Sakurajima
(Sakura
Island)
At
4:30 in the morning I
boarded a boat
My
intention was to meet you
Rain
stormed down upon the boat; With desperation, I pushed my way though the
black sea
I wanted to locate something
Before me, a light appeared on the coast
Because
I don’t want to die, I frantically swam the black sea
At
4:30 in the morning I
boarded a boat
My
intention was to meet you
Inside
the boat, there was nobody; On the vast deck, I walked alone
I
wanted to locate something
The rainy wind was unforgiving in its chill
Because
I don’t want to sink, I frantically swam the black sea
Because
the sea was dark, I stopped swimming and tried to float
And
then, as I did that, the sky, too, became black!
And
of course because I don’t want to die, I frantically swim the black sea
In
the eastern sky, a line of light was clinging (on the horizon)
Because
the sea was dark, I stopped swimming and tried to float
And
then, as I did that, the sky, too, became black!
Because
I don’t want to die, I frantically swam the black sea
