Do As Infinity – 遠雷

Do As Infinity – Distant Thunder     

Under dense thunderheads on that day  

I was walking hand in hand with my mother with a sunshade in her hand  

Along a road in the summer  

With a voice nearly drowned out by a chorus of cicadas

She repeated, “Everyone is fated to live alone. I won’t look back”

Listening to the phrase I was too little to reply to,

I fell asleep on your back without crying

A premonition of an evening shower

Distant rumbling thunder

As if foretelling our lives after that day

As I get closer to your age on that day,

I realized the meaning of that phrase

Last tears I shed after crouching suddenly

Your feelings

Scent of that summer

蝉 [semi] a cicada
