Abandoned by my parents when I was small
I was raised in an orphanage that could see the ocean
The one who raised me was
An old nun
She was very kind
And was always happily smiling
Although it was a poor life, but
All of us were happy
Eventually she fell to illness
The day she'd be summoned to heaven drew near
At her bedside
We said to her:
You've raised us up until now
We want to repay you for that
Now matter how absurd, it doesn't matter
Isn't there something you wish for?
She sweetly smiled
Like this, she came to respond:
I am always waiting
Waiting for a reply to my letter
I sent it one day when I was young
A letter that I don't know whether it arrived or not
If my wish comes true
If my sins are forgiven
I want a reply to that letter
I will wait for it
She laughs, It's a wish that can't be granted
Please forget it
The letter she sent
Who did she send it to?
We all divide our work up
And searched all over the country
And we found an old painter
Who knew her past
The old man tells the truth
She once killed people
Many people became unhappy
Many people shed tears
The recipient of the letter
Is someone no longer in this world
The reply won't come
Even so she'll wait, won't she?
Even after her body has rotten away
Surely she will wait
Until the reply comes
Finally that time arrived
Her lifetime is drawing to a close
I press inside her hand
One sheet of parchment
That was a fake reply to the letter
That I wrote yesterday
She gave it a glancing look
And finally said "Thank you"
The sorrowful wish fades away
She had that same smile as always
Our realization of her sin was always
After everything ended
