Lyrics

Japanese

｢あの高さはどれ程でしょう？｣
と貴方は言っていた

幼いころ　お月様の下でキラキラの満ち欠けたどった

一つ棘に触れるたび　消えていく
ひとつもこぼさぬよう　てのひらですくってためた月はなくなっていた

さよなら
物言わぬ者たちよ
きっとずっとそうなのでしょう
キラキラと光る月は　ああ　雪色の蝶に溶け　涙になった

Romaji

'ano takasa wa dore hodo deshou?'
to anata wa itteita

osanai koro otsukisama no shita de kirakira no michikake tadotta

hitotsu toge ni furerutabi kiete iku
hitotsu mo kobosa nu youte no hira de sukuttetameta tsuki wa nakunatteita

sayonara
monoyuwa nu mono tachi yo
kitto zutto sou na no deshou
kirakira to hikaru tsuki wa aa yukiiro no chou ni toke namida ni natta
