自由 [Jiyuu] [English translation]

What can you see from your place

The west wind is wide open to the world

Can you see what's going on far beyond the roofs

You see sparrows and crows in the sky above

You hear children playing on the way home from school

nothing unusual, nothing unusual...

A gust of wind could blow them away,

out of memory, out of sight

Where does it come from? Where do they lead?

The next moment I lose track of them

and give still birth to my embryonic thought

How sad is this evening view

You see sparrows and crows in the sky above

You hear children playing on the way home from school

nothing unusual, nothing unusual...

A ray of the sun could flash them away,

out of sight, out of memory

Am I free in this lightened place?

What can I do in this lightened place?

I am free, I am free, I am free. But am I?

What can I do, what can I do, what can I do at all?
