Utakata

On a summer day, I watched the heat haze
For some reason, it felt so dear
The sound of wings was like a gentle lullaby

Hiding in the earth, playing hide and seek
And what dances above is just a little bit
Life returns again to the soil

Fleetingly, it fades away, a layered form

Before I knew it, I found myself there
Just pushing my feelings toward you
My heart is full, but breathing is hard
Please, love, don’t disappear
There shouldn’t be a place to go back to

In the night sea, blue light shines like a glow
Is the path the traveler takes a guide?

Even if the faint light flickers, I can’t let it go

You feel so far away
But I can’t stop my feet
The road ahead isn’t reflected in my eyes
If I could just reach you at the end
If I could only hold you tight

Countless ephemeral dreams and fading feelings
Shall I let them fly to the sky and bathe in the light?

Just knowing this feeling
I could say it’s happiness
Even if my heart is heavy and bound
Please, don’t let this love fade away
At the very least, let me rest in a pure sleep.
