Description
A red traffic light in the night is like a full stop in a conversation that did not end according to the script. Stands there, silent. It shines as if it is worried. Or remembers. Or just one.
The song seems to be about that very strange night, when the city breathes differently, and even the air seems a little in love. About meetings that become coordinates in the universe. About loneliness, which you want to hide under a “common secret.” About a dream that does not interfere with walking - it simply illuminates the path with its red spark.
And even if all this is just a dream, let it be kind. With a “Hello” as a farewell and the feeling that in the darkness someone is still walking next to you.
Lyrics and translation
Original
赤く染まる信号機はひとりぼっち
僕のこころのように
それは言葉や記号じゃあない
さみしさというスペース
いつだって夜に描く
見えないもの消えないもの
偶然のキャンバスに落とす色 蒼い青
言えない過去や癒えない傷を
お揃いの秘密にしたい
君と出逢った場所が僕の世界の真中
全部夜のせいにして忘れてしまいたいのに
目を閉じても君の残像が揺らいで眠れない
今もまだ広がっている僕だけの宇宙がある
星と星を線で繋ぐように
明日になればまた
ハロー ハロー
いつだって僕たちは
ただ自由を求めるでしょう
幻想のシグナルに灯す色 赤い炎
月の風に誘われて明かりのない場所まで行こう
夜が明けるその前に 君とふたりで
やがて世界は愛に満ちていく
綺麗な色に染まっていく
自由の方へ歩んでいく
これが夢だと気づいたとしても
そばにいて
全部夜のせいにして忘れてしまいたいのに
目を閉じても君の残像が揺らいで眠れない
今もまだ広がっている僕だけの宇宙がある
星と星を線で繋ぐように
明日になればまた
ハロー ハロー
English translation
The traffic light dyed red is all alone
Like my heart
It's not words or symbols
It's the space called loneliness
Always drawing in the night
Things unseen, things unvanished
Dropping blue, pale blue onto a canvas of chance
I want to make unspoken pasts and unhealed wounds
Our matching secret
The place I met you is the center of my world
Even though I want to forget it all, blaming it on the night
Even with my eyes closed, your afterimage wavers, and I can't sleep
There's still my own universe expanding
As if connecting stars with lines
When tomorrow comes, again
Hello, hello
Always, we
Will just seek freedom, won't we?
A red flame, a color lit on a signal of illusion
Invited by the moon's wind, let's go to a place without light
Before the night dawns, you and me together
Eventually, the world will be filled with love
Will be dyed in beautiful colors
Will walk towards freedom
Even if I realize this is a dream
Stay by my side
Even though I want to forget it all, blaming it on the night
Even with my eyes closed, your afterimage wavers, and I can't sleep
There's still my own universe expanding
As if connecting stars with lines
When tomorrow comes, again
Hello, hello
