Can you feel the POWER OF WORDS?
Bokura no omoi wa meikaku na kotoba ni naranai mama
shizundeku kanjou no hou ga ooi darou
kokoro o tozashi aruku wake janakutemo
Can you feel the POWER OF WORDS?
Our feelings still can't be clearly defined in words
Depression is more common perhaps (1)
Even if it's no reason to walk with your heart closed (2)
Taisetsu ni kakaetekita yowai kokoro ni
bukiyou na koe ga narihibiku
nanimokamo ga bokura no kokoro no uchi de yugamerareru mae ni (3)
In the weak heart you are carrying carefully
A clumsy voice cries out
no matter what, before it becomes distorted deep within our hearts
the POWER OF WORDS makes you
sakendemiru n da kanashii kurai ni kagirinai sora ni
kibou mo shitsubou mo kono kokoro ni matowari karamiau omoi no subete o
Let all your feelings run free
the POWER OF WORDS makes you
want to shout out loud, into the sky so endless it's painful
hope and despair both, everything of the feelings that twist together and entwine
Let all your feelings run free
Itsukara ka usonaki o oboe itsushika tsukuriwarai o oboeru
sou shite jibun o tekitou ni narinagara
ikitetari suru n darou ne
From when did we remember how to cry false tears? Before we knew it we remembered how to force laughter
I think in that way you are only
living while changing halfheartedly
Hito no ma o kakiwake kokoro kayowasete wa
mata sukoshi tomadoi nagara
nanimokamo ga kijun no nai moraru ni de yugamerareru mae ni
The frailty of heart pushing through the space between people
While hesitating a little
before anything at all can become distorted into a moral with no basis
the POWER OF WORDS makes you
sakendemiru n da ima ni mo suikomaresou na sora ni
dareka to kowasu kotoba ga mata genjitsu to risou no kabe ni hanekaeri
kokoro tsukisashitekuru no darou keredo mou soko kara nigetaku wa nai
ikiteku tayori ni naru kate o subete no kanjou ga ataetekureru kara
Let all your feelings run free
the POWER OF WORDS makes you
want to shout out loud, into the sky that seems like even now it could suck you in
words exchanged with someone again, rebound against the wall between reality and ideals
perhaps it will come to pierce my heart, however, I don't want to run away from that anymore
because the feelings give me all the provision I can rely on to keep living
Let all your feelings run free
the POWER OF WORDS makes you
sakendemiru n da kanashii kurai ni kagirinai sora ni
umakune sakebezu tatoe ga naru koto shika dekinai no nara sore demo ii
the POWER OF WORDS makes you
sakendemiru n da ima ni mo suikomaresou na sora ni
yobiokose! koko ni kotoba no chikara o mada jibun o miushinatte irarenai
Can you feel the POWER OF WORDS?
the POWER OF WORDS makes you
want to shout out loud, into the sky so endless it's painful
If you can't shout skillfully, if it becomes that you can make nothing but metaphors even that is fine (4)
the POWER OF WORDS makes you
want to shout out loud, into the sky that seems like even now it could suck you in
Call it forth! The power of words still won't let you lose sight of yourself

Notes;
1) the verb 'shizumu' can be used to mean 'to sink' as well, so shizundeku kanjou could also be translated as a 'sinking feeling'
2) kokoro o tozasu can also mean to plunge your heart in grief
3) where she sings 'uchi' is the kanji for 'uchigawa' which doesn't change the meaning much, both of them mean inside or within
4) tatoe can also mean simile, allegories, examples
