Original lyrics

虚蜩

もう　帰れない

幾つ陽が落ちて

暁に目を焼かれても

契りさえ無いもの

願い募らせれば痛い

忘れさせて　如何か

そんな夜をまだ手繰るの？

悲しみを抱き　夢現つ

ひらりと散った

生きる理由も

拾えないこの目は

まだ　あなたの面影で

従う傷に「いつか」を見ても

笑えない

追懐に痩せていく

逃げ場の無い心は

ただ白く

言葉も無く流れ出す

落涙の所為

さよなら　あなた

走馬灯の底で

思い出す度に　消えたい

一人　茅蜩が鳴き止む頃に

そう　茜色の空見つめ

籠の中　届かぬ愛と

悲しみを抱き　消えていく

堪えた日々も

僅かに響く

痛みと廻り出す遠き声が

泣かないで　もう　終わった事

砂上に落ちた虚蜩がとても悲しかった

ただ　私の様で

English

Translation

Empty Cicada Shell

I can’t go back anymore

However many times the sun sets

And even if I get my eyes burnt by the dawn

I don’t have so much as a promise

When I let my wish grow stronger, it hurts

Make me forget, please

Will I still pore over the memory of a night such as this?

Holding on to sadness, in dreams and in wake

My reason to live

Has gently fallen apart

And my eyes that can’t even pick it up

Are still seeing your form

Even though I see “Future” in the wounds I’m guided by

I can’t smile

Turning barren in reminiscence,

This heart that has nowhere to run

Is simply blank

They start to fall instigated by no words

The falling tears are to blame

That I say goodbye, my dear

Watching my life go by

Whenever I remember, I want to disappear

I’m alone, in the time when evening cicadas stop singing

And so I watch the madder red sky

Inside a cage, with my love that doesn’t reach you

Holding on to sadness, they start to fade away

The days I’ve endured,

And the faintly echoing,

Far-off voice that starts to surge in me with pain

Don’t cry, it’s a done thing already

The cicada shell that fell upon the sand was so very sad

Just like me
