Kaze no Tani no Nausicaa

Kin-iro no hanabira chirashite Furimukeba | mabayui sougen Kumoma kara hikari ga saseba Karada-goto chuu ni ukabu no Yasashisa wa mienai tsubasa ne Tooku kara anata ga yonderu Ai-shiau hito wa daredemo Tobikata o shitte iru mono yo Kaze no Tani no Nausicaa Kami o karuku nabikase Kaze no Tani no Nausicaa Nemuru mori o tobikoe Aozora kara maiodoritara Yasashiku tsukamaete Hana ya ki ya kotori no kotoba o Anata ni mo oshiete agetai Naze hito wa kizutsukeau no Shiawase ni koishi o nagete Kaze no Tani no Nausicaa Shiroi kiri ga haretara Kaze no Tani no Nausicaa Te to te kataku nigitte Daichi kette tobitatsu no yo Haruka-na chiheisen Kaze no Tani no Nausicaa Nemuru mori o tobikoe Aozora kara maiodoritara Yasashiku tsukamaete

`Nausicaa of the Valley of Wind`

If I scatter the golden flower petals And turn around, if light shines On the dazzling field from a gap in the clouds, My body, too, will float in midair; Gentleness, you see, is invisible wings. You are calling me from far away; The people who love each other are all People who know how to fly. Nausicaa of the Valley of Wind Casually letting my hair flutter Nausicaa of the Valley of Wind Flying across the sleeping Forest If I dance from the blue sky, Gently catch me. To you, also, I want to teach The languages of flowers and trees and little birds; Why do people hurt each other, Throwing stones with joy? Nausicaa of the Valley of Wind If the white mist clears up Nausicaa of the Valley of Wind Holding each other's hands firmly Kicking off from the earth, we will fly away, To the distant horizon. Nausicaa of the Valley of Wind Flying across the sleeping Forest If I dance from the blue sky, Gently catch me.

`Fairy of the Wind`

You, being in the vicinity of loneliness, Are obviously blue and a bit depressed. At this kind of time, call me And I'll cheer you up. Even the bird that hurt its wing last night Flies about cheerfully this morning. If you happen to get hurt, I'll be sure and teach you how. The fairy of the wind, spreading glass wings, Wants to fly in the sea of the galaxy. The fairy of the wind can by no means do it, but For your sake she will try to live. Long ago, there being a great war, it erased the forms of all the flowers, but Amidst the wind, one ring blooms: That strength is beloved. The fairy of the wind, spreading glass wings, Rides the air currents and dances up. The fairy of the wind can by no means do it, but For your sake she will try to live.

(Miyako Harumi)

`Love is a Flower, You are Its Seed`

That love which sweeps away gentleness, it is a river; That love which cuts the spirit to pieces, it is a cleaver; A thirst which does not waver Is said to be love, but Love is a flower, the blossom of life: You are its seed. When you fear that one shall confine you with kicks Your heart does not dance When you fear that one shall awaken you Your dreams put chances to flight The one being deprived by hate Does not provide himself a soul While when fearing your dying You cannot manage to live. In the long night, all by yourself On the long way, all by yourself Such a thing as "love" is not friendly: When you think that, Look at the winter and remember Even though it is buried beneath the snow A seed, in the love of the spring sun, Will blossom into a flower.
