Sounds of my last breath

Yanagida Kumiko


Are you listening? 
To the sound of my last breaths. 
Even if in a moment those sounds stop, I am never regretful. 

If I close my eyes like this 
To me it was always you. 
Now what is going to happen you? Now what are you going to do? 

Those past memories of you and me and those times we spent together 
are all disappearing. 
My love, I have something to say this instant, 
That I love you. 
Are you listening? To the sound of my last breaths? 

You probably are there not knowing about my accident tonight. 
I suppose it would be best if you didn't know for forever, so that 
you would stay like that, always laughing. 

Those past memories of you and me and those times we spent together 
are all disappearing. 
My love, I have something to say this instant 
That I love you. 
Are you lisetning? To the sound of my last breaths? 

Even if in a moment those sounds stop... 

I am never regretful...
