Yakyoku

nagai nagai tabi no hate ni

boku wa kono kishibe ni yatte kita

doko ni mukai nagareteru no?

me no mae no kawa yo

At the end of the long journey, I came to the shore

Where is the river in front of me flowing to?

mukau basho mo miushinatte

na noni naze boku wa ikiteru no?

toikaketemo kono keshiki wa

nani mo kotaenai

Although I lose sight of the opposite place, why am I alive?

Even if I ask, the scenery has no answers

kie wa shinai ano hi no itami

ima mo kikoeru kimi no kotoba ga

The pain from that time doesn't diappear

Even now, I can hear your words

* naite naite naite

doushite hito wa omoi ga afurederu no?

ikiru mono subete no namida no ame ga

yagate kawa ni nari daichi wo kyou mo nagareteru

I cry & cry & cry; why do people's emotions flow out?

The rain of tears of the living finally become the rain

& today it also flows to the earth

hitotsu hitotsu kagayakidasu

akaneiro no sora no hoshitachi

haruka tooku furusato ni wa

ima mo boku ga iru

The stars in the red sky begin to shine one by one

Even now, I am far away in my hometown

eien nado dare mo motomezu

mijikasugiru toki wo ikiteru

No one searches for eternity,

they just live a life that's too short

naite naite naite

doushite hito wa konna ni yowai no darou?

subete no kanashimi ya yorokobi tachi ga

yagate kawa ni nari sekai wo kyou mo nagareteru

I cry & cry & cry; I wonder why people are so weak

All of the sadness, all of the happiness

finally becomes a river & it's flowing to the earth today too

yoru e kaeru umidori-tachi yo

boku no kodoku mo hakonde okure

The seagulls that return to the night;

please carry my loneliness away too

* repeat
