L'Arc~en~Ciel - White Feathers

music:ken / lyrics:hyde


shiroi hane ga mai ochiru heya no naka de kare wa e o egaku
nagame no yoi mado wa tozashita mama tori no e o
heya no sumi ni wa ashi o tsunagareta tori ga hisshi ni habataki
kare wa sore o kanashige ni mitsumete wa
kanojo ni omoi o hasete

  (In a room where white feathers are falling, he draws a picture.
  With the window with a nice view closed, he draws a picture of a bird.
  In the corner of the room, the bird whose feet are tied flaps its wings frantically.
  He watches this sadly,
  feeling for her.)

Will you please tell me the way to the sky
sugu soba ni ima iru no ni
Will you please tell me the way to the sky
too no ite yuku todokanai motto takaku

  (Although you're here by my side,
  you're getting away, and I can't reach you, though I go higher.)

...ima ga hiru na no ka yoru na no ka sae wakaranai...

  (...I don't even know if it's day or night...)

ikutsu mo no yoru o koete fui ni kare wa omoi mado o aketa
taiyoo to kaze ga heya ni hirogari
kare wa soto e tsuresatta

  (Many nights passed, and unexpectedly he opened the heavy window.
  The sun and wind spread into the room
  to take him away.)

Will you please tell me the way to the sky
mai agaru kaze no naka
Will you please tell me the way to the sky
tozashita mama
hane wa hirogarazu ochite yuku

  (In the swirling wind,
  the feathers that were locked away
  are falling straight down.)

It look like white feathers
sukoshi no yugami no ato ni subete o shiru kanawanu koto o

  (After a little distortion, I know everything that cannot be fulfilled.)

Will you please tell me the way to the sky
sugu soba ni iru no ni
Will you please tell me the way to the sky
yubisaki sae furerarenai
Will you please tell me the way to the sky
ano tori no yoo ni kono chi ni tsunagarete iru
Will you please tell me the way to the sky
aa sora wa nani mo kawarazu soko ni ita

  (Although you're here by my side,
  I can't touch even your fingertips.
  Like that bird, I'm tied to this earth.
  Ah, the unchanging sky exists there.)
