Asukagawa
The Asuka Riverkinou no fuchizo kyou no se ni naru
inishie no uta yo nani wo ima ni omoi tsutaeru
sotto nagare ukabu sasabune asu no okie wa ga mi wo nose
The darkness of yesterday becomes the hope of tomorrowzutto kawaranai mono ga aru no ka
This ancient song conveys what we feel right now
The leaf boat gently flows by drifting to the sea of tomorrow
meguri meguri yuki ima ni nokoru yume no koto
hito mo itsuka kiete yuku noka
kataku musubareta chigirisae mo toketeyuku
katachi todomezu afureyuku mizu no you ni
soredemo ato ni wa tsuyu ga kagayaku
Are there things that will never change?
Around and around we go into the city of dreams
Will we also disappear someday?
If only the strong binding promises begin to break
Like the water that floods and ceases to be
And yet leaves behind its sparkling dew
