The Enemy

My youth was but a tempest, dark and savage,
Through which, at times, a dazzling sun would shoot
The thunder and the rain have made such ravage
My garden is nigh bare of rosy fruit.
 

Now I have reached the Autumn of my thought,
And spade and rake must toil the land to save,
That fragments of my flooded fields be sought
From where the water sluices out a grave.
 

Who knows if the new flowers my dreams prefigure,
In this washed soil should find, as by a sluit,
The mystic nourishment to give them vigour?
 

Time swallows up our life, O ruthless rigour!
And the dark foe that nibbles our heart's root,
Grows on our blood the stronger and the bigger!

The day you and this planet disappeared

Trapped inside a steel cage, a pair of deep blue eyes
Stuck in this rotten world, where we were born
My heart was shut ice cold, the sky gray full of ash
Even so, I got to meet you
 

Your silver locks of hair were suddenly dyed red
We held so tightly in a warm embrace
My only purpose was protecting you, but still
Even so, you became a star
 

The lights they shine as bright as dying stars
I shall forget about you and this universe
'Please answer me' My voice hoarse as I call you
And my feelings, forever washed away
 

I walk under the sky caressed by the cold rain
Cut through the barren land, sharp as a blade
As if the countless stars were washed away by blood
That was the day you disappeared
 

The lights they shine as bright as dying stars
I shall forget about you and this universe
'Please answer me' My voice hoarse as I call you
And my feelings, forever washed away
 

So please forget, forget we ever met
And let me hear you and all of the stars above
'Please answer me' My voice hoarse as I call you
And my feelings, forever washed away
 

Please answer me...
 

Please look for me...
 

As we embrace I let out all my strength
And let the light engulf all that we know
Even my feelings will be washed away

When you go on a trip

When you go on a trip, you sometimes realize
What is important?
What is important?
 

When you go on a trip, you sometimes realize
Who is the person you love?
What is the thing you love?
 

Every time I meet myself
Everything passes
What is the thing that remains?
 

When you go on a trip, you sometimes realize
Every time I meet myself
That's why I'm a little scared
 

When you go on a trip, you sometimes realize
I want to meet myself
Today, I'm going on a trip again
 

Why do you show your face here?
Why do I remember those words here?
There are so many things I don't understand
I don't understand 'myself' the most
That's why I go on a trip
 

What is important?
Who is the person I love?
 

Like there are stars in the sky

Like there are stars in the sky
Like there's sand on the beach
There's only one thing in my heart
I had a small dream
 

Like the wind blowing east
Like the river flowing
With the passage of time
My one and only small dream has vanished
 

Lonely, lonely, staring at the stars
Alone, alone, covered in tears
Everything everything is
Although it's over
Everything around me
Although it has disappeared
 

Like a light rain in spring
Like dead leaves falling in autumn
It seems like everyone has that
It's just a change of seasons
