UKIFUNE
lyrics: akiko hamada / music: yumi nakashima / translation: alainna & hana

The scent of spring and budding flowers
Won't bring you to petrified me

When summer comes, it's rain at dawn
Quietly I gather the pieces back together

After autumn has passed certainly I'll
Cut my flowing black hair

Beloved, I've been separated from your face for three days and already I've forgotten it
The only thing that's stains and won't disappear is the smell of your cigarettes  Waiting for you day after day is not enough, painful, the ringing never ends
The dischords echo each other
That's my never-dying, undissolving, never-ceasing-to-ring
Song of loneliness, lai lai lai...

Without leaving a secret break up hanging
The sound of footsteps suddenly cut off
Ah, the sad, beautiful white winter

Waiting for you day after day is not enough, painful, the ringing never ends
The dischords echo each other
That's my never-dying, undissolving, never-ceasing-to-ring
Song of lonliness, lai lai lai... Song of lonliness, lai lai lai
