Iris Lyrics - Sword Art Online: Alicization

English

If you are the red burning sun,
Then I am a blue night-blooming flower
Swaying in the wind, I gaze up at the sky
And am drenched in the morning dew
I stretch out my hand

But I can't reach you
All the while, you are smiling
I wish that one day
I too will have the strength to protect someone

Has your chest, that has accepted your
Sadness, weakness... everything,
Borne and carried wounds
That couldn't be seen all this time?

When the day comes that I'm be able to feel
Your brightness by your side
And not just the scenery over your shoulder
If I could soothe the wounds that you had hidden away
Even the slightest amount, that would be nice
The iris to you.

[Full version continues]

Since you were young, you've been
Especially good at finding fun things
And once again today, the sun gently
Illuminates absolutely everything

"You're always such a stickler",
You always always laughed at me,
And so I thought, just how great would it have been
Had these days continued on forever

I thought, maybe I should let myself get spoiled
By your arms that supported me
The blue petals in my chest
Gently began to scatter
Why is it only now that everything
Seems so precious to me
I saw a teary smile
In my hazy sight
Please
Don't smile like that...
The iris to you.

Truth is... you were always
Precious to me, and I was so envious
I want to be by your side forever

Has your chest, that has accepted your
Sadness, weakness... everything,
Borne and carried wounds
That couldn't be seen all this time?

Because I was always able to feel
Your brightness by your side
And not just the scenery over your shoulder
If, someday, I can soothe your wounds again
Even the slightest amount, that would be nice
The iris to you.

君が赤く燃える太陽ならば
僕は夜に咲く青い花
風に揺れて空を見上げては
朝の露に濡れる

手を伸ばして 届かなくて
そんな君が微笑んでる
僕もいつか誰かを守る
強さが欲しい

悲しみも弱さも全て
受け止めてきた胸に
ずっと見えない傷を残し
抱えてきたの?

背中越しの景色じゃなくて
君のその眩しさを
いつか隣で感じられたら
隠していた その傷を
少しでも癒せたならいいな
The Iris to you

幼い頃から 楽しいこと
探すのはすごく得意だった
今日も太陽が優しげに
何もかもを照らす

僕はいつも 真面目すぎて
君がいつも 笑うから
こんな日々が
ずっと続いたなら良いのにな

支えてくれたその腕に
甘えてみてもいいかな
胸の 青い花びらがそっと
散り始めた
どうして今になって全てが
愛しく思えるんだろう
かすむ 景色の先に見えた
泣き笑い
そんな風に
どうか笑わないで欲しいから
The Iris to you

本当はね いつだって
大切で 羨ましくて
ずっと側にいたいんだよ

悲しみも弱さも全て
受け止めてきた胸に
ずっと見えない傷を残し
抱えてきたの?

背中越しの景色じゃなくて
君のその眩しさを
いつもそばで感じてたから
いつかまた その傷を
少しでも癒せたならいいな
The Iris to you
