Ukifune
1 The
scent of spring and budding flowers
Petrified, it comes to me that you aren't coming
When summer comes, it's the rain at dawn
Quietly I borrow and gather my pieces back together
After autumn has passed sternly
I cut my flowing black hair
Beloved, I've been separated from your face for three days and
already I've forgotten it
Only stains of the smell of your cigarettes don't disappear
Waiting for you day after day is not enough Harsh
The ringing never ends
Dissonance echoes
That's my never-dying Never-dissolving
Never-ceasing-to-ring
Song of loneliness Come come come...
We didn't even have a cause for a weak departure
The sound of footsteps suddenly Sever and break off
A~h, the sad, beautiful white winter
If we were to meet I wouldn't wish for anything else
Lying thick is That day and snow
Waiting for you day after day is not enough Harsh
The ringing never ends
Dissonance echoes
That's my never-dying Never-dissolving
Never-ceasing-to-ring
Song of loneliness Come come come... My song of
loneliness Come come come
Translator's note: 1. “Ukifune” is a character from the Tale of Genji, whose heart was
torn between two men and, in order to flee them, tried to commit suicide
and, failing, became a Buddhist nun. (o/~ Namu Amida butsu... o/~)
