Hotaru (螢; Firefly) – RADWIMPS

[Romanized:]

Niji no hajimaru basho wo sagashitanda yo
Amatta hikari wo morai ni itta yo

Hika tte nai to ne
Daremo boku wo minain da yo
Waka tta furi demo ii kara

Ano hinotori wo boku wa sagashitanda yo
Amatta hane wo morai ni itta yo

Demo ne boku ni wa dore mo ooki sugite
Motomeru imi wa chiisa sugite

Hikatte kieru tada sore dake to shiri nagara
Hikaru boku wa kirei deshou?
Nigotte mieta ashita ga hareru sono wake wa
Mou dare nimo kika nai kara

Ii yo boku ni wa namae wa nai kedo
Boku ga kieru toki wa chanto naite yo

Sono toki ichiban mabushikatta hoshi ni
Boku no namae tsukete hoshii na

Ureshii koto kanashii koto wa itsumo
Ganbun kozutsu na no
Dakara sou
Saigo wa zero ni nareru no

Hikatte kieru tada sore dake shinji nagara
Utau boku wa koko ni iru yo
Tsukutte miseru sono egao mo itoshii kara
Mou kinou wo sagasa nai de yo

Hikatte kieru tada sore dake to shiri nagara
Hikaru boku wa kirei deshou?

Dakara ne itamu mune ni hikaru tane wo nosete
Shiawase da ne tte ieru made
Hikattetai no

Ubatte nigeru tada sore dake no

[Japanese:]

虹の始まる場所を探したんだよ
余った光をもらいに行ったよ

光ってないとね 誰も僕を見ないんだよ
分かったフリでもいいから

あの火の鳥を僕は探したんだよ
余った羽をもらいに行ったよ

でもね 僕にはどれも大きすぎて
求める理由(いみ)は小さすぎて

光って消えるただそれだけと知りながら 光る僕はきれいでしょう?
濁って見えた明日が晴れるその理由は もう誰にも聞かないから

いいよ 僕には名前はないけど
僕が消えるときはちゃんと泣いてよ

そのとき 一番眩しかった星に
僕の名前つけてほしいな

嬉しいこと 悲しいことはいつも半分コずつなの
だからそう 最期はゼロになれるの

光って消えるただそれだけ信じながら 歌う僕はここにいるよ
作ってみせるその笑顔も愛しいから もう昨日を探さないでよ

光って消えるただそれだけと知りながら 光る僕はきれいでしょう?

だからね 痛む胸に光る種を乗せて 幸せだねって言えるまで
光ってたいの

奪って逃げるただそれだけの命なら

[English translation:]

I searched for the end of the rainbow
I went to get some of the plentiful light

It didn’t shine
No one can see me
It was a setback, but that’s okay

I searched for that phoenix
I went to get one of its many feathers

But you know, to me, both were too big
And the reasons to look for them were too small

All I know how to do is shine and disappear, but still
The shining me is pretty, don’t you think?
There’s a way that the muddied tomorrow can be bright again
And no one can hear it anymore

It’s okay. I don’t have a name, but
When I disappear, I’ll be sure to cry

At that time, I want the brightest star
To give me a name

Everything is one half
Happy things and one half sad things
That’s why
In the end, it can equal to zero

All I believed I could do shine and disappear, but even so
The singing me exists, here
The smile you’ll continue to make is precious
So please don’t search for yesterday anymore

All I know is to shine and disappear, but still
The shining me is pretty, don’t you think?

That’s why, in this hurting heart, I’ll take care of this seed of light
Until I can say this must be happiness
I want to shine

If this is a life of nothing but stealing and running away…
