The Sound of Time

時の音
"Toki no Oto"
"The Sound of Time"

Hyperjoy: 50785

I am closing my eyes as if to keep from waking up from the continuation of yesterday's dream .
Swinging in the wind, I am there blinking.
For example, just watching some small birds sing.
Please let me listen to this story, which is neither new nor old.

You, who were awoken by the voice of god, are fanned by heaven.
Every occasion that time piles up, the sky always changes colors.
Even the radio station I was listening to last night played his story.
The sound of time comes closer, sneering at those people.

I graffiti so much it pours off of the walls.
What should I draw next, on the other side of this world?

I close my eyes to the story which you have just created.
My ears kept clear by the sound of time, I'll keep walking with it playing.

Japanese Lyrics:

昨日までの夢の続き覚めない様に目を閉じている
Kinou made no yume no tsuzuki samenai you ni me o tojiteiru
風の中で揺られながら瞬きする自分がいる
Kaze no naka de yurarenagara matatakisuru jibun ga iru
例えばそう小鳥たちが囀るのを見ているだけ
Tatoeba sou kotoritachi ga saezuru no o miteiru dake
新しくも古くもない物語を聞かせてくれ
Atarashiku mo furuku mo nai monogatari o kikasete kure

神の声に目を覚ましたあなたは今、天に仰ぎ
Kami no koe ni me o samashita anata wa ima, ten ni aogi
時をいつ重ねるたび空はいつも色を変える
Toki wo itsu kasaneru tabi sora wa itsumo iro o kaeru
昨夜聞いたラジオからも流れていた彼の話
Yuube kiita rajio karamo nagarete ita kare no hanashi
近づいてく時の音に嘲け笑うその人々
Chikazuiteku toki no oto ni azakewarau sono hitobito
白い壁にあふれるほどラクガキをするのさ
Shiroi kabe ni afureru hodo rakugaki o suru no sa
この世界の向こう側に今度描こう
Kono sekai no mukou gawa ni kondo egakou

あなたが今作り上げた物語に目を閉じてる
Anata ga ima tsukuriageta monogarati ni me o tojiteru
時の音に耳を澄まし流れるまま歩いていこう
Toki no oto ni mimi o sumashinagareru mama aruite ikou
