風の螺旋 (Kaze no rasen) – Wind’s spiral
from Kibouteki refrain single.
——
Wind’s spiral
A single frozen dried leaf
Left its branch and fluttered upwards
Choosing freedom
When we were by each other’s side
We sympathized the other
What is kindness?
We were in love, yet we separated
Awkwardly walking down the tree-lined avenue
We were both too young
The train waiting for spring
When it reaches that station
Yes, you will leave this city
With a bag stuffed only with dreams
You will be smiling
Alone, right?
The wind’s answer
The deciduous tree’s fate is to shed
There’s no reason to notice what you’d forgotten
Goodbye
I’m left at this place
Let’s meet here again someday
A reunion under the blue sky
That’s my tiny wish
“I’m going to design school”
You said as you showed me the phamplet
With shining eyes
I couldn’t stop you from leaving
Rather than preserve my lonely self’s ego
I encouraged you to go
This heavy coat
When I take it off
You will be long gone
Spreading the map you believed in
You’ve found
A different path
It’s the wind’s fault
Not knowing if it’s right or wrong
Follow your path, and I’ll
Follow mine
Even the branch
Won’t cling on forever
It let go because of love
That’s Nature’s freedom
If you keep silent, even I
Will start to sway
Don’t hesitate
Stay determined
The wind’s answer
The deciduous tree’s fate is to shed
There’s no reason to notice what you’d forgotten
Goodbye
I’m left at this place
Let’s meet here again someday
A reunion under the blue sky
That’s my tiny wish
