[from Anime Lyrics.com]

Aishiteta to nageku niwa
Amarinimo toki wa sugite shimatta
Mada kokoro no hokorobi wo
Iyasenu mama kaze ga fuiteru

Hitotsu no me de asu o mite
Hitotsu no me de kinou mitsumeteru
Kimi no ai no yurikagode
Mo ichido yasurakani nemuretara

Kawaita hitomi de dareka naite kure

*The real folk blues
Honto no kanashimi ga shiritai dake
Doro no kawa ni tsukatta
Jinsei mo waruku wa nai
Ichido kiri de owaru nara

Kibou ni michita zetsuboto
Wanagashikakerareteru kono chansu
Nani ga yoku te warui no ka
Koin no omoi to kuramitaita

Dore dake ikireba iyasareru no darou

The real folk blues
Honto no yorokobi ga shiritai dake
Hikaru mono no subete ga
Ougen to wa kagiranai

In English
[from Anime Lyrics.com]

Too much time has passed by to
Lament that we were deeply in love
The wind still blowing, while my heart
Cannot heal all the tears in it

One side of my eyes see tomorrow,
And the other one see yesterday
I hope I could sleep in the cradle of your love, again

Someone, cry for me with parched eyes.

*The real folk blues
I only want to know what true sadness is
Sitting in muddy water
Isn't such a bad life
It ends after the first time.

Hopeless hope,
And the chance with traps
What is right, or wrong
It's like a both side of a coin

How long I must live till I release?

The real folk blues
I just want to feel a real pleasure
All that glitters is not gold

*repeat
