Translation: Kimura Yumi - Inochi no Namae

Dec 23, 2008 11:26

A line is drawn in the blue sky
By the airplane's vapor trail
Continuing to nowhere, continuing forever
As if it knew tomorrow

In my chest, I was drawing out shallow breaths
I remember the wind that cooled my cheeks too

In front of the future, my cramped limbs
Are untied by a quiet voice
Missed so much that I could cry
The single life
The light of midsummer
The sunlight through the trees flickered on your shoulders

A crushed white ball
Flower petals scattered by the wind
The two float on the unseeable river
Singing as it flows

Secrets and lies and joy
Are the children of the God that bore the universe

In front of the future, my cramped heart
Will someday remember its name
Loved so much that I could cry
The single life
The place I'll return to
An unerasable summer day on my fingers
