ももいろの鍵 (momoiro no kagi)

Are you crying? Are you mad?
A childish voice asks me
No need to worry, I’m smiling now
But my answer just hangs in the air

What I drew that day, the color of dreams
Gradually turns to black
I know I’m not alone
I’m looking to the side

I suddenly look back
It’s getting far away
The crossroads feel like a diorama
Like memories that have settled in

The clover I invited, choosing this place
Standing on a shining stage
I’m holding your hand, wishing that
It won’t hurt you at all

Numb and cold, numb and cold
Each time I warm it up
The sparkling lights and the falling shadows
I want to love them all

Don’t cry, don’t cry
I’m here for that reason
With my hand on your trembling fingers
Until I unlock the door

Soon to bear what I carry, the sound I entrust
The outlines turn black
I know I’m not alone
I’m looking ahead

I suddenly look back
It’s becoming invisible
The crossroads feel like a picture frame
Holding memories tucked away

The clover I invited, taking its leaves
Waiting for a new stage
I’m gazing into your eyes, wishing that
The stars won’t fade away

So bright, so bright
Reaching out to what’s ahead
I want to remember everything I’ve touched
And all the wounds I’ve received

Don’t give up, don’t give up
I’m here for that reason
I want my dreams to reach
Even the unseen world beyond the distance

Are you crying? Are you mad?
A childish voice asks me
No need to worry, I’m smiling now
I’ll deliver my answer in a song

Now smile, smile
With kindness on your cheek
The sparkling lights and the falling shadows
I’ll keep them all in my thoughts

Overcoming and moving forward
Just walking straight ahead
With my hand on your trembling fingers
Now I unlock the door

Even if it’s rusty
With colors that won’t fade, I’m
Opening the door now.
