THE BLUE CRACK (AOI KIRETSU)
lyrics: hamada akiko / music: nakashima yumi / translation: hana

Why is it that sadness,
Incessantly fascinates me so?
On the washed, beautiful days
One moment, I saw an eternal light

I saw it one day
Love was wandering around
My body is torn up by the weight of the lightning
I was standing there, I was standing there
Painting the darkness   A blue crack

I clung to the back of the chair
I overlooked it, an eternal shadow
Occasionally, just a little, when I just want to cry
Playing together is playing with shadows

This repetitive life has been
Quite cut-and-paste
Somthing patched up, a cloth from anything available
Piled up countless times, piled up countless times
It's an old tear, still unpatched
A blue rip

I clung to the back of the chair
I overlooked it, an eternal shadow
Occasionally, just a little, when I just want to cry
Playing together is playing with shadows

This repetitive life has been
Quite cut-and-paste
Somthing patched up, a cloth from anything available
Piled up countless times, piled up countless times
It's an old tear, still unpatched


Notes: In the first chorus, the "aoi kiretsu" is a bolt of lightning, while in the second it's a tear in a fabric.
