Going along the animal trail, oh lions, oh tigers, roar
A splendid place at the far side of the glowing sky
For the youth that wanders in the loneliness of imprisonment
Are weakness and anger its formless enemies?
Oh father, I still
Hardly know myself
If I chase the invisible backs
Of my elder brothers who go before me
On the one night when IÂ’m lost, the morning star lures me
Even as I yearn for a dream
That doesnÂ’t end after I die
The definite you are indeed my life
In the wilderness of gales, oh butterflies, oh flowers, live
An illusion that blooms along with the eternal spring
Even if my body is stained by the turbid purity
Please believe in my heartÂ’s brocade
Oh mother, I shall never
Show my tears
The dew on the grass at my feet wonÂ’t disappear
When it comes to the significance of my having been born
The time when IÂ’ll know it will come before long
Currently, the flag of righteousness that I have at least
Is drenched in blood
I merely love you
And engraved it in my chest
Embracing a tattoo-like wound
Going along the animal trail, oh lions, oh tigers, roar
A splendid place at the far side of the glowing sky
Is the youth that becomes a heroic warrior and battles
Something so stupid that it is almost palely blue?
Oh father, IÂ’m still
Unable to protect the one thing that I love
Where is the truth of this world of transience?
In the wilderness of gales, oh butterflies, oh flowers, live
An illusion that scatters in the eternal spring
Even if my body is stained by the turbid purity
Please believe in my heartÂ’s brocade
Oh mother, someday I shall
Be awarded with honor
Going along the animal trail, oh lions, oh tigers, roar
The far side of the glowing sky is a splendid place
The youth that battles based on noble intentions
Becomes a beautiful thing due to the fleeting era
Oh father, someday I would
Overcome myself
The sincerity of this world of values is over there
