OST. Hyouka : ChouCho – Yasashisa no Riyuu [The Reason for Kindness]

[Romaji]
Taikutsu na madobe ni fuki komu kaze ni
Kao wo shikameta nowa tere kusasa no uragaeshi

Aimai ni unazuku te no hira no kyou
Ega iteru jibun wa sukoshi oogesa de
Nani ka kawari souna ki ga shite iru yo
Kokoro ni yobi kakeru kimi no sei da ne

Kumori zora nozoita yokan
Te wo nobasou itsu yori mo chikara zuyoi yuuki de

Hikari mo kage mo mada tookute sore demo bokura wa
Yasashisa no riyuu ga shiri tai
Ima wa dare no namae demo nai kagayaki no kanata e
Zenbu kako ni naru mae ni mitsuke ni ikou

Kono sekai wa marude tayori nai ne to
Uso buku boku no me wo karakau youni
Kimi ga miteru sora wa nani iro darou?
Kitto aoku takaku kiyoraka na hazu

Sure chigai chika zuki nagara
Itsu no hi ka tomadoi mo uke tomete ike tara

Kotoba no mama ja modo kashikute dakara nando demo
Bukiyou ni kasanete shimau ne
Yorokobi mo kanashimi mo koko de imi ga umareru koto
Futari kizuki hajime teru sono riyuu mo

Kotoba no mama ja modo kashikute
Nando demo bukiyou ni kasanete shimau yo
Koe ni nara nai setsunasa goto
Kono omoi, kimi ni todoke

Hikari mo kage mo mada tookute sore demo bokura wa
Yasashisa no riyuu ga shiri tai
Ima wa dare no namae demo nai kagayaki no kanata e
Zenbu kako ni naru mae ni mitsuke ni ikou

Kimi ga kako ni naru mae ni mitsukeru kara


[Translated]
As I stand by the window, feeling bored, a breeze enters
I frowned at the wind, just to try and hide my embarrassment
Nodding vaguely, drawing today on my palm
I’m exaggerating a little
But it feels like something is about to change
Because you’re calling out to my heart

I had a hunch that I could peek through the cloudy sky
I’ll reach out more strongly, with more courage than usual

The light and shadows are still too far away
Yet we want to know the reason for this kindness
“Now” is not anyone’s name, moving to the shining distant corner
Before everything becomes a part of the past, let’s find them

It seems like this world is really unreliable
You playfully asked, as if you’re making fun of my eyes
What is the color of the sky that you see?
It must be really blue, high and clear

Passing by each other, getting closer
Someday, when we can accept even each other’s hesitations

When words alone are not enough, it’s frustrating
So again and again, we keep adding more words clumsily
Happiness and sorrow, they all find their meaning here
Both of us are starting to realize that and the reason behind it

When words alone are not enough, it’s frustrating
Again and again, we keep adding more words clumsily
Including the pain that I can’t put into words
Let these feelings of mine be sent to you

The light and shadows are still too far away
Yet we want to know the reason for this kindness
“Now” is not anyone’s name, moving to the shining distant corner
Before everything becomes a part of the past, let’s find them

Before you become a part of the past, I’d find you
