Toward the end of this other-worldly smexy song, he whispers something so faint it's barely audible.
What could he be saying??
We are including a couple of translations to the lyrics for your reference under the cut.
Translation by Amaia
Unable to even find my way
I slowly draw in on a delicate thread
the memories that seem about to fade in the wind
The voice of my heat astir clears my ears
"For what purpose could I possibly have been born..."
So it has asked
Unchanging, the moon gazes at me
Even now it will not answer
Let me hear, that voice...
Let me see, that dream...
Because even if I fall into unending sleep
I will not fear
Teach me, the truth...
Let me know, your sin...
And this body, hidden away
soaked with red tears...
Only the dearness itself grows
Unable to remember even my past name
there's nothing at all I can do now
Unchanging, the moon quietly
continued to send the rain falling down
Let me hear, that voice...
Let me see, that dream...
Because even if I fall into unending sleep
I will not fear
Teach me, the truth...
Let me know, your sin...
And this body, hidden away
soaked with red tears...
Translation by Excused_Early
Unable to even find my destination
With fine strings
I pulled in the memories that seem fragile enough to disappear in the wind
I focused on the voices of my murmuring heart
"For what on earth was I even born?"
So it asked
The moon still keeps gazing at me
Without giving me an answer just yet
Let me hear
Your voice…
Show me
Your dream…
Because even if I were to fall into sleep never to be awaken from
I would not fear it
Please tell me
The truth…
Give me a sign
Your sins…
This hidden form of mine
Soaked in red tears…
Only my love grows stronger
I can’t even remember my past names
But there’s nothing I can do
Unchanging and silent
The moon kept giving me the falling rain…
