Princess Tutu
プリンセスチュチュ

-Ahiru-

Thoughts of a duck-

I saw you from afar – your smile, lost.
Longing to help, my prayers are answered and
granted a power – that I reprimand,
I unearth the pieces of your heart. Frost

covers the land, the sun melts it away.
I continue searching - love is the best
hope. And when I return the pieces, lest
it be my fancy-filled thoughts that betray

my gaze, I see you happy and thankful,
for Princess Tutu's kindness. But not mine.
Eager was I once, to have you by my
side. But now, you are complete and grateful,
your princess chosen – my heart cannot shine.
A pain beyond words stings my soul. I cry.
