I had thought this was an arrangement of Kaguya’s theme at first, I don’t know how I mixed them up. This song looks like it’s talking about Mokou’s regrets of becoming immortal, how she’d like to change. Things that she’s lost that are precious memories? The people she’s outlived. Things she has gained that are lonely memories? Her immortality of course. Her permanent sin? Deciding to take the immortality elixir.

“ありがとう さようなら”
何度も 繰り返してきて
失った物もある
でも大事な想い出
“arigatou sayounara”
nando mo kurikaeshite kite
ushinatta mono mo aru
demo daiji na omoide
“Thank you, goodbye”
coming to repeat this over and over
There are also things that I have lost
but those memories are precious
望めば 手が届くだろう
心に 手が届くだろう
永遠の先の孤独を 知るまでは
nozomeba te ga todoku darou
kokoro ni te ga todoku darou
eien no saki no kodoku o shiru made wa
If I desire it, I should be able to reach it
I’ll be able to reach my heart
until I know loneliness beyond eternity
だから lie lie life こんな夜は
願う change my life どうか このままで
take me back 君の声で
あの日へと 続いてる ”さようなら”
dakara lie lie life konna yoru wa
negau change my life douka kono mama de
take me back kimi no koe de
ano hi e to tsudzuiteru “sayounara”
And so this kind of night is lie lie life
I wish to change my life as it is, somehow please
Take me back with your voice
“Goodbye” continues all the way towards that day
でもね lie lie life こんな夜に
光る shooting star 胸に 月 刺さる
day by day 壊れていく
なのに どうして こんなに 嬉しいの？
demo ne lie lie life konna yoru ni
hikaru shooting star mune ni tsuki sasaru
day by day kowarete yuku
nanoni doushite konna ni ureshii no?
But you know lie lie life, during this kind of night
the stars glitter above, the moon sticks into my chest
Day by day I’m falling apart
despite all this why am I so happy?
“ありがとう さようなら”
あまりにも 哀しい言葉
手に入れた 物もある
でも寂しい 想い出
“arigatou sayounara”
amari ni mo kanashii kotoba
te ni ireta mono mo aru
demo sabishii omoide
“Thank you, good bye”
Those words are way too sad
There are also things that I have obtained
but those memories are lonely
願えば きっと叶うだろう
大丈夫 きっと叶うだろう
永遠の先の 孤独を 知るまでは
negaeba kitto kanau darou
daijoubu kitto kanau darou
eien no saki no kodoku o shiru made wa
If I make a wish, surely it will come true
It’s alright, surely it will come true
until I know loneliness beyond eternity
それは lie lie life こんな夜は
願う break my mind どうか 粉々に
make my day 君の声が
繰り返し 響いてる ”さようなら”
sore wa lie lie life konna yoru wa
negau break my mind douka konagona ni
make my day kimi no koe ga
kurikaeshi hibiiteru “sayounara”
That’s lie lie life, this kind of night
I want you to break my mind, into little pieces please
Your voice makes my day
It keeps ringing, the repeating of “goodbye”
でもね lie lie life こんな夜に
光る shooting star きらり 月のように
day by day 色づいてく
なのに どうして こんなに 哀しいの？
demo ne lie lie life konna yoru ni
hikaru shooting star kirari tsuki no you ni
day by day iro dzuite ku
nanoni doushite konna ni kanashii no?
But you know lie lie life, during this kind of night
The shining shooting stars flash bright, just like the moon
Day by day changing colours
despite all this why is it so sad?
淡い光に 融けていくように
ゆらめいたまま 空へ あの色を重ねても
いつか誰にも 忘れられたまま
生きていくのが 変わらぬ罪と知っていても
awai hikari ni tokete yuku you ni
yurameita mama sora e ano iro o kasanetemo
itsu ka dare ni mo wasurerareta mama
ikite yuku no ga kawaranu tsumi to shitteitemo
Just like fading into a faint light
even if those colours are added to the flickering sky
someday they’ll all be forgotten by everyone
Even though I’m aware that what will live on is my permanent sin
だから lie lie life こんな夜は
願う change my life どうか このままで
take me back 君の声で
あの日へと 続いてる ”さようなら”
dakara lie lie life konna yoru wa
negau change my life douka kono mama de
take me back kimi no koe de
ano hi e to tsudzuiteru “sayounara”
and so this kind of night is lie lie life
I wish to change my life as it is, somehow please
take me back with your voice
The “goodbye” continues all the way towards that day
でもね lie lie life こんな夜に
光る shooting star 胸に 月 刺さる
day by day 壊れていく
なのに どうして こんなに 嬉しいの？
demo ne lie lie life konna yoru ni
hikaru shooting star mune ni tsuki sasaru
day by day kowarete yuku
nanoni doushite konna ni ureshii no?
But you know lie lie life, during this kind of night
the stars glitter above, the moon sticks into my chest
Day by day I’m falling apart
despite all this why am I so happy?
Amen
