LONELY・Miyashita Yuu・Water Vein「english translation」

Always swallow up all that’s to come—
I'll wait forever and ever
beneath the dazzling winter sunrise

Throwing aside promises and obligations,
you're off-limits
because you're walking beside me

"A little more" just once more;
I've been waiting for you, crimson

The sound of the railroad crossing,
the setting sun that shone through my hands..
I was saying selfish things just to trouble you
Even the painful words were right,
If we’re ever reborn, we’ll keep talking to you
just like we always have,
like a toy, a game, that will go on forever

I'll leave behind scraps, pieces of junk,
so that the scars might reach you, too
The dusk in my eyes has turned to ashes
now that tomorrow is getting lost in fog

Today, follow me at an even distance
our hands joined, and you get embarrassed;
we say farewell, in the park that we knew so well
it echoes, turning red

"In exchange" and the like, what does it hide?
What I left behind; crimson
Hurrying into the moonlit landscape,
I doubted this everyday life, or maybe I was just bored

We saw the small town that we can't return to,
there is no one at its center
but, as always
the landscape which fascinated that child,
the scenery he pursued,
from the window it disappeared, frozen in place—
he ran away

Gently collapsing, swaying,
swaying.. the street corners falling apart—
Words are corrupted
touching the rolled up sleeves..
one, a door that can't be reached
sleeping in the shadows, waiting in vain

If you look, you can just barely see
a clocktower, the red glow of a sunset, vividly
and the city lights;

I awake from a dream,
I saw it again, that falling crimson star
the future I wish for but, as always,
my limbs have rusted, inside the sun which shines again
I have no voice, I cry, I continue, my wish—
I was left behind by the world, waiting
