~English Translation~
Inside of the light, I saw my youthful memories They're still too far off for me, filthy as I am now Inside of the darkness, I called your name over and over again Inside of the endless time, there's no one there but you
I lock myself up, unable to even atone I can't do anything but pray...my sadness is not cured
I tore off a single damp petal from a hydrangea It floats in a puddle, and I remember you
In the evening just after the rain, I faintly heard the far off whistel of a ship For some reason, it made me sad
If I can't be forgiven, then everything can disappear The sadness and the pain, to the world that doesn't need anything
I lock myself up, unable to even atone I can't do anything but pray...my sadness is not cured
From the gently crying sky, I also heard your voice I laughed through gathering tears, but I couldn't see anything...
Inside of the light, I saw my youthful memories Even the soundless smile is happy right now I can't return to that time ever again When we were laughing |
