JUPITER
Jupiter
Lyrics: Sakurai Atsushi
Translation: Lola
I begin to walk looking up at the helix of the moon* and see a single shooting star dancing in the sky
Only you're so small seen from there
As I wave my hand gently
Red drops stream down my cheeks, at least it's a sign of our farewell
I knew it had to be this way from the beginning, how could you return but...for just a little bit
I will forget the knife that is completely
Tearing my heart to pieces as it sinks deeply
An afterimage that comes to mind then vanishes behind my eyelids, a light that entirely resembled my mother
Then tears, blood and everyone wither and die
And soon are distant memories
I wonder if I continue to mourn, how long until
I can become kind once again?
Goodbye to the smiling face that was kind
Am I to sleep alone again tonight?
Red drops stream down my cheeks, at least it's a sign of our farewell
Tonight, even in the beautiful tears from the moon my body is stained
How much is a person to be hurt?
Perhaps tonight I can become kind?
Goodbye to the smiling face that was sad
Am I to sleep alone again tonight?
Notes: * Two things about this, 月の螺旋: 1) it makes me think of fireworks. A very specific kind. It's the kind that's...white...usually makes a loud bang but the then bursts into a dozen or so glittering stars that then spiral down streaming trails of glitter like shootings stars all the way to the earth.
2) it also makes me think of the Helix nebula, which is very beautiful and...depending on the shot can at times appear as though there is a moon ringed in a purple and red spiral glow. I've seen it quite often pictured with Jupiter as well...which is another reason why it comes to mind.

Now it's like you're sleeping peacefully so I'll leave once I've closed your eyes
Perhaps I'm tired of performing and dreaming and of everything else too
Lifeless fingers slip from my grasp forever as I stare intently
My voice won't come but I murmured softly
"I'm going now..." but I don't even know how to escape this pale room
Before the full moon you gently fluttered down
And were swept away with the waves forever "...for eternity"
There is no saving a body torn apart
Medicine just makes it more sad
If I sleep here one more time
From now on I'll sing well
If your twinkling star vanished
Then I would weep with love from then on
Now it's like you're sleeping peacefully so I'll leave once I've closed your eyes
Perhaps I'm tired of performing and dreaming and of everything else too
Before the full moon you gently fluttered down
And were swept away with the waves forever "...for eternity"
No amount of sympathy can fool my grief
Lies just makes it more painful
If I can meet you here one more time
From now on I'll sing well
If the glittering sea withered away
Then I would finally smile with love
