Romaji:

Kotonoha tada tada
Omou hodo toozakaru
Kage moyou ni hibiki wataru semishigure

Utaeba koi tomedonaku afuru
Saku no wa hana yume maboroshi

Sore wa sore wa toki no kanata he
Awaku awaku nao hakanaku
Yagate yagate utakata to kiete yuku darou

Kotonoha tada tada
Hitori kiri ukabete wa
Kurikaeshite kakera wo sagashite
Soredemo tada tada
Omou hodo toozakaru
Kage moyou ni hibiki wataru semishigure

Tsudzureba koi tomedonaku afuru
Nozomu wa ama tsuyusora kumo

Sore wa sore wa nagi no minamo ni
Sayaka sayaka mada kiezu ni
Setsuna setsuna kokoro wo shimetsuke tsudzukeru

Kotonoha tada tada
Hitori kiri kanadete wa
Kaze ni nosete sora he to kaeshite
Soredemo tada tada
Ajisai wa ama michi ni
Itsukushimi no iro tataete sakihokoru

Fui ni mimi kasumeta koe ni ashi wo tomete furikaeredo…

Kotonoha tada tada
Hitori kiri ukabete wa
Kurikaeshite kakera wo sagashite
Soredemo tada tada
Omou hodo toozakaru
Kage moyou ni hibiki wataru semishigure

Kanji:

言ノ葉　唯　唯

想ふ程　遠ざかる

影模様に　響き渡る　蝉時雨

詩へば　恋　止め処なく溢る

咲くのは　花　夢幻

それは　それは　時の彼方へ

淡く　淡く　尚　儚く

やがて　やがて　泡沫と消えて行くだろう

言ノ葉　唯　唯

一人きり　浮かべては

繰り返して　欠片を探して

それでも　唯　唯

想ふ程　遠ざかる

影模様に　響き渡る　蝉時雨

綴れば　恋　止め処なく溢る

望むは　天　梅雨空雲

それは　それは　凪の水面に

清か　清か　未だ　消えずに

刹那　刹那　心を締め付け続ける

言ノ葉　唯　唯

一人きり　奏でては

風に乗せて　空へと還して

それでも　唯　唯

紫陽花は　雨道に

慈しみの　色湛えて　咲き誇る

不意に　耳掠めた　声に　足を止めて　振り返れど…

言ノ葉　唯　唯

一人きり　浮かべては

繰り返して　欠片を探して

それでも　唯　唯

想ふ程　遠ざかる

影模様に　響き渡る　蝉時雨


English:

Words are merely, merely

Cast far off the more I think of them

And an outburst of cricket chirpings, resound in the patterns of shadows

The love I have towards poems, unceasingly overflows

And what blooms from them are my flower-like fantasies

And those, those go far off into the distance of time

Fleetingly, fleetingly those become even more transient

And finally, finally they would probably go on 
disappearing as bubbles on the surface of liquid

Words I merely, merely

Imagine them all on my own

Repeat them and look for their broken pieces

And even then, they're merely, merely

Cast far off the more I think of them

And an outburst of cricket chirpings, resound in the patterns of shadows

If I were to spell it out, my love would unceasingly overflow

What I desire are the heavens, an overcast of clouds in the rainy season

And those, those on the calm water's surface

Clearly, clearly without yet disappering

In the moment, in the moment, they continue to tighten my heart

Words I merely, merely

Sing them all on my own

Place them on the wind and send them off to the sky

But even then, merely, merely

The Hydrangeas on the rainy road

Being filled to the brim with love, are in full bloom

The voice that suddenly hints at my ear suddenly 
causes me to stop and turn around...

Words I merely, merely

Imagine them all on my own

Repeat them and look for their broken pieces

And even then, they're merely, merely

Cast far off the more I think of them
And an outburst of cricket chirping, 
resound in the patterns of shadows
