鬼束ちひろ(Onitsuka Chihiro):Ash On This Road

変わって行くものが
優しささえ　振り落として
何も出来ない私に
答えを求めてる
届きそうにないで居て
いつでもその手を
差し延べて　塵のように小さな私を
貴方だけは笑って　抱き上げて居て

この揺り籠の紐が
切れて私が堕ちて行く時
あらゆるルールが目の前で
働けばいいのに
誰も救わずにいた
期待なんてしなかった
だけど私の心はきっと
泣き叫ぶから

届きそうにないで居て
強い振りでもいいからしてて
失くなりそうになる私を
貴方だけはしっかり見つけて居て

The things that keep changing,
shaking off even kindness,
are demanding an answer
from me who can do nothing

Don’t just almost reach me
Always hold out your hands
Smile at and hold, you alone,
this small self so like dust in your arms

When I cut this cradle’s
cords and go on falling
I really wish that every rule
would be put into practice before my eyes

No one rescued me
I wasn’t expecting them to
But because I’m sure my heart
is crying and shouting

Don’t just almost reach me
It’s fine even if you pretend you’re strong, so do it
Be steady and find, you alone,
this self about to get lost
