Click to viewTranslation by excused_early:
In the sunshine filtering through foliage, you were smiling
The puppy sleeping on your lap looked peaceful, too
With a small book spread across the palm of your hand,
you were gently tracing words with your beautiful fingers
I used to think that those smiles of yours could save everything
Under the finite sky, you disappeared
Turning you from those days into memories, I don’t…
The sky I used to see in my fabricated dream is no more
In the translucent wind, you seemed so fragile, and I pulled you close
The image of you turning around still hasn’t left me
Repeating the words you gently whispered under the finite sky,
in my closed heart,
you are still smiling the same way you did back then
The voices of children that echo in the dusk
gradually disappear as they take your smiles away
Translation by amaiakuyume @ Moon-Struck:
In the sunlight shining through the trees you were smiling
Even the puppy asleep on your lap had a peaceful expression...
With a small book laying open in the palm of your hand
You trace the words with a pretty finger
With that smile, you could save anyone, I thought
Under the confines of the sky, you vanished1
As you were on that day into my memories...
In a made up dream, I saw
that sky, still...
In the translucent wind, I embraced you for just a moment
The image of you looking over your shoulder even now
still remains
Under the confines of the sky
Repeating the words you whispered softly
Inside my closed heart
Even now you are smiling the way you did back then...
The voices of children echoing in the evening
vanish, taking your smile with them...
