Cicada

English Lyrics------------------------- Cicada Cicada, let me hear your summer song A seven day life is too short Seven years spent in the ground Must have felt like an eternity min min jii jii tsuku tsuku hoshi kana kana jiri jiri tsuku tsuku hoshi The cicada looked up to a particularly billowy cloud Having become accustomed to the white in the sky And the two day old asked How long will my life last? And the cloud said to the cicada When the day comes, you will know. Cicada, let me hear your summer song. Let me feel like life goes on forever. Let your song ring through the endless sky. Sing like there is no end in sight. The cicada looked up at the billowy cloud Its song now a familiar friend And the five day old asked Does time catch up with life? And the cloud said to the cicada Indeed it should. Because life always has an end. Cicada, let me hear your summer song. Let those seven days last forever And those seven years spent in the ground Let that all be a fleeting dream. min min jii jii tsuku tsuku hoshi kana kana jiri jiri tsuku tsuku hoshi The cloud looked down on the cicada Do you wish that there will be no end? And the seven day old said I no longer fret over how many days remain. The cicada, singing his summer song Even if his wings were to dry up, he'd surely keep on singing As if the song is keeping him alive And turning his fleeting dream into an everlasting memory.
