Hekiraku (碧落)

[nebulancer]

English translation:

The color of ink gently runs off into the water, all while I wish that I may disappear in a method resembling it.

Though I held tight your lingering fragrance, it can no longer return.

My emotions for our days well up in my tears, as I tremble from my lonesomeness.

 

Far, far away it disappears into the distance.

Where heads the letter I had written?

From the very beginning, no words were there for the recipient,

As what kills my heart is that I still love you.

 

With quivering fingers, the more I wrote, the more red flowed by.

Depicted on a white background, only that color made it feel so warm.

 

My memories faded in color grow blurry within the sunny spot.

My paper airplane flies into the azure horizon.

 

Overlapping, feeble voices grate against the wall of lead.

The gentle smile that had been left behind in olden days

Is blooming here, forever and ever.

 

Far, far away it disappears into the distance.

Where heads the letter I had written?

 

From the very beginning, no words were there for the recipient, as what kills my heart

Is that I still love you.

 

Your words cause my pen to write quickly,

Making me record the magnificence of my memories

 

Aah, my withered words are crushed within the blue.

 

It disappears into the blue sky.

Kanji:

 

柔らかく滲んだ墨の色が、

水の中へ溶けて行く様に

消えてしまいたいと願いながら。

残り香を抱いては、もう戻れぬ。

日々を想い涙しては、

淋しさ打ち震える。

 

遠く、遠くへと消える。

認めた手紙は何処へ。

宛名のない文字の端で

こゝろ殺すのは愛しているから。

 

震える指先で何度も綴れば赤く流れる。

白景に映える、その色彩だけが温かく。

 

色褪せた思ひ出が霞む、陽溜りの中。

紺碧の彼方へと飛んだ紙飛行機。

 

たたなわる弱い声は鉛の壁に軋んだ。

昔日に置き去りになった優しい微笑みは、

ここでずっと咲いている。

 

遠く、遠くへと消える。

認めた手紙は何処へ。

 

宛名のない文字の端でこゝろ殺すのは、

愛しているから。

 

あなたの言葉が私の筆を走らせて、

思いの丈を綴らせる。

 

あゝ、青さの中で砕け散る枯れた言の葉。

 

碧落の中へと消えて行く。
