何処かで失くした手紙 見つけて手に取るような
そういうものに似ている けれどそこに書かれていることに 憶えは無い
It seems that I found a lost letter somewhere
But I can't remember what was written on it

自分の足跡 自分というものが生きていた証の それはいつかの紛い物
My footsteps, the proof that I lived, is just a sham from someday

だれもが生きて生きてそのいのち
何をそこに遺すのだろう
I wonder what everyone will leave behind
At the end of the lives they live and live

——その音に込めて。
——In that sound.

うたいおもいかなでたものたち
けれどわたしには そのすべて 知ることなど叶わない⋯
I have recited, felt, and performed*
But there's no way for me to know everything of that...

たとえばこの瞬間も 私の胸の底から
聞こえる生存の音 これもきっと生きていた証になってしまう
If I were to hear this moment, too, the sound of existence
From the bottom of my heart, it would surely become the proof that I lived

余りに頼りない 余りにも余所余所しくもどうにもならない かくもわずらわしい鼓動
A beat so unreliable, so distantly helpless, so irritating

わたしが生きて生きてそのいのち
たとえ何かを遺しても
Though I might leave something behind of
The life that I have lived and live

——この音のように。
——Like that sound.

うたいおもいかなでたものたち
けれど「わたし」には そのすべて 知ることなど叶わない⋯
I have recited, felt, and performed
But there's no way for "me" to know everything of that...

「私」が生きた人生——
そんな得体の知れない音跡
自分のたてた自分でない音 そんな独り善がりの「音楽」なんて、嗚呼⋯
The life that "I" have somebody has lived——
Is such a strange melody
A sound that I made that is not mine, that kind of conceited "music" memory is just, ah...

そうして生きて生きるこのいのち
いつかまた「わたし」はきっと
And in this life that I lived and live
Surely one day "I" will again

——この音を憎む。
——Come to hate this sound.

うたいおもいかなでるかぎりに
「私」の人生を続かせることに——
To prolong "my" somebody's life as long
As "I" they can recite, feel, and perform——

それでも生きて生きてこの鼓動
それを持つもののさだめと
But this beat life keeps on living and living
Along with the destiny of those who have that

——この音はかくも。
——This sound is so...

うたいおもいかなでていこう
けれど「わたし」には そのすべて 知らずに生きてほしい⋯
I'll recite, feel, and perform
But "I" would prefer to live while knowing nothing at all...

⋯わたしの、嫌いな、この音楽を。
...Of the music I hate.
