Ken Hirai - Elegy (aika)

Shigamitsuita senaka ni sotto tsume wo tatete

(As I clung to you, you dug your nails into my back)

Watashi wo kizamikonda motto yume no naka e

(And carved me, taking me deeper into a dream)

Hirahira maichiru hanabira ga hitotsu

(One of the fluttering, scattering flower petals)

Yurayura samayoi yukiba wo nakushita

(Wavers, wanders, it’s lost its place)

Sono te de sono te de watashi wo yogoshite

(Dirty me with your hands, with your hands)

Nando mo nando mo watashi wo kowashite

(Break me again and again, again and again)

Asebamu samishisa wo kasaneawase

(We put our two sweaty lonelinesses together)

Mabushikute mienai yami ni ochiteku

(And fall into a bright, invisible darkness)

Itsuka horobiyuku kono karada naraba

(If my body’s going to die one day)

Mushibamaretai anata no ai de

(Then I want it to rot from your love)

Kono yamai ni namae ga areba raku ni nareru

(I’d feel better if this sickness had a name)

Hamidasu koto ga kowai douka mure no naka e

(I’m afraid to stick out, I move into the crowd somehow)

Hirahira maichiru hanabira ga hitotsu

(One of the fluttering, scattering flower petals)

Yurayura samayoi anata wo mitsuketa

(Wavers, wanders, I’ve found you)

Kono te de kono te de anata wo yogoshite

(I’ll dirty you with my hands, with my hands)

Nando mo nando mo anata ni oborete

(And drown in you again and again, again and again)

Senaka awase no fuan to yorokobi

(Our two backs together gives me anxiety and happiness)

Namiuchinagara watashi wo tsukisasu

(That comes in waves, penetrating me)

Itsuka kiete yuku kono omoi naraba

(If this love’s going to die someday)

Ima hikisaite anata no ai de

(Tear me apart now with your love)

Sono te de sono te de watashi wo yogoshite

(Dirty me with your hands, with your hands)

Nando mo nando mo watashi wo kowashite

(Break me again and again, again and again)

Asebamu samishisa wo kasaneawase

(We put our two sweaty lonelinesses together)

Mabushikute mienai yami ni ochiteku

(And fall into a bright, invisible darkness)

Itsuka horobiyuku kono karada naraba

(If my body’s going to die one day)

Mushibamaretai anata no ai de

(Then I want it to rot from your love)

Watashi wo yogoshite sono te de sono te de

(With your hands, dirty me, dirty me)
