Boku wa Koko ni Iru
by Kugimiya Rie
nemurenai yoru heya wo nukedashi
sora wo miagete kaze wo kanjiteru
mimi wo sumashite me wo korashite
On a night when I can't sleep, I slip out of my room
Look up at the sky, and feel the wind
Listening closely and watching intently
kono fuukei ga kono kaze ga
dareka no tsukuri mono toshitara
ima koko ni iru kono boku mo
tsukuri mono nanoka
If this scenery and this wind
Are someone's creations
Then is this me, who is here now, also
A creation?
toikakete sagashite mitemo
kotae doko ni monai
Even if I tried to ask or search for it
The answer wouldn't exist anywhere
kaketa pazuru wo umete yukuyouni
kioku no kakera hiroi atsumetemo
naku shitamono ga mitsukerarenai
As if burying a puzzle that is missing pieces
Even if I gather far and wide for the pieces of my memory
That which have been lost are unfindable
kono kioku ga omoidega
honto no mono janai to shitara
ima kanjiteru kono kimochi
ittai nannano
If these memories and recollections
Aren't real things
Then what in the world is this feeling
That I'm feeling now?
yami no naka togisumashitemo
kotae doko nimo nai
Even if I sharpened in the darkness
The answer wouldn't exist anywhere
aosora kaze no ne kusa no nukumori
yuuyake hoshi sora egao
The blue sky, the sound of winds, the warmth of grass
The sunset, the starry sky, smiling faces
kono kioku ga omoide ga
honto no mono janai toshitara
ima koko no iru kono boku wa
ittai dare nano?
If these memories and recollections
Aren't real things
Then who in the world is this me
Who is here now?
kono sekai ga kono subete ga
dareka ga tsukutta sekai nara
ima koko ni iru kono boku wa
ittai nandaro
If this world and everything
Are a world that someone created
Then what in the world is this me
Who is here now?
sora mukai toikaketemo
kotae koko ni wa nai
boku wa ima koko ni iru
Even if I faced and asked the sky
The answer isn't here
I am here now
