The lyrics describe a moment of letting go, ‘I let go of our joined hands, letting this be the final end.’ Zuku uses natural scenes like a rippling afternoon and a falling sky to show the weight of parting. The song moves between past and present, blending nostalgia with quiet acceptance.
Kiekakatte iru mizuThe fading water,
Kokoro wa koe to asobumy heart plays with the voices.
Namidatsu gogo hitoriAlone on a rippling afternoon,
Ukabu booto no ue nifloating upon a boat.
Dareka ga mite iru tsukiThe moon someone is watching,
Myou ni sabishige na kuukithe strangely lonely air.
Kasaneta te o hodokuI let go of our joined hands,
Kore o saigo ni owariletting this be the final end.
Sora ga ochite kuruThe sky is falling,
Hirusagari no maku ga agaru noand the afternoon’s curtain rises.
Kyou wa nandome no utsukushii haruHow many beautiful springs is this today,
Gin no aachi o nuketepassing through the silver arch?
Minami e orite yukebaIf I go down to the south,
Yasashii hito hikari matou subete othe gentle person, everything clad in light,
Omoidase naiI can’t remember them,
(Kizu no afureru mama ni)(while the wounds keep overflowing).
Toumei na matsuge ni suwarikomuSitting on transparent eyelashes,
Mizuiro amai ano tenshi mitai nalike that sweet, light-blue angel,
Yokogao tomedonakua profile without end,
Mou ikanakuchaI’ve got to go now.

Sora ga ochite kuruThe sky is falling,
Hirusagari no maku ga agaru noand the afternoon’s curtain rises.
