Lyrics

Japanese そっと流れる 白い 乾いた雲が通る 灰色のわたしは ただじっと消えて行くのを 見てた 星を集めて つくる砂のお城に わたしのささやかな祈り 零れて落ちる その足元を 待ち伏せた波がさらう a world of darkness. a world of silence. 消えかかる祈り 風に煽られながら それでも灯り続けて わたしが幾度も縺れながら 冷えゆく手で つくる砂のお城を 待ち伏せた波がさらう あなたへ

English translation

Translation:

Quietly flowing
White
Dried clouds pass by
The ash-coloured me
Just watched their vanishing
Intently

Onto the castle of sand that I built
From gathering the stars
My tiny prayer
Falls
Waves that lay in waiting
Sweep you off your feet

A world of darkness
A world of silence

While the prayer that seems like it'll vanish soon
Is fanned by the wind
Nevertheless, I continued to light it
While I messed up again and again
The waves that lay in waiting
Sweep away the castle of sand that I built
With chilled hands

To you
