Tsuki Senichiya (月千一夜)

Tsuki Senichiya (月千一夜)  (One Thousand and One Moonlit Nights)

Ru kuroi tategami wo nabikase
Yoru ha shizuka ni tsubasa hiraku
Ru aoi tsuki ga mimamoru no ha
Wakare wo nageku musume no uta

Takaramono wo sagashimotome
Wakai hitomi ha tabi ni deru

Mezasu basho ha haruka tooku kagayaiteru
Sabaku no hate sobietatsu ougon no shiro
Mada minu sekai he moetatsu kibou no hi

Ru moeru hizashi ni tokenagara
Tadareta ashi de arukitsuzuketa
Ru kooru yami wo kugurinagara
Ikusennichi wo arukitsuzuketa

Nagaku tsuzuku tabiji no naka
Sabita hitomi to yaseta mune

Subete wo sutete made [bad word] [rakuen]
Sore ha suna no umi ni ukanda shinkirou
Kawaita tenohira surinukeru maboroshi

Ru kuroi tategami wo nabikase
Yoru ha shizuka ni tsubasa hiraku
Ru aoi tsuki ga mimamoru no ha
Wakare wo nageku musume no uta

I scrawl jet-black characters in the traditional downward lines
And then when the night comes, I quietly spread my wings
The pure blue moon watches over
The song of a girl lamenting a parting

My young eyes go on a journey
In search of a treasure I long for

The place I’m heading towards is sparkling far away
golden castle rises up high at the end of the desrt
That day, my hope flares up for that unfamiliar world

I walked, feet aching
Melting in the fierce rays of the sun
I kept walking for thousands of days
Through the freezing cold darkness

Throughout my long journey
My eyes rusted over and my chest grew thinner

(The paradise) that I threw it all away to go to
Is a mirage that loomed above the sea of sand
dream that slips through my dry hands

I daub jet-black characters in the traditional downward lines
And then when the night comes, I quietly spread my wings
The pure blue moon watches over
The song of a girl lamenting a parting
