魂流し (Tamashii Nagashi)

==Lyrics==
Japanese 	Romaji 	English
薄い心臓の襞をめくり 	usui shinzou no hida o mekuri 	Lifting the folds of my thin heart
吹き寄す哀しいの残響 	fukiyosu kanashii tooto no zankyou 	The echo of a sad, distant sound drifts on the wind to me遠音 means distant sound, but it’s usually pronounced “toone,” not “tooto.” “Tooto” is, however, how you would normally transcribe the German word for death, “Tod,” into Japanese. Take that as you will.
街はう魂流し 	machi wa sakiwau tamashii nagashi 	The town prospers with the flow of souls
幾千の灯りが舞う 	ikusen no akari ga mau 	Thousands of lights are dancing
 	 	
淡く洩る光の尾に縋り付いて 	awaku moru hikari no o ni sugaritsuite 	Clinging to the tail of a pale, leaking light
宵に浚われどれほど澪標 	yoi ni saraware dore hodo miotsukushi 	Swept away by the evening, how many route markers have I passed?Specifically, route markers along a waterway. “Miotsukushi” also sounds like 身を尽くし (to exhaust your body, more figuratively to pour all your energy into something); Japanese poetry has long employed wordplay that takes advantage of this.
掬い救えどもあえかなこの指の 	sukui sukuedo mo aeka na kono yubi no 	Though I try to scoop it up and save it,
隙間からまた命が零れてく 	sukima kara mata inochi ga koboreteku 	Life is spilling yet again through my fragile fingers
 	 	
祭は囃し立てり 	matsuri wa hayashitateri 	The festival is mocking me
月は東に日は西に 	tsuki wa higashi ni hi wa nishi ni 	The moon is in the east, the sun in the west
入相れた 夜は骸 	iriai zareta keitei yoru wa mukuro 	The siblings played at sunset; night is a corpse
より軽く 	utakata yori karuku 	Lighter and more fleeting
儚い 	hakanai 	Than transience itself
 	 	
淡く洩る光の尾を見送りて 	awaku moru hikari no o o miokurite 	Seeing off the tail of a pale, leaking light
独り旧い傷をぐ岩清水 	hitori furui kizu o sosogu iwashimizu 	I am alone as the water from the rocks settles on my old wounds like snow
掬い救えどもあえかなこの指の 	sukui sukuedo mo aeka na kono yubi no 	Though I try to scoop it up and save it,
隙間からまた命が零れてく 	sukima kara mata inochi ga koboreteku 	Life is spilling yet again through my fragile fingers
 	 	
恒河沙ほど不幸に穿たれて 	gougasha hodo fukou ni ugatarete 	Bombarded by innumerable misfortunes,
肺を漏る希望を離せるか 	hai o moru kibou o hanaseru ka 	Can I let go of the hope that leaks from my lungs?
呼吸はうねり幾千の灯を揺らす 	kokyuu wa uneri ikusen no hi o yurasu 	My breath swells, causing thousands of lights to waver
 	 	
流る魂逆巻いて 	nagaru tamashii sakamaite 	The flow of souls, surging in one direction
帰れ帰れと手を引く才の華 	kaere kaere to te o hiku sai no hana 	The flower of age tugs at my hand, saying “Go back, go back!”
掬い零せどあえかなこの指の先に 	sukui kobosedo aeka na kono yubi no saki ni	Though I scoop it up and spill it,
まだ命が掴めるか 	mada inochi ga tsukameru ka 	can these fragile fingers still grasp some life?
 	 	
嗚呼 夜は骸ーー 	aa yoru wa mukuro-- 	Ah, night is a corpse—
夜は骸ーー 	yoru wa mukuro 	Night is a corpse—
夜は骸ーー 	yoru wa mukuro 	Night is a corpse—
