Apparently the lyrics to this song weren’t included in the album’s original release, so this translation is brought to you by a transcription put together in 2015. Many thanks to the Japanese NicoNico community, Nii Chii, Eiki, and Halja, who all contributed to the final product!
I suppose you could say this about a lot of Shibayan’s arrangements, but this one is really quirky. I tried to convey the fragmented nature of the lyrics and the song’s quirkiness as a whole in my translation [I also chose to set pretty much the whole thing in the present tense for the same reason]. Of course, I need to stress that this is based on a transcription – please let me know if you have any corrections or suggestions 🙂 It would be cool if the translation was also a community effort, like the transcription.
歌詞
語り繋ぐ 二つの影
忘れて開く 黒毛の人
砂粒の雨 舞い散る夢
黒髪の蜜 滴り
花と踊る 浮かび続く
九つの空 夕闇の雨
拙い指と 白いうなじ
まだ続く夢 繋いだ
夜道踊る （ミョン）
五つの影 （ミョン）
泡沫の夢 （ミョン）
空を流しめて
冷たい雨 （ミョン）
アジサイの前 （ミョン）
夢で見た あの子とすれ違う
語り繋ぐ 二つのペン
忘れて開く 夢の帳
盃伝い 落ちる滴
ひと夏のように ふ夏の
夢見踊る 絡みつく時
白髪落ちる 水の心地
拙い指は 道をなぞり
まだ続く夢 しるした
花と踊る 浮かび続く
五つの夜明け 白く濁る
拙い指で 円を描く
夢だ また夢 繋いで
語り繋ぐ 二つの影
忘れて開く 黒毛の人
砂粒の雨 舞い散る夢
降り踊るまで 繋いだ
夜道踊る （ミョン）
五つの影 （ミョン）
泡沫の夢 （ミョン）
どこか消えていく
冷たい雨 （ミョン）
アジサイの前 （ミョン）
夢で見た あの子はもういない

Translation
The two shadows spin their tale.
Forgetting, I uncover the black-haired one.
The grains of sand rain down in this dream
And the black-haired one’s nectar… drips down.
I dance with the flowers, and continue to float.
Evening rain falls from the September sky.
My clumsy fingers, and the white nape of your neck…
The dream continues. We’re fastened together.
The five shadows (Myon!)
Dance in the street at night (Myon!)
During this transient dream. (Myon!)
Flowing through the sky…
Cold rain falls (Myon!)
Before the hydrangeas. (Myon!)
I pass by the girl I saw in my dream.
The two pens spin their tale.
Forgetting, I open the dream’s curtains.
The drops trace down the saké cup.
My second summer’s love is like the first. (1)
I dance in a dream, with time twined ‘round me.
My white hair falls, and I feel the water.
My clumsy fingers trace along the path.
The dream continues. They left their mark.
I dance with the flowers, and continue to float.
The fifth daybreak is clouded white.
With my clumsy fingers, I trace a circle.
It’s a dream. I’m linked once more to a dream.
The two shadows spin their tale.
Forgetting, I uncover the black-haired one.
The grains of sand rain down in this dream.
Until we dance down, we’re tied together…
The five shadows (Myon!)
Dance in the street at night (Myon!)
During this transient dream. (Myon!)
They disappeared somewhere…
Cold rain falls (Myon!)
Before the hydrangeas. (Myon!)
The girl I saw in my dream isn’t here anymore.
Translator’s note
(1) It’s likely that ひと夏 (hitonatsu, One summer) is a shortened form of ひと夏の恋 (hitonatsu no koi, One summer’s love).
