A Butterfly Pinned Down
Translated by Jarek Zawadzki
How beautiful you are, oh butterfly,
But sadly from the display case you stare,
Stone-dead in a pose on a wing of an August day,
When you would rather hover in the air.
No wind now, lightly blowing, that may come
Will ever make you rise from non-existence
Or carry you as if a speck of dust
So that you savor altitude and distance.
No sunny ray will ever touch your wings,
The wings that sleep so widely open now.
You're like a sunless rainbow that upon
A pitch-black cloud has been bedimmed somehow.
No elm will ever more, for breakfast,
Treat you with its nectar or provide with shade,
No wind will ever ask you
To a dance upon a meadow or a forest glade.
Were you a gorgeous swallowtail,
You'd love sweet roses that are oft in garden grown
Around the palaces and thrones of kings,
These flowers alas have been to you unknown.
But there's a consolation from behind
The showcase glass you can observe all day
A nice scarce swallowtail pinned down,
Which (same as you)cannot take wing and fly away.

REBORN
Tears dissolve under the rain, wandering on the path of rebirth beyond the pain.
Can you hear cry your heart?
Let me hear cry your soul!
No pain! no gain! Don't fear.
Unable to look ahead, stopped and blocked by fake days, a facade of 'once more dice.'
Can you hear cry your heart?
Let me hear cry your soul!
No pain! no gain! Don't fear.
The reality soaked in the rotten rain is still a false breakdown.
This pain will eventually turn into a white future.
With a soul that needs no adornment, dye my heart and find me.
Livin' on the chaos.
Can you hear cry your heart?
Let me hear cry your soul!
No pain! no gain! Don't fear.
If you're afraid of the past and not seeking ahead, it won’t begin – a cloudy smile.
With this sorrow in my chest, toward the sky where light shines.
With a soul that knows no fear, open your eyes and find me.
Livin' on the chaos.
The rain wets my eyelids, showing the path ahead of pain as I walk the path of rebirth.

Mayfly
I think you were sometimes an egoist.
The smell of cigarettes and those words still linger in the classroom.
I can't throw away this dark past.
I can't throw away this terrifying present.
Why did you disappear?
That psychopathic smile of yours...
Why must the life of a mayfly be short?
Why did you disappear?
That psychopathic smile of yours...
You're always there in my memories and in my heart, I won't forget.
Even if my heart hurts,
Even if I feel the lessons,
I’m happy for the things you left behind.
Why did you disappear?
Why did you disappear?
The smell of cigarettes and those words still linger in the classroom.
Sleep peacefully, I’ll leave it to you.
I’ll carry your thoughts with me.

fu uh
Still, I haven't given up. Is it the same for you?
I think the world is small.
No matter how dark the place is, I can hear the music. In the attic with my eyes closed, I feel you.
Hoo~
Can you sleep tonight? I want to see you.
A necklace shining around your neck.
The things you gave me.
Suddenly, I think like this: I like the air outside, swaying. Even though there's a different, opposite side of me, I feel hope.
Hoo~
I'll stay in my heart.

-045-
In front of the phone, I was searching for words
I just wanted to say one word, 'Congratulations'
The love that disappeared last year
Your birthday
Gently, 045
Just the area code
I dialed and placed the receiver
But no, tears started to overflow right away
A quiet dream, you told me about it
The café on the hill overlooking Marine Tower
The seasons slowly
Melt away like water
Gently, 045
I entwined my fingers and walked
The mirage-like hill
The foreign ships swaying in the blurred sea
Gently, 045
Someday, to you
I want to smile
And say thank you from the bottom of my heart
