"Yuki ni natte kieta futari" (We Became Snow and Vanished) by La'cryma Christi

'magic theatre' album

Lyrics: Levin, Music: Levin
Translation: Julia H., lacryma@rokujo.dreamhost.com
----------

Before I knew it the snow had started to fall
and was softly enfolding the town

The vividly dyed winter scene
invites me to a world of ice

If I look up at the sky
without even an umbrella
a white sigh slips through my hands

Without melting, frozen memories
became crumbling snow and vanished

Again and again you looked
at the dream that went to meet you and you awoke
there's already nothing that will surpass this winter
this heart-rending winter
the dream that went to meet you
was something that was between the the two of us, back then
even if the day comes when we can someday meet again
let's meet in a dream

I'm sorry I had to say "goodbye" to you
the two of us became snow and vanished

Again and again you looked
at the dream that went to meet you and you awoke
already there's nothing that will surpass this winter
this heart-rending winter
the dream that went to meet you
was something that was between the the two of us, back then
even if the day comes when we can someday meet again
let's meet in a dream

itsu no ma ni ka furidashita yuki ga
machi wo sotto tsutsumi kondeita

azayaka ni somare fuyu no jyoukei wa
koori no sekai e to sasou

kasa mo sasazu sora wo miageru to
shiroi iki ga boku no te wo surinukete

koori tsuiteita omoi wa tokezu ni
kudakete yuki ni natte kieta futari

kimi wo mukae ni iku yume wo nando mo mite me wo sameta
mou nido to sugiru koto no nai fuyu ga setsunakute
kimi wo mukae ni iku yume wa ano jidai no futari no mama de
itsuka mata aeru hi ga kite mo yume de aimashou

sayonara wo kimi ni iwasete gomen ne

kimi wo mukae ni iku yume wo nando mo mite me wo sameta
mou nido to sugiru koto no nai fuyu ga setsunakute
kimi wo mukae ni iku yume wa ano jidai no futari no mama de
itsuka mata aeru hi ga kite mo yume de aimashou

いつの間にか振り出した雪が
街をそっとつつみこんでいた

鮮やかに染まる冬の情景は
氷の世界へと誘う

傘もささず　空を見上げると
白い息が僕の手をすり抜けて

凍り付いていた　想いは溶けずに
砕けて雪になって消えた二人

君を迎えに行く夢を何度も見て目が覚めた
もう二度と過ぎることのない冬が切なくて
君を迎えに行く夢はあの時代の二人のままで
いつかまた会える日が来ても夢で会いましょう

”サヨナラ”を君に言わせてゴメンね
二人は雪になって消えた

君を迎えに行く夢を何度も見て目が覚めた
もう二度と過ぎることのない冬が切なくて
君を迎えに行く夢はあの時代の二人のままで
いつかまた会える日が来ても夢で会いましょう
