ENGLISH
Persimmon
In a corner of the garden
Is my persimmon tree
I raised it from a seed
My persimmon tree
Will it bear persimmon fruit?
Will it have a lot?
Sweet and delicious
My persimmon tree
If it grows a lot of fruit
It it grows big
Only I will taste it
I kept on guarding
My persimmon tree
And gradually it ripened
My persimmon tree
It bore persimmon fruit
A lot of them
Soon I'll be able to eat them
My persimmons
Birds flew in
Lots of them
They came to give me
Their blessing
All the fruits were eaten
And not a single one was left behind
But not by me
By the birds
A year passed
My persimmon tree swayed in the wind
This year
My blood is really boiling
But then a late season typhoon
Landed in Japan
The persimmons fell
Every single one fell
My tears fell too
I'm having deja vu
Bugs swarmed
Insistenly
I'm having deja vu
Because only I was supposed to taste them
I'm having deja vu
Because only I was supposed to taste them
This year too, somebody else enjoyed them
The next morning
It became clear and sunny
And a single fruit was left
That stood up to the storm
In a corner of the garden
Is my persimmon tree
And a single fruit
That was raised by my heart

JAPANESE
柿
庭のすみに
僕の柿の木
種から育てた
僕の柿の木
柿の実なるかな
たくさんなるかな
甘くておいしい
僕の柿
いっぱいなったら
大きくなったら
僕だけ味わう予定だよ
守り続けた
僕の柿の木
ちょっとずつ熟した
僕の柿の木
柿の実なったよ
たくさんなったよ
もうすぐ食べれる
僕の柿
鳥たち飛んだよ
いっぱい飛んだよ
祝福してるよ
僕のこと
残さずに
食べちゃった
僕じゃなく
鳥たちが
一年たって
揺れる柿の木
今年こそはと
たぎる僕の血
遅い台風
日本上陸
柿の実落ちたよ
残らず落ちたよ
涙も落ちたよ
デジャヴだよ
虫たちたかるよ
命を謳うよ
僕だけ味わう
デジャヴだよ
僕だけ味わう
デジャヴだよ
今年もごちそうさまでした
すっかり晴れた
次の日の朝
嵐に耐えた
柿のみ一つ
庭のすみに
柿の実一つ
心が育てた
僕の実一つ

OPINION
This is a great hidden track, it's like a folk tale and very lyrical. It's from their single ”花の名” (The Flower's Name.) You can hear it and watch a very cute fanmade animation at the link below. :)
