Artist: L'Arc~en~Ciel
Title: A Silent Letter
Words: Hyde
Music: Ken

my finger tips can no longer reach the distant night sky
I'll undo the twinkling stars and set them free.

Stay with me until I fall asleep
don't let go with that gentle hand
like when I would get lost as a child

when I opened the window today,
I heard the footsteps of the season
ah you're manner and smiles are my everything

Stay with me what should I do ?
i may not always be able to look at you kindly
like when I would get lost as a child
...goodbyes are.

...I have been thinking about you.

Dear my love I'll cross even the farthest oceans with these arms
and I'll never be afraid again of the stormy days.
Are you feeling inbetween the rise and fall of the waves, looking up
the swirl of stars is beautiful,
like when I would get lost as a child
....goodbyes are.

Translator's Notes: In the last part of the song the word "namima" comes up it means between the waves. However the image painted here is very poetic and needs some clearing up. Imagine hyde trying to cross the sea to reach his lover ina far off place, but its of course impossible so he ends up just floating there, and as the tide rises and falls, only when it falls can he see the beautiful swirl of stars. Ahh. he can't let go.
