I don’t know why I still remember

Something once told to me

By someone from long ago

Whose face I don’t even recall.

It had to do with important things

That are unexpectedly nearby

And that they are things one cannot see.

That’s what he talked about.

And he said we were born imperfect

So, in order to someday attain perfection

La la la la…

When was I ever able to believe

In invisible things?

Now I see too much

And I don’t understand.

Lining up unrelated words on a piece of paper

They seem to form something resembling poetry

La la la la…

If I find an important thing

I don’t tell everyone.

If I have something I can protect

I’ll become very strong.

Didn’t I once say that I can’t stay long

In a place which always remains the same?

Let’s leave this world* together

Before the sun rises.

And he said we were born imperfect

So, in order to someday attain perfection

La la la la…

They say that we share our sadness, pain

And everything else so easily.

They say that, but if I could

Then I should have already done so.

Didn’t I once say that I can’t stay long

In a place which always remains the same?

Let’s leave this world together

Before the sun rises.

*Here she uses the word for “town”, referring to the place in which she lives. But Ayumi often uses the same word when referring to “world”, and so by the context I assumed she must mean it here, too.
