凍える夜の街角に

誰にも見えぬ影が一つ

裸足の少女がマッチを売る

夢も声も風に消えて

On a street corner on a freezing night,

there is a shadow that no one can see,

a barefoot girl selling matches,

her dreams and voices disappearing in the wind

灯り一つが 笑顔を描く

空腹を忘れた一瞬だけ

けれど世界は 背を向けたまま

誰も彼女を見ようとしない

A single light paints a smile,

for just a moment she forgets her hunger,

but the world turns its back on her,

and no one looks at her.

マッチの火が　彼女の願い

消えぬようにと震える手

温もりさえ 幻のようで

誰か… ただ、気づいて――

The flame of the match is her wish,

her hands trembling so that it won't go out,

even the warmth seems like an illusion,

someone... just notice...

記憶の中の母の顔

「帰っておいで」と優しく言う

燃え尽きそうな細い命

希望と絶望が交差する

Grandmother's face in her memory

gently says "Come home"

Her frail life is burning out

Hope and despair intersect

灯した夢は 煙に変わり

涙の熱も 雪に奪われる

静かな夜が 永遠に続く

その胸に小さな祈りだけ

The lit dreams turn to smoke,

the warmth of her tears is taken away by the snow,

the silent night continues forever,

and in her heart there is only a small prayer

マッチの火が　最後の願い

凍える空へ舞い上がる

誰のために 生きてきたのか

今も…まだ、探してる――

The flame of a match is her final wish,

flying up into the freezing sky.

For whom have she lived?

Even now... she still searching.

街の灯りに溶けていく

少女の声が誰にも届かず

孤独の果てに辿り着いた

その場所は…やさしい光

The girl's voice melts into the city lights,

and no one can hear it.

She reaches the end of loneliness,

and in that place... there is a gentle light.

マッチの火が　彼女の魂

そっと空へと還る時

冷たい世界にひとつだけ

残る　灯火の記憶

The flame of the match is her soul

gently returns to the sky,

the memory of a single light

remains in this cold world.

"Grandma, it's warm..."

マッチの火が 静かに消えた――

The match flame quietly went out...

(静かに消えた)

(quietly went out...)
