歌詞

黒い羽根が導いた
あの夜 空に星はなく
重い闇の中
あなたは泣いているように見えた

誰もいない路地裏の
足跡はすぐ白に消え
かざす手から零れ落ちる 夢の欠片 儚く

憎しみ宿す瞳に映る少女は泣いているの?
今宵、可哀想な私に心を下さい

冷たい雪のような細い指
紡ぐは背徳
擦り切れたこの身をあたためる
あなたは優しい 羽根が千切れても

甘い音 奏でる
刺に目を瞑り
深い罪を負う
あなたは震えてるように見えた

触れ合っても届かない 空回る想い地に堕ちて
今宵、可哀想な私にあなたを下さい

冷たい雪のような口付けで
遮る背徳
重ならない心は緋く熟れて
後悔も痛みも焼き尽くす

小さな花のような約束は
きらめく灯火
「ありがとう、さようなら」
塞じた胸 愛はここにある
羽根を失くしても

Romanisation

kuroi hane ga michibiita
ano yoru sora ni hoshi wa naku
omoi yami no naka
anata wa naite iru you ni mieta

dare mo inai rojiura no
ashiato wa sugu shiro ni kie
kazasu te kara kobore ochiru yume no kakera hakanaku

nikushimi yadosu hitomi ni utsuru shoujo wa naite iru no?
koyoi, kawaisou na watashi ni kokoro o kudasai

tsumetai yuki no you na hosoi yubi
tsumugu wa haitoku
suri kireta kono mi o atatameru
anata wa yasashii hane ga chigiretemo

amai oto kanaderu
toge ni me o tsuburi
fukai tsumi o ou
anata wa furueteru you ni mieta

fureattemo todokanai sora mawaru omoi chi ni ochite
koyoi, kawaisou na watashi ni anata o kudasai

tsumetai yuki no you na kuchidzuke de
saegiru haitoku
kasanaranai kokoro wa akaku morete
koukai mo itami mo yakitsukusu

chiisana hana no you na yakusoku wa
kirameku tomoshibi
“arigatou, sayounara”
tojita mune ai wa koko ni aru
hane o nakushitemo

Translation

The black wings guided me.
That night, there were no stars in the sky.
Within heavy darkness,
it looked like you were crying.

In the empty back alley,
my footprints vanished into white straight away.
The transient fragments of my dreams spilled from my hands held aloft.

A girl is reflected in eyes where hatred dwells. Is she crying?
Tonight, please give my pitiful self a heart.

Thin fingers, cold as ice,
spin immorality like yearn.
It heats my worn-out body.
You’re so gentle, though your wings have been torn off.

I play sweet sounds.
I ignore the thorns.
I bear deep sins.
You looked like you were trembling.

Though we touch, my feelings don’t reach you. They circle through the air and fall to the ground.
I’m so pathetic. Give me yourself tonight.

With a kiss like cold snow,
my immorality is blocked.
Our separate hearts ripen red.
My regrets and pain burn to ashes.

Our promise, like a small flower,
is a glistening light.
“Thank you. Goodbye.”
Love is right here in my sealed heart
though I may lose my feathers.

    Sorry if this bothers you m(_ _)m , could you tell me more about the meaning of this song on your views? (I just want to know a little better…)

      I feel like the song’s about somebody who’s had an argument or fight with the one they love. You get some passages that might be flashbacks to the fight, or they could be describing one of the pair seeking out the other.

      I think one of them dies (“My regrets and pain burn to ashes.” and “Love is right here in my sealed heart”) or something happens that means they can’t come to terms with their differences.

      There’s an extended metaphor linking the people to crows as well – make of that what you will. Birds are typically associated with freedom, but one of the birds has broken wings. Perhaps they want to escape from their situation but can’t… 😦
