts will take you far
I want to remember
In this palm that doesn't move as I want
What meaning do you have
Atonement, forgiveness, this dawn and dusk
This heart is red and black
Hurry up and tears will flow to tomorrow
The resolve that dwells in that destination
Wandering at dawn is human nature
What illuminates my emptiness that I can't say
Love oboro that somato
Ah, I'm just thinking about you, who is absent again
Spring, even if we compete again for peace that doesn't need blades
The tomorrow reflected on this tip
Each one wanders in the autumn sky
If we meet straight now
The pain and lies about that day
Bury me in the midst of passing time
Even without you, the sky will dawn today
I can't forget you
Wandering is left
切っ先に映った君が
劈いて僕の願いは
嗚 さすらう秋の空
思うより強くはないその横顔に
僕はいつも近付けないでいる
忘れたい思うほどにずっと忘れられない
刃向かった昨日は僕を刺す
袖が触れた 夜明け前さ
出逢う前にもう戻れないな
誰が為にも 花は咲くらん
この思い届かなくとも
愛なんかが 愛なんかで
涙のあとは消せないわ
けどいつかは許せるなら
この切っ先に映した明日を
銘々にさすらうは秋の空
今真っ直ぐに貫いて君の
思いが君を遠く連れて行くだろう
覚えていたいの
思うように動いてくれないこの掌に
どんな意味を握らせれば
償い許し繋ぎ迎えられるこの明け暮れ
この心は朱く黒く濃く濃くまして鉄の味
先を急げ涙は明日へと流れる河
その行き先に宿した覚悟を
黎明にさまようは人の性
言えない僕の虚ろ照らすのは
愛おし朧 あの走馬灯
嗚呼また埋まることのない不在の君思うばかりだ
春よ、刃の要らぬ安らぎをまた奪い合えども
この切っ先に映した明日を
銘々にさすらうは秋の空
今真っさらに僕ら出逢うなら
あの日のことは痛みは嘘は
すれ違う時のなか葬って
君が居ずとも今日が明けていく空
忘れられない人よ
さすらうは左様なら
