If you start to cry
somewhere far far away at the bottom of the stream
I wonder if it's my
sadness that's made you feel so upset deep down inside
But now, how can that be? Thought we're so far apart
You still sense my feelings

moshi kimi ga tooi kawa no soko naite itara
moshikashite boku no kanashimi no sei kashira
naze konna ni hanaretete demo wakatteru

At the moment you
swim in and out of the waves of shining golden blue
At the moment I
stand among the deep forest hidden far from all eyes
But now, how can that be? Even though I don't know why
It means something to me

ima kimi wa gin no awa no naka oyoideru
ima boku wa fukai mori no oku tatteiru
naze konna ni shiranakute demo ki ni shiteru

All of the fish with their rainbow scales shining
collect the light and reflect it to the trees while
All of the many trees sway, a sea of green and
Together give the fish their scent upon the breeze

sakanatachi wa niji no uroko
hikari hanete mori no kigi ni
mori no kigi wa yureru midori
kaze no nioi sakanatachi ni

If you start to smile
somewhere far far away at the bottom of the stream
I wonder if it's my
happiness that you've caught and it's warmed you up inside
But now, how can that be? Though I'll never meet you
Somehow I believe...

moshi kimi ga tooi kawa no soko warattara
moshikashite boku no yorokobi ga toita no
naze konna ni aenakute demo shinjiteru

Clouds will be born way up in the bright blue sky
While the wind carries the blackened shadows by
The rain soaks the ground of the forest to its lye
And sends the calm river to its flow in the stream

aoi sora ni kumo ga umare
kuroi kage o kaze ga hakobu
mori no tsuchi ni ame wa shimite
sunda mizu o kawa ni okuru

I think this song is about how, even if it's not obvious, everyone and everything is interconnected. It's a little comforting I guess if you're lonely. When I hear the lyrics it's easy to imagine that somewhere out there, even though I've never met them, there's somebody else who can sense how I feel and cares about me. However, I'm picky, and so for me the magic of it is that there might be some one special person who I'm connected to with complete disregard for all rhyme and reason and presidence (laughs).

It's like in "An American Tale" when Feifel (Felaffle~? XD My paternal great grandparents were Eastern-European Jewish dock orphans) is separated from his family and they're singing together and staring at the same star...I know no one waits for "that one person" anymore, but I do. And I don't think it's Saitou-kun...*lol*

Oh, Saitou-kun, he's me in drag (laughs)
And though it would make sense to become your own ideal man if you're going to be a man, or your own ideal woman for that matter if you're going to be a woman, if you've not met them then how are you to know what they're like? And if you have, then you'll need not be them because they're already there.
