透明な合図の練習

Toumei na Aizu no Renshuu

Liner Notes

A song that gently depicts, in a translucent voice, the flutter of a one-sided love where just a small signal fills your heart. Even in air as cold as a winter walk home, only the temperature of "I like you" stays warm...

Lyrics (Japanese)

窓にうつる横顔 指先がふるえる 声は出せないまま 笑ってうなずく 白い息がほどけて 言えない好きが膨らむ 透明な合図を送ってる 届かない距離で送ってる 気づかなくてもいいよ 好きって言えないままでも私は今日も恋してる 胸の中で名前が鳴る 透明な合図を送ってる 肩に落ちた雪みたいに 言葉がそっと消える 近づけないままでも 同じ空を見てる 今日が終わる前に もう一度だけ目を合わせたい 透明な合図を送ってる 届かない距離で送ってる 気づかなくてもいいよ 好きって言えないままでも私は今日も恋してる ドキドキは私だけの秘密 透明な合図を送ってる もしももしもを数えて 想いだけが追い越す 次も会えるなら また練習していく 透明な合図を送ってる 小さな私の宣言 気づいたら笑って 好きって言えないままでも私は今日も恋してる いつか本当の声で 君に届けるまで

Translation

The profile reflected in the window my fingertips tremble Without a voice coming out I smile and nod My white breath comes undone and the love I can't say swells I'm sending a transparent signal sending it across a distance it can't cross It's fine if you don't notice Even if I can't say "I like you," today I'm still in love Your name rings inside my chest I'm sending a transparent signal Like snow falling on a shoulder the words quietly disappear Even if I can't come closer we're looking at the same sky Before today ends I want to meet your eyes just once more I'm sending a transparent signal sending it across a distance it can't cross It's fine if you don't notice Even if I can't say "I like you," today I'm still in love This fluttering is my secret alone I'm sending a transparent signal Counting up all the what-ifs only my feelings race ahead If we can meet again next time I'll keep practicing once more I'm sending a transparent signal my own small declaration If you notice, smile Even if I can't say "I like you," today I'm still in love until someday, with my true voice I reach you
