shoujo no you ni karen na
hitomi wa toumei na mama de
majiwaranai awaku shiroi hada
chou no you ni mau doresu

like a young girl, lovely eyes
eyes clear as they are each alone,
pale white skin
dress dancing like a butterfly

himeta omoi musubarenakutomo
eien o negatta kisetsu wa
sotto kage o hisome kurayami no shihai
yuganda haguruma ah

thoughts kept inside not even concluded
desiring eternity the season is
quietly hiding is the shadow, the ruler of darkness
distorted metal gears ah

mou ni do to anata no me wa
kono utsukushii yoake o
utsusu koto mo kanai wa shinai
inochi o tabane sasagetemo

never again will your eyes
reflect this beautiful daylight
even if you bundle
and sacrifice your life

aa nani o nani o nozomarete
kanashimi o umi dasu no ka?

ah what is it, what is it your desire?
to bring forth sadness from the sea

itsu made mo sono negao
o shizuka ni mitsumeteita
nemuri o sasou yasashii kaze ga
futari o tsutsumu made

forever quietly
gazing at that sleeping face
inviting sleep, that gentle wind,
until it envelops us

kono koi wa toki o koete
anata no moto ni sakaseyou
ikusen no yoru to asa o mukae
dare no te nimo todokanai chi de

this love is beyond time
from where you are it will bloom
greeting thousands of nights and mornings
in a land beyond our reach

Please rise from the dead on earth
with my last kiss
