君のためにできること
いつまでも君だけは
変わらないで側にいて
僕の腕で抱きしめた時から
この予感に気付いたから
あどけない笑顔に見せた君に
涙の理由を聞けなくて
僕の掴んだ手を振りほどいて
そっと背中越しに声をかけた
「もう大丈夫だよ」と
何度も繰り返して
小さく震えてる君に
そんな言葉しか言えないけれど
いつだって君だけは
変わらないで側にいて
僕の腕で抱きしめた時から
この予感に気付いたから
何気ない話の中で
君の見せた笑顔が嬉しくて
僕は少し恥ずかしそうに微笑う君を
離さないまま呟いた
「もう大丈夫…」なんてことしか
言えないけど
その涙もう消えるなら
僕は君の道化師になるから
いつだって君だけは
変わらないで側にいて
僕の腕で抱きしめた時から
この予感に気付いたから
手にした笑顔の数より
涙は多いかもしれないけど
”側に居る”
それが僕の、君のためにできること
いつだって君だけは
変わらないで側にいて
僕の腕で抱きしめた時から
この予感に気付いたから
いつだって僕だけは
君を離したりはしないから
僕が君を守ってみせるから
この予感に気付いたから

What I Can Do For You
Forever only you
Stay by my side and never change
From when I held you in my arms
Because I had this feeling about you
You showed me an innocent smile
and I couldn’t bring myself to ask the reason for your tears1
You shook loose the hand I held…
and I spoke softly over your shoulder
“It’s okay now”
I said over and over again
to you, as you trembled slightly
There’s nothing else I can say, but
Always, only you
Stay by my side and never change
From when I held you in my arms
Because I had this feeling about you
During a casual conversation
your smile made me happy
You looked a little embarrassed as you smiled
I stayed by your side and whispered
“It’s okay now…”
That’s the only thing I can say, but
If it will make your tears disappear
then I’ll be your clown, so2
Always, only you
Stay by my side and never change
From when I held you in my arms
Because I had this feeling about you
Perhaps we’ve had more tears than smiles, but
“Stay with you”
That is what I can do for you
Always, only you
Stay by my side and never change
From when I held you in my arms
Because I had this feeling about you
Because always, I alone
will never leave you
Because I will protect you
Because I had this feeling about you
1. This line is written 理由 riyuu but pronounced わけ wake. Both words mean “reason”.
2. ピエロ piero (from the French “pierrot”) is written with the kanji 道化師 doukeshi (clown, jester). Presumably for the benefit of Japanese readers who may not be familiar with the former.
