When I was translating this song, I realized it was already posted... But it has a lot of errors...

Here's the one I made... The English already posted sounds very amateurish. (no offense to that person)

The guiding twilight,
The melting memories,
Closed up in
The amber world.

As I search for
Memories, too faraway,
I walk.

At the end of my journey,
I found it that day.
The warmth
I had finally obtained

Soaked in the morning dew
It lost it’s form
And it disappeared.

That person made the eyes of
The river of Oblivion, Lethe, as it flows
To the closed Nirvana.
He was standing still, and it was sad.

These overflowing feelings,
Seeking an answer,
Call

Everything is transient
In this illusion that cannot be touched.
Even so, I believe that everything is reality.

The light of someday
Is closed up deep
Inside of my heart, so


The photograph left behind
Of those gentle days
Is swallowed up by
The spreading red.

I, who has lost
What is precious to me,
Seek the shards in my dreams.


When I woke in the morning,
The remnants of the tears
Left of my cheeks
Is my only-


I get closer to someday
With these faint clues.
Even then, I remember.
----That light.




The slanting sun beams
The distant cicadas
You pull along my
High-spirited hand.

You are the person who
With a gentle smile,
Walked by my side.

We reach the road home
And on the way,
I stop my feet suddenly,
And I look back.

The stretching two shadows
Overlap as one,
And burn away.

Gazing at your face,
Dyed in the sunset
My face also is colored crimson.

The promise we made
Is locked preciously
Inside my heart.

Everything is transient,
A gentle dream, but
The warmth that was given
To my heart is indeed-


Because
The light of someday
Envelops me

In the depth of my sleep
The floating little ships
Head for the river bank
At full speed.

Awakening to
The dazzling morning sun,
I wipe away my dripping tears.

In the sky I gazed at,
The frolicking moon
Wanes,
And repeats.

The seasons change.
My memories are far in the distance
Even so, I will not forget
----That light.
