ずっと前から知っていた
初めてなのに懐かしい場所

zutto mae kara shitte ita
hajimete nanoni natsukashii basho

I knew it all along.
It was my first time visiting, yet that place was so nostalgic.

雲割れ光が映し出す幻影（まぼろし）

kumo ware hikari ga utsushi dasu maboroshi

The clouds part and the light reveals an illusion.

譽（ほまれ）刻み込んで朽ち掛けたこの庭
瞬きの間に消えた影に
心奪われて

homare kizami konde kuchi kaketa kono niwa
matataki no ma ni kieta kage ni
kokoro ubawarete

Glory is etched into this garden, forgotten with time.
My heart was stolen away by a shadow
that vanished in an instant.

古い寫真の片隅に
そっと佇（たたず）む笑わない人

furui shashin no katasumi ni
sotto tatazumu warawanai hito

In the corner of an old photograph
a stern figure stood silently.

衝羽根（つくばね）の実抱く白い指も枯れて

tsukubane no mi daku shiroi yubi mo karete

White fingers, embracing the fruit of the tsukubane bush, wither away as well.

屆かないあなたに生まれて散った戀
燃える山の端　風の葉音
どこにもいなくて

todokanai anata ni umarete chitta koi
moeru yama no ha kaze no haoto
doko ni mo inakute

My unrequited love for you, who I could not reach, was born and then died.
The edge of the burning mountain and the sounds of rustling leaves
are nowhere to be found—

碧澄（あおすみ）

aosumi

Blue and clear.
