Lyrics
美しい蝶の羽を見た
– utsukushii chou no hane wo mita
名前も知らずに
– namae mo shirazu ni
砂漠の砂丘を飲み干してみたい
– sabaku no sakyuu wo nomihoshite mitai
乾きの一つも知らずに
– kawaki no hitotsu mo shirazu ni
美しい蝶の羽を私につけて
– utsukushii chou no hane wo watashi ni tsukete
緩やかな速度で追い抜いてゆく
– yuruyaka na sokudo de oinuite yuku
ゆっくりゆっくりとあくびの軽さで
– yukkuri yukkuri to akubi no karusa de
行ったり来たりを繰り返しながら
– ittari kitari wo kurikaeshi nagara
美しい蝶の羽を見た
– utsukushii chou no hane wo mita
醜い私を知らずに
– minikui watashi wo shirazu ni
海原を千も飲み干していく
– unabara wo sen mo nomihoshite yuku
少しも満ちるを知らずに
– sukoshi mo michiru wo shirazu ni
美しい鱗の粉よ地平を染めて
– utsukushii rin no kona yo chihei wo somete
あり得ない速度で追い抜いてゆけ
– arienai sokudo de oinuite yuke
ひらりひらりと木洩れの光で
– hirari hirari to komore no hikari de
行ったり来たりを繰り返しながら
– ittari kitari wo kurikaeshi nagara
私が歩いた道も、私の足も
– watashi ga aruita michi mo, watashi no ashi mo
私が触った花も、私の指も
– watashi ga sawatta hana mo, watashi no yubi mo
私が死ぬ日の朝も、その他の日々も
– watashi ga shinu hi no asa mo, sonota no hibi mo
緩やかな速度で追い抜いてゆく
– yuruyaka na sokudo de oinuite yuku
ゆっくりゆっくりとあくびの軽さで
– yukkuri yukkuri to akubi no karusa de
行ったり来たりを繰り返しながら
– ittari kitari wo kurikaeshi nagara
ゆっくりゆっくりと彼方へ
– yukkuri yukkuri to kanata e
恐る恐ると羽を広げながら
– osoru osoru to hane wo hiroge nagara
English Translation
I saw the beautiful butterfly wing,
not knowing its name.
I feel like drinking up a sand hill in the desert,
not knowing a thing about getting thirsty.
Putting the beautiful butterfly wings on me,
it gets ahead of me at a slow speed.
Slowly, slowly, with the lightness of a yawn,
while going back and forth, over and over again.
I saw the beautiful butterfly wing,
not knowing my ugliness.
It’s going to drink up a thousand of vast oceans,
not knowing a thing about getting full.
Let the beautiful scales color the horizon
and get ahead of me at an impossible speed.
Flutter lightly in dappled sunlight under a tree,
while going back and forth, over and over again.
The path I’ve walked as well as my feet.
The flowers I’ve touched as well as my fingers.
The morning of my last day as well as any other days.
It gets ahead of them all at a slow speed.
Slowly, slowly, with the lightness of a yawn,
while going back and forth, over and over again.
Slowly, slowly, into the far distance I go,
while nervously spreading the wings.
