Lyrics

Japanese Romaji English translation

空しさに 命捨て去りたいと
死にたいと 思う時さえ
この身体は かすり傷さえ
時を置かず 癒そうとしてる
人生に 意味が見つからないと
甲斐ないと 決め込んでも
この身体は 生きることを
選びとっている 命の不思議

生誕を 当然のこととして
価値あると 祝うのならば
死も同じく 命の自然の
選びとして 祝っていいもの
いつの日か 私が逝く時には
生も死も 憐れまずに
私という ひとかたまりの
願いどおりだと 祝ってほしい

私が逝くときにはきっと
やり遂げたこと 思い浮かべはしない
私が逝くときにはそっと
その面影 微笑むだけでいい
いつの日か 私が逝く時には
生も死も 憐れまずに
私という ひとかたまりの
願いどおりだと 祝ってほしい

Munashisa ni inochi sutesaritai to
Shinitai to omou toki sae
Kono karada wa kasurikizu sae
Toki wo okazu iyasou to shiteru
Jinsei ni imi ga mitsukaranai to
Kai nai to kimekondemo
Kono karada wa ikiru koto wo
Erabi totteiru inochi no fushigi

Seitan wo touzen no koto toshite
Kachi aru to iwau no naraba
Shi mo onajiku inochi no shizen no
Erabi toshite iwatte ii mono
Itsu no hi ka watashi ga yuku toki ni wa
Sei mo shi mo awaremazu ni
Watashi to iu hitokatamari no
Negai doori dato iwatte hoshii

Watashi ga yuku toki ni wa kitto
Yaritogeta koto omoi ukabe wa shinai
Watashi ga yuku toki ni wa sotto
Sono omokage hohoemu dake de ii
Itsu no hi ka watashi ga yuku toki ni wa
Sei mo shi mo awaremazu ni
Watashi to iu hitokatamari no
Negai doori dato iwatte hoshii

When I want to throw away my life in this emptiness
And die, even if it is just in my thoughts
This body, even if it is a mere scratch
Will try to heal in no time
Even when I see no meaning in life
And act as if there is no reason to live
This body will choose to live on
Such is the mystery of life

If giving birth is considered as a matter of fact
To be valuable and celebrated
Then death, as a natural part of life
Should also be considered as something worthy of celebration
One of these days when I pass away
In life or in death, and without pity
I wish for the lump that was me
To be celebrated for having fulfilled one's desires

During the time when I pass away
I do not want people to be reminded of my accomplishments
During the time when I pass away
I only want to leave behind a smile
One of these days when I pass away
In life or in death, and without pity
I wish for the lump that was me
To be celebrated for having fulfilled one's desires
