14. Seisou Yakyoku

The cool breeze smells sweet, the double cherry blossoms, the silver water’s surface shines
When I look up, a madder sky

When I stop the winged sound of time, I would start rowing
Tonight this ship will go anywhere

I distantly think of that face watching the faraway beyond
Tell me about the scenery reflected in those eyes

Oh beloved you, when you take my hand and go walking, the sixteen-day-old moon
Washes away that heart
If it’s just an ephemeral dream, that’s fine
Until this love disappears the gap between the waves will be shaken

The spring breeze softly brushes my hair, a time when I hurried the feelings of someone I didn’t see yet

Where does that voice I can hear come from? It’s as if it’s only calling itself
Beyond the blue of that ocean, it was searching for you

Oh beloved you, snuggle up to me and let’s wait for the stars
Until Spica coming from the east melts into daybreak
It’s come to meet us crossing over a thousand worlds, until this love
becomes eternal
Let’s stay like this for a bit longer now

Oh space bridging this beautiful night sky,
If it comes true, the two of us now become a constellation

Oh beloved you, when you take my hand and go walking, the sixteen-day-old moon
Washes away that heart
If it’s just an ephemeral dream, that’s fine
Until this love disappears the gap between the waves will be shaken
