Die dreizehn Winter

The ground painted crimson with blood...
Was covered with white snow...
I wish more snow would pile up...
I kind of think that way...

The seasons go around...and as spring sings...
I'm sure you'll jump into flight...
And if I cannot stop you...
Then I wish to always be by your side...

How long can people live...embracing the aspirations...
They dreamt of...in their childhood days...
The more we try chasing after the truth
The farther the shadow of it gets
And when we look back behind...
We find ourselves...standing on...top of corpses...

- From that day...
I counted the seasons...we have to run through
I close my eyes thinking...of the radiance of that light I can never return to...
My trembling neck...was wrapped up in warmth...
How many times more...do I have to bear this coldness?

"Fight! You must fight!"
The words you told me...repeat in my head...
Even now...they are constantly echoing...

Those in hell who are still dreaming
And
Those in paradise who have stopped dreaming
"Which are the blessed ones?"
The meaningless question disappears into the night...

Just as there are people who will cut their long hair
Likewise
There are people who will simply tie it up
"Which are the inconvenienced ones?"
My feelings of love feel at loss by the merciless question in my head...

I just want to stay by your side...
That alone is enough for me...
I have no need for anything else...
And yet, is this modest wish of mine...just my own ego?

-Or...
Will we grow apart without realizing...?
While the seasons just pass by...
And the sun will set...as my wretched prayer disappears into the air...
The promise between us that will never be kept...wanders in dusk...
And while the pain...from the truth hurts... Can I still bear it?

"Fight! You must fight!"
The words from that day...repeat in my head
Even now...I can still clearly hear them echoing...

And when I wake up... I can see the blurring sky above me...
The world glimmers... On my freezing cheeks...
And even if I don't ask for it...
Spring will come this year as well...
And leave the winter behind...
