Chichiris Song

By: Mikami

I never got to tell her.

I remember so clearly

The day of the Great Rains

He and She, beyond my view

And veiled in the torrents

As if my vows were nothing

My friend betrayed me

My love betrayed me

I was humiliated

She came to me crying

I could forgive her anything

But she seeks no forgiveness

He tried to help

But to no avail

The engagement was shattered

The rains poured hard

So hard

I took shelter in my kasa

That she wove

With her gentle hands

Hands Ill never hold again

He told me about the accident

I denied it, yet knew the truth

The river that held

Deceptive clear waters

Sucked my dear Kouran

Into a black oblivion

He told me it was an accident

I knew otherwise

I never told her I cared

I never forgave her

I weep, dreaming of her

Lonely, watery sepulcher

In the river
