私の生きた証拠

*UPDATE (SEPTEMBER 10): As of now I am still constantly refining the translation, so please comment if you find something wrong with it.

I present to you, before the CD’s actually released in stores, the translated and romanized lyrics for the new Tainaka Sachi single, Saikou no Kataomoi. Upon the addition of Kanji and refinement this will be my seventh completed translation project (I prefer to take it as a new one, despite the fact that I already translated the TV-size version, and some improvements have been made on this version from the last)

I did this based on the promo video available on youtube, which appears to be the full song. Note that some mistakes are possible; finalized translations and Kanji will be provided once I receive the official lyrics.
　
　

　
TVアニメ　「彩雲国物語」　エンディングテーマ

最高の片想い

歌：タイナカ サチ
作詞：タイナカ サチ
作曲：タイナカ サチ
編曲：藤井丈司/小山晃平
　
　
いつもすごく自由なあなたは今
この雨の中どんな夢を追いかけているの
どこかで孤独と戦いながら
涙も我慢してるんだろう

一人でも大丈夫と　あなたも私と同じ
遠回りばかりだけど　なぜかこの道が好きで

幸せだとか嬉しい時は
あなたの事を思い出すから
色鮮やかな季節はきっと
この想い届けてくれる
　
　
憧れとか好きだとか嫌いだとか
そういう気持ちだとはどこか違うんだけれど
あなたのその美しい流れに
私も乗せてほしい

曖昧な言葉よりも　簡単な約束より
欲しいのは手のぬくもり　そして二人だけの時

もしもあなたが悲しいのなら
明日が少し見えないのなら
頼って欲しい私はきっと
これからもあなたを想う
　
　
幸せだとか嬉しい時は
あなたの事を思い出すから
色鮮やかな季節はきっと
この想い届けてくれる

Itsumo sugoku jiyuu na anata wa ima
Kono ame no naka donna yume wo oikaketeiru no
Dokoka de kodoku to tatakai nagara
Namida mo gaman shiterun darou

Hitori de mo daijoubu to anata mo watashi to onaji
Toomawari bakari dakedo naze ka kono michi ga suki de

Shiawase da toka ureshii toki wa
Anata no koto wo omoidasu kara
Iro azayaka na kisetsu wa kitto
Kono omoi todokete kureru
　
　
Akogare toka suki toka kirai da toka
Sou iu kimochi da to wo dokoka chigaun da keredo
Anata no sono utsukushii nagare ni
Watashi mo nosete hoshii

Aimai na kotoba yori mo kantan na yakusoku yori
Hoshii no wa te no nukumori soshite
Futari dake no toki

Moshimo anata ga kanashii no nara
Ashita ga sukoshi mienai no nara
Tayotte hoshii watashi wa kitto
Kore kara mo anata mo houmou
　
　
Shiawase da toka ureshii toki wa
Anata no koto wo omoidasu kara
Iro azayaka na kisetsu wa kitto
Kono omoi todokete kureru
　
　
　
Normally you were so free in spirit –
What dream might you be chasing after now in this rain?
No matter where you might be battling with loneliness,
You were always holding back your tears, right?

You say “I’ll be all right even when alone.” - just like I do
Despite detours everywhere, for some reason, we have taken to this path

In times of happiness or joy,
I’ll remember of you
And I am sure that this season, with its vivid colours,
Will convey these feelings of mine to you
　
　
Longing, liking, or dislike –
Though saying my feelings for you are of those seems somewhat wrong,
I want to follow your beautiful shadow*

More than vague words or simple promises,
What I desire is the warmth of your hand, and
A time only for the two of us

If you should feel sad,
Or if tomorrow [the future] can’t be clearly seen,
I, who wish you would rely on me,
Would continue to think of you
　
　
In times of happiness or joy,
I’ll remember of you
And I am sure that this season, with its vivid colours,
Will convey these feelings of mine to you
　
　
　
* This is the figurative translation, subject to some creative interpretation on my part. Literally, it would go “I want to ride on that beautiful flow of yours”.
