Roots
MEGARYU Lyrics

どれくらい経つだろうあれから
I wonder how much time has passed since then

最後に帰り過ごした日から
From the day I spent my last moments there

走馬灯の様に浮かび上がる日々
Days that resurface like a revolving lantern

色あせないで今も残る
They remain vivid and unchanged even today

誰にもある自分だけにとっての懐かしい風景
A nostalgic scenery that is unique to oneself but common to everyone

ふと見たことあるような場所で一人たたずんで
Standing alone in a place that seems familiar

遠い目をして 戻せない時間の流れ感じながら
Feeling the unreturnable flow of time with a distant look

忘れそうだった 生まれ育ったあの町の香り 思い出す
Recalling the scent of the town where I was born and raised, which I was about to forget

夏になるとにぎやかな蝉の音
The lively sound of cicadas in the summer

澄み切った川の流れ山が教える季節の変わり目
The clear flow of the river and the seasonal changes taught by the mountains

穏やかな時の中で夜空を見上げて手を伸ばせば届きそうな星の数
In peaceful times, looking up at the night sky and counting the number of stars that seem within reach if you stretch out your hand

何でも願い叶いそうなそんな瞬間があったはず
There surely were moments when it felt like any wish could come true

当たり前に身の周りにいつもあった見慣れていたもの
Things that were always around me and familiar to the point of being taken for granted

今思うとその素晴らしさが心揺らす
Now, realizing how wonderful they were, it moves my heart

昔はその故郷の言葉心のどっかで恥ずかしく思った
I used to feel embarrassed about my hometown's dialect somewhere in my heart

でもいつかあらためて聞くと温かく耳に響くものさ
But, listening to it again someday, it sounds warm and resonates in my ears

暮らした町出会った人達が居て育まれたものがある
There are people I met and things I grew up with in the town I lived in

どれも欠ける事なく全ての歯車が噛み合って今がある
All of them fit together perfectly like gears, without anything missing, creating the present

あの土の匂い乾いたアスファルトとは違い心落ち着く
The scent of that soil is different from the dry asphalt and it calms the mind

人とすれ違えば笑顔で挨拶そんな時の中に戻りたくなる
If I pass by someone, I want to go back to those times when people greeted each other with a smile

あの頃とは全く違う自分に染まっていても
Even though I am now completely different from that time

あの頃とは姿の違う町になったとしても変わらないそこにROOTSがあって
Even if the town has a different appearance from back then, the unchanging roots still exist

まっすぐな心のままで少年少女だった時代を今も映し出す
Still reflecting the time of childhood when I had a pure and innocent heart

誰にもある自分だけにとっての懐かしい風景
A nostalgic scenery that is unique to oneself but common to everyone

ふと見たことあるような場所で一人たたずんで
Standing alone in a place that seems familiar

遠い目をして 戻せない時間の流れ感じながら
Feeling the unreturnable flow of time with a distant look

忘れそうだった 生まれ育ったあの町の香り 思い出す
Recalling the scent of the town where I was born and raised, which I was about to forget

誰にもある自分だけにとっての懐かしい風景
A nostalgic scenery that is unique to oneself but common to everyone

ふと見たことあるような場所で一人たたずんで
Standing alone in a place that seems familiar

遠い目をして 戻せない時間の流れ感じながら
Feeling the unreturnable flow of time with a distant look

忘れそうだった 生まれ育ったあの町の香り 思い出す
Recalling the scent of the town where I was born and raised, which I was about to forget
