苔蒸す庭 || The Mossy Garden

歌詞

ずっと前から知っていた
初めてなのに懐かしい場所

雲割れ光が映し出す幻影（まぼろし）

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

古い寫真の片隅に
そっと佇（たたず）む笑わない人

衝羽根（つくばね）の実抱く白い指も枯れて

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

碧澄（あおすみ）

Romanisation

zutto mae kara shitte ita
hajimete nanoni natsukashii basho

kumo ware hikari ga utsushi dasu maboroshi

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

furui shashin no katasumi ni
sotto tatazumu warawanai hito

tsukubane no mi daku shiroi yubi mo karete

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

Translation

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

The clouds part and the light reveals an illusion.

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

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

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

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—

Blue and clear.
