桜花ノ理 (Ouka no Kotowari) — Reasoning of Cherry Blossoms (based on Natsuhiko Kyogoku's novel 絡新婦の理 (Jorōgumo no Kotowari))

春つ方天空の彼方に暈けて 垣間見ゆ一片の秘めた意図
明日の見えぬ頽廃の渦中で 洞ろな雲は散り落ちて 深い闇を根差す
桜花の花弁の薄闇にて 逢見ゆ人知れぬ蜘蛛の糸
鹹草のごとく生くる力 憂き世の蜘蛛は地に落ちて やがて巣を廻らす
今 狂い咲きの桜の下では 泡沫の紡糸 夢の淵で佇むあの日の 忘れかけた理
春つ方天空の彼方に暈けて
今 狂い咲きの桜の下では 泡沫の紡糸 夢の淵で佇むあの日を 邂逅すれど独り
されど今 狂い咲きの桜の下では 泡沫の紡糸 夢の淵で佇むあの日の 運命られた理
The spring faded away across the distant sky I catched a glimpse of hidden intentions of (flower) petals
In the midst of vortex of tomorrow's decadence The hollow cloud (of petals) was scattered and fell down into deep darkness
In the darkness, cherry petals Found each other at the spider's threads
With lifeforce like that of angelica herb The spider of transient world went around the web before it fell to ground
And now, under this unseasonably flowering cherry tree, an ephemeral thread*** was spinning At that day, I stood still in the depths of dream, and started to forget about reasons of logic
The spring faded away across the distant sky
And now, under this unseasonably flowering cherry tree, an ephemeral thread was spinning At that day, I stood still in the depths of dream, and encountered another unmarried person
Even though now, under the unseasonably flowering cherry tree, an ephemeral thread was spinning At that day, I stood still in the depths of dream, and witnessed the reasoning of fate
