Oh time, stop Stop in my hands A sliver of rain pauses and disappears Don’t we call fully knowing that no one will grow accustomed to you eternity My feelings, as if they’re twined around my fingers, keep gradually burning this night They slip through the end of a goodbye and hold my body even now Firefly – soar through this planet Dance and shine near and far You are the one who taught me that this moment is eternity Oh time, stop Stop in my hands Light’s shadow fades and drops Our palms held tightly together keep making a sweaty fever rise By my side, by my side, repeatedly you hold my sorrow even now Firefly – soar through this darkness Dance in this night sky made hazy by tears You are the one who taught me that this moment is anything and everything Without caring if I break the glass, I keep exposing my incompetence --what a slight thing love is --that summer I relied on Firefly – soar through this planet Dance and shine near and far You are the one who taught me that this moment is eternity Firefly – burn my heart brightly Dance and glitter strong and weak You are the one who answered me You are the one who taught me that all time is one moment |
Song info: Theme song for the film Last Game--Saigo no Soukeisen [The Last Baseball Game Between Waseda University and Keio University], a movie about students who were killed in a battle during World War II. The song is about the evanescence and strength of love and life, and is Chihiro's first track to be produced by Masayuki Sakamoto. The song was finished in March 2007 and recorded in January 2008, and she considers it a five-minute novel or film.
