ヴォカリーズ

人の世の常とは知りつ
千度来る 春の香りに酔いしれて
今､夢かまぼろしか
涙の奥の我に 行きつ戻りつ
走り去る 降る雨も便りに嬉し
水の音 逢うていつしかふけて行く

はや後朝のつれなく
知らせる時 うらみて憎くや
明くるる この短か夜
思い出でせば 数々あれど
云うて云われぬ おもいの丈は
またふたたび待つ身は
永き思いはやるせるもない 絵そら事

ああこの胸の高鳴りに
昨日の事もいにしえに
明日をも忘れただ一つ
見えてたはずが思わず
はっと見据えしが 見えもせず

光を見つめてひたすらに
行く水の流れのその先に
たどりつく果てもない
沈みし夕日の
燃えつきぬ 居続けて

人の世の常とは知りつ
千度来る 春の香りに酔いしれて
今､夢か
朝の雪の まばゆくも

Vocalise

Though I know it's the way of the world,
I'm intoxicated by the scent of spring that comes a thousand times,
Now, it's like a dream, a mirage,
I go back and forth within the depths of my tears,
The rushing rain is a welcome sight,
The sound of water merges, and time slips away.

Soon, the morning's cold farewell,
The time will come, and I'll resent you, I'll hate you,
This short night that dawns,
If I recall, there are countless memories,
Though I can't say them all, my heartfelt feelings,
I wait again, once more,
My enduring love is nothing but a fantasy, an empty picture.

Oh, my chest beats fast,
Even yesterday seems like long ago,
Forgetting tomorrow, I focus only on this moment,
I thought I could see it, but I didn't,
I looked intently, but I can't see it.

Staring at the light, desperately,
Beyond the flowing water's path,
There's no destination to reach,
The setting sun sinks,
It burns out, but remains.

Though I know it's the way of the world,
I'm intoxicated by the scent of spring that comes a thousand times,
Now, it's like a dream,
The morning snow, dazzlingly bright.
