At A Far South Island
translation by Alinda Sue



At a far south island, I lived quietly

Nothing was done   Why?   I was looking for myself

From there, my heart was not able to return to the past
Already, what more than this is the mind to change

Someone is walking in search of me
Someone is walking in search of me
Always, this thing will continue

Quietly carrying it out…

Before long, the people who spoke of watching out for me
In the unknown interval, rose up their voices and shouted

From that, news of myself rushed throughout the world
Until this star ends, continuing to flow

Everyone - they are all gazing at me
Everyone - they are all gazing at me
But… even now, I want to continue walking on my own feet
