English Translation
Not swayed even after the dignified flower bloomed,
Today comes, stealing away even my feeling of unease
Alone in the schoolyard in the afternoon, I’m a transparent person
I’m singing, wanting someone to notice me
You were so dignified, painted indelibly in a color for which “yearning” is not a strong enough word
If I can’t see any of the words I want to say, they’re transparent
I was singing to bury my loneliness
Whose voice was it that began to make noise?
Even people’s voices are like background music to me
I sing the song you sang that day
Somewhere inside my body
Someone is crying out
I want to cross to the other side of the long night
With my heart still intact
So pierce my whole, whole, whole self through
Your dignified heart was transparent every day
I couldn’t see any color or shape to it
I feel like I’m going mad; if I can’t see any love songs or world peace, they’re transparent
They might as well not exist at all
Amid the noise of the crowd in front of the train station, I cried out
This song is my only means of making myself seen
I sing the dream I forgot that day
Somewhere inside my head, I knew
That my eyes couldn’t see the other side of the long night
So weed your whole, whole, whole self out
I can’t see it
It was my imagination
Your color, your shape
I can’t be seen; you could say I’m semi-transparent
Even now, my heart remembers that day
Just by that song that you were singing, unseen
Somewhere inside my body, words are crying out
I want to cross to the other side of the distant night with my heart still intact
So pierce my whole, whole, whole self through
