Niji (Rainbow)

L'Arc-En-Ciel ~ Niji (Rainbow) Lyrics

*Japanese Version*

toki ha kanadete omoi ha afureru 

togiresou na hodo toumei na koe ni 

arukidashita sono hitomi he 

hateshinai mirai ga tsuzuiteru

hontou ha totemo kokoro ha moroku 

daremo ga hibiwareteiru 

furidashita ame ni nurete 

kimi ha mata tachidomatteshimau kedo 

shinjite kureru kara 

dare yori takaku sora he to chikazuku 

kagayaki wo atsume hikari wo motometeru 

moetsukite mo kamawanai sa

subete ha shinjitsu to tomo ni aru

'shounen ha hito no kage ni yuganda nikushimi wo mita' 

sonna sekai ni nante mou nanimo mitakunai yo

nanimo! nanimo! nanimo!

kioku no tenbin ni kaketa

hitotsu no kizu ga tsuriau ni ha 

hyaku no ai wo you suru...

keredo kokoro ha kaigan no ishi no you

nami ni nomare, takusan no kizu wo eru koto ni yori

ai ha keisei sareteyuku

sore demo omou anata no koto wo 

kisetsu ga nagareteite mo... 

me wo tojite itsumo miteta fuukei no you ni 

nandome ka no ame mo agatta 

setsunai hito yo kanawanu negai yo

naze kono mune kara ai ha umareteyuku? 

sakimidareta hana ha yurete 

shizunda daichi ni furisosogu

ai wo toki ha kanadete omoi ha afureru 

togiresou na hodo toumei na koe ni

arukidashita sono hitomi he

owaranai mirai wo sasageyou

(chorus)

stairway to heaven 

labyrinth to heart

*English Version*

Time plays, the feelings overflow

I began to walk,

to a voice so faint and wispy

to your eyes, 

the endless future goes on. 

the truth is, the heart is a very fragile thing

we've all got cracks. 

wet by a sudden downpour, 

you've come to a standstill again but, 

because you believe me

I'll get closer to the sky, higher than anyone 

gathering bits of glimmer, I want the light

even if I burn myself out, it doesn't matter

all is with truth 

'the boy saw a twisted hatred in the shadows of others' 

I don't want to see anything of such a world. 

Nothing! Nothing! Nothing!

it takes one hundred loves,

to balance one scratch

on the scales of memory...

but the heart is like a rock on the shore

swallowed by the waves,

love will take shape

through the many scratches.

yet still I think of you
