Ugly Crawler
Lyrics: Temari
Composition: kaname
Swarming to a bunch of sour fruit
ugly, ugly, unsightly bugs.
Cramming anguish and grief into my own pockets
I lifted my head to a still unseen tomorrow.
With envious eyes gazing at the figures fluttering
from flower to flower, you ask:
"Would those wings give freedom to this body of mine?"
"Couldn't you release these fetters called depression?"
When the rain is over before long,
my back receiving the blessings of trees in the rising wind,
who laughs at me as I change shape
and even at dreaming?
Reclining on the tips of twigs, eating greens.
Ugly, ugly, pitiful bugs.
Draping their bodies with sorrow, with pessimism
and covering up with a cocoon of innocence before dawn.
Skin peeled off, face distorted in unbearable agony
"Ah, I hate them. I'd rather you
tear up and cast away those eyes."
Lightly, lightly, gently
One and again another without making a sound of flapping.
Paying no attention to this squatting body
my richly-colored brethren shine through in the sun.
The trickling nectar cannot satisfy the loneliness
the pain of my heartbeat, the hunger, the thirst in the least
Though I weep, though I ache
with this, that sky is much too far.
The glow makes me feel at ease, and the heat haze flickers.
In the blink of an eye, that body burned.

Sakushi: Temari
Sakkyoku: kaname
Hitofusa, tadareta kajitsu ni muragaru
Minikui, minikui, buzama na mushitachi.
Urei wo, nageki wo, shifuku ni tsumekomi
Mada minu, asu e to motageta koube.
Hana kara hana e to tobikau sugata ni
Senbou no manazashi de sore wo tou no.
"Sono hane wa kono mi ni jiyuu wo ataeru darou ka?"
"Kono yuuutsu to iu bakusa wo tokihanatte wa kuremai ka?"
Ame ga yagate sugiru koro,
Kazedatsu kigi no shukufuku wo se ni uke
Katachi wo nashiteku wagami wo
Yumemiru koto sae, taga warau?
Eda saki ni motarete, hana wo kurau.
Minikui, minikui, aware na mushitachi.
Hitan de, hikan de, sono mi wo ootte
Keppaku no mayu de, tsukurou yoake mae.
Hagareta hifu, taegatai kutsuu ni kao wo yugamase
"Aa, iya da, sono me wa
Isso, chigiri sutete okure to negau wa."
Hirari, hirari yurayaka ni
Hitotsu, mata hitotsu haoto mo tatezu ni.
Chi ni fusu kono mi ni me mo kurezu
Hi ni sukeru gokusaishiki no harakara.
Shitataru mitsu wa kodoku mo kodouku mo
Ue mo kawaki hitotsu mo mitasezu
Nakedomo yamedomo
Kore dewa kano sora wa amari nimo toosugiru.
Akari wa yasuragi, yurameku kagerou.
Matataku setsuna ni, sono mi wo yaita.

thank you for this translation, temari's lyrics are quite complicated but you do a great job of translating them with poetic intent and not just a dry translation.
