Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Opening Theme – Higurashi no Naku Koro ni

When Cicadas Cry
Vocals: Shimamiya Eiko

Behind where I looked back; (Who’s in the front?)
In the dark, I sank in my nails (and tore apart the night)

The raindrops turn into droplets of blood and travel down my cheeks
If there’s no place for me to return to anywhere anymore

Take these fingers, my fingers
I’ll take you away with all of your fingers
To the unopened forest where cicadas cry
I can’t turn back anymore

Being extinguished one by one; (the blue flames)
Beyond the darkness, (the morning won’t come anymore)

Inside the mirror, with countless wriggling hands reaching out
Come on, lure someone here

Oni-san, come here, to where my hands clap
No matter how you flee, I’ll capture you
From the animal trail where cicadas cry
The voice that I heard is no more

Take these fingers, my fingers
I’ll take you away with all of your fingers
To the unopened forest where cicadas cry
I can’t turn back anymore

Oni-san, come here, to where my hands clap
No matter how you flee, I’ll capture you
From the animal trail where cicadas cry
The voice that I heard is no more

Furimuita   sono ushiro no   (Shoumen daare?)
Kurayami ni   tsume o tatete   (yoru o hikisaita)

Amadare wa chi no shizuku to natte hoho o tsutai ochiru
Mou doko ni mo kaeru basho ga nai nara

Kono yubi tomare   watashi no yubi ni
Sono yubi goto   tsurete tte ageru
Higurashi ga naku   akazu no mori e
Atomodori wa   mou dekinai

Hitori-zutsu   kesarete yuku   (Aoi honoo)
Kurayami no   sono mukou ni   (asa wa mou konai)

Kagami no naka de   ugomeki nobashite kuru musuu no te de
Saa   dareka o koko e izanai nasai

Oni-san kochira   te no naru hou e
Donna ni nigete mo   tsukamaete ageru
Higurashi ga naku   kemonomichi kara
Kikoete ita koe wa mou nai

Kono yubi tomare   watashi no yubi ni
Sono yubi goto   tsurete tte ageru
Higurashi ga naku   akazu no mori e
Atomodori wa   mou dekinai

Oni-san kochira   te no naru hou e
Donna ni nigete mo   tsukamaete ageru
Higurashi ga naku   kemonomichi kara
Kikoete ita koe wa mou nai
