Singer	Hime/Rin	Mikoto/Len

Japanese	Romaji	English
ふつか目のほうか後に	futsuka me no houkago ni	After school on the second day,
となりのあのこはつれてかれた	tonari no ano ko wa tsuretekareta	the girl next to me was taken away.
カラスはくるまに轢かれ	karasu wa kuruma ni hikare	A raven was run over by a car
黑い　黑い　なみだをおよいでいる	kuroi kuroi namida o oyoideiru	and was swimming in black, black tears.
みっか目はやすみだった	mikka me wa yasumi datta	The third day was a day off.
や百やのむすこもつれてかれた	yaoya no musuko mo tsuretekareta	The greengrocer’s son was taken away, too.
「次に消えるのは誰ぢゃ」	"tsugi ni kieru no wa dare ja"	“Who’s gonna disappear next?”
みんな　みんな　なにかをしっている	minna minna nanika o shitteiru	Everyone, everyone knows something.
かえるがなくからかえろう	kaeru ga naku kara kaerou	The frogs are calling, so it’s time for us to head home.
かげがふりかえりぼくたちを嗤う	kage ga furikaeri bokutachi o warau	The shadows turn their heads and sneer at us.
そっとのぞいて視てごらん	sotto nozoite mite goran	Quietly, quietly, take a look—
そらからゆう闇は消えていた	sora kara yuuyami wa kieteita	twilight has vanished from the sky.
ゆう闇がおちてくるよ	yuuyami ga ochitekuru yo	Now, twilight is falling.
ぼくの躰は焼けおちる	boku no karada wa yakeochiru	I’m burning and falling.
ゆう闇はおちてゆくよ	yuuyami wa ochite yuku yo	Now, twilight is falling.
そしてぼくは消えた	soshite boku wa kieta	And so, I vanished.
足取りは重く、	ashidori wa omoku,	With a heavy gait,
まるで泥沼の中を進んでいるようだった。	marude doronuma no naka o susundeiru you datta.	I seemed to continue as if in a swamp.
赤黒いソレはぼくの足元に	akaguroi sore wa boku no ashimoto ni	Something dark red was at my feet.
水溜まりとなり広がっていく。	mizutamari to nari hirogatteiku.	It became a puddle and spread.
見知らぬ路地裏が目の前にはあった。	mishiranu rojiura ga me no mae ni wa atta.	An unfamiliar back alley was before my eyes.
ただそれだけだった。	tada sore dake datta.	That’s all it was.
黒猫が横たわっている。	kuroneko ga yokotawatte iru.	A black cat crossed my path.
彼女も夕闇に焼かれたのだろうか？	kanojo mo yuuyami ni yakareta no darou ka?	Was she burned by the dusk as well?
酷く濁った眼をしていた。	hidoku nigotta me o shiteita.	Her eyes were awfully cloudy.
僕はたまらず目を逸らした。	boku wa tamarazu me o sorashita.	I looked away without delay.
さぁ、さぁ、さぁ、さぁ……	saa, saa, saa, saa......	Now, now, now, now…
皆どこに消えた？	minna doko ni kieta?	Where did everyone disappear to?
ここには誰にもいない。そして、寒い	koko ni wa dare ni mo inai. soshite, samui	Nobody’s here. And it’s cold.
かえるが溶けたらかえろう	kaeru ga toketara kaerou	Once the frogs melt, let’s go home.
かげはふりかえりぼくたちとうたう	kage wa furikaeri bokutachi to utau	The shadows turn their heads and sing with us.
そっと除いてみてごらん	sotto nozoite mite goran	Quietly, quietly, get rid of them and look—
そらにはゆう闇がみえていた	sora ni wa yuuyami ga mieteita	twilight could be seen in the sky.
ゆう闇はおちてくるよ	yuuyami wa ochitekuru yo	Now, twilight is falling.
ぼくの躰も焼けおちる	boku no karada mo yakeochiru	I am burning and falling, too.
ゆう闇がおちてゆくよ	yuuyami ga ochite yuku yo	Now, twilight is falling.
そしてぼくも消えた	soshite boku mo kieta	And so, I vanished too.

English translation by Releska

The second day, after school,
the girl that sat next to me was taken away
The crow that was ran over by a car
is swimming in black, black tears

The third day, I didn't have classes
The greengrocer's son was also taken away
"Who'll be the next to disappear?"
Everyone, everyone, knew that something was up

The frogs are croaking, so let's go home
The shadows look back and laugh at us
Take a peek and see, if you'd like
The dusk disappeared from the sky

The dusk is falling
My body burns down

The dusk keeps falling
And then, I disappeared

I was walking sluggishly,
as if I was going through a swamp.
That deep-red liquid was at my feet,
making a puddle that grew ever big.
Before my eyes, I saw a strange back alley.
Nothing more.
A black cat is lying down.
Was she also burned by the dusk?
My eyes were awfully cloudy.
I couldn't help but look away.
Hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry......
Where has everyone disappeared off to?
There's no one here. So, it's cold

When the frogs dissolve, let's go home
The shadows look back and sing with us
Take them away quietly and see, if you'd like
You could see the dusk in the sky

The dusk is falling
My body is burning down too

The dusk keeps falling
And then, I disappeared too
