"Warm Snow" by La'cryma Christi

'Dwellers of a Sandcastle' album

Lyrics: Taka, Music: Hiro, Shuse
Translation: Julia H., lacryma@rokujo.dreamhost.com
----------

The hour when the very core of my swimming body relaxes winter's river

When three months of contact lenses begins
a white scorpion is dyed in the moon and sparkles
take me on your back
over to the far shore
Moistening eyes, tender voice
looks like you're going to cry

The heavy dark sky breaks
snow softly begins to fall
I shrugged my shoulders

Riding the scorpion of your frightened eyes
believing in you, believing in tears

The heavy dark sky breaks
snow softly begins to fall
I shrugged my shoulders
playing the inside of my bones with a harmonica of blue poison

from my body's sinking heart
a view of a painted spiral is falling
the scorpion is watching
while I rest my chin in my hands
the scorpion cried
in the white night . . .

There is no warmth any more
There is no blood any more
There is no snow any more
There is no love any more

Oyoideita karada no shin kara
fuyu no kawa wo kutsurogu hitotsu toki

contakuto rensu no mikka tsuki ga deteiru goro
shiroi sasori ga tsuki ni somari kagayaiteta
mukou kishi made se ni nosete tsurete itte yo
me wo urumaseteru kabosoi koe naki dashisou

kuraku omoi sora ga warete yuki ga kobore hajimedasu kata wo sukumeteta

obieta me no sasori wo nosete
kimi wo shinji namida wo shinjite

kuraku omoi sora ga warete yuki ga kobore hajimedasu kata wo sukumeteta
aoi doku no hamonika hone no naka wo kanadete yuku

shinzundeyuku karada no shin kara rasen egaki shikai wa ochiyuku
sasori wa miteru hoodzue wo tsuita mama
sasori wa naita shiroi yoru ni

There is no warmth any more
There is no blood any more
There is no snow any more
There is no love any more

泳いでいた体の芯から
冬の川をくつろぐ一時

コンタクトレンスの三日月が出ている頃
白いサソリが月に染まり輝いてた
向こう岸まで背に乗せて連れて行ってよ
目を潤ませてる かぼそい声 泣き出しそう

暗く重い空が割れて 雪がこぼれ始めだす 肩をすくめてた

怯えた目の サソリを乗せて
君を信じ 涙を 信じて

暗く重い空が割れて 雪がこぼれ始めだす 肩をすくめてた
蒼い毒のハーモニカ 骨の中を奏でてゆく

沈んでゆく体の芯から 螺旋描き視界は墜ちゆく
サソリは見てる　頬杖を突いたまま
サソリは泣いた　白い夜に。。。

There is no warmth any more
There is no blood any more
There is no snow any more
There is no love any more
