The fleeting words
"I will come back for you, wait for me"
Although the season has elapsed and cycled, we have become adults,
I am still believing, and waiting―
—Author's comments

"Ama Yume Rou" is a song about two courtesans, a girl that lived as an orphan, Rin, and the daughter of a former samurai, Miku, in pre-modern Japan. As children, they promised to be together forever, however they are now working in brothels and eventually become rivals. A wealthy man named Len comes to the brothels and enters relationships with various courtesans. Rin notices the man visiting the brothels frequently and falls in love with him but is heartbroken when she discovers her friend, Miku, in his arms one day.

In her heartbreak, Rin realizes that she and Miku have truly become rivals in love and that their dream to walk on together someday may just be a fantasy. Len leaves for another country and promises to Miku as well as others, that he will return. However, Miku dies from an illness that has frequently plagued her. As Miku dies, she asks for Rin to convey her feelings to Len as she believed his promise to return. Rin waits for the man to return but understands that she is ultimately waiting for no one and wishes everything had been a dream.

While some parts of the song lyrics alone can be vague, the official book by Team OS, Music Reference Volume 1(ひとしずく×やま△楽曲設定資料集vol.1), goes into further details about the relationships between Rin, Miku, and Len. It also further explains details such that Miku had been ill for the majority of her time in the brothel, the reason why Len ultimately leaves is for work in another country for his family's business, and that Len had made this promise to various other courtesans.

It has a sequel song telling the events from the Len's point of view called Koi Yami Rou.

RinLen
Miku
Japanese (日本語歌詞) Romaji (ローマ字)
儚い言葉ね hakanai kotoba ne
「迎えに行くよ・・・待っていて」 "mukae ni iku yo... matte ite"
時を重ね 季節が巡っても、まだ toki wo kasane kisetsu ga megutte mo, mada
信じて 待ってる shinjite matteru...

はらり 雪が舞う夜空 綻びた着物を着て harari yuki ga mau yozora hokorobita kimono o kite
震える肩を寄せ合う 貧しい孤独な幼子 furueru kata o yoseau mazushii kodokuna osanago

明るく笑う瞳は 俯き憂う瞳は akaruku warau hitomi wa utsumuki ureu hitomi wa
互いの傷を映して 生きることを誓った tagai no kizu o utsushite ikiru koto o chikatta

宵闇に誘うは 花魁草(おいらんぞう) yoiyami ni sasou wa oiranzou
甘い蜜に舞う 夜の蝶 amai mitsu ni mau yoru no chou
綺麗な着物 なびかせて kirei na kimono nabikasete
乱れて (咲かせて) midarete (sakasete)
誰より輝く華になって 魅せる dare yori kagayaku hana ni natte miseru

ねえ、儚い言葉ね nee, hakanai kotoba ne
「ずっと、一緒にいようね」 "zutto, issho ni iyou ne"
季節が巡って、大人になっても まだ kisetsu ga megutte, otonani natte mo mada
信じていいの? shinjite ii no?

あの日から全て、始まった ano hi kara subete, hajimatta
夕暮れに染まる 約束 yuugure ni somaru yakusoku
寂しい心、気付かれぬように sabishii kokoro, kizukarenu you ni
醒めない夢に 溺れてる samenai yume ni oboreteru

黄昏に染まる街で 人知れずに恋をした tasogare ni somaru machi de hitoshirezu ni koi wo shita
想いを告げることさえ 叶わずに ただ見つめる omoi wo tsugeru koto sae kanawazu ni tada mitsumeru

優しく笑う瞳の先に 微笑むその華 yasashiku warau hitomi no saki ni hohoemu sono hana
密やかな恋心は 音をたてて 崩れた hisoyakana koigokoro wa oto wo tatete kuzureta

想い 想われが 常夜の調べ omoi omoware ga tokoyo yoru no shirabe
色なき闇の幻想よ iro naki yami no gensou yo
“愛サレル” のが “シアワセ” ならば "aisareru" no ga "shiawase" nara ba
ワタシは・・・ (アナタは・・・) watashi wa... (anata wa...)
誰よりずっと 幸せなはずなのに dare yori zutto shiawase na hazu nano ni

ああ 儚い言葉ね aa hakanai kotoba ne
「迎えに行くよ・・・待っていて」 "mukae ni ikuyo... matte ite"
「アイシテイル」と 言われる度に "aishiteiru" to iwareru tabi ni
生きる価値、確かめて ikiru kachi, tashikamete

「でも、それなら何故 今すぐに "demo, sorenara naze imasugu ni
攫っていってくれないの・・・?」 saratte itte kurenai no..."
込み上げてきた 虚しい叫びは komiagete kita munashii sakebi wa
言葉にできず 消えていった kotoba ni dekizu kieteitta

夜明けとともに消えてく (偽物の愛の骸) yoake totomoni kie te ku (nisemono no ai no mukuro)
全てが夢だったなら (泣かないでいられたのに) subete ga yume datta nara (naka nai de irare ta noni)
「いつまでも待ってるから」 (宵闇に誓った約束は) "itsu made mo matteru kara" (yoiyami ni chikatta yakusoku wa)
儚い華とともに 消えた hakanai hana to tomoni kie ta

遠い日の夕暮れ 約束 覚えてる? tooi hi no yuugure yakusoku oboeteru?
「二人で並んで歩こうね」 "futari de naran de arukou ne"
きっと、いつか kitto, itsuka

ああ 儚く消えてった aa hakanaku kietetta
可憐な華と 初恋よ karen na hana to hatsukoi yo
季節が巡って 大人になっても kisetsu ga megutte otona ni natte mo
治らない傷跡 残して naoranai kizuato nokoshite

夕暮れの夏の日 叶わない約束を今 yuugure no natsu no hi kanawanai yakusoku wo ima
私は独り たった独りで watashi wa hitori tatta hitori de
宛てもなく 待ち続ける atemo naku machi tsuzukeru

夕暮れに誓ったまま yuugure ni chikatta mama
全てが夢だったなら・・・ subete ga yume datta nara...
