Singer: Meiko Kaji

Life or death is the path
Lonely
Women whose tears
Dried up long ago.
Was it a dream
Or reality?
It makes no sense -
Only one snow
Only an ice flow
That river,
Whose waves,
As steel is cold.
Thrown my body
Mad in this thread
And only an old umbrella
Stores
Me from bloody dew.
Inochi no michi wo
Yuku onna
Namida wa tooni
Sutemashita
Furimuita
Kawa ni
Toozakaru
Tabinohima
Tsuru wa Itteta
Ugokasu
Naita
Ame to kaze
Kieta mo mizu ni
Hotsure ga miutsushi
Misenai Namida sae
Janomeno kasa hitotsu.

The morning is dead
It
The grieving snow
Sew the white veil,
And the howling of stray dogs
From afar
Stretches like
Set of footprints.
And the whole milky Way
On my shoulder,
Only an old umbrella
Stores
Me from darkness.
Shindeita
Asa ni
Tomorai no
Yuki ga furu
Hagure inu no
Touboe
Geta no
Otokishimu
Iin na naomosa
Mitsumete aruku
Yami wo dakishimeru
Janomeno kasa hitotsu
