Lyrics & Translation
On a terrible, iridescent afternoon,
I'm still calling out your name.
The poison just won't go away, it's infuriating.
If you learn the color of love by being loved,
You were the one who colored my world.
My right hand, like a caterpillar with no appetite,
Can't even taste the cream-filled bun.
No one else,
Only you can fill this void.
That's why it's such a pain.
Hey, can we rewind this?
In the clear rain,
A rendezvous in that town,
Walking, ignoring even destiny.
Your footprints,
I wake up where they can't be found anywhere.
I'm writing this with impromptu feelings,
Hoping this poem will one day transcend time,
And reach you living in a limited future.
I hope it reaches you.
I suddenly remembered how we first met.
Even blooming flowers,
Seems like the time to scatter will come.
Well, maybe it's better than being bored.
The door left wide open,
Clothes carelessly thrown off,
It was all here.
Hey, laugh at me and call me an idiot.
In the clear rain,
A rendezvous in that town,
Walking, ignoring even destiny.
Your footprints,
I wake up where they can't be found anywhere.
I'm writing this with impromptu feelings,
Hoping this poem will one day transcend time,
And reach you living in a limited future.
Will it reach you?
We really were in love, weren't we?
It wasn't a mistake, it was real, wasn't it?
So much so that I'm starting to doubt it,
You're still beautiful now.
Like the morning light mimicking the color of your lips,
The morning light inside my teary eyes,
Flowing within,
To our past,
To our lovely everyday lives,
I kissed them goodbye, and they faded away.
