【歌詞&和訳】
I have climbed the highest mountains
I have run through the fields
Only to be with you
Only to be with you
I have run, I have crawled
I have scaled these city walls
These city walls
Only to be with you
最も高い山を登った
地上を走り抜けた
ただ君といるためだけに
ただ君といるためだけに
走った、地を這った
この街の壁を越えた
ただ君といるためだけに
But I still haven't found
What I'm looking for
But I still haven't found
What I'm looking for
でも探し物はまだ見つからない
でも探し物はまだ見つからない
I have kissed honey lips
Felt the healing in her finger tips
It burned like fire
This burning desire
I have spoke with the tongue of angels
I have held the hand of a devil
It was warm in the night
I was cold as a stone
甘い唇にキスをした
君の指先に癒しを感じた
それは炎のように燃えたんだ
この燃え上がる欲望を
天使の舌で話した
悪魔の手を握った
その暖かい夜に
僕は石のように冷たかった
But I still haven't found
What I'm looking for
But I still haven't found
What I'm looking for
でも探し物はまだ見つからない
でも探し物はまだ見つからない
I believe in the Kingdom Come
Then all the colours will bleed into one
Bleed into one
But yes, I'm still running
You broke the bonds
And you loosed the chains
Carried the cross of my shame
Oh my shame, you know I believe it
天国を信じるよ
そこでは全ての色が一つに混ざり合うと
一つになると
でも、そう、僕は走り続けている
君は絆を壊し
鎖を断ち切った
僕の恥の十字架を背負った
僕は信じているよ
But I still haven't found
What I'm looking for
But I still haven't found
What I'm looking for
でも探し物はまだ見つからない
でも探し物はまだ見つからない
