かえらず (Kaerazu)

==Lyrics==
Japanese 	Romaji 	English
煙を辿ってみても　其れは唯の曇です 	kemu o tadottemite mo sore wa tada no kumo desu 	I follow the trail of smoke, only to find the cloudy sky.
下を見下ろしても　其れは静な町です 	shita o mioroshite mo sore wa shitsukana machi desu 	I cast my eyes downward, only to find a quiet town.
 	 	
分かれても夏の日に　手招きされるが 	wakarete mo natsu no hi ni temaneki sareru ga 	Though I’ve gone my separate way, I’m still invited back every summer.
待ち人がいなければ　成り立ちませぬ 	machibito ga inakereba naritachi masenu 	But there’s no one waiting for me, so it’s all for naught.
瞳から涙が溢れます　覆水盆に返らず 	hitomi kara namida ga afuremasu fukusui bon ni kaerazu 	Tears are welling up in my eyes, but what’s gone won’t ever return.
 	 	
墓を見つめてみても　其れは汚れた石です 	haka o mitsumete mite mo sore wa yogoreta ishi desu 	I look at the grave, only to find a dirty stone.
腕を伸ばしてみても　其れは無意味なことです 	ude o nobashite mite mo sore wa muimina koto desu 	I try to touch it with my hand, only to find it a futile effort.
 	 	
祭囃しも遠い夢　行きの午も帰りの丑もいませぬ 	matsuri hayashi mo tooi yume iki no uma mo kaeri no ushi mo imasenu	The festival music is now a distant dream. There’s no one coming in the day or returning at night.
唇から漏れます　後の祭り 	kuchibiru kara moremasu ato no matsuri 	The words slip unbidden from my mouth. It’s too late.
我は盆に帰らず 	ware wa bon ni kaerazu 	I won’t return during Bon.The Bon Festival, which takes place in the summer, is a Japanese custom to honor the spirits of one's ancestors. The original video was uploaded on the day of the Bon Festival this year.
 	 	
気付いても時は既に遅し　帰る家も町もありませぬ 	kizuite mo toki wa sudeni ososhi kaeru ie mo machi mo arimasenu 	I’ve realized it too late. There’s no home, no town for me to return to.
神様と崇められても　結局は唯の幽霊 	kamisama to agame rarete mo kekkyoku wa tada no yuurei 	Though I’m revered as an ancestral spirit, in the end, I’m nothing but a ghost.
 	 	
別れても夏の日に　手招きされるが 	wakarete mo natsu no hi ni temaneki sareru ga 	Though I’ve gone my separate way, I’m still invited back every summer.
待ち人がいなければ　成り立ちませぬ 	machibito ga inakereba naritachi masenu 	But there’s no one waiting for me, so it’s all for naught.
 	 	
嗚呼　覆水盆に返らず 	aa fukusui bon ni kaerazu 	What’s gone won’t ever return,
我は盆に帰らず 	ware wa bon ni kaerazu 	just like how I won’t return during Bon.
 	 	
我は盆に帰れず 	ware wa bon ni kaerezu 	I can’t return during Bon.
