Requested by Anacoonda ages ago, this song has some awkward grammar going on -so much so that it was painful at some points. I was able to guess who the lyricist for this was based solely on that: the one known for strange structure. くまりす, the Shuriken of EastNewSound. Still nowhere near the real Shuriken’s level of lyric confusion though, that stuff is nuts, but relative to the rest of the ENS crew, it’s a fitting title.
It also seems that Maiko has already translated this song here, if you want another perspective.

ah 白い砂 寄せる波 流れ着く琥珀色と
降り注ぐ暗い雨崩れ落ち泡の中
ah shiroi suna yoseru nami nagare tsuku kohaku iro to
furi sosogu kurai ame kuzure ochi awa no naka
Ah, the white sand, the incoming waves, the colours of amber washing ashore
and the downpouring dark rain fall in the bubbles
ah積み重ねた時代のなか 変わらない何もかも
落としてきた大事なもの 今更気づいても
ah tsumi kasaneta jidai no naka kawaranai nani mo kamo
otoshite kita daiji na mono ima sara kidzuitemo
Ah, in this era where it’s all gathered up, not a thing changes
Even if after all this time I notice the important things I lost
瞬くこの地平で瞳を刺す光
生まれてきた理由も知らない 「モトメテ」
出会いと別れからも覚えた感情と
ひとしきりに溢れた嗚咽は 「アイシテ」
matataku kono chihei de hitomi o sasu hikari
umarete kita riyuu mo shiranai 「motomete」
deai to wakare kara mo oboeta kanjou to
hitoshikiri ni afureta oetsu wa 「aishite」
On this sparkling horizon, the light pierces my eyes
I don’t even know why I was born, “then seek”
The feelings I learned from meetings, even from goodbyes,
and the sobs that temporarily flooded out, “love them”
ah とりとめのない言葉一人傷ついていても
何気ない一言で気持ちが湧き交わる
ah toritome no nai kotoba hitori kizutsuiteitemo
nani ge nai hitokoto de kimochi ga waki majiwaru
Ah, even if I’m hurt alone by unwanted words
with just a few simple words my feelings cross with excitement
ah触れた肌と絡む指に伝わるその思いも
求められたその居場所は自分じゃなくていい
ah fureta hada to karamu yubi ni tsutawaru sono omoi mo
motomerareta sono ibasho wa jibun janakute ii
Ah, even if the home that was saught for and the thoughts passed down
through the skin I touched and entwined fingers aren’t my own it’s fine
幾度と繰り返す惰性さえ心地よい
無益にさえ思えた煙の行く末
ikudo to kuri kaesu dasei sae kokochiyoi
mueki ni sae omoeta kemuri no yukusue
Even the countlessly repeating habits are pleasant
The future of the smoke I even thought was pointless
愛と云う形無い花
ai to iu katachi nai hana
A flower without form called love
瞬くこの地平で瞳を刺す光
生まれてきた理由も知らない 「モトメテ」
出会いと別れからも覚えた感情と
ひとしきりに溢れた嗚咽は 「アイシテ」
matataku kono chihei de hitomi o sasu hikari
umarete kita riyuu mo shiranai 「motomete」
deai to wakare kara mo oboeta kanjou to
hitoshikiri ni afureta oetsu wa 「aishite」
On this sparkling horizon, the light pierces my eyes
I don’t even know why I was born, “then seek”
The feelings I learned from meetings, even goodbyes,
and the sobs that temporarily flooded out, “love them”
