Ah 馬が走る 黒いアスファルトの上
Ah, a horse runs on the dark asphalt
荒んだ並木 風もなし 香りだす雨の気配
The rough-lined trees stand still, no wind, the scent of rain in the air
Ah 東京はフラスコの中の風景
Ah, Tokyo is a scene within a flask
迷い込んでは泣いていたのは遠い遠い昔
Lost and weeping was a distant, distant past
Ah 光の澱に 道草を誘う亡霊
Ah, in the sediment of light, a ghost beckons me to stray
九つの門を通り抜けてあの山の麓へと
Passing through nine gates to the foot of that mountain
空っぽの花瓶に活ける花を探している
Searching for flowers to place in an empty vase
恥ずかしいくらい生き急いでいた遠い遠い昔
How embarrassing to have lived in a hurry, a distant, distant past
お願い ママ パパ この世に生まれたその意味を
Please, Mama, Papa, tell me the meaning of being born into this world
教えて欲しいの わたしに
I want you to teach me, to me
悲しい思い出はいらないから ただただ美しい思い出を
I don't need sad memories, just beautiful ones all around
祈りの言葉を amen
Words of prayer, amen
Ah 怒りが満ちる 黒い炎を纏って
Ah, anger fills me, cloaked in black flames
どうかわたしの この心を 赦してくれやしないか
Please, forgive this heart of mine, won't you?
Ah さもなければ その清い雷を以って
Ah, otherwise, with that pure lightning
わたしの身を 灰になるまで 焼いてくれないか
Burn my body until it turns to ash, won't you?
Ah 音を立てて燃える部屋の中ひとり
Ah, all alone in the room where the flames crackle
歯軋りみたいに火の粉は舞う 酸素を食べて育つ
Like grinding teeth, the sparks dance, thriving on oxygen
ありがとう 今 身をやつす苦渋の全てに
Thank you for all the bitterness that I endure now
再会を願い 今日はおやすみ また明日
Wishing for a reunion, good night today, see you tomorrow
お願い ママ パパ この世に生まれたその意味を
Please, Mama, Papa, tell me the meaning of being born into this world.
教えて欲しいの わたしに
I want you to teach me, just for me.
悲しい思い出はいらないから ただただ美しい思い出を
I don't need sad memories, just beautiful ones, pure and bright.
祈りの言葉を amen
Words of prayer, amen.
お願い ママ パパ この世に生まれたその意味を
Please, Mama, Papa, tell me the meaning of being born into this world.
教えて欲しいの わたしに
I want you to teach me, just for me.
悲しい思い出はいらないから ただただ美しい思い出を
I don't need sad memories, just beautiful ones, pure and bright.
祈りの言葉を amen
Words of prayer, amen.
