月に羽根を染めた

夜鶯が舞い降り

馨しき憂いの百合へと

問いかける

何故あなたは

夜毎　花を濡らして

美しい宵を

ただ泣いて過ごすの？

　それは恋しい人が

　娘を抱くから

　やさしく触れた指が

　忘れられずに

　枯れるだけのこの身が

　哀れで悲しい

　あの人の胸のなか

　香れるならば

　一夜の命も惜しまぬのに

百合は答え甘く慄える

森の苔の褥

彷徨うのは娘

葉末の間から

夜鶯は訊ねる

何故あなたは

ひとり暗い小径を

茨に血を流し

迷い込んだの？

　それは恋しい人が

　去って行ったから

　移ろい変わるものは

　時だけじゃなく

　人の愛と心と

　知ってしまったの

　愛しい腕のなかに

　戻れぬならば

　もう夢の欠片も見えぬでしょう

長い髪に薄闇が散る

やがて娘は

朽ちた百合の根元に

倒れてその目蓋を

閉じて動かない

乱れるように開く

花の底から

黄金の花粉は降り注ぐ

移ろい揺らぐものが

儚いのなら

清らかなまま昇る

魂はどこへ

白い墓標の上で

囀る夜鶯は

天使の翼に憧れて

一晩中

羽搏きました

Habatakimashita

Dyed its wings by the moon

The nightingale flies down

And asks the lily of fragrant sorrow

A question

Why are you

Drenching your flowers every night

And spending the beautiful evening

Only crying?

　Because the person I'm in love with

　Is embracing a girl

　Without forgetting

　The fingers that he gently touched

　This body that is just withering

　Is helpless and sad

　But if I can be fragrant

　Inside the heart of that person

　I will not regret my life of this one night

The lily answers by shivering pleasantly

On moss cushion of the forest

The girl is wandering

From between the tips of the leaves

Nightingale asks her

Why are you alone

On this dark, narrow path

Bleeding in the thorns?

Have you lost your way?

　Because the person I'm in love with

　Has left me

　The fading, changing things

　Are not only time

　But the love and hearts of people

　I have known this

　If I cannot go back

　Into those beloved one's arms

　I no longer see the fragments of my dreams anymore

The twilight is falling on her long hair

Soon, the girl

Falls on rotten lily roots

And her eyelids closed

Never to open again

As if it were confusingly opening

From the bottom of the flower

Is a golden pollen that is pouring out

If the fading and shaking things

Are ephemeral

To where will their souls

Ascend purely?

The chirping nightingale

On the white gravestone

Is yearning for the wings of an angel

Throughout the night

The nightingale flapped its wings
