I have no comments; I can only shake and cry.

ジョンレノン聞きながら　東京　初雪の夜
あの日の君と僕が窓辺に
白く降りつもるのを見てた

シャボン玉われるような　短かい恋だったけど
写真さえ残ってないけど
あの冬は僕にとって特別だった

取りたての免許　助手席で君が
雪の降る街へ行きましょう
見えない明日なら　かまわない　この場所から連れ出して

コバルトブルーの世界　真白なピアノのメロディー
空から舞い降りてくる
水晶をつかまえに行こう　君と二人で

何もない日々にとけていくだけの
ギリギリの心で抱き合えば
見えない明日さえ　かまわない　この場所から連れて逃げて

コバルトブルーの世界　真白なピアノのメロディー
空から舞い降りてくる
あの日僕ら本当に見たのさ

コバルトブルーのキスを交わした時　聞えたメロディー
何故だかわからないけど
水晶の涙がこぼれた　粉雪の上に

蒼い蒼い街明り　東京　初雪の夜
あの日のメロディーが窓辺に
白く降りつもるのを見てた

Listening to John Lennon while the first snow fell in Tokyo
By the window with you
We watched the white snow piling up

Our love was short, like a bubble bursting
I don’t even have any pictures left
But that winter is still special to me

I got my license, and with you in the passenger seat
We went together to that snowy town
If we can’t see tomorrow, it doesn’t matter – we’ll still leave this place together

When it thaws, nothing is left
But if we hold on to till last second…
If we can’t see tomorrow, it doesn’t matter – we’ll still run away together

In a cobalt blue world, a piano plays a pure white melody
It keeps falling on us from above
We watched it fall that day

I could hear music when we exchanged cobalt blue kisses
Though I still don’t know why
On the powdery snow, your tears fell like crystals

The city is bathed in blue, in blue beneath the first snow in Tokyo
By the window, I hear the melody from that day
And I watch the white snow pile up

I never realized he said "John Lennon" in this song, another of my favorite people. :) And the first word he says, too.

Thanks!

I totally fell in love with this song the first time I heard it. It's just so... beautiful ;_;

Searched high and low for the lyrics & trans, thank you for being my savior :)

thank you so much.

this is my favorite sakamoto solo song. at first i like it because of the melody and his voice but the lyrics was really lovely and with your translation i've come to fully appreciate it more.

otsukaresama deshita!
