Mikami Chisako: Sakanai Hana
01.08.05
Artist: Mikami Chisako Title: Sakanai Hana Words: Mikami Chisako Music: Mikami Chisako the day I learned there were flowers which don't bloom still jostling in the breeze the day I lost sight of what was stable the world looked like just another picture. by myself, stopped on the bank I saw myself relfected, tiny on the water's surface I'd known all along but I'd refused to see my body was trying in earnest to live I don't have wings. if I can't go to the place I dream of I'll wither here and die. I think, in a room now bare, that if no one wants you, you must end up staying along a road that just goes on and on even if you scream out, not a sound, flightless. enough, enough of this. even if I convince myself it's not something I can throw away. I'd known all along because I knew that the reason something can sparkle is that time doesn't last forever there's no tomorrow If you don't go right now, you'll just fade away. enough, I'm beat. even if I can't take that first step I can just stay right here as I am. I don't want to do anything. I'd known all along but I'd refused to see even though my body was trying in earnest to live I didn't have wings if I don't have a place of my own no one will save me. I'd built it for so long even in this place, I'm myself this is the only place I can call home forget it, if I can't bloom I'll love that, can I be myself? this is all I have now. I'm just alive. Translated By: Brian Stewart & Takako Sakuma Translator's Notes: This song is also known as Tobenai Tori as performed by Mikami's band fra-foa.
