白露-HAKURO-
誰にも殺せない悲しみに
微笑みあった記憶を重ねて
どれだけ探し続けていても
お前だけがいない
お前だけがいない
炎に抱かれながら
夜空に魂を放ち
舞い散る桜のように
別れを告げずに消えた
置き去りにしたお前の涙を
千の光の星に変えて
途切れぬ闇を優しく包んで
いつまでもこの腕で抱きしめていたい
あの日の帰らぬ微笑が
孤独の狭間に語らい始める
どれだけ涙を流しても
お前は戻らない
お前は戻らない
濡れた夜風も
寄り添う鈴の音も
お前の大好きな夏が終わる
あの日と変わらぬこの場所で
お前が残した温もりを抱いて
叶わぬ願いを呟いた
「もう一度会いたい…」
今も殺せない悲しみに
微笑みあった記憶を重ねて
どれだけ探し続けていても
お前だけがいない
お前だけがいない

White Dew
I fill the sorrow that no one can erase1
with memories of us smiling together
No matter how much I continue to search
Only you are missing…
As the flames embraced you
you released your soul into the night sky2
Like falling cherry blossoms
you vanished without saying goodbye
I want to change the tears that you abandoned
into a thousand stars of light
to gently envelop the endless darkness
and hold you in my arms forever
The smile from that day that will never come home
begins to speak to me through the gaps in my solitude
No matter how many tears I shed
You will not return…
The damp night wind
and the sound of the bells nestled together
Your beloved summer ends
In this place that hasn’t changed since that day
I embraced the warmth you left behind
and whispered a wish that will never come true
“I want to see you again”
I fill the sorrow that no one can erase1
with memories of us smiling together
No matter how much I continue to search
Only you are missing…
In addition to literally meaning “white dew”, hakuro also refers to one of the 24 solar terms in the traditional East Asian calendar, covering approximately the middle two weeks of September. This is usually around the time when the weather in Japan transitions from summer heat to cooler autumn weather, so “End of Summer” may actually be a more appropriate English title.
