絶句

雨後虹懸空　　　　　(うごのにじそらにかかり) 残滴忽然落　　　　　(ざんてきぞこつぜんおつ) 憶昨夜君涙　　　　　(おくさくやきみのなみだ) 唯有絶句耳　　　　　(われただぜっくあるのみ) 忽醒独居室　　　　　(めがさめてへやでひとり) 月光独自看　　　　　(つきあかりみてるひとり) 憶昨夜失恋　　　　　(なくしたこいおもいだし) 唯有絶句耳　　　　　(ただぜっくするしかない) 僕には何も言えない *** English translation: “Zekku” **This song is based on “zekku,” the Japanese reading of the Chinese poetic form “jueju.” A five-character zekku is a quatrain made of four lines, each with five Chinese characters. In Japanese, however, “zekku” also means being speechless or lost for words.** After the rain, a rainbow stretches across the sky Suddenly, raindrops caught along that rainbow bridge fall and wet my face Those drops remind me of the tears I made you cry yesterday So I’m left speechless Alone in my room I suddenly find myself wide awake Alone in my room I stare blankly at the moonlight As I do, the reality of losing you hits me hard So my lips have frozen I have no words left to say to you
