Lyrics

Kanji	Romaji	Translation
明けない夜数えながら過ぎ去った日想い続けためぐる夢の中消えてゆく影法師	Akenai yoru Kazoe nagara Sugisatta hi Omoi tsudzuketa Meguru yume no naka Kiete yuku kageboushi	As I counted The unending nights I kept recalling the days That had passed me by Silhouettes continue to vanish Into the pirouetting dream
溢れる終の願い尽きることない後悔の果て彼の岸渡れぬまま愚かな花と散る	Afureru tsui no negai Tsukiru koto nai Koukai no hate Ka no kishi Watarenu mama Orokana hana to chiru	Oveflowing dying wishes At the bounds Of inexhaustible regrets Unable to cross over to The shore of the afterlife I'm strewn along with the foolish blooms
包まれ息吹く永遠闇冷たすぎてもがくだけの巡り夜「枯れないで私たちは美しい儘･･･」	Tsutsumare Ibuku towa no yami Tsumeta sugite Mogaku dake no Meguri yoru "Karenaide Watashi tachi wa Utsukushii mama..."	Engulfed, I breathe the eternal darkness Too cold to bear, I thrash around In the looping nights "Don't wither, We are beautiful As we are..."
踊ろうよ幾千の月閉ざされた目を抉るようにほのかに揺れ貴方誘う「堕チテ嗤ウハ誰･･･？」	Let us dance For thousands of moons Like prying open Closed eyes Faintly it sways, Inviting you "Ochite warau no wa, dare...?"	Let us dance For thousands of moons Like prying open Closed eyes Faintly it sways, Inviting you "wHO iS iT tHAT sNEERS aT uS fROM tHE dEPTHS...?"^[1]

Let us ferry across The stars of the dusk Like disentangling Sullied threads Even if if I were to chew it all to bits, My thirst cannot be quelled I linger await Within the scattered bones...

'There are no flowers that won't wither', Laughs reality Let it overcome this world And finally reach you. The equinox flower That bloomed for me Your blood Shall remain Virtuous...
「堕チテ嗤ウハ誰･･･？」	"Ochite warau no wa, Dare...?"	"wHO iS iT tHAT sNEERS aT uS fROM tHE dEPTHS...?"^[1]

Notes

↑ ^1.0 ^1.1 Stylization: This line has been written using Kanji and Katakana in the place of classic Hiragana. Often, such quirky stylization is used to evoke a certain feeling in the reader, with reference to context. In this line, it may be a sense of foreboding or horror.
↑ Tasogare (たそがれ・Twilight) is traditionally written as (黄昏), as seen in the song title. But here it has been written as (誰そ彼). The latter kanji combination can also mean "Who is there". This worldplay is previously seen in another song from the Higurashi no Naku Koro ni fandom, Tasokare.
↑ Tooryanse (通りゃんせ・You may pass) is a Japanese warabe uta. It is also commonly played at traffic signals. Songs from the Higurashi no Naku Koro ni fandom, namely Unmei no Wa and Nageki no Mori also reference this nursery tune.
