Fairy Rain
ama oto ga garasumado shizuku o otoshinazekashira shizukesa ga kokoro o mitasu no
The sound of rain drops beads of water on the window pane.
For some reason, this silence calms my heart.
furisosogu mizu wa mori no yousei
inochi aru subete no mono hagukunde iru
The pouring water nurtures the forest fairies
and all living things.
kigi no ha o tsutatte fukaku tsuchi ni kaeri
ikusen no toshitsuki o kizande iku
Following the tree leaves down, returning to deep within Mother Earth,
it counts away thousands of years…
itsu kara ka yousei mo sugata o kakushi
isogashii mainichi ni kimochi ga fusagu no
The fairies have all been hiding for so long;
the rush of everyday weighs down my soul.
ame no furu asa ni kiseki ga otozure
kikoenaku natte ita utagoe ga shita
On rainy mornings, a miracle occurs;
a voice I could no longer hear before has sung once more.
hitotsu mata hitotsu to ochiru mizu no merodii
osanai ano toki no komoriuta ne
The melody of the water falling over and over again
was my lullaby in childhood!
ame no furu asa ni tenshi ga orite
kawari iku kono daichi o midori ni tsutsumu
On rainy mornings, angels descend
and wrap this changing earth in green.
kigi no ha o tsutatte watashi no kami o nurashi
ikusen no toshitsuki o kurikaesu no
Following the leaves down, soaking my hair
The refrain of thousands of years…
