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
