Lyrics

yukue shirazu no ano kumo wo mita
watashi no uroko wa anata ni niteita
shita wa futatsu, mabuta wa nemurazu
boyaketa yomogi no kaori ga suru

yukue shirazu no ano kumo no shita
watashi no kokoro wa hinoko ni niteita
kutsu wa irazu, mimi wa shirazu
anata no neiki wo kiku

buruu beru no beddo wo subetta haru mitai da
shijuukara wa anna fuu ni utau no ka
umi wo shirazu, hana wo medezu, sora wo aogu watashi wa
mata fuzan no kumo wo mitai dake

yukue shirazu no ano kumo no shita
anata no uroko wa hizashi ni niteita
ame wo shirazu, furete atsuku
boyaketa yomogi no kaori ga suru

mebuku koke no beddo wo korogatta
ano koro mitai ni
katabami wa konna fuu ni yawai no ka
haru wo shirazu, hana wo medezu, kaze wo nameru watashi wa
tada umi no fukasa wo mitai dake

ano ookina umi wo hereba
ano kumo no shirosa wo mireba
anata to no yume no ato de wa
hoka ni wa

buruu beru no beddo wo subetta haru ni nareba
hoojiro wa anna fuu ni warau no ka
umi wo shirazu, hana wo medezu, sora wo aogu watashi wa
tada anata wo mitai dake

yukue shirazu no ano kumo no shita
watashi no kokoro wa anata ni niteita
shita wa futatsu, mabuta wa nemurazu
itsuka mita hebi ni niru

English Translation

I saw that missing cloud.
My scales reminded me of you,
with two tongues, sleepless eyelids,
and the blurred scent of wormwood.

Under that missing cloud,
my heart was like fire sparks.
No need for shoes, unaware of ears,
I hear you breathe while sleeping.

I slid across the bed of bluebells. It seems spring has come.
I didn’t know that chickadees sing like that.
Unaware of the ocean, indifferent to flowers, I look up at the sky,
just wishing to see the clouds over Wushan again.

Under that missing cloud,
your scales resembled the rays of the sun,
unaware of the rain, hot when touched,
and with the blurred scent of wormwood.

I rolled on the bed of sprouting moss
like back in those days.
I didn’t know that sorrels are soft like this.
Unaware of the spring, indifferent to flowers, I lick the wind,
just wishing to see the depth of the ocean.

If I could pass that big ocean,
if I could see the whiteness of that cloud,
and after the dream of being with you,
anything else would—

I slid across the bed of bluebells. When spring comes,
I didn’t know that meadow buntings laugh like that.
Unaware of the ocean, indifferent to flowers, I look up at the sky,
just wishing to take a look at you.

Under that missing cloud,
my heart resembled you,
with two tongues and sleepless eyelids,
just like the snake I saw one day.
