Amber Snow // Chihiro Onitsuka

琥珀の雪 Amber Snow // Onitsuka Chihiro
Lyrics & Music: Onitsuka Chihiro

I'll try and convey to you
Just how your childlike
Smile is reflected so well
In the hush of winter

We have quieted our breathing
Beneath this streetlight
If this is a tiny universe here
I am sure it belongs to we two

The spell on this neverending world
Is bound to be broken soon, and so...

Oh, branches of amber
Bind together this frayed warmth of ours
Oh, silver stallion
Gallop along my chilled flesh this eve
Gallop on and on
Why is it I weep at sincerity
When I am the one who says, in jest,
I long to be free?
Snow drifts to pile up deep in the valley
Oh, amber snow

The passing time paints the snow crystals
But even these are overtaken by rapid melting
Let's run away together

The feathers of the low-flying owl
Bear your feelings with a tiny snowy breeze
As you embrace me tightly and do not let go

Oh, star of amber
Encircle this fragile speed of ours
Oh, slumbering fairies
Awake, awake beneath the frost
I'm afraid to stand alone,
So why must you...?
The valley becomes deeply transparent
Oh, trees of amber

When the spring comes,
And it's still a long way off,
This will be but a cold dream of us
Yes, a tender dream of ours, yours and mine

Oh, branches of amber
Bind together this frayed warmth of ours
Oh, silver stallion
Gallop along my chilled flesh this eve
Gallop on and on
Why is it I weep at sincerity
When I am the one who says, in jest,
I long to be free?
Snow drifts to pile up deep in the valley
Oh, amber snow
