“Should this become a sad affair, before long we’ll have to abandon it” I want you to whisper that once more, once more, close to my ears Countless naked wounds dot the scenery I lived with you And because even a slight breeze makes them sting, I’m still crying I’d lost on my way home the button on my old jacket that I left hanging off some time or other, and with that I keep getting engulfed by dreams – my exhausted voice dashes along the tracks like a wheel carting off You left me behind like some pebble It wasn’t even you, and it wasn’t even me-- in those days both of us had told such good lies If that’s an irreplaceable season, even now I can’t erase it I can’t touch that fever and warmth ever again, ever again Used-up words of love; meaningful places relinquished hesitatingly To be able to do it for you – I’m sure that was nothing I think to realize it is to get hurt A soul clean of trash thrown away on the roadside Flap your wings The song of a good-for-nothing – a dream-chaser is going forth The voice of a heart about to break crosses over the tracks The button that could cross my path, the sound of hearts passing right by one another-- those days that don’t explain any of that are, like the winter sky, shining faintly shining faintly Let it be like you, for my sake I keep getting engulfed by dreams – my exhausted voice dashes along the tracks like a wheel carting off The song of a good-for-nothing – a dream-chaser is going forth A tomorrow free of filth is coming in some nameless night Because I want such a simple phrase of “I love you,” and yet I’ll live on We’ll go on A story of love and hope A story of love and hope |
Translator's notes: The character in the title has two readings and meanings, "shi" (meaning poem) and "uta" (meaning song and classical Japanese/modern poetry). When it appears in the song, it is read "Uta," so I believe that is the correct reading in the title as well.
Maaya's liner notes: We were young. (Translated by Miyuki)
