命火inochibi　どれ程dore hodoのno明るさakarusaでde燃やせばmoyaseba

Life flame — how brightly must I burn

一篇ippenにni届くtodokuのnoだろうdarou

Before it finds its way to even one verse?

A place of refuge that everyone longs to reach

Blending into the night, the rain comes pouring down

雨ameがga火hiをwo叩くtataku

And batters the flame

Stealing even the warmth from my cupped hands

生きたいikitaiとto揺らぐyuragu火種hidaneをwo　手放したくないtebanashitakunai

This wavering spark that wants to live — I don't want to let it go

Even when an ending comes someday

Because that won't be the true ending

次tsugiへeとto渡すwatasuためtameのnoバトンbaton　灯火tomoshibiにni変えてkaete

Turning the baton to pass forward into a small, guiding light
