Aojiroi Tsuki taken from first album Chuu no Fuchi. The song is dedicated to the memory of Chisako's brother who drowned when she was a child. Incredible song.
When I was just a child,
My kind older brother died
but the deep sadness of the mother who bore him,
was like the sea.
That day even the wind blew gently.
The shoes he'd just bought left in disarray.
The pale moon is laughing
My icy heart has melted.
The pale moon knows the sadness of those left behind.
My brother who used to read me picture books
would soon be a star
when I was young I would look at the brightest star
and call out his name.
That day too, the light, the green, the wind, were gentle to me.
It was like nothing changed.
The pale moon is laughing.
The heart I closed off melted.
The pale moon knows the sadness of those left behind.
The pale moon is laughing.
That face shined upon laughed too.
those bruises won't go away but...
The pale moon is laughing
The pale moon knows
That pale moon was waiting for the bud in this hand to open.
If I were to follow the lines of the moon's memory,
If I could return to that day,
I would put a spring necklace made of three leaf clovers around your neck.
