Poem Lyrique
:: Poem Lyrique ::
My world
Knows only happiness.
I have a magical power
That is, I can see the memories of others.
For example, that man in white,
What sort of memories does he have?
Another magical power I have
Is
To make someone fall in love with me.
But all I want is happiness.
Then, let me see inside your heart.
What kind of past does it keep?
This......
His past life?
Or is it
What he really went through?
I have no way of knowing the truth
But I can see clearly
That endless yearning
That deep rooted love.
This memory is too sad.
It'd be better to
Make him forget.
This way,
He can be happy.
Someone once asked me,
Why keep probing into the past of others?
That is because
All along,
I've been wanting to know
What kind of love
Could have made me
At a thousand years ago
Turn into
A white dragon.
This ending is too sad.
It'd be better to
Forget me. [*]
[*] This line is ambiguous as it might also mean "Make me forget" (the opposite direction), but I went with my interpretation after watching the whole series.

La Cantabile D'amour
(1)
I often wonder
If we hadn't met that summer,
How differently our destiny would have turned out.
"Hey, are you all right?"
"Not dead yet."
Love at first sight
"We'd better escape first."
By the time I realize, I'm already with him,
Running for our lives across the world.
:: First Movement :: [*]
:: The Most Special Existence ::
The small house in the countryside
The sunbathed forest path
The quiet mountain roads
He and I.
Finally,
I confessed.
But he,
Could it be...
"For you."
"Thank you."
"Cherish it, it's highly valuable."
...That he also likes me a little?
"Idiot."
"Hey, wait for me!"
"Where to?"
"The sea."
-As we did when we were kids-
To the mountains
-As we did when we were kids-
"I wish I'd already been with you back then."
"We can just go together now."
"Yeah."
"But you can go with me only."
"Of course."
"Yeah."
Back then, I
Once made a wish
That I would have someone to accompany me
To the mountains
To the sea
Now
I've finally found him
So
Please remember
This small house at the countryside
Please remember
This fragrant flower
There, densely,
It's written full of
Our love.
[*] "Movement" here refers to a section in a musical composition (wiki).

"We're seriously going to discard the money at the beach?"
"Yeah."
:: Second Movement ::
:: Disharmonious Variation ::
"They wouldn't discover us this way, would they?"
"It'll be fine."
"But it looks like--"
"Relax."
But Destiny would not be so kind.
<893Boss> "You two are committing a crime."
<893Guy> "Where did you hide the money?"
"Don't touch that!"
<893Boss> "Be prepared to die."
<893Boss> "If you tell me where the money is,"
<893Boss> "I'll spare your life."
The news of his death reached me
Six months later.

:: Third Movement ::

:: Fourth Movement ::
:: Yearning Vibrato ::
It's him.

(5)
:: Fifth Movement ::
:: Brotherly Affection ::
I don't remember what I talked about on that day.
I just kept on talking
And watching his childlike laughing face.
One thing I'm sure of
Is that I've returned to the past.
His past
Family.
His past lover.
"By the way, this is my cousin who came from afar."
"How do you do."
"How do you do, how do you do."
"That was a lie."
"Eh?"
"I thought it was true."
"But we are definitely like real brothers."
"You sure are."
"Yeah, that's right... brothers."
/Why do I keep thinking of/
/That lonely expression of his?/
/What's wrong with me?/
"Hey."
"I have something for you."
As it turns out, even if I return to the past,
I will still
Fall in love with you.
And then I told him,
That I had a lover in The Future.
That was the truth. I wasn't lying.
"The two of you,"
"What kind of memories do you have?"
"We went to a lot of places together."
-The mountains-
-The sea-
"When we have time, I'll take you there."
"Hey."
We are brothers.
We are brothers.
The rain in my heart
Has stopped.
/They came here before./
We've finally made it here.
"Now I know the memories you two have."
"Yeah, memories."
I will never again fall in love with another.
Yeah, I believe so.
Yes, I will never love another
Other than you.

:: Sixth Movement ::
:: The Last Promise ::
If I had known
That would be the last time we saw each other, [*]
I wouldn't have let you be that stubborn.
"=== in The Future?" [*]
And I wouldn't === [*]
Pretending not to know
What you wanted to see in The Future.
Because I've always believed
Some things
Need not be said.
But you never understand.
You never give it careful thought.
I hate this side of you,
Because you're always
So dense.
Why have you never wondered
Why I chose to stay in this era?
But when you return,
You will surely have figured it out.
I am waiting for your return.

:: Seventh Movement ::
:: Destiny's Curse ::
Having arrived at The Future,
I am completely at loss.
What is this place?
And where... are they?
Could this be
A sign from Destiny
A plan by Destiny
To lead me to this place?
"Hey, I am your future self."
"It seems you are yet to know what will come to pass,"
"And why I exist."
-At the other side of the mirror-
"Are you the one he wants to see?"
"Yes."
"It seems that,"
"You have forgotten what day today is."
"That matter has to do with that other era."
"I have come to this era."
"You crossed through that mirror, I see."
"You have died in your first life."
"That is, on this day."
"A lonely wandering soul came to the Dragon Valley."
"Then why am I here now?"
"Because of your love for him."
"He begged me to help him."
"Saying, if he could see you one more time,"
"He was willing to pay any price."
"Remember what I said."
"Goodbye."
"You have no idea how glad I was."
"You have no idea how scary that place is."
"I'm only telling you all this to fulfill Destiny."
"The decision is yours."
This story is too strange.
This encounter is clearly
Another coincidence.
I did not love you.
Neither have I
Been with you.
I try hard to tell myself
If we stop loving each other,
You will be able to escape
Destiny's curse.
You will be able to gain happiness.
"Who are you?"
"I'm sorry, this may be very sudden."
"A man who said he once was a white dragon,"
"Asked me to find you."
"Because a good friend of mine,"
"For the sake of seeing me one more time,"
"Went to find the white dragon, and agreed to take his place."
"Please show me the entrance to the Dragon Valley."
"I want to tell you not to go,"
"But..."
This is Destiny.

Dragon Valley
A thousand and one nights
The loneliest wait
The utmost coldness
:: Eighth Movement ::
:: Sea-Forgetting River :: [*]
"I've been waiting for you."
"The person you're looking for"
"Is here."
"Let me see him."
"Sure."
"But you probably"
"Won't recognize him."
"He has turned into"
"This."
"What remains in this world"
"Is only his"
"Love for you."

Meanwhile
The wheel of Destiny turns once again.
If I could go along with Destiny
It would be wonderful.
At least I wouldn't have to struggle this much
To cross a thousand years.
:: Last Chapter ::
:: A Thousand-Year Legend ::
My future self
Told me a story.
A thousand years ago,
One boy,
For the sake of rescuing his lover
At the Sea-Forgetting River,
With the Dragon
Made a pact.
Because the boy's lover
Couldn't accept his own sudden
Death,
He willingly took the Dragon's place
In exchange for
A time-crossing enchantment,
So that he could see him one more time,
To fulfill that promise
-The mountains-
-The sea-
But he forgot that,
The boy, carrying a love that spanned two era,
After finding out the truth,
Certainly couldn't
Let him bear what those endless years
Bring,
The endless yearning.
But if he could only
Break through the entrance to the Dragon Valley,
He could surely save him.
However, no one could go against Destiny.
Their story
Has become a thousand-year legend.
That day, a lot of people saw
How a beautiful white dragon suddenly appeared in the sky
And countless star rays shot across the cloudy night sky.
The bits of starlight
Are like a lover's gentle watch.
I love you : Life
Love : This ocean whose ends cannot be seen
Love : This sunbathed forest path
Love : This fragrant flower
Love : That road leading to the distant unknown
Love : This home that belongs to you and me.
I often think,
If one summer day, we could meet again,
Then, our destiny
Probably wouldn't be any different.

But the boy's lover,
After rebirth,
Couldn't forget the pain in his heart.
But he doesn't know : why
One day
He lost
All his memories.
/This is what I can do for you/
/For the last time./
