Kabutomushi

My troubled body feels so hot
But my fingertips are freezing cold
What’s wrong? Just hurry up and go
Even if you say that, I’m so weak
When you’re gone, I’ll just keep aging
It’s unimaginable, you know
So right now is what matters most
The merry-go-round slows down
The white horse’s mane sways

A little taller than me
I lean my forehead against your ear
Drawn in by your sweet scent, I’m like a beetle
A shooting star streaks by
The painful joy in my chest
I’ll never forget it, that’s for sure
I’ll never forget it, that’s for sure

Flowers bloom and fragrance fills the spring
The apples stand tall in the blue summer sky
The autumn breeze passes by, it’s like that
Before I know it, winter comes through midnight
If all the strong, sad things
Stay in my heart, you know
That’ll be a sign of the time we spent together
I’ll feel happy about it
As I hold my breath and gaze ahead
Long eyelashes are swaying

A little bit of a quirk in your voice
I lean in to listen
In deep tranquility, I’m intoxicated, I’m like a beetle
The amber crescent moon
Even my breath feels like a heartbeat
I’ll never forget it, that’s for sure
I’ll never forget it, that’s for sure
