The mountain's edge, the moon is full
+
Taking breath, your forest
+
Bask and sleep in the summer grass
+
Your precious face in profile
+
Tears of silver to the vast earth
+
The cocoons that are pupae
+
Will change bodies seven times
+
Dye it blue, lalalu lalalu The longed-for round cocoon
+
It will become a swallowtail butterfly
+
Before long it will envelop the sky Wing patterns of infinity
+
Making life sparkle brilliantly
+
That moon, if it were you
+
Without duplicating sadness
+
Would watch the wavering of the world
+
And try flying without lament
+
Sing into the wind, lalalu lalalu Wings reflect the moon
+
It will become a swallowtail butterfly
+
Born one trembling night A butterfly that spans the galaxy
+
Making life sparkle brilliantly
+
Dye it blue, lalalu lalalu The longed-for round cocoon
+
It will become a swallowtail butterfly
+
Before long it will envelop the sky Wing patterns of infinity
+
Making life sparkle brilliantly
+
