Lyrics & translation
Verse 1
My map dissolved in rain below the ridge.
尾根の下で地図が雨に溶けた。
The path became a crack against the sky.
道は空に接する裂け目になった。
A mountain goat looked back above my shoulder.
山羊が肩の上から振り返った。
Her little hoof found room I couldn't see.
小さなひづめが僕には見えない場所を見つけた。
Chorus
A hoof can read the crack that stops my breath.
ひづめは僕の息を止める裂け目を読める。
The little bell rings past the edge of fear.
小さな鈴が恐れの端の向こうで鳴る。
I borrow balance from a creature without a map.
地図を持たない生き物から均衡を借りる。
The ridge is wider when her steps are near.
彼女の足取りが近いと尾根は広くなる。
Verse 2
She waited where the stone had lost its corner.
角を失った岩のところで彼女は待った。
I watched the bell instead of all the empty air.
空いた空間全体ではなく鈴を見つめた。
The cloud broke open over softer ground.
柔らかい地面の上で雲が割れた。
Her hooves turned toward the grass beyond the ledge.
ひづめは岩棚の向こうの草へ向かった。
Chorus
A hoof can read the crack that stops my breath.
ひづめは僕の息を止める裂け目を読める。
The little bell rings past the edge of fear.
小さな鈴が恐れの端の向こうで鳴る。
I borrow balance from a creature without a map.
地図を持たない生き物から均衡を借りる。
The ridge is wider when her steps are near.
彼女の足取りが近いと尾根は広くなる。
Outro
I left the ruined map beneath a flat stone.
平らな石の下に傷んだ地図を置いた。
I found the village by its evening smoke.
夕方の煙を頼りに村を見つけた。
