Dancing Funkos

幽華の蕾、春日に揺れて 

A ghost flower bud, swaying in the spring sunlight

季は巡り|  ki wa meguri
花開く| hanahiraku
想い巡り| omoi meguri
花は咲く| hana wa saku
Seasons recurring
Flowers open
Thoughts* recurring
Flowers bloom

—————–

夢に遊ぶ | yume ni asobu
蝶の翅 |   chou no hane
無垢の彩 | muku no iro
麗しくも | uruwashikumo
The wings of a butterfly
that plays in a dream 
pure* colors and patterns
movingly* beautiful

 —————-

さだめの糸絡むまま | sadame no ito karamu mama 
果てた常世の徒花 | hateta tokoyo no adabana

Entwined in the threads of fate 
the fruitless flower of an unchanging karma

 ——————

白い空に舞う淡雪のように | Shiroi sora ni mau awayuki no youni
手のひらの上　儚く消えた肖像 | tenohira no ue hakanaku kiete shouzou
薄紅に濡れた花景色の奥 | usube ni nureta hana keshiki no oku
末期看取る瞳に映した願い |matsugo mitoru hitomi ni utsushita negai 

Like powder snow, dancing in a white sky
A fleeting, disappeared portrait dancing in (his*) palm
In the depths of the scene of a flower, wettened in pale crimson
A wish, reflected in the eyes of those who await the final moments:

 ——————

哀しき命よ　どうか安らかに眠れ |  kanashiki inochi yo douka yasaraka ni nemure
現の罪は忘我の果てに置き去り | utsutsu no tsumi wa bouga no hate ni okizari
愛しき命よ　そうか安らかに眠れ | itoshiki inochiyo souka yasaraka ni nemure
凍えた胸に春風の満ちる日まで | kogoeta mune ni harukaze no michiru hi made

Pitiable life* — Oh, please rest in peace
Shed your worldly sins 
in the ecstasy of the end…
Oh, dearest life, 
rest in peace any way you can
until the day that the spring wind can  
fill your frozen heart…

——————

幾世の時を経てまた訪れる | Ikuyo no toki wo hete mata otozureru
爛漫の桜の園で | Ranman no sakura no sono de
響く歌はうたかたの夢の最果てであなたに | Hibiku uta wa utakata no yume no hatete de anata ni
きっと逢えること願って |Kitto aeru koto negatte

Generations of time pass – only to come once again

To a garden of cherry trees, resplendently blooming
This echoing song 
will certainly meet you, 
who lies in the furthest ends
of an ephemeral dream
I pray

季は巡り|  ki wa meguri
花開く| hanahiraku
想い巡り| omoi meguri
花は咲く| hana wa saku
Seasons recurring
Flowers open
Thoughts* recurring
Flowers bloom
