Kanashii hitomi no shinigami wa kataru
Anata ga watashi o sukuu mono na no ka
A god of death with sorrowful eyes speaks,
"Are you the one who will save me?"
Nozomazu ni yami o seou itami
Kono sugata mo nanto ozomashii
He bears the pain of a darkness that he never desired.
Even his appearance is repulsive.
Taiyō no yō na tatazumu shōjo wa
te o sashinoberu to eminagara kataru
A girl like the sun stands there.
She holds out her hand, smiling as she speaks.
Daijōbu Yami o hikiukemashō
Sono sugata mo tori ni kaemashō
"It's all right. I'll take your darkness upon myself.
And I'll change your form into a bird."
Sora o doko e nari to jiyū ni ikeba yoi
Ate ga nai no naraba watashi to tomo ni ikō
Shiroi tori wa tomo ni habataita
"You can go freely wherever you want in the sky.
If you have no end in mind, come along with me."
The white bird flapped its wings with her.
Amata no yami wa sukui o matte
shōjo wa subete te o sashinobete
Much darkness waited to be saved
and the girl extended her hand to all.
Sora o ōitsukusu shiroi tori hikitsure
fukai yoru no yō na sugata o shita shōjo
The girl took with her the white birds that covered the entire sky
and her appearance became as dark as the deepest night.
Sude ni sono karada wa yami ni mushibamarete
tsui ni chikara tsukite tsumetaku natte iku
Nageku tori wa yami o kuraidasu
Her body already consumed by darkness,
her strength finally used up, she grows cold.
The grieving birds start to devour her darkness.
Sora o ōitsukusu kuroi tori no naka de
konjiki ni kagayaku kimi no na wa Soreiyu
Among the black birds that cover the entire sky,
you who shine like gold are named Soleil.
