Farewell… goodnight… see you again sometime…
I waved at twilight.
Not knowing where I would go home to,
I just walked.

In order to escape the chilling rain,
I rushed under a tree’s shadow and let out a moment’s breath,
As a waning moon fell to darkness.

I expect that I can instantly recall your smiling face,
But it begins to blur with my falling tears…

On sleepless nights, I looked up to the sky,
And the swaying night glow had me burning with love.
When I close my eyes, it’s a sea of memories –
I sink deep, reaching out my hand…

Thousands of years, without fail, I’ll wait for you.

Blown along by a chilling wind,
I hear the sounds of leaves disturbed –
Unable to understand their amassing words,
My body shakes again.

Flowers that tell their story just end up wilting right away –
I’m ceaselessly wishing for something in the process of breaking down.

Unable to sleep, I was clutching my knees,
As I strained my eyes into the fragrant space of darkness.
If I could later return to that forest of solitude,
I’d delve deep and cut off my voice.

Even amidst and immutable winter, I’ll wait for spring.

I expect that I can instantly recall your smiling face,
But it begins to blur with my falling tears…

On sleepless nights, I looked up to the sky,
Connecting the scattered stardust with my fingers,
Seeking the wings of the Swan of the Cross, I reach out my hand…

Thousands of years, without fail, I’ll wait for you.

さよなら　おやすみ　いつかまたね
手を振った夕暮れ
どこへ帰るかもわからないまま
ただ　歩いた

冷たい雨から逃げるように
駆け込んだ木陰で　刹那の息をつき
下弦の月　闇に落ちる

笑った顔は　すぐに思い出せるはずなのに
少しずつ滲んでく　零れ落ちた涙

眠れない夜　見上げた空
揺れる夜光は　身を焦がす
瞳閉じれば　記憶の海
深く沈み　手を伸ばす

幾千年も変わらず　君を待つ

冷たい夜風に　吹かれるまま
騒ぎたつ葉音に
重ねる言葉もわからないまま
またふるえた

紡いだ花は　すぐに枯れてしまうだけなのに
とめどなく望んでる　壊れだした　何か

眠れないまま　かかえた膝
香る闇間に　目を凝らす
後に戻れば　孤独の森
深く潜み　声を断つ

不変の冬の中でも　春を待つ

笑った顔は　すぐに思い出せるはずなのに
少しずつ滲んでく　零れ落ちた涙

眠れない夜　見上げた空
ちりばめられた星屑を指でつないで
十字の鳥　翼求め　手を伸ばす

幾千年も変わらず　君を待つ
