カエルのおどり (kaeru no odori) (Dance of the Frogs)
Kikuo
Dance of the Frogs
And then the eggs hatch again
The two are in the same pond again
They are born and start swimming
Then they die soon after
Most living things
Most tadpoles
In the same way
The riverbank melts and crumbles
Between the outside and me
Disappearing and scattering
I expanded high into the sky
Expanded bigger than the stars
Until the beginning of the universe
Can't expand anymore even if painful
Still breathing heavily
Continuing to expand endlessly
Cracks appear in the universe
Bursting open
Continuously breaking
A face emerged from that crack
It's inside the same pond
And then the eggs hatch again
Dying, being born, being born and dying
At some point the two become one
You and I were close
I rolled the eggs and the water receded
We dried up completely
Became black, hard, and dry
We became earth
Expanding greatly and softly
The two are in the same pond again
Bursting and swimming
The universe bursts open
Infinite eggs and ponds
The two are reborn
Eternally and endlessly
Eternally and endlessly
Eternally and endlessly
Eternally and endlessly
Eternally and endlessly
Eternally and endlessly
We
Gently spin around
Two souls
Gently laugh as we spin around
In the swirling vortex
Gently shout
The frog's song
Gently dance
The vortex of love spins
Gently spin around
Two souls
Gently laugh as we spin around
In the swirling vortex
Gently shout
The frog's song
Gently dance
The vortex of love spins
Eternally
Eternally
Eternally
Eternally
