| 目を閉じて 耳をすませば 遠くに聞こえる ひぐらしの声 かたく冷たい 定めごとを |
今もくり返す かむさびの群れ |
Me wo tojite mimi wo sumaseba Tooku ni kikoeru higurashi no koe Kataku tsumetai sadamegoto wo |
Ima mo kurikaesu kamu sabi no mure |
If you close your eyes and listen carefully, You can hear them in the distance… the voices of cicadas The solid and cold fate |
Even now repeats, a weathered and sublime swarm |
| ふいに崩れてゆく 日常はたよりなく 自分さえ 演じきれない |
Fui ni kuzurete yuku nichijou wa tayorinaku jibun sae enjikirenai |
Suddenly, it begins to break down. The normal is inconsistent; even the self is too heavy a role to play |
| いてついた頬に わずかな嘘をのせ 知らぬふりをして 微笑んでみせても くらく透き通った 瞳はゆらめき |
私を きっと ゆるさない |
Itetsuita hoho ni wazuka na uso wo nose Shiranu furi wo shite hohoende misete mo Kuraku sukitootta hitomi wa yurameki |
Watashi wo kitto yurusanai |
On those frozen cheeks, carry the tiny lie, Even if you pretend not to know and keep a smile on your face The eyes that darkly became transparent are flickering; |
Surely, they won’t forgive me |
| まどろみの うちに広がる 微かなささやき 対の足音 それはしだいに 大きさを増し |
やがて私を 狂わせてゆく |
Madoromi no uchi ni hirogaru Kasuka na sasayaki tsui no ashioto Sore wa shidai ni ookisa wo mashi |
Yagate watashi wo kuruwasete yuku |
They spread out while you’re sleeping… A faint whisper, a pair of footsteps They gradually grow in size, |
And before long, they’ll drive me insane |
| やわらかい心を 蝕まれた私は 幸せを ためらわない |
Yawarakai kokoro wo mushibamareta watashi wa shiawase wo tamerawanai |
With my soft heart being eaten away, I won’t hesitate to get my happiness |
| 誰かが誰かを 殺めてしまっても 問われることなく 問うこともないなら 私が私を 殺めてしまえば |
悲劇は きっと 起こらない |
Dareka ga dareka wo ayamete shimatte mo Towareru koto naku tou koto mo nai nara Watashi ga watashi wo ayamete shimaeba |
Higeki wa kitto okoranai |
Even if someone ends the life of another, No questions are asked if there is nothing to ask If I take my own life, |
Surely, disaster won’t strike |
| 私が私で いられなくなっても 何も変わらずに 続いてゆくだろう いくつもの幸せ いくつもの悲しみ |
悲劇は ずっと 終わらない |
Watashi ga watashi de irarenaku natte mo Nani mo kawarazu ni tsudzuite yuku darou Ikutsumo no shiwase ikutsumo no kanashimi |
Higeki wa zutto owaranai |
If I can no longer live as myself, I wonder if things will continue with nothing changing So much happiness, so much sorrow… |
Disaster will never end |
