I torn out my favorite page from inside my favorite picture book It’s always in my chest pocket so I can reread it at any time The part where the cowardly dog starts his journey He cut his chain for the sake of the one who gave him unconditional love What is left of my favorite picture book is a lonely story of all help being lost So there’s just torn-off hopes in my chest pocket no different from loneliness Upon losing my place, the ongoing journeys will just wander about Hey, look at me, come back here I think your kind of strength, which my weak self can never permit, is beautiful When I replaced the page I’d torn from my favorite picture book Because both joy and sadness were vividly noticeable I cried unconditionally, and after I cried A story where I set off at your side In the journey this time, we’ll go even farther together, to somewhere far, yet close by [1] |
Translator's notes: [1] E.g., they'll go into a book together: travel to faraway lands while staying in the same place.
Maaya's liner notes: If it’s for your smiling face, I will. (Translated by roxfan)
