1.
Left by a plane across the azure sky,
The whiteness of the clouds has drawn out a line,
And further leaving goes on,
And aimless always goes on,
As though it knew tomorrow so well.
a o zo ra ni sen wo hi ku
hi ko u ki gu mo no shi ro sa wa
zu tto do ko ma de mo
zu tto tsu zu i te ku
a su wo shi tte ta mi ta i
青空に線を引く
飛行機曇の白さは
ずっとどこまでも
ずっと続いてく
明日を知ってたみたい

2.
To my bosom I draw in quick and shallow breath,
And remember gentle breeze and hot cheeks of mine
That the wind has cooled.
mu ne de a sa ku i ki wo shi te ta
a tsu i ho o sa ma shi ta ka ze mo
o bo e te ru
胸で浅く息をしてた
熱い頬さました風も
おぼえてる

3.
Towards the future coming close,
Frozen are my hands and feet,
But by a quiet voice
They’ll be freed again.
mi ra i no ma e ni
su ku mu te a shi wa
shi zu ka na ko e ni
ho do ka re te
未来の前に
すくむ手足は
静かな声に
ほどかれて

4.
And I almost want to scream,
For so terribly I miss
The one and only life,
When atop your shoulder shone
Midsummer Sun,
Casting beams
Of swaying light
Amongst the leaves.
sa ke bi ta i ho do
na tsu ka shi i no wa
hi to tsu no i no chi
ma na tsu no hi ka ri
a na ta no
ka ta ni
yu re te ta
ko mo re bi
叫びたいほど
懐かしいのは
一つの命
真夏の光
貴方の
肩に
揺れてた
木漏れ日

5.
The white ball punctured and deflated
And petals scattered by a gale of wind
Are carried by the river
Invisible to humans,
That singing all the while flows faraway.
tsu bu re ta shi ro i bo o ru
ka ze ga chi ra shi ta ha na bi ra
fu ta tsu wo u ka be te
mi e na i ka wa wa
u ta i na ga ra na ga re te ku
つぶれた白いボール
風が散らした花びら
二つを浮かべて
見えない川は
歌いながら流れてく

6.
Joyful moments, and lies we tell, and secrets kept
Are the children of the deity that gave birth
To the universe.
hi mi tsu mo u so mo yo ro ko bi mo
u chu u wo un da ka mi sa ma no
ko do mo ta chi
秘密も嘘も喜びも
宇宙を生んだ神様の
子供達
