==Lyrics==
Japanese 	Romaji 	English
鏡に映った花の如く散りゆく 	Kagami ni utsutta hana no gotoku chiri yuku 	Gently scattering like flowers reflected in a mirror
夢現　幻弄る手は空回り 	Yume utsutsu maboroshi masaguru te wa karamawari 	Drowsily, as if in a vision, a hand reaches out fruitlessly
 	 	
窓からチラリ　姿覗かせた（僕らは） 	Mado kara chirari sugata nozokaseta (bokura wa) 	Catching a fleeting glimpse of that form through the window (The two of us)
春の欠片たち　やがて消えてゆく（鏡に　縛られている） 	Haru no kakeratachi yagate kiete yuku (kagami ni shibararete iru) 	The fragments of spring gently fade away (are bound within the mirror)
人もまた然り　一生夢を追う（幻覚を見る） 	Hito mo mata shikari isshou yume o ou (genkaku o miru) 	It's how people' lives work too, to chase after a lifelong dream (Hallucinating)
（結局は）何も掴めずに　歳だけ重ねてく 	(Kekkyoku wa) nanimo tsukamezu ni toshi dake kasaneteku 	(In the end...) Gaining nothing, only the years continue to pile on
 	 	
夢の中　惑わされ　虚無に身を委ね（全ては） 	Yume no naka madowasare kyomu ni mi o yudane (subete wa) 	Deluded with a dream, giving oneself to nothingness (Everything is)
その姿　憐れむは　鏡にて　映された（誰が為） 	Sono sugata awaremu wa kagami nite utsusareta (dare ga tame) 	For that form, admiration is reflected by the mirror (for someone's sake)
君の掌に咲いた花 	Kimi no tenohira ni saita hana 	That flower that bloomed upon your palm
 	 	
この願いが叶うその時まで（散り落ちるモノは） 	Kono negai ga kanau sono toki made (chiri ochiru mono wa) 	Until the time when this wish is granted (That which scatters and falls)
弄る手はどこまでも手探り続けてく（あの日見た花） 	Masaguru te wa dokomade mo tesaguri tsuzuketeku (ano hi mita hana)	This hand will continue to reach out to the distance (Are the flower seen that day)
 	 	
水面に映った月の如くゆらりと 	Suimen ni utsutta tsuki no gotoku yurari to 	Wavering like the moon reflected upon the water's surface,
垣間見る面影追い駆けても届かない 	Kaima miru omokage oi kakete mo todokanai 	Chasing after that once glimpsed visage, it cannot be reached
 	 	
杯を手に　酔うまで帰らぬ（「今宵は） 	Sagazuki o te ni you made kaeranu ("koyoi wa) 	Sake cup in hand, not returning until drunk ("Tonight,)

月日が経っても　宴を続ける（虚しく過ごす） 	Tsukihi ga tatte mo utage o tsuzukeru (munashiku sugosu) 	Even if years pass, the banquet will continue (Passing in vain)
（結局は）気づかないうちに　白髪三千丈 	(Kekkyoku wa) kizukanai uchi ni shiraga sanzenjou 	(For in the end...) Unnoticed, my hair grows white in grief
 	 	
逆様のお月様　浮世を鎮める（救いは） 	Sakasama no otsukisama ukiyo o shizumeru (sukui wa) 	The reverse, upside down moon, calms this fleeting existence (Salvation)
月明かり　照らされて　沈む中　微睡んだ（この先） 	Tsukiakari terasarete shizumu naka madoronda (kono saki) 	The moonlight shines upon me, amidst sadness I doze off (is ahead of us)
君の掌に火を灯そう 	Kimi no tenohira ni hi o tomosou 	Let us light a fire upon your palm
 	 	
去り行く背中は今も眼に（ソレを照らすのは） 	Sariyuku senaka wa ima mo me ni (sore o terasu no wa) 	That parting back, even now it my gaze, (That which illuminates it)

君の掌に咲いた花 	Kimi no tenohira ni saita hana 	That flower that bloomed upon your palm
 	 	
この歌声　轟かせて　せめて君の元へ 	Kono utagoe todorokasete semete kimi no moto e 	At the least, let this singing voice ring out to where you are
この花弁　地に落ちても　またきっと綻びよう 	Kono hanabira ji ni ochite mo mata kitto hokorobiyou 	Even if these petals fall to the earth, I'll still surely smile
 	 	
この光を　輝かせて　まだ見えない君へ 	Kono hikari o kagayakasete mada mienai kimi e 	Let this light shine, towards you who I still cannot see
（この身が朽ち果てるその時まで） 	(Kono mi ga kuchihateru sono toki made) 	(Until the time that this body crumbles away)
月の照らす下で眠る　夢見つつ滅びる 	Tsuki no terasu shita de nemuru yume mitsutsu horobiru 	Sleeping beneath the glow of the moon, perishing in a dream
（弄る手はどこまでも手探り続けてく） 	(Masaguru te wa doko made mo tesaguri tsuzuketeku) 	(This hand will continue to reach out to the distance)
 	 	
（救いは）（散り落ちるモノは） 	(sukui wa) (Chiri ochiru mono wa) 	(Salvation) (That which scatters and falls)
