atemonaku   aruiteta michi ga ima

Judgement Standard
translation by Alinda Sue

There is also no reliance. The way I had walked is now.
I am divided
What should I do?
I worry about not being decided
Again, I cannot sleep…

Why is the sky blue?
It has not applied to mind.
Why?   It might be needed here
Will the day I understand come?
Again, I can’t sleep…

Everything
If I meet those who think differently,
I will know also what I had not noticed until now.
Is that the truly it?

I am feeling that the way to happiness was traced
But… I spend time wondering
Is that just my own selfish thinking?
Again, I cannot sleep…
Again, I cannot sleep…
