Just by listening to your voice,
it’s like the distance keeps shrinking On a sweet midsummer night, the sky you looked at filled up with branches of fireworks trickling down, traces of light I reach for your hand; a fragment of stars I have only one wish To be together with you, that’s all I want Today when I met up with you at last, it was a rare sunny day A crack had opened up all the way until I could touch you I love you any way you are Even though I’m standing on tiptoe I can’t reach out to you completely Even painful things make me happy If I can just be with you An insignificant song isn’t much, but I feel like giving something to you Place your hands, trembling so much, around me I’m changing in your arms May we be healed as we’re not apart Amidst the branches of fireworks trickling down, traces of light I reach for your hand; a fragment of stars Even more than words, this song of mine is the real thing, warm and genuine I have only one wish To be together with you, that’s all I want |
Translator's notes: This song is sung from the point of view of a man, because of the masculine language (boku, sa, da, etc) which Rie doesn't normally use.
Rie's liner notes: Another try at a song. Compared with the other songs, it has a very concrete language that comes in a lot. A very direct, pure, painfully sweet song. Come to think of it, for some reason since making this song, I am now a clear-sky type of girl.
