Paroles de Hijikata Tatsumi

He danced on his deathbed And so performed his final dance For friends, family and lovers And all those who'd had the chance To know him, to love him To know him, to love him My domesticated body And my mind by moderation tamed Seethe within my xeroxcopied skin And I ask him "Is all freedom dark ?" He danced on his deathbed And so performed his final dance For friends, family and lovers And all those who'd had the chance To know him, to love him To know him, to love him One thousand and one birds Take off in an instant Flying feeling-filling through the air And I ask them "Is all freedom light ?" He danced on his deathbed And so performed his final dance For friends, family and lovers And all those who'd had the chance To know him, to love him To know him, to love him
