English translation:

Buried in darkness for years and years...

If I wish for us to resemble pines that grow as if entwined...

I shall believe in the road to love, without a shred of doubt

Now, I await a connection

The scattered patches of snow melt with such vibrancy

Yet knowing they shall fade away, I am pained

Continuing to lament... the more I think of them

That which dwells within me is a love I am at wits' end with

Wrapped in the shadow of dark curtains,

As our hands overlapped while we were hidden, I informed you,

"Just for tonight, this momentary love... Ah... Is just for you..."

The violet moon gleams, melting us both

Even as we come to learn what we have sealed away...

The moonlight will hide away even our positions, so

All night... Until the night dawns,

We kiss in such a way

I desire you so much that it cannot reach you...

The dead leaves dancing in impatience have always...

Piled up on my road to love...

The horizon of blindness hides these days countlessly piling upon each other

"Seasons continue on forever, yet the flowers surely scatter and fall -

I hate it," you sobbed, yet

Those words that surged up in disarray within the night

Knowing your wish would never come true,

Hidden deep inside your lonely eyes,

Those blazing emotions were so alluring

"Just for tonight, this momentary love... Ah... is just for you..."

The violet moon gleams as love passes through

Even as we come to learn what we have sealed away...

The moonlight will hide away even our depravities, so

All night... Until the night dawns,

We kiss in such a way

The violet moon gleams, melting us both

Even as we come to learn what we have sealed away...

The moonlight will hide away even our positions, so

All night... Until the night dawns,

We kiss in such a way

Just for now... Just for tonight...

We kiss in such a way

[T/N:

Aioi no matsu are pine trees which have both male and female trees growing together from a single seed. Due to the unique way they have grown, it looks as if they have become intertwined. Because pine trees themselves mean “eternity” and “longevity,” the existence of two pine trees growing entwined together means a “fated bond,” “unity,” and “longevity together.”
Kinjiki (禁色) - also known as forbidden colors - is the term for the Heian-era court officials’ color-coded clothing. They used such colored clothing to signify their ranks, and these certain colors could only be used with permission.
…When I was looking through good old Wikipedia, I also saw that Kinjiki is a euphemism for same-sex love. Pretty sure that it’s the “forbidden color” thing, but isn’t it amusing? Gay people in Tsukipro, real?]
