Romaji Lyrics

karete yuku araki no hana
muragaru mushi wa retsu wo nashi te
kuchite yuku sono inochi wo tsumu
kurikaesu towa no rasen

karete yuku osanaki koe wa
kiete yuku toiki nageita
saigo no kotoba wo ukeirete
nakigara no ue chikai wo ueta

furi shikiru ame ni nure
kogoete yuku kankaku monaku
yume no naka samayoutte
me wo hiraku toki wo matsu
hikari ni terasareru made

kirakira kagayaku hai ni naru karada ni nemuri wo
sadame wo oe te haha naru daichi he kaeru
yurayura yura meku kageri yuku kokoro ni yasuragi wo
yosete wa kaesu nami ori ga arata na inochi wo tsukuru

kawaita kaze mai chiru hanabira
shisha no ametsuyu kusaki ni hakobi
michite yuku tsuki no hikari abi te
hakana ki to kini ne wo hari iki ru

kawaita hoo ni namida no ato
sora ni mukai sodatsu yomi no yuzuri wa
kanashi ki kizuna hanamuki ni
omoide no kishi tatazumu mayoi ko

kaze wa nagi hoshi no hi wa kie
me ni utsuru kurayami wo tadoru
hotaru yado su shikabane wo michishirube ni
tomurai no hana ga saku basho he

kirakira kagayaku hai ni naru karada ni nemuri wo
sadame wo oe te haha naru daichi he kaeru
yurayura yura meku kageri yuku kokoro ni yasuragi wo
yose teha kaesu nami ori ga arata na inochi wo tsukuru

kagiri aru kodou ga
kagiri naku meguru sekai de
kowarete yuku ibuki no naka de
ima ubugoe wo ageru

kirakira kagayaku hai ninaru karada ni nemuri wo
sadame wo oe te haha naru daichi he kaeru
yurayura yura meku kageri yuku kokoro ni yasuragi wo
yosete wa kaesu nami ori ga arata na inochi wo tsukuru

sadame wo oe te haha naru daichi he kaeru
yurayura yura meku kageri yuku kokoro ni yasuragi wo
yosete wa kaesu nami ori ga arata na inochi wo tsukuru

English Translation

Yuzuriha[1] of underground

The flower of a ruined castle is dying
Gathering bugs line up
I choose the rotting life
The repeating spirals of eternity

Young voice is dying
It sighed a long breath, which is fading away
It accepts the words of the end
I grew its oath on the corpse

I soak in the continuous rain
My freezing senses cry
I wander about in my dream
I wait for the time, when sprouts open
until I am illuminated by the light

I become ashes that glitter, bringing sleep to my body
Fulfilling the fate
I return to mother earth
My shadow is swaying, bringing the tranquility to my soul
When the waves break on the shore and retreat, a new life is created

A dry wind sways flower petals, which fall down
The rain and dew of the deceased is carried to plants
Bathed in the light of the waxing moon
I live ephemerally, spreading my roots

The trace of tears on a dry cheek
On the other side of the sky yuzuriha grows of the underworld
Sad fetters in a farewell gift
The shore of memories, where stands a lost child

The wind becomes calm and starlight disappears
I follow the darkness, which is reflected in your eyes
Fireflies carry a corpse to the guidepost
To the place where funeral flowers bloom

I become ashes that glitter, bringing sleep to my body
Fulfilling the fate
I return to mother earth
My shadow is swaying, bringing the tranquility to my soul
When the waves break on the shore and retreat, a new life is created

Finite heart's pulsation
In this eternally revolving world
Within the breaking breath
Right now rises its first cry

I become ashes that glitter, bringing sleep to my body
Fulfilling the fate
I return to mother earth
My shadow is swaying, bringing the tranquility to my soul
When the waves break on the shore and retreat, a new life is created
