#utabiko

ENGLISH

If I opened today up to the very first page And spotted you there, I’d slip a single fallen leaf between the pages

Feeling the fragrant letters “y-o-u” Flowing in the veins Of the withered leaf

If I spotted you In my vivid field of vision, I’d quietly take my glasses off

Feeling you and I Blend together In the muddy streams of a blurry world

You take the many things I say to you And adorn yourself with them Even in this decaying world we live in Here you are now, still adorning yourself with them

ROMAJI

hirakareta kyou no ichi pe-ji ni anata wo mitsuketara ochiba wo hitotsu hasamimashou

kareta ha no youmyaku ni anata no kaoru moji ga nagarete yuku no wo kanjinagara

senmei na shikai no naka ni anata wo mitsuketara megane wo sotto hazushimashou

nijinda sekai no dakuryuu ni watashi to anata ga mazari-au no wo kanjinagara

ENGLISH

When you have a sad dream Let someone you hold dear comfort you

Let them

Be gentle rain Then melt, and wash away

Sad dreams Will always tell you The things you don’t want to lose

ROMAJI

kanashii yume wo mitara taisetsu na hito ni nagusamete moraou

shitoshito

ame to natta mono-tachi ni sotto tokete nagasou

ENGLISH

In the endless bounds of space I had another dream today In a darkness so black That the stars didn’t even twinkle

Of plains thick with reeds Swaying in the wind Of snow falling on the sand dunes Where the waves hit the shore

The voice of the person who awaits you, Calling out to you, will make it through After thousands of moments have gone by Their devoted love Will someday light up Your lonely darkness

Everything disappears In the quicksand Erasing the signs Of the brilliant light of life

In the endless bounds of space The miracle of being born Is a piece of seafoam On the deep blue ocean

ROMAJI
