手紙 [Tegami] [English translation]

Can you hear it?

The light is shining through the leaves

Can you hear it?

The sound of the extending roots underground

Through the cracks of the trees

Reveal grass and rising bubbles

Can you hear it?

The sound of the bug's back being scorched by the sun

Can you hear it?

The children flying out of the door

Your cowering self on the station platform is taken away by the wind

Into a clearer day

That is, that is an ancient story

You've changed without knowing

People are letting go of their whereabouts

Like the hand that lets go of the music

Letters are falling down

Gently, gently from the sky

Letters will fall down and pile up

But you don't even notice

Can you hear it

You collapsing into the waves of people

Can you hear it

Someone asked if that was a performance

Nudging your knee at the crosswalk you are taken away by the wind

Into a clearer day

That is, that is the same story

You weren't able to change at all

People are protecting their whereabout

Like the music that shines in one's hands

Letters are falling down

Gently, gently from the sky

Letters will fall down and pile up

But you don't even notice
