誰かが
私を
歌っている
 
雲の調べで
木々の
和音で
 
いつかやむ
心臓の
韻律
 
だが歌は続く
君を
讃えて
 
川底に
流れる
水の旋律

廃墟に
響く
夜の休止符
SONG
Someone
is singing
of me

in a tune of clouds
in a harmony of
trees
 
someday the rhyming
rhythm of my heart
will cease
 
but the song will go on
celebrating
you
 
The melody of water
will flow
along the river bottom
 
The pause of night
will echo
in the ruins
