Don't Leave Me Even a Single Sorrow

Versions: #1
The steam whistle blows so curtly.
'We're here already,' says the one journeying.
If I cry, it's painful. If I laugh, even moreso.
So don't leave me even a single sorrow.
 
Parting with your family, separating from your friend.
'Wherever I live, I will be me.'
You had best stop thinking like that.
Call yourself the wheel tracks of your life.
 
I loathe all these sad things,
and yet for us, it's only ever goodbyes.
Don't go anywhere,
live in this town forever.
Adding years on until we die,
I want us to live life laughing.
 
If you can, get out quietly please.
And don't leave me even a single sorrow.
 
The one journeying has such little baggage.
Such little homesickness and so few unforgettable memories too,
because he leaves everything behind at the starting station.
Aomori station is littered with sentiments.
 
'A dream is a dream,' he bragged.
But someone said that a dream is one because it's granted.
Don't lend an ear to those who've realized their dreams.
If it's your dream, then dream it.
 
I loathe all these painful things,
and yet we are only ever fighting.
Don't go anywhere,
live in this town forever.
Adding years on until we die,
I want us to live life laughing.
 
If you can, get out quietly please.
And don't leave me even a single sorrow.
 
You fighters, heal your wounds.
You must not fall mid-battle.
You say 'This life isn't so precious,'
but someone who holds you dear is right here.
 
The road before you is long, but the end will come quickly.
It's only from when you start hurrying that everything begins.
I don't know what'll happen from now on.
That's everything that I wanted to say.
 
I loathe all these lonesome things,
and yet we are only ever setting out on our journeys.
Don't go anywhere,
live in this town forever.
Adding years on until we die,
I want us to live life laughing.
 
The steam whistle is blowing, so I'm going to go too.
Don't leave me even a single sorrow.
Don't leave me even a single sorrow.
 

Far away from happiness

I'm far away from happiness
in my dreams the same wars stir again
your love dies out
into the rising fog
far away from happiness
 
Into the murky rumble of the night
your gaze turns
you don't have faith in the song of the swallows
you don't hear my dreams
 
You say
ahead awaits
an austere future
it can no longer be helped
it's already been forever
 
I hear the sounds of a great celebration
but I see your solemn gaze
despite all the omens piling up in full view
no one believes your words
 
Ahead awaits
an austere future
it can no longer be helped
it's already been forever
 
Wake me up from this dream
 
I'm far away from happiness
far away from happiness
far away
 

Wings

I cannot claim if I'm tired to live
Or I'm tired to await you
You, coming like a deer
Either in dawn or dusk?
 
Tell me, are you happy afar?
Are you peaceful, is your heart merry?
 
Should your head stay on my laps?
Should you once more throe in my bed
Who asks, eh my life, who thinks?
Whether is it late or early
 
Tell me, are you happy afar?
Are you peaceful, is your heart merry?
 
The wings in sky were ours, we didn't know
Is this levity from the wings or a sail?
We couldn't know, we couldn't, ye god!
In solitude, is there a pair of us now?
 
Tell me, are you happy afar?
Are you peaceful, is your heart merry?
 
How would I know if you tell me to come furtively
Is there someone who got used to it, or is it just me?
Have I been drunk by your chalice
Or theirs?
 
Tell me, are you happy afar?
Are you peaceful, is your heart merry?
 

Canary

To the point that I felt nostalgic over those mundane days
In the smoke-stained, sinking night
I looked upon the flowers
 
Walking with you through the stuffy air
And the smiling face I saw as I looked back
For some reason I remembered these things
 
On the white promenade that everyone forgets, that the canary sings on in the end of April
I think I want to remember that your fingertips were trembling
 
It's OK, if it's with you it's OK
Even if I can't return to this place again
If I'm with you, it's OK
Let's walk together until the end
 
You pick up the glass that tumbled down and shattered
In those eyes of yours I could see tears
And still you said nothing
 
In the corners of the lake-shore where the foliage resounds, and the canary disappears at the end of May
I think that I really want to support you, more than anything
 
It's OK, because it's you it's OK
Even if no one were to find us
Since it's you, it's OK
Towards the beckoning voice of the fluttering wind
 
Both me and you, we'll probably change
We'll sometimes quarrel, and maybe hurt each other
But losing each other we will fall in love again
And I want us to make sure of that
 
It's OK, if it's with you it's OK
Even if there was nothing at the end,
It's OK
 
It's OK, because it's you it's OK
Even if no one were to find us
Since it's you, it's OK
Let's walk together until the end
 
Towards the beckoning voice of the fluttering wind
 

The Flower and I

I'll give you one of my eyes, so please give me one of yours1
A flower that I haven't seen yet - Searching for a new season
 
My silent self is a flower - saying goodbye to the people that pass by
Even though I shouldn't be able to do anything I look a bit off into the distance
My worries stacked up like blocks
I'll forget it all in the morning - right away
 
The night extends its hand and pulls gently - because it has something else to say
Basically that my eyes are flowers - searching
 
Even though I shouldn't need anything I inadvertently look at the flower outside
Even though I shouldn't need anything I pick it without hesitation
The books piled up on the table
Have flowers pressed inside that I don't even know the name of
 
The night extends its hand and pulls gently - because it has something else to say
Basically that my eyes are flowers - searching
 
I extend my hand and pull gently - because of all these things that never change
I always closed my eyes and ran away
 
The night extends its hand and pulls gently - The words that it has tried to say so many time are
My words as I started walking - That was it

New Treasure Island

Versions: #1
I drew the next line, then another and another
I will draw the destination, the destination
Treasure Island
 
If I take you with me like this
I'll carefully, carefully, carefully draw
With trembling and shaking lines
I'll carefully, carefully, carefully draw
That's what I've decided
 
This still isn't our destination and neither is the next stop or the next stop
We're looking for the scenery, the scenery of dreams
Treasure Island
 
If I take you with me like this
I'll carefully, carefully, carefully sing
Even if I'm trembling and shaking
I'll carefully, carefully, carefully sing
But I've decided
 
I'll take you with me like this

Even if I'm trembling and shaking
I'll carefully, carefully, carefully sing
 
And even then I'll take you with me
With trembling and shaking lines
I'll write your song
 

Native Dancer

Even if that sky forgets me someday
At that time, somewhere I'll wait for the snow to fall
The seasons always pass by us
But our memories stay frozen - just like flowers in the winter
 
Even if I'm there, the last thing I recall is hardship
My heart, will take years and years and the dirt caked on will fall off
I remembered that thing - in the far end of this town
Words upon words start repeating and spinning around
 
We shook on that faint day - just shook
That's how we felt
And we fell just like memories - we just fell
Yeah, we became the snow 1

Even if that sky forgets me someday
At that time, I'll wait for you in a town somewhere
The things we've been piling upon the seasons

Identity

I have no identity - I was never born lalalala
I have no identity - I was never born lalalala
 
What kind of clothes do you like? What kind of books do you like? What kind of food do you like?
Yeah, I'm the average kind of person who brings up stuff like that
 
I compare myself to the person next to me in the reflections in the store window
Yeah, I live my life thinking to myself that that's alright
 
Why? Why is it that just now, just now I am thinking like this?
Why? Will the sun ever rise on the still unseen truth of who I truly am?
 
I have no identity - I was never born lalalala
I have no identity - I was never born lalalala
 
The girl who waited for the wind - Her shirt is wet from the morning rain
Yeah, the events of the past are my unrefined memories
 
I realize when I recall things like the unexpected defeats of my teen years
I realized that's the pure truth of who I really am
 
Why? Why has it taken so long, taken so long, for me to realize this?
Why? I've started to understand the once unseen truth of who I truly am
 
Lalalalala lalalalala lalalala lalalala
 
Why is it that even though I want to scream, to scream, that I am crying?
Why is it that even though I want to realize this, that I am crying?
 
Why? Lalalalala
 

All because I listened to Bach at night

It's all because I listened to Bach at night
That's why my heart is like this
It's all because I listened to Bach at night
That's why my heart is like this
 
Why? Though I'm so used to the moon
Why? Though I'm drawn in by the moon
When I tried to start walking
It's like you grabbed me by my clothes and told me to wait
 
It's all because I listened to Bach at night
That's why my heart is like this
It's all because I listened to Bach at night
That's why my heart is like this
 
Why? Though you're so used to the moon
Why? Though you looked at the moon
I recalled your face
Standing silently on my left side
 
Your fickle color
That lukewarm color that blows into the room
The cello that rings numbingly against the wall
I'll probably forget it right away

The cello that rings numbingly against the wall
I'll probably forget it right away

Probably the Wind

Hey, that girl whose short hair fluttered
Has really caught my attention - for some reason
 
The upbeat flick of the wind
Just got some sand in my mouth
 
A gust of wind that laps
A footpath that anyone would forget
 
That moment when I passed
That girl I didn't know on her bike
 
The slightly passionate gaze I gave to her as the wind blew
The actions that left me flustered
 
The slightly passionate gaze I gave to her as the wind blew
This season that left me flustered
 
If only I could take it with me
 
Hey, that girl whose short hair fluttered
The hair that was about to go in my mouth
 
And the quiet downbeat of the wind just now
Tangled up in this moment
 
The girl who rode on that footpath is probably the wind
Those actions that left me flustered are probably the wind
 
The slightly passionate gaze I gave to her as the wind blew
The actions that left me flustered
 
The slightly passionate gaze I gave to her as the wind blew
This season that left me flustered
 
If only I could take it with me
 

How to Protect You, Who Won't Cry

You stopped crying in front of me.
Is everything alright now? I wondered.
 
Living this way is terribly painful, isn’t it?
Even when you slip up, you never show weakness in front of people.
 
Nothing is alright.
Not at all, with no exception.
I failed to notice that
not once did you place the blame on me.
 
You stopped crying in front of me.
Since when has this been the case? I pondered.
 
Despite the fact that I can’t afford it,
I guess I’m good at caring for others.
Just lending an ear, never teaching myself anything.
 
How to protect you, who won't cry,
is something I search for wholeheartedly.
You laid down your might,
waiting for me to make a move.
 
You stopped crying in front of me.
You lost the ability to do so.
 
How to protect you, who wants to cry -
in order to find it, I draw closer.
If only very slightly,
you remember how to shed tears.
 
Let me protect you, who won't cry.
 

Canary

You are kept to receive love of people
You reply to them with your beautiful voice and feathers
Canary, canary, canary
Canary, canary, canary
A bandit makes you sing in the party at night
While waiting for a long letter from a princess
Canary, canary, canary
Canary, canary, canary
 
Tell me who you dreamed about the most
Tell me who you were in love with the most
Tell me the name of the man you loved the most
 
Boys would take you out to call in the spring
Old men would lure you into meditation
Canary, canary, canary
Canary, canary, canary
The cage still decorates a corner of the room
No one knows where the key of the gate is
Canary, canary, canary
Canary, canary, canary
 
Tell me who you dreamed about the most
Tell me who you were in love with the most
Tell me the name of the man you loved the most
Canary, canary, canary
Canary, canary, canary
 

Don't go

Saying 'It's nothing' I held my tongue
Though really I wanted to stop for a minute
But you walk ahead gently with quick steps
And I just watch on
 
You ride on the last train and leave me behind
I begin to run and the ground slowly starts to move away
I can't cry, I can't cry, but really I want to tell you
'Don't go'
 
You disappear into the distance, leaving me behind
I can't see you at all, and the night crumbles away
I can't cry, I can't cry, but really I want to tell you
'Don't go'
 
When the festival ends, as always
I knew that the unchanging night would come
But you looked more amorous that ever
And I just watched on
 
Only time moves along, leaving me behind
The road home is dark, but I think I'll be fine by myself
Lit by the streetlights, shadows emerge
This is solitude
 
You disappear into the distance, leaving me behind
And some other time, the night will show through
I can't cry, I can't cry, but really I want to tell you
'Don't go'
 
I can't cry, I can't cry, but really I want to tell you
'Don't go'
 

Two gaints

Versions: #1
Don't move, you are really from stone.
And rocking - is not a salvation for you
If those two giants will quarrel,
The earth will start up to jump.
What's the hint,
 
For the grand eyes will not cool down.
They fire themselves from inside.
 
With fired the temples they move.
Aside from the idols of paper
Not annoy them to pleat their hands.
All the hope for those two giants,
(Who) have splashed their mind on the move.
Don't move! - will be as it's been.
They will pass us slowly
by
Following them, low Dust will rise up. -
- The Soul of World.
 

In the Hands of a Giant

It could have been easier,
It could have been better.
Fortune is in your hands,
I wish for better times.
The winds could've given you wings,
To the emerald seas,
To the snow pearls.
You thought it was going to be easy,
As-if so simple.
 
Again, and again, just listen,
We breathe with big gasps,
We are broken toys,
In the hands of a giant,
In the hands of a giant,
And again, and again, just listen, aha 1
 
Again, squealing and dancing,
And they hammer the drums 2
And they demand illusions,
Glasses dry.
And the voices of the iron trams,
The morning's breath.
You thought it'd be easy,
As-if it was so simple.
 
And again, again, just listen
We breathe with big gasps,
We are broken toys,
In the hands of a giant
In the hands of a giant.
 
And again, again, just listen
We breathe with big gasps,
We are broken toys,
In the hands,
In the hands
 
Whatever it is, is what it will be
Whatever it is, is what it will be,
It was before,
It was.
Went up without ashes
Went up without ashes.
Expectations high,
Expectations high,
The winds would've given wings
To the emerald seas,
To the snow pearls.
You thought it was going to be easy,
As-if so simple.
 
And again, again, just listen
We breathe with big gasps,
We are broken toys,
In the hands,
In the hands
 
And again, again, just listen
We breathe with big gasps,
We are broken toys,
In the hands,
In the hands
 
And again...

Snails

I collect snails from the backyard
We have given them all to you
For some cruel absence, some time
It's useless to live with innocence on the high.
 
And I have them on celluloid
And hanging from my wall
I can only dispense with the cry
When I drink a bit too much
A bit too much
 
And, suddendly, we learn to kill
And we pretend to go on
How I'd want to make a flower for them
In a nightmare
 
Pam pam pam pam
Pam pam pam pam
Pam pam pam pam
Pam pam pam pam
 
I'm a cynic, and I confess
That in a room, in a hotel
That it's useless to remember, just like to not say it
 
These days I couldn't, I couldn't, I couldn't
Snails, snails,
Don't look at me like that
Snails, snails,
Don't make me suffer again.
 
I didn't even know what I was doing
And I learnt all kinds of things
And in between so many snails
And in the grey scale
 
There's nothing simpler than to laugh right now
There's nothing simpler than to laugh right now
 

To the Sandstorm

Like sand, like drizzle
The midday sun shines on me
My arrow of rejection goes through the clouds
Hits the sky and drops it
'With my eyes closed, I see mustard flowers, a sad memory'
Ridiculous sentiment
Now I look
 
It doesn't matter whether I see it or not
The world in front of me is in a sandstorm
 
Under flowing and vanishing scattered clouds
In a shadow of a building, in a piercing autumn wind
I stand there humming
 
'Is it sweet?
Is it bitter?
Is it warm?
Is it cold?'
 
Voice, do not feel ashamed
Voice, do not hesitate
Get right under the sun!
 
I'll just ramble till someday
I greet lazy darkness
With a subtle smile
 
Always, there's a ringing
Suddenly it awakes me
It is a voice without a voice
A song without a song
 
It doesn't matter whether I see it or not
The world in front of me is in a sandstorm
Under flowing and vanishing clouds
In a shadow of a building, in a cruel autumn wind
I stand there humming
(I don't even need words)
 

Beyond the Rainbow

The flower which is burning on the mountain is dancing
Flutter like the flags of the Shanghai Huawei Group
 
To endure sadness
Now walk ahead on that long road
Crossover the pain
Go forward my friend
To chase your wish beyond the rainbow
The wind will carry your dreams
Ah my beloved
Sing like a bell
Don't forget others
For sure keep your promise
Repeal immorality turn the earth to gold
Keep your promise and overflow with love
I will hold you in my chest like the firebird
 
The armor of my heart
The early war still continues
Thoughts which are flooding my mind
Are hidden in my chest, hoist the flag
Push forward to go beyond the rainbow
The wind which carries your dreams
Ah my beloved
Sing like a bell
Ah don't forget others
The time to fulfill your promise is here
Throw away this life and light up the darkness
The promise is now at the seven colored rainbow
I will hold you in my chest like the firebird
The flower which is burning on the mountain is dancing
Flutter like the flags of the Shanghai Huawei Group
 

Shooting Star

So far, I’ve been having some dreams
Where I looked into your eyes as I stood beside you
 
A shimmering shooting star
And it was God’s intent
 
Back then I found
The fate with you
Feeling it on my skin
Like a spiral dancing with the water
 
With one gentle touch in the blowing wind
I can hear the sound of the wave
 
Hold me now
This is a song for you and me
 
I spent with you
This loving fate
From the bottom of my heart
I found a sense of happiness
 
Back then we met
From the fate with you
Appearing stardust
Crystal-clear wishes
I touched them as if whispering
 

Lapis Lazuli Sky

Things don't go the way I wanted it to be
and now I regret our encounter
No matter how much I've become to like you
I will not tell you about it
 
The first time I saw you is when
I found you beyond the street
You were raising your left hand
as you smiled happily
 
I recall that moment, and I want to cry
as I'm looking up the ever-changing sky
Even though sure I will never be able
to know what's coming in the future
 
Perhaps, that time, I realized that
Even though I love you, you will never love me back
I've made up my mind that
I want to forget you, yet I can't
 
Even though I love you, when I meet you
I hide this feeling
Swallowing the pain in my heart deep,
I force out a laugh
I recall the moment
I gently said goodbye that day,
and I bite my lip
as I'm looking up the lapis lazuli sky
 
If only I pretended to be strong
and kept loving you that time
Perhaps I wouldn't even feel this kind of pain
I want to forget you, yet I don't want to
 
I recall that moment, and I want to cry
as I'm looking up the sky alone
Since that day, it's only me
that cannot move on
 
Perhaps that time, I realized that
Even though I love you, you will never love me back
I've made up my mind that
I want to forget you, yet I can't
 
I found you beyond this street
The feeling of mine that faded away that time
even without I realized,
is the one who gently pushed my back
 

magic moment

I am feeling the rain that wets a desert
and dry wind on my skin
Where will we go, with us remaining like this?
Extinguishing the light of a shut-off city
 
Since when did we grow up to be adults that don't dream anymore?
The last location has been decided, you know. Let's go.
 
Crossing over waving night, waving our hands towards tomorrow
Raise your helpless face,
we don't need a map we believe in anymore
I will carry the cold night and my promise with you
with me, somewhere, faraway
 
Swimming through warm clouds
with an echo left in our ears
Let's match our steps and dance
since our parting time has been decided since we were born
 
Don't believe anything reflected in your eyes
Entwin your arms with your dream and never let it go
 
Hey, life is a series of flowing miracles
We will have doubts sometimes, but nevertheless, let's go.
 
After we passed the seventh night
our dream will
wake the place where stars are sleeping
and wait for the day we depart with a voice high and loud
for eternity, somewhere, faraway
 

Fragrant Olive

Your bewildering eyes
The smile you flash to me at times
Sure, you will not be here tomorrow
Because I will slowly let off your hand
 
If you pass the streets when the twilight draws closer
You will hear a distant screaming voice
waiting for someone to come home
 
The swaying fragrant olive
Floats until it stabs my heart
I said 'Please don't go,'
as I am still caressing your white cheek
 
The form of you wandering
Your naked skin reflected dazzlingly
If I close my eyes, I will be able to meet you
Please hold me slowly
 
That flower remains a bud without showing its petals
If I think about you all alone,
You will forever be mine
 
The moment the night wind wakes me up,
my smile will be gone
And again, the hollow season will
hand me a conceited grief
 
The distance between me and you who will never come back
The traces of affection that I hide
You left only love
as you faded into void
 
The swaying fragrant olive
Floats until it stabs my heart
Please don't go away
Leaving me here all alone like this
 
Your bewildering eyes
The smile you flash to me at times
Sure, you will not be here tomorrow
Because sure, I will
Slowly
Slowly
Let off your hand
 

The Sound of Time

As long as the sound of time goes on
I want to be the sun that shines upon you
 
In the night when you're so depressed, so depressed that you cannot sleep
It's okay, cry it all out, I will listen to you anyway
 
I want to be the sun that shines upon you
Just like a sunflower blooming in the sky
That way, I can dry your tears the moment you're looking up at the sky
So that that innocent smile of yours won't go away
 
Contrail that we point at connects our futures
We are in adoration towards the sky, so it must be given that we can fly
 
Even though my memories transcend the time,
I want to send you little miracles
that lies on my side, one by one
So that it will slowly warm up your heart
 
Let's find for something we are looking for
You know? This world will forever be your ally
 
If we sing along to the sound of time
Tomorrow will draw a little closer
Just like sunlight pouring through the leaves
I want to be the sun that shines upon you
I want to be the sun that envelops you
 

Towards the yonder of dreams

Versions: #2
Towards the ever far away, unending
Milky Way, let us sail
Raise the sail, gather winds,
Towards the yonder of dreams
 
Just looking up at the thousands of stars won't get your thoughts reaching anywhere
 
Right now straight, towards tomorrow, seize the future beyond imagination
Speed up, rise up, broaden your heart's map to higher than the sky without limits
 
Towards the ever far away, unending
Milky Way, let us sail
Raise the sail, gather winds,
Towards the yonder of dreams
 
On the small blue Earth, if you just keep waiting then no miracle is going to happen for sure
Without fear or doubts, open the door and fly out of this narrow world, more freely, to the outer space
If you draw your dreams then everything will start there
 
One day you'll surely shine
Go fly until the constellations
Go through the darkness, bathe in the light,
Restless as always
Towards the direction where the heart resounds
 
Towards the ever far away, unending
Milky Way, let us sail
Raise the sail, gather winds,
Towards the yonder of dreams
 
One day you'll surely shine
Go fly until the constellations
Go through the darkness, bathe in the light,
Restless as always
Towards the direction where the heart resounds
 

I made one mistake

You don't have the right
To hurt me so
To talk to me about the past
And make me suffer
You don't have the right
To still insist on
Talking to me about the past
So bitterly
 
I made one mistake,
You have to forget about it
Otherwise my love
You'll lose me quickly
 
You don't have the right
To bring to mind
An old mistake of mine
Again and again
I paid for it in life
With tears and pain
That's why, now you have to
Bring me joy
 
I made one mistake,
You have to forget about it
Otherwise my love
You'll lose me quickly
 
You don't have the right
To remind me again of
An old sin
That's about to be erased
But, as I love you,
You should love me
And heal with affection
Some old wound
 
I made one mistake,
You have to forget about it
Otherwise my love
You'll lose me quickly
 

Sad fairy

How many letters do I have to send to meet you?
How many tears I have to cry for my love to reach you?
I loiter in the journey of a zigzagging love
Ah, please darling, lend me a hand and save me
 
How much I have to hurt myself to become an adult?
How much I have to stretch out to reach happiness?
I loiter in the journey of a zigzagging love
Ah, darling, teach me the answer
 
Men are travelers, they just pass by
Just by crossing inside my heart, they disappear
Hey, how many times should I kiss you for you to turn your face?
How many sleepless nights should I count for the morning to come?
 
Men are travelers, they just pass by
Just by crossing inside my heart, they disappear
Hey, How many winters I have to pass for the spring to come?
Say only an 'I like you' and I'll wait for my cheeks to dye
I'll wait for my cheeks to dye

Cherish It

For the language's survival, speak it
For the language's survival, sing it
And so we are united
In our aspirations for the Māori language
 
We are all travelling the pathway of the language
You are at your stage of the journey, I am at mine
 
The language is yours
The language is mine
It is what links us to our ancestors
Cherish it one and all
 
Whether you make mistakes or are correct,
Whether there be ups and downs,
Have no fear, don’t be shy
Let it fly free
 
We are all travelling the pathway of the language
You are at your stage of the journey, I am at mine
 
The language is yours
The language is mine
It is what links us to our ancestors
Cherish it one and all
 
O Māori language,
You define me as Māori
And I will keep you alive
 
The language is yours
The language is mine
It is what links us to our ancestors
Cherish it one and all
 
The language is yours
The language is mine
It is what links us to our ancestors
Cherish it one and all
 
One and all
One and all
One and all
Cherish it one and all
The language is yours
 

Towards Beyond The Sandstorm

Beyond the dust storm, an extending horizon.
Within each wave, everlasting melody.
 
Even though the season of travelers always bring our present to the past
The singing voices overlapping that day, are echoing even now...
 
What are we waiting for, even with these wounds stay unhealed
Good times for blend, I want to believe that we will return once again
 
Even though we yearn for water in this ocean of sand and our nails are peeling off, our prayers lie in the bottom of the water well
Your name is dream, an ephemeral melody, and we're fading far away that our lips meet
 
My heart's rhythm will never stop resounding, and there's just one more hill to cross
Even though I bury my prayers inside the sand, I extend out my hands, so please
fly me...
 
(Dream port)
 
Where are we heading to, without leaving even one single footprint?
Goodbye dear friend, I want to believe that we will meet once again
 
The moment this ocean of sand darkens, every lament will aim to the light
Your name is dream, a distant melody, and our lips light one single song
 
The harmony of night trembles, and loneliness freezes our voices
If my cries reach the moon, I will sacrifice this body, so please
fly me...
 
Fly me and take me to the forgotten realm
Take me there… Fly me…
 
All sounds, someday, will be inside disappearing silence
And as we tremble, we begin to sing the song of love
 
Our hearts will be able to cross the wind and reach the distant shore, won't they?
Because an eternal song echoing loudly in the distance invites us
 
We will be able to cross the sand and meet on the distant shore, won't we?
With the singing voice overlapping in that day inside our hearts,
towards beyond the sandstorm...
 

Wings

Perhaps, this is the last time this scenery would be visible to my eyes--
Town hued in gray, outside the window
It is too dazzling that I turn my face away, because I have been seeing only darkness up until now
But sure, the sound of rain will get rid of my lament yesterday
 
I went up running, embracing my dream close to my chest, with my foot bare
And this pure heart, driven away to the corner of my memories
 
Flap your invisible wings! Free yourself from loneliness
Look, there is another single fresh wound in your back
Let's start a neverending journey without hiding our hearts
And I screamed, all alone
'I am not afraid of destiny or anything else'
 
I want to know what's up there on the hereafter of this long road
There must be some wandering footprints, somewhere
 
A caprice angel touched me by the ear and said,
'The moment you were born, you decided you'll live on, right?'
 
Flap your invisible wings! Free yourself from your grief
That symbol of eternity engraved on your heart
will destroy everything indiscriminately
while ignoring your intense heartbeats
and cry...
 
Flap your wings of freedom! Free yourself from any doubts
In this pure white world spreading out in front of your eyes
Let's start a neverending journey, without hiding our hearts
And I screamed, all alone
'I am not afraid of destiny or anything else'
 

Sorrow begotten of love

When I look at you
A sweet kind of pain runs through my heart
When I see you, I try
Not to look into your deep eyes
I want to go back to those days:
when we were kids, when we knew none of this
 
I cannot stop my heart being drawn to you,
Still, we both live
Unable to speak of our love
 
Birds fly high into the heavens
They fly into the unending skies,
Throwing away everything and just living,
Yet we are destined not to be granted this*
I want to shout your name
And it hurts to have to bear it in silence
 
I cannot stop the feelings flooding towards you
We both live
Holding on to the lives of our loved one
 
I want to hold you tightly
And forget the world
Why do people know love,
and then suffer?
Being able to keep living
only because you** are alive
Is the same thing
 
I cannot stop my heart being drawn to you
Still, we both live
Unable to speak of our love
 

Horizon of Prayer

A petal spilled in the fleeting empyrean
It was shaken by a golden wind
Where is it going?
 
The gear of the aeon resumed running
I extend my hands to pursue intertwined feelings
 
Eternal are the wishes of the woven future and past
You can fly away beyond any woe
 
A droplet spilled at the bottom of azure eyes
A silvery boisterous geyser roiled
What do they reflect?
 
Now I unleash unbreakable sorrow’s concatenation and unforgettable transgression's rut
 
A fragment of hope remained in my hands
I want to believe that one can forgive any misdeeds by the others
 
I believe that one can forgive any misdeeds by the others
If it remains in my heart the feelings that I want to pray for someone
 
Eternal are the wishes of the woven future and past
You can fly away beyond any woe
 
I was bedecked by rainbow light
Immortality bestowed wings upon me
Let’s pour all of my benevolence
To eternally pray
 

You don't listen Rock music.

Versions: #2
To you who seems to be in a little sadness,
I try to let listening the song to you like this.
The signal that crapping hand for you,
'Sloppy surprise' for you,
All my best effort for you.
 
Covered with dust, On the a standard 45‐rpm donut disk,
The dream of those days dances on it.
Solemnly, I drop the needle on it.
I hold too much my breath.
Hey, Please sit down.
 
Sounds of youthful days which like a gush out one after another.
Let's dance in the dry melody.
 
While thinking which you don't listen 'Rock' music,
Even little distance, So I want you to get closer to me,
Though I think that you don't listen the music like 'Rock',
I am - By the songs like this, or the songs like that,
I have gotten over my falling love.
 
My heart's BPM,
It have became 190.
Did you notice it?
Why are you laughing me now?
Like a lies, My eyes which look about in worry.
 
Sounds of youthful days which playing sluggishly.
The dry melodies are endless.
 
While thinking which you don't listen 'Rock' music,
A little more, So I want you to get closer to me,
Though I think that you don't listen the music like 'Rock',
I am - By the songs like this, or the songs like that,
I have pined in my falling love.
 
While thinking which you don't listen 'Rock' music,
Like my dear lover, So I want you to cuddle me,
Though I think that you don't listen the music like 'Rock',
I am - By the songs like this, or the songs like that,
I have felt pain in my heart again.
 
While thinking which you don't listen 'Rock' music,
Even little distance, So I want you to get closer to me,
Though I think that you don't listen the music like 'Rock',
I am - By the songs like this, or the songs like that,
I have gotten over my heartbreaks. I have gotten over my falling love.
