Original lyrics

メーデー

君に嫌われた君の　沈黙が聴こえた

君の目の前に居るのに　遠くから聴こえた

発信源を探したら　辿り着いた水溜まり

これが人の心なら　深さなど解らない

呼ばれたのが　僕でも僕じゃないとしても

どうでもいい事だろう　問題は別にあるんだ

息は持つだろうか　深い心の底まで

君が沈めた君を　見つけるまで潜るつもりさ

苦しさと比例して　僕らは近付ける

再び呼吸をする時は　君と一緒に

僕もまた同じ様に　沈黙を聴かれた

君もまた同じ様に　飛び込んでくれるなら

口付けを預け合おう　無くさずに持っていこう

君に嫌われた君へ　代わりに届けるよ

誰もが違う生き物　他人同士だから

寂しさを知った時は　温もりに気付けるんだ

勇気はあるだろうか　一度心覗いたら

君が隠した痛み　ひとつ残らず知ってしまうよ

傷付ける代わりに　同じだけ傷付こう

分かち合えるもんじゃないのなら　二倍あればいい

怖いのさ　僕も君も

自分を見るのも見せるのも　或いは誰かを覗くのも

でも　精一杯送っていた　沈めた自分から

祈る様なメーデー

響く救難信号　深い心の片隅

こんなところにいたの　側においで　逃げなくていいよ

触れた発信源に　届けるよ　口付け

君から預かってきたんだよ

勇気はあるだろうか　一度手を繋いだら

離さないまま外まで　連れていくよ　信じていいよ

息は持つだろうか　眩しい心の外まで

再び呼吸をする時は　君と一緒に

Translation

Mayday

You hate me now, I could hear your silence

Though right in front of you, I hear it from a distance

As I search for its source, I come upon a pool of water

If this is a person's heart, then I don't know its depth

The one being called for, whether it's me or someone else

Doesn't really matter, does it? The problem lies elsewhere

Will my air last until reaching the bottom of your deep heart

I'm staying under until I find the self-sunken you

Proportional to our suffering, I draw closer

When I breathe again, it will be together with you

I again heard the silence in the same way

If you're going to jump in again like did before

Let's hold onto one another's kisses, without losing them

You hate me now, so I'll deliver it on your behalf

Everyone's their own living being, we are all strangers

So, when we come to know sadness, we can also notice warmth

Will I have the courage? If I peer into your heart once

I'll know every last bit of pain that you had hidden away

Instead of hurting you, let me be hurt to the same degree

If we can't reach a mutual understanding, I'll take twice the pain

You and I are both fearful of

Looking at, or showing ourselves, or looking into somebody else

But I sent it with all my strength, from my sunken self

A prayer-like mayday

A distress call echoing in a corner of a cavernous heart

There you are, in a place like this. Come close to me, no need to run away

I'll deliver a kiss to the source that I've come into contact with

Something that you had me holding onto

Will I have the courage? If we hold hands once

I won't let you go until I bring you back, you can trust me

Will my breath last, until reaching the dazzling outside of your heart

When I breathe again, it will be together with you
