[translation]「モノクロの虹」by Ono Daisuke

As with “Akatsuki no Wadachi”, OnoD wrote the lyrics for this song.

「モノクロの虹」/ “Monokuro no Niji” – 小野大輔
“Monochromatic Rainbow” – Ono Daisuke

“I had long forgotten
The sound of laughter and the sting of tears
They faded to black and white
Just like this rainbow…”

Translation:

I had long forgotten
The sound of laughter and the sting of tears
They faded to black and white
Just like this rainbow

We could share any fate between us
Or so I thought

Your hair was dripping wet
Amid the hydrangea
Under a single umbrella

There’s no such thing as a never-ending rain
But you told me that was a lie
That was the beginning of the end

I’m sure you’ll forget about me
Everything fades in time
Even so, our days of overlapping black and white
Will never disappear
Now and forever, I run and I run
To the end of the rainbow

Rainy days like this have their own charm
Or so I finally realized

Water pools in the street
Dancing through the air in your wake
Are drops of silver

A sudden rain will change into a rainbow, you know

Or so I believed
In the depths of my memories

I have never forgotten you
I’m sure you have never forgotten me
After the rain, the sky is dyed seven colors
Dreams will never vanish
Now and forever, I pray and I pray
Looking to that rainbow

I’m sure we understood, you and I
I’m sure we knew all too well
In the photos that fade to black and white
There we are, smiling together

I’m sure I’ll forget you someday
I’ll throw away that umbrella we shared
Even so, our rainbow of overlapping colors
Will never disappear
Now and forever, I run and I run
Now and forever, I laugh and I laugh
As I wipe away my tears
