Coaltar of the Deepers

The Proof

From the album "newave"

Wonder where I am now?; please tell me
Ima doko ni iru no darou, oshiete yo
今何処にいるのだろう 教えてよ

When will now occur?; please tell me
Ima itsu ni naru no darou, oshiete yo
今いつになるのだろう 教えてよ

It feels like a today will never come, when it bridges yesterday and tomorrow
Kinou kara ashite e wataru toki, kyou ga konai ki ga shite
昨日から明日へ渡る時 今日が来ない気がして

Right now I'm here, I'm certainly here right now.
Ima boku wa koko ni iru kakujitsu ni ima koko ni iru yo
今僕はここにいる確実に今ここにいるよ

That's the proof of it.
Sore ga akashi da to iu koto
それが証だということ

Wonder when it will become tomorrow?
Ashita wa itsu ni nareba kuru no darou
明日はいつになればくるのだろう

Right now I'm here, certainly here right now.
Ima boku wa koko ni iru kakujitsu ni ima koko ni iru yo.
今僕はここにいる確実に今ここにいるよ

That's the proof of it.
Sore ga akashi da to iu koto
そんな証ということ

You're here right now, certainly here right now.
Ima kimi wa koko ni ite kakujitsu ni ima koko ni iru yo.
今君はここにいて確実に今ここにいるよ

I know that's the proof of it.
Sore ga akashi da to iu koto o shiru
それが証ということを知る
