疾く、疾く、疾く！ (Toku, toku, toku!) – Swiftly, swiftly, swiftly!

from Kazeyomi kagura album.

——

Swiftly! Many piles of leaves flow in lines
All that is reflected is already too far
Swiftly! Even the wind, with a rushing speed
The world becomes just colours

The burning red autumn leaves
Flutter as they fall
The burning red autumn leaves
Before they are smeared with dirt

This demon’s hill, painted so red
Aim for the sunset which has finally dyed red
Come, spread those undyed black wings
And surpass even sound and light, anywhere

A single determined undyed green leaf
Amongst those which have changed their colour
A single determined undyed green leaf
Falls unchanged, ridiculed

Fog shrouds the trees
And slips through the spaces between them
Faster than any beast
Watching the distance it can’t reach

This demon’s hill, painted so red
Looking down from the bottom of the far far away illusion
Come, spread those shiny black wings
And fall like leaves, anywhere

The burning red autumn leaves and
The green leaves
Fall into dirt and rot together
Melting into the hill

This demon’s hill, painted so red
Aim for the sunset which has finally dyed red
Come, spread those undyed black wings
And surpass even sound and light, anywhere
Come, spread those shiny black wings
And fall like leaves, anywhere

Toku! Ikue mono ha ga sen to nagare
Utsuru subete wa sude ni tooku
Toku! Kaze suramo okisaru sokudo de
Sekai wa tada iro dake ni naru

Akaku moyuru momiji no ha ga
Kururi to ochite iku
Akaku moyuru momiji no ha ga
Tsuchi ni mamire yogoreru mae ni

Akaku akaku irodorareta kono youkai no yama wo
Sara ni akaku some ageru ano yuuhi mezashite
Saa somanu kuro no tsubasa wo hirogeyou
Oto sae hikari sae mo oikoshite dokomademo

I ni somanu ichimai no midori no ha
Shuui ga iro wo kaeyou tomo
I ni somanu ichimai no midori no ha
Kawaranu mama ni ochite warau

Kiri tachi komeru kigi no
Aima wo suri nukete
Donna kemono yori mo hayaku
Todokanai kanata wo mitsumete

Akaku akaku irodorareta kono youkai no yama wo
Tooku tooku gensou no hate kara mi oroshite
Saa nure hikaru kuro no tsubasa wo hiroge
Tada konoha no you ni ochite ikou dokomademo

Akaku moyuru momiji to
Midori iro no konoha
Tomo ni ochite yogore kusari
Yama ni toketeiku

Akaku akaku irodorareta kono youkai no yama wo
Sara ni akaku some ageru ano yuuhi mezashite
Saa somanu kuro no tsubasa wo hirogeyou
Oto sae hikari sae mo oikoshite dokomademo
Saa nure hikaru kuro no tsubasa wo hiroge
Tada konoha no you ni ochite ikou dokomademo

KANJI

疾く！　幾重もの葉が線と流れ
映るすべては既に遠く
疾く！　風すらも置き去る速度で
世界はただ色だけになる

紅く燃ゆる紅葉の葉が
くるりと落ちていく
紅く燃ゆる紅葉の葉が
土にまみれ汚れる前に

紅く紅く彩られたこの妖怪の山を
更に赤く染め上げるあの夕陽目指して
さあ染まぬ黒の翼を広げよう
音さえ光さえも追い越してどこまでも

意に染まぬ一枚の緑の葉
周囲が色を変えようとも
意に染まぬ一枚の緑の葉
変わらぬままに落ちて嗤う

霧　立ち込める木々の
合間をすり抜けて
どんな獣よりも速く
届かない彼方を見つめて

紅く紅く彩られたこの妖怪の山を
遠く遠く幻想の果てから見下ろして
さあ濡れ光る黒の翼を広げ
ただ木の葉のように落ちていこうどこまでも

紅く燃ゆる紅葉と
緑色の木の葉
共に落ちて汚れ腐り
山にとけていく

紅く紅く彩られたこの妖怪の山を
更に赤く染め上げるあの夕陽目指して
さあ染まぬ黒の翼を広げよう
音さえ光さえも追い越してどこまでも
さあ濡れ光る黒の翼を広げ
ただ木の葉のように落ちていこうどこまでも
