Lyrics
Die dreizehn Winter
The ground painted crimson with blood…
Was covered with white snow…
If only more snow would fall…and pile up…
I can't say…I didn't hope that…
The seasons go around…and as spring sings…
I'm sure you'll jump into flight…
And if I cannot stop you…
Then always staying…by your side…is my wish…
How long can people live…embracing the aspirations…
They dreamt of…in their childhood days…
The more we try chasing after…the truth…
the farther the shadow of it gets…
And when we look back behind…we find ourselves…standing on…top of corpses…
From that day…
When I ran away with you…how many seasons have passed?…
I close my eyes thinking…of the radiance of that light I can never return to…
My trembling neck…was wrapped up in warmth…
But just how many times more…do I have to bear this cold?
"Fight! You must fight!"
The words you told me…repeat in my head…
Even now…they are constantly echoing…
Those in hell who are still dreaming
And
those in paradise who have stopped dreaming
【Which are the blessed ones?】
The meaningless question disappears into the night…
Just as there are people who will cut their long hair
Likewise
There are people who will simply tie it up
【Which are the inconvenienced ones?】
My feelings of love feel at loss by the merciless question in my head…
I just want to stay by your side…
That alone is enough for me…
I have no need for anything else…
And yet, is this modest wish of mine…just my own《selfishness》 (ego)?
Or…
Will we grow apart without realising…?
While the seasons just pass by…
And the sun will set…as my wretched prayer disappears into the air…
The promise between us that will never be kept…wanders in dusk…
And while the pain…from the truth hurts… Can I still bear it?
"Fight! You must fight!"
The words from that day…repeat in my head
Even now…I can still clearly hear them echoing…
And when I wake up… I can see the blurring sky above me…
The world glimmers… On my freezing cheeks…
And even if I don't ask for it…
Spring will come this year as well…
And leave the 《13 winters》 (winter) behind…
Translated by Murkki.

血塗られた･･･ 赤い大地を･･･ 白い雪が･･･ 覆い隠した･･･ もっと深く･･･ 降り積もれば良いのにと･･･ 思わなくも･･･ ない･･･
季節が廻り･･･ 春が歌えば･･･ あなたはきっと･･･ 飛んで征くでしょう･･･ 止められない･･･ ならば何時もすぐ傍に･･･ いたいと･･･ 願った･･･
人は幼き日に･･･ 夢見てた憧れを･･･ いつまで抱いて･･･ 生きられるのだろう?
真実は･･･ 追えば追う程に･･･ 遠ざかる影･･･ 振り返り･･･ 立ち尽くす･･･ 屍の上で･･･
――――あの日から･･･
あなたと駆け抜けた･･･ 季節を数えては･･･ 戻らないヒカリの･･･ 眩さに目を閉じる…
震える首筋を･･･ 包み込む温もり･･･ 私はあと何度･･･ この寒さに耐えられる？
「戦え!」と･･･ 「戦え!」と･･･ 繰り返す･･･ あなたの言葉･･･ 今でも絶えず･･･ まだ響いてる･･･

ただ傍にいる･･･ それだけでいい･･･ 他には何も･･･ 要らないというのに･･･ ささやかな望みは･･･ 許されざる《自我》なのか?
――それとも･･････
知らずにすれ違う･･･ 季節を数えても･･･ 遣る瀬ない祈りの･･･ 虚しさ に日が暮れる･･･
果たせぬ約束が･･･ 彷徨える宵闇･･･ 私は真実の･･･ その痛みに堪えられる?
「戦え!」と･･･ 「戦え!」と･･･ 繰り返す･･･ あの日の言葉･･･ 今でも強く･･･ まだ響いてる･･･
目覚めれば･･･ 滲んだ空と･･･ 凍てつく頬に･･･ 煌めく世界･･･ 望まずとも･･･ 今年もまた春がくる･･･ 《13の冬》を置き去りに･･･
