心の声をそのままあなたに届けられたなら

Kokoro no koe wo sono mama anata ni hododokerareta nara

言葉も口も元気な 芝居 芝居
play; drama も意味なかったね

Kotoba mo kuchi mo genki na shibai mo imi nakatta ne

If I could've brought you the voice of my heart as it was,
Words, mouths, and energetic theatrics wouldn't have mattered.

You said that you wanted to see
fireflies that dyed the long night to become light yellow.

生まれ変われたら今より素直になって

Umare kawaretara ima yori sunao ni natte

明日同じように

Ashita onaji you ni

If I could be reborn, I'd be more honest than I am right now.
As same as tomorrow.

恋をして　お願いあなたを

I'm in love, and I'm begging you
to come and get me. Please come and get me.

Because you said "See you again someday"
So, I wanted to see fireflies too.

あなたにすればなんてこともない出来の悪い子だよね

Anata ni sureba nante koto mo nai deki no warui ko da yo ne

灯りのついた 蛍 蛍
firefly (Luciola cruciata); lightning bug; glowworm は十五夜生きてはいられないから

Akari no tsuita hotaru wa juugoya ikite wa irarenai kara

To you, I might be a bad boy who can't do anything.
Because lighted fireflies cannot live for fifteen nights.

生まれ変われたら今より眩しくなって

Umare kawaretara ima yori mabushiku natte

わたし同じように

Watashi mo onaji you ni

If I could be reborn, I would be more dazzling than I am now.
Just as I am now

手をとって　走るよ世界は

Te o totte hashiru yo sekai wa

止まっている止まっているのに

Tomatteiru tomatteiru no ni

I'll take your hand and run,
even though the world has stopped spinning.

そりゃそうかわたしは今誰よりも

That's right, now I'm closer to the fireflies than anyone else.

今なら心の水底を見せられるけど

Ima nara kokoro no minasoko wo miserareru kedo

あなたは何も知らないで

Anata wa nanimo shiranaide

I can show you the depths of my heart right now,
But I don't want you to know anything about it.

ただ笑ってて欲しい

Tada warattete hoshii

笑ってて欲しい

Warattete hoshii

I just want you to smile.
I want you to smile.

この背中の暖かさを

Kono senaka no atatakasa o

心に 燈せる 燈せる
to light (a candle, lamp, etc.); to turn on (a light) としたら

Kokoro ni tomosеru to shitara

If I could light my heart by the warmth of my back.

消さないで こがね 黄金

Don't put (the fire) out.
I want to keep it hidden with a golden ribbon.

蛍 蛍
firefly (Luciola cruciata); lightning bug; glowworm はここにいた

Hotaru wa koko ni ita

Only me, it's only me who knows, that fireflies were here.

昨日の夜を大人になるまで

1. to finish; to end 2. to close 3. to keep; to store 4. to do completely おくよ

Kokoro ni shimatte oku yo

I'll keep the last night in my heart
until I grow up.

聞かれたならばこう答えるね

Kikareta naraba kou kotaeru ne

蛍 蛍
firefly (Luciola cruciata); lightning bug; glowworm はいなかった

If I was asked, I will answer like this,
There were no fireflies.
