Green Garden

日本語

緑の箱庭は静かに
私を待っていてくれるの

世界のスキマからいつでも
手招きしてくれる気がする

其処は沢山の花々が水を受けて
風は暖かく　景色は美しく

誰もが優しく私を傷つけず
温かな愛の揺り籠のような夢みたいで

痛みを乗り越えたら空も飛べると
羽根を広げた蝶が　私を呼んでいるよ

色とりどりの粒を　そっと集めて
数えながら　今夜も深い眠りに落ちて微睡む

白亜の回廊は静かで
足音ひとつさえ吸い込む

机もカーテンも私も
全てが純白に包まれ

リノリウム　落ちる　仄かに灯る緑と
誰もいない陰　静寂のざわめき

長い階段を　裸足で昇ってゆく
楽園に続くその道の果てを目指してゆく

冷たい柵を越えて空も飛べると
信じて飛び立ちたい　私を待っているよ

このまま何処へだって羽根を広げて
信じて踏み出したら
見たことのない空があるから

Translation

This miniature green garden is silently
waiting there for me.

I can feel it beckoning to me, always,
from the boundaries between worlds.

Countless, countless flowers grow and are watered there.
The wind is so warm, and the scenery is beautiful.

Everybody is kind, and I am without injuries.
It resembles a dream that is like a cradle of warm love.

If I surpass my pain, and can take to the skies,
butterflies, flying with their wings outstretched, will call to me.

I gently gather together tiny, multicoloured beads.
Tonight, as well, I doze off and fall into a deep slumber whilst counting them.

This white-washed corridor is so quiet, and
every single footstep is soaked up inside.

The desk, the curtains, and me as well:
everything is covered in pure whiteness.

The faint glow of the greenery falls on the linoleum, and
the silence murmurs in the shadows absent of people.

I walk barefoot up this long staircase.
I aim for the end of this path, which leads to paradise.

When I overcome the cold railing and take to the skies,
I want to take off confidently. Someone’s waiting for me out there!

Like this, I’ll spread my wings – they’ll carry me anywhere!
Because if I believe and set forth,
there’s a sky I’ve never seen waiting for me.
