Camellias... Front Cover

Lyric

Camellias...

RadioAmbient

むねがいたいよ

こころきしんで

My chest aches

My heart creaks, crying out

ほんがもえてる

むかしのことば

Books are burning—

Words I once read

A past I denied

(過去を否定していた)

Camellias in the garden

My father’s books

(庭に咲く椿 父の書物)

A few quiet, happy days

(あの静かで穏やかな日々)

The child I was—

Forgotten by me

(子供時代の自分 みずから忘れたこと)

Somewhere along the way

I lost nostalgia too

(いつの間に郷愁すら失くして)

That small place in the heart

(胸の奥のあの小さな場所、さえも)

Camellias…

はながもえてく

にわのつばき

Flowers are burning—

The camellias in the garden

むねにかくした

みえないあざ

Like an unseen bruise

Inside my chest

なつかしい

なつかしさ

みうしない

I feel it—nostalgia

Or just the echo of it

I lose sight of myself

なにも

したくない……

And want nothing at all…

Now I go looking

For the self I left behind

(いま、わたしは探している 置き去りにした自分自身を)

Into the dark

And from the dark

(暗闇へ、暗闇の中に)

わすれても

わすれない

うしなった

なつかしさ

Even if I forget, I cannot forget—

The “nostalgia” I lost

ぜんぶ

なにもない……

Everything…

There’s nothing left here
