A swallowtail butterfly showed itself to me
Fluttering around as if dancing
Under the moon in the middle of a summer night
Its jet black wings like the end of the world
With yellow for happiness
And blue for sorrow
I asked the traveller
Where are you going?
When will it end?
The traveller answered
There is no end
But I can end it for you
It was long ago that I saw him off
With a "well, take care then"
And he still hasn't returned
It's only now that I realize
That he was really me
I'm just glad I met you
The world was full of light
We could have just met in our dreams
But I wished to be loved
The world's expression changed
At the ends of the earth, the sky and sea mingle
There's no way to suddenly know the meaning
A poet breathed into a single word
But I want it to reach
My friend, and if possible, you
If this were a play
What a terrible story it would be
Never moving forward and never going back
Just standing alone
On the stage
If you wish it, I would sacrifice
Myself for you any time
I would shield you from the sparks raining down
Just scoop up the handful
Of my love that remains there
And place it in a corner of your heart
I'm just glad I met you
The world was full of light
We could have just met in our dreams
But I wished to be loved
The world's expression changed
At the ends of the earth, the sky and sea mingle
The butterfly that blossomed in the wilderness
On the other side of that shimmering scenery
Is an oasis I can't get near
Give me cool water
If you can, please love me
And rest your wings on my shoulder
