English

The moonlight falling from the silence
So clear and blue
It shakes my thoughts
The gateway
Shut firmly with this loneliness
This sound’s entirety,
I believed in its existence

Our meeting easily
Outstrips eternity
And time’s silly little games

The stirrings of my heart emerging
Into an unfamiliar world
Being colored by your sound
Their traces will not disappear
In the warmth of the sunlight
Inlayed with joy,
This love is changing into sound


The lingering scent of a faded dream
Has become sepia-colored,
A shadow of a memory
Forever
Lost without a trace,
A moment in the light of glory,
Those days are dead and gone!

Floating in the *** light,
A star calling out for the dawn
Emerges, showing signs

I’ve forgotten the feel of time’s passage
The stopped clock
Is faintly beginning to mark the passage of time
The sound that you can play
Is reaching through to my rusted heart
Shaking and trembling,
I can see that dream once more

This melody I so painfully yearn for,
I’ll sing it
I’ll play it
Ah, more deeply
And dearly,
I want to tell you this

Facing the gateway you opened,
The scenery spread out before me
Though the endless distance may seem hazy,
Every time I remember its beauty
This wish that fills my heart
Is nearby, and the happiness it brings
Is bound to everything in the future
