Mahou

Kanji

君の強い眼差しを僕に下さい
僕がこの先も立ち向かっていける様に
僕には僕でいる理由必要だから
今日も笑顔になれる魔法を飲んだ

涙が溢れ出して何故たか息が詰まる

立ち止まり振り返る事は疲れるから
上を向き歌を口ずさんで
思い出に浸る程壊れたくないから
目を開けて歌を口ずさんでただ進むしかない

もしも僕がこの声を出せなくなったら
君は少しでも僕を思い出すかな
必要って言葉がただ欲しいだけなのに
明日も笑顔になれる魔法に頼る

涙が溢れ出して何故たか息が詰まる

Translation

Give me that strong look of yours
Until now it's like I was good at fighting against it
To me, it IS me - reason, necessity, so
Today, also, I drank in the magic that is the smile I've become used to

Tears start to fall, why am I choking up?

Because standing still and looking back can be tiring,
Looking upward, humming a song
To the extent of soaking in memories because I don't want to be broken
Open your eyes*, I am humming and it only continues

If only I could stop this voice from coming out
The voice is small but I wonder if I'm remembered
Although for you to say the word 'necessary' is my only desire+
Tomorrow, also, I rely on the magic that is the smile I've become used to

Tears start to fall, why am I choking up?

NOTES

*I'm really unsure if the subject here is him or the person he's singing about - but 'me o akete' is usually a request of someone else, so...
+Terrible trouble making this sound right. He's got one wish - that's for the person he's singing about to tell him she needs him.
-The song sounds like going through the pain of still being in love with someone who left you (and hoping that they'll come back).
