Lyrics & Translation
It shines dazzlingly,
From the depths of my wide-open mouth,
I can see Mars again today.
I want to live peacefully,
Rest.
Oh, please understand,
Rendezvous with Mars.
Ordinary days, ordinary sympathy,
All I want to see is a ridiculous storm.
Rendezvous with Mars.
And I don't need a lantern or a mirror,
I wish my pain was just a reflection of the moon.
From the tip of my pointed pen,
I can see a coreless me.
Even on a silent, still night,
Orchid petals stand out.
Let me sleep deeply,
Rest.
Stroke me gently,
Rendezvous on Mars.
Days of inertia, ideal is gravity,
All I want to see is what's inside me.
Rendezvous with myself.
And I don't need music or medicine,
I wish my values were just a reflection of my brain.
From the tip of my pointed tail,
A thread-like crescent moon is fading.
Rest.
Ah, it's frustrating,
Rendezvous with Mars.
Days of inertia, days of reason,
All you need is time and space.
Rendezvous with Mars.
I don't need bullets or fireworks there,
I wish the Martian soil was just like chocolate.
Rendezvous with Mars.
Goodbye to that Earth's gravity,
All I'm seeing is the light of words.
Rendezvous with Mars.
And I don't need a lantern or a mirror,
It would be nice if my pain was a reflection of the moon,
But it's not.

Key Grammar Structures
-
ぴんと立てた指の先から
➔ Adjective + に + Verb (立てる) + た (past tense) + Noun + の + 先 + から: From the tip of the noun that was verbed.
➔ This line uses the structure "A (adjective) に verb た B (noun) の 先 から", which means "from the tip of B that was A-ly verbed". Here, "ぴんと立てた" means "erected sharply", and "指の先" means "fingertip". So, the whole phrase means "from the sharply erected fingertip".
-
爛と光って見える
➔ Adverb (onomatopoeia) + と + Verb (光る) + て + 見える (to appear)
➔ This structure describes how something appears. "爛と" is an onomatopoeia for something shining brightly, 光る means "to shine", and 見える means "to appear/to be seen". The て form connects the shining action to the appearance. So it means "appears to shine brightly".
-
あぁ、わかってください
➔ Verb (わかる - to understand) + て + ください (please)
➔ This is a simple request. Using the て form of a verb followed by ください creates a polite request. It means "please understand."
-
僕が見たいのはふざけた嵐だけ
➔ Noun + が/は + Verb (見る - to see) + たい (want to) + のは + Adjective (ふざけた - foolish) + Noun (嵐 - storm) + だけ (only)
➔ This sentence uses the "Noun が/は Verb たいのは…だけ" pattern to emphasize what the speaker wants to see. "見る" is "to see", "たい" expresses desire, "ふざけた" means "foolish/ridiculous", and "嵐" is "storm". The entire line means "The only thing I want to see is a foolish storm."
-
それにランタンも鏡もいらない
➔ それに (Besides/Moreover) + Noun + も + Noun + も + Verb (いる - to need, negative form: いらない)
➔ "それに" means "besides/moreover". The particle "も" indicates "also/neither/nor". The negative form "いらない" of the verb "いる" (to need) means "don't need". So, "ランタンも鏡もいらない" means "I don't need a lantern, nor a mirror".
-
僕の苦しさが月の反射だったらいいのに
➔ Noun (苦しさ - suffering) + が + Noun (月 - moon) + の + Noun (反射 - reflection) + だったら (if it were) + いいのに (I wish)
➔ This sentence expresses a wish or hope that something were different. "苦しさ" is "suffering", "月の反射" is "moon's reflection", "だったら" is "if it were", and "いいのに" means "I wish/I hope". Therefore, the whole sentence means "I wish my suffering were the moon's reflection". It's an expression of longing for something impossible.
-
糸のやうなみかづきがかすんでゐる
➔ Noun (糸 - thread) + の + やうな (like/resembling) + Noun (みかづき - crescent moon) + が + Verb (かすむ - to be hazy/dim) + でいる (progressive form, old style => ゐる)
➔ "糸のやうな" means "like a thread/resembling a thread". "みかづき" means "crescent moon". "かすむ" means "to become hazy/dim". The old-fashioned form "でいる" is used, appearing as "でゐる" in older texts, to show a progressive state (being hazy). Thus, the entire line means "A thread-like crescent moon is becoming hazy/dim."
