Even when I shout "Don't go!", the wild bird flies to the sky
(Never say good bye) as those supple wings are redly dyed with courage.
Still unendingly begging for freedom, if you're leaving this paradise
for a still-unknown place, I want to keep you locked up.
Remember that forbidden, indulgent, beautiful day
even now, even though you're in a golden birdcage.
"Don't go!" In my heart, I can't help seeing that sinful dream --
(Never say goodbye) a dream where those feathers are torn out and soaked in crimson.
Why do you gaze at me with those sorrowful eyes? No matter how often you turn away,
I can't help wanting to embrace you just one more time.
Remember it: that time when, from within the depths of that secret forest,
you folded your wings softly (and settled on) this finger.
"Tell me!" Now, no matter whether blood pours out from (the wound of) my loneliness,
(Never say good bye) if you'd decided to fly away, you'd just stare ahead like that.
* repeat
"Tell me!" Come, close those heavy eyes and throw away the sky.
(Never say good bye) You'll probably get there someday, and cross the distant ocean.
