O little lost one,
Why have you come?
When your time comes, it’s not easy to move past fate, but
There must have been something you cuold have done to avoid this…
Ever human,
Living on alone,
You never ran from anything.
To your strong spirit, I lift my glass.
Shall I sing you a song,
A souvenir to this underworld?
At the very least let it be a parting gift, until we reach the other shore.
The stars flow on and on, into the distance.
Here now falls, an elegy.
May you keep
That same aspect of your
Unshakable soul
When you are reborn!
What accepts the end you face
Whenever, wherever,
That is the lycoris.
Eventually we will reach the other side and
You’ll have to face the end of your journey
But now, just make ripples on the water
O little lost one.
You have finally come.
You should have known that incorrigible
Clumsiness of yours would bring you this way…
Did you starve, and fall by the wayside?
Or were you eaten by something or another?
Or perhaps, were you able to spend your last moments happy,
Cared for by others?
Shall I sing
Of your proud will?
At the very least let it be a parting gift, until we reach the other shore.
The stars flow on and on, into the distance.
Here now falls, a lamentation.
Let the song
Of your soul roar!
Limitlessly
Far and endlessly!
What accepts living as sin
And its end as judgment,
That is the lycoris.
Soon we will reach the other side and
You’ll have to face the end of your journey
But now, just play amongst your memories
Assert those feelings you’ll leave behind, sing!
Before everything returns to nothing!
Make dance and turn the wheel of fate
In order to tie everything to existence
The stars ascend higher and higher, into the distance.
Here now rises, a eulogy.
Do not be afraid
Of the new journey
Ahead of you
Be strong, and carry on!
What you return to,
Forever turning in a spiral,
That is the lycoris.
Chase the stars
One day
Wish and love!
And then
One day
Race through the heavens.
