Eir Aoi - Iris Lyrics

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.
