Lyrics and translation Shinji Tanimura - 群青

群青

空を染めてゆく この雪が静かに
海に積もりて 波を凍らせる
空を染めてゆく この雪が静かに
海を眠らせ 貴方を眠らせる
手折れば散る 薄紫の
野辺に咲きたる 一輪の
花に似て 儚なきは人の命か
せめて海に散れ 想いが届かば
せめて海に咲け 心の冬薔薇

老いた足どりで 想いを巡らせ
海に向いて 一人立たずめば
我より先に逝く 不幸は許せど
残りて哀しみを 抱く身のつらさよ
君を背おい 歩いた日の
ぬくもり背中に 消えかけて
泣けと如く群青の 海に降る雪
砂に腹這いて 海の声を聞く
待っていておくれ もうすぐ還るよ

空を染めてゆく この雪が静かに
海に積もりて 波を凍らせる
空を染めてゆく この雪が静かに
海を眠らせて 貴方を眠らせる

Indigoblu

This snow, dyeing the sky, quietly
Accumulates on the sea, freezing the waves
This snow, dyeing the sky, quietly
Puts the sea to sleep, puts you to sleep
If I pluck it, it will scatter, a pale purple
Blossoming in the fields, a single
Flower, similar to mortality, transient
If only my thoughts could reach you, scattered across the sea
If only my heart could bloom, a winter rose on the sea

With aged steps, I wander through my thoughts
Facing the sea, I stand alone
I can forgive the misfortune of you leaving before me
But the pain of being left behind, to grieve, is unbearable
Carrying you on my back, the warmth of that day
Fades on my back, almost gone
As if to say, cry, the snow falls on the indigo sea
Lying on the sand, I listen to the voice of the sea
Please wait for me, I'll be back soon

This snow, dyeing the sky, quietly
Accumulates on the sea, freezing the waves
This snow, dyeing the sky, quietly
Puts the sea to sleep, puts you to sleep
