Hitori tachidomari sora wo miage toikakeru
Kono sekai ni okeru sonzai no riyuu to sono imi wo

Dareshimo ga kakaeta tanjou mo shuuen mo mata kanashimi wo uttaeru

Saite kaori karete horobiru
Umare shini yuku ikudomo
Kuchite kaeri soshite me wo fuku
Hito wa doko e mukau no darou?

Katachi wo nasu mono wa kowareru kara utsukushii
Hakanai yume hodo kagayaki wo hanatsu chiri to moeru

Ten to chi no hazama de yureugoku shikou no uzu ni

Saite kaori karete horobiru

Inochi no imi wo dore hodo motometemo
Sukui no kami wa hohoemi wo ukaberu dake

Saite kaori karete horobiru
Umare shini yuku ikudomo
Kuchite kaeri soshite me wo fuku
Hito wa doko e mukau no darou?

English

I stop alone, look up at the sky and ask
Why are we living in this world, and what is the meaning?

Once again I feel sad about the birth and death that comes for us all

We bloom, become fragrant, wither and die
We are born and die again and again
We rot, return to the earth and then bud again
Where are we headed?

Tangible things are all the more beautiful because they break
The more fleeting the dream, the brighter the dust as it burns

Is there an end
To this swirling vortex of thoughts in the space between heaven and earth?

We bloom, become fragrant, wither and die
We are born and die again and again
We rot, return to the earth and then bud again
Where are we headed?

No matter how much we seek the meaning of life
The god of salvation just smiles

We bloom, become fragrant, wither and die
We are born and die again and again
We rot, return to the earth and then bud again
Where are we headed?
