HYDRANGEA

music: Kalm/ lyrics: Kaya

I hear the faint sound of rain from far away

Drowsy warm with light fever
On a sweet and lazy afternoon

The hydrangea suddenly floats behind my eyes
As a wet wind caresses my cheek and passes by

The vow left behind in that pale blue room
Suddenly pushes to my empty chest and turns round

 

tooku kasuka ni kikoeru amaoto

karui binetsu
amaku kedarui gogo

shikai no saki de fui ni yureru ajisai
nureta kaze ga hoho ni furete sugiru

aoi heya ni okisari no chikai
karappo na mune no naka karakara to mawaru

Our [promise] proved too weak
Our [Eternity] consigned so quietly

I drown in my frail memories that seem just like
the light rain soaking the wettened window pane
In the pale, frozen silence

And cut off my little finger that bound us tight
It was my flooding weakness that crushed you

Your vestage an overlapping fragrance of indigo blue
The hydrangeas begin to blur and run in the rain


mado o nurasu kono kirisame no you ni
zeijaku na omoide ni oborete yuku
aoku kooru seijaku

kitsuku tsunaide ita koyobi o kiriotoshite
afureru atashi no yowasa ga anata o oshitsubushita

omokage ni kasanari kaoru aiiro
ajisai ga awaku ame ni nijinde yuku

Just like they were on that very same day
Hydrangeas like they are on fire

Shivering in the rain
Plucked from the stem
I'll continue to sing forever

So please continue to laugh for me
And promise you'll never forgive what I've done

 

ano hi to onaji you ni moeru you na ajisai

ame ni fue
oru you ni
zutto utaitsuzukeru wa

dakara douka waratte ite
kesshite atashi o yurusanaide

 

I found some hydrangea, randomly, the other day.
They were blue.
