Delta Lyrics in English by King Gnu

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Delta by King Gnu from Japanese to English.
時には誰かを 知らず知らずのうちに
toki ni wa dare ka o shirazushirazu no uchi ni
Sometimes, without even realizing it
傷つけてしまったり
kizutsuketeshimattari
we end up hurting someone
失ったりして初めて
ushinattarishite hajimete
and only once we've lost them
犯した罪を知る
okashita tsumi o shiru
do we realize the sins we've committed
戻れないよ 昔のようには
modorenai yo mukashi no you ni wa
I can't go back to how things were
煌めいて見えたとしても
kirameite mieta to shitemo
even if it seems to sparkle
明日へと歩き出さなきゃ
ashita e to arukidasanakya
I've got to start walking toward tomorrow
雪が降り頻ろうとも
yuki ga furishikirou to mo
even if the snow keeps falling hard
今の僕には何ができるの?
ima no boku ni wa nani ga dekiru no
What can I do as I am now?
何になれるの?
nani ni nareru no
What can I become?
誰かのために生きるなら
dare ka no tame ni ikiru nara
If you live for someone else
正しいことばかり言ってらんないよな
tadashii koto bakari itterannai yo na
you can't just keep saying what's right, can you?
どこかの街で また出逢えたら
doko ka no machi de mata deaetara
If we meet again in some town somewhere
僕の名前を覚えていますか?
boku no namae o oboeteimasu ka
Will you still remember my name?
その頃にはきっと
sono koro ni wa kitto
By then, I'm sure
春風が吹くだろう
harukaze ga fuku darou
The spring wind will be blowing
真っ新に生まれ変わって
massara ni umarekawatte
Even if I'm reborn brand new
人生一から始めようが
jinsei ichi kara hajimeyou ga
And start my life over from scratch
へばりついて離れない
hebaritsuite hanarenai
It clings to me and won't let go
地続きの今を歩いているんだ
jitsuzuki no ima o aruiteirunda
I'm walking through a present that's connected to the past
真っ白に全てさよなら
masshiro ni subete sayonara
Goodbye to everything, wiped pure white
降りしきる雪よ
furishikiru yuki yo
Oh, snow that keeps on falling
全てを包み込んでくれ
subete o tsutsumikondekure
Wrap everything up for me
今日だけは全てを隠してくれ
kyou dake wa subete o kakushitekure
Just for today, hide everything away
もう戻れないよ 昔のようには
mou modorenai yo mukashi no you ni wa
I can't go back anymore to how things were
羨んでしまったとしても
urayandeshimatta to shitemo
Even if I end up envious
明日へと歩き出さなきゃ
ashita e to arukidasanakya
I've got to start walking toward tomorrow
雪が降り頻ろうとも
yuki ga furishikirou to mo
even if the snow keeps falling hard
いつものように笑ってたんだ
itsumo no you ni warattetanda
I was smiling like always
分かり合えると思ってたんだ
wakariaeru to omottetanda
I thought we could understand each other
曖昧なサインを見落として
aimaina sain o miotoshite
I missed the vague signs
途方のない間違い探し
tohou no nai machigaisagashi
An endless game of spot the difference
季節を越えて また出逢えたら
kisetsu o koete mata deaetara
If we meet again beyond the seasons
君の名前を呼んでもいいかな
kimi no namae o yondemoii ka na
Would it be okay to call your name?
その頃にはきっと
sono koro ni wa kitto
By then, I'm sure
春風が吹くだろう
harukaze ga fuku darou
The spring wind will be blowing
真っ新に生まれ変わって
massara ni umarekawatte
Even if I'm reborn brand new
人生一から始めようが
jinsei ichi kara hajimeyou ga
And start my life over from scratch
首の皮一枚繋がった
kubi no kawa ichimai tsunagatta
Hanging on by a thread
如何しようも無い今を 生きていくんだ
doushiyoumonai ima o ikiteikunda
I'll go on living in this hopeless present
真っ白に全てさよなら
masshiro ni subete sayonara
Goodbye to everything, wiped pure white
降りしきる雪よ
furishikiru yuki yo
Oh, snow that keeps on falling
今だけはこの心を凍らせてくれ
ima dake wa kono kokoro o koorasetekure
Just for now, freeze this heart of mine
全てを忘れさせてくれよ
subete o wasuresasetekure yo
Let me forget everything
朝目覚めたら どっかの誰かに
asa mezametara dokka no dare ka ni
When I wake up in the morning, I wonder if
なってやしないかな
natteyashinai ka na
I'll have turned into somebody else
なれやしないよな
nareyashinai yo na
No, I never could
聞き流してくれ
kikinagashitekure
Just pretend you didn't hear that
忙しない日常の中で
sewashinai nichijou no naka de
In the middle of my restless days
歳だけを重ねた
toshi dake o kasaneta
All I've piled up is years
その向こう側に
sono mukougawa ni
On the other side of that
待ち受けるのは天国か地獄か
machiukeru no wa tengoku ka jigoku ka
Is it heaven or hell that's waiting for me?
いつだって人は鈍感だもの
itsu datte hito wa donkan da mono
People are always so oblivious
わかりゃしないんだ肚の中
wakaryashinainda hara no naka
You can never tell what's really in someone's heart
それでも愛し愛され
soredemo aishi aisare
Even so, loving and being loved
生きて行くのが定めと知って
ikiteiku no ga sadame to shitte
Knowing it's our fate to go on living
後悔ばかりの人生だ
koukai bakari no jinsei da
It's a life full of nothing but regret
取り返しのつかない過ちの
torikaeshi no tsukanai ayamachi no
Mistakes you can never take back
一つや二つくらい
hitotsu ya futatsu kurai
One or two of them, at least
誰にでもあるよな
dare ni demo aru yo na
Everybody's got them, right?
そんなんもんだろう
sonnan mon darou
That's just how it is, I guess
うんざりするよ
unzari suru yo
I'm sick of it
真っ新に生まれ変わって
massara ni umarekawatte
Even if I'm reborn brand new
人生一から始めようが
jinsei ichi kara hajimeyou ga
And start my life over from scratch
へばりついて離れない
hebaritsuite hanarenai
It clings to me and won't let go
地続きの今を歩いて行くんだ
jitsuzuki no ima o aruiteikunda
I'll keep walking through a present that's connected to the past
真っ白に全てさようなら
masshiro ni subete sayounara
Goodbye to everything, wiped pure white
降りしきる雪よ
furishikiru yuki yo
Oh, snow that keeps on falling
全てを包み込んでくれ 今日だけは
subete o tsutsumikondekure kyou dake wa
Wrap everything up for me, just for today
全てを隠してくれ
subete o kakushitekure
Hide everything away
