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

Itsu no hi ka watashi ga yuku toki ni wa

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
