Suna no Shiro -The Castle of Sand-

Eiko Shimamiya

Compositor: Kazuya Takase

From burning sky, There is white and burning sun. The
horizon reflects, waveringly in my eyes

The blowing sand, is filling up the sky and
a ripple spreads, far away just like the sea. Umm...

You make me come to the leeward with no words
Your shadow covers me from white sun and burned sands.

I wanna say word 'caz I want to tell you
But the sound of sands, (are) drowning out the all my voice away.

The Castle of sand, a hand that reaches out to get
but I can't. (I) don't even know what I want.

The Castle of sand, so fragile, disappears
right after (I) built.

It's just a glare, the light spreads out through my fingers.
Vaguely I heard the wind Singing...
Built and disappears.


When the wind stops, from the hot and burning sky. And
your hemp robe shines, in the contrast with the sky.

The setting sun, colors everything into orange.
The silence comes, as if it's the sea in midnight.

In the cold night sky, we're waiting the sunrise,
Hands on the ground and build sand castle with fingers.

Even it's so fragile, uncertain, and it blows in the wind,
Now it is surely here, my proof.

The Castle of sand, a hand that reaches out to get
but I can't. (I) don't even know what I want.

The Castle of sand, so fragile, disappears
right after (I) built.

It's just a glare, the light spreads out through my fingers.
Vaguely I heard the wind Singing...
Built and disappears.


(The Castle of sand)
(The Castle of sand)
(but it's surely hear I see)

The Castle of sand, a hand that reaches out to get
but I can't. (I) don't even know what I want.

The Castle of sand, so fragile, disappears
right after (I) built.

It's just a glare,
the light spreads out through my fingers.
Vaguely I heard the wind Singing...
Built and disappears.
