Laputa: Breath

02.4.16
Artist: Laputa
Title: Breath
Words: Aki
Music: Kouichi

I pour the soup to warm my freezing heart into a shapeless bowl,
and drink it down.

alone, the feeling grows fleetingly...

with a begging fingertip we long to confirm ourselves of one another
when it accumulates, you play hide n seek, romping childishly

this wretched loneliness goes on, endlessly

the sunset forest is covered in white snow
the grasses are longing for the Spring
made up with the funeral make up mixed with sighs
running around the grasses Breath, Breath of Mind

alone, the feeling grows fleetingly...
this wretched loneliness goes on, endlessly eternally

the sunset forest is covered in footsteps,
the grass sprout anew. Breath, breath of mind.

Translated By: Brian Stewart & Takako Sakuma

Translator's Notes: For some reason the author used two different kanji for ooware to be covered with. There's no difference in meaning.
