#But I'm just gonna say it now: it should actually be translated as SANDBOX

After the Rain- The Blindfolded Girl and Mirage (Mekakushi Shoujo to Shinkiro / 目隠し少女と蜃気楼) English Lyrics

深く閉ざされた夜空を色づける

ちいさな世界の優しい話

This is a tender storyー one that colors the night sky

And a small world locked deep inside of it

黒く疎まれた嘘吐きなカラスと

いつも目隠しの少女の話

This is a story about a black and shunned liar of a crow

And a girl who always wore a blindfold

投げつけられた石の数なら

数え切れるものじゃないけど

爪の手足の　黒い翼の

ボクにできること

I can’t even begin to count

The number of stones that have been cast at me

But with my talons and feet, my wings black and sleek

What I can do is

眩しい世界を夢見る君へ歌う

しゃがれた声　嘘で塗り固めたストーリー

その不器用な瞼の向こう　ちょっと期待させたら

笑う君を見ていたい

Sing of a brilliant and shining world to you, always lost in a dream

With my hoarse voice, I tell my stories plastered with lies

If I’ve managed to spark a glimmer of hope behind those awkward eyelids

Then I want to see you smile

「優しいあなたを一度見てみたいなあ」

ボクは笑うだけ　言葉がないや

いつか君が光を戻した時は

どこか飛び去ってしまえばいいや

“Oh, you’re so kind. I wish I could see you at least once.”

All I do is laugh. I have no words

One day, when you turn the lights back on 

I should just fly somewhere far away

水をくぐった石塔の

瓦礫に咲いた花を摘んで

ランラララ　ラララーラッター

鼻歌なんていつ以来だっけ

From the stone tower past the water

I pluck a flower blooming in the ruins

La-lalala lalala-latta

How long has it been since I’ve hummed like this?

ろくでもないこの生涯で

やっと生きる意味を知ったんだ

やっと笑えたんだ

My whole life has been worthless

And I finally learned why I’m alive

I finally smiled

悲しい未来は啄んで愛を運ぶ

黒い羽がたとえ醜いと言われたって

この不都合な身体も　君にちょっとだけ明日を

教えてあげられるんだ

The sad future pecks at us and carries a love

Even if people call these black wings ugly,

With this troublesome body, I can at least

Tell you a little bit about tomorrow

永久に響け鳥の歌　蜃気楼の世界は

ふたりだけに許された　箱庭の夢の中

物語じゃ語られない　ありふれた幸せが

ふたりの望んだ　ふたりだけの世界

Eternally sounding birdsong and a world of mirages

Are inside a sandbox dream only us two are allowed in

A mere story can’t convey the simple happiness

The two wished for. A world for just the two of them
