Akane Sasu

Running through the street corner where dead leaves dance, the dry wind
The elongated shadows and the ginkgo trees, I wanted to see the seasons

The calling voice without an answer is quickly drowned out
Passing through the main street, escaping the crowd, to a distant place where no one is

Even though I noticed, I pretended not to know anything
Alone, I couldn't do anything

Farewell to the illusion I met, in this sky dyed with madder
In the spilled weakness, a rose in my palm, like that
Granting wishes, knowing pain

Even the cries of migrating birds disappear into the red-stained clouds
The way back is far away, now alone in a place where no one is

Even if I touched the colors of the noticed scenery
Alone, I couldn't even speak

A kiss to the beloved illusion, in this twilight sky
The evening stars still shining, where is the lingering moon of the night waiting
Torn apart, knowing pain

In the repeating days, what I was searching for
Was a wish to keep walking

Farewell to the illusion I met, longing in this sky
The flowing days in my palm, a petal of a flower, like that
Piling up pain, knowing encounters

Encountering repeatedly, knowing wishes
