Dress

歌詞

白いドレスひらり　うさぎ逃げてく花園
追いかけるあの子は　ここまで戻れるかしら
黒い靴鳴らして　歩いてたあの頃には
もう二度と帰れないから

歪んだ道の奥　歩き疲れた少女は
迷い込んだ先に　何を見つけたのかしら
饒舌な猫さえ　隠れてしまうこの桃源郷
逃げ出したいのなら　おいで

逆さま落ちる世界にふたり　白黒逆転うさぎが嗤う
沈んで　沈んで　沈んだ　この場所でかごめかごめを
飛べずに彷徨う白いその腕　千切れたあの子はもう逃げられない
さよなら　さよなら　さよなら　ここでお別れおやすみよ

ひらりひら舞い上がって　私の羽　紅い蝶々
ひらりひらひるがえして　見せつけるの紅いこのドレス
ひらりひら染まってゆく　あの子もまた紅へと
眠りゆく紅い少女　もう癒えない　黒に変わる

私のお気に入り　紅いドレスと人形
またひとり迷った　この子は戻れるかしら
鏡に尋ねても　紡ぐ言葉は同じね
「もう二度と帰れないから」

「どうして？どうして？」囁く声　目を閉じ嘆いた少女へうたう
おいでよ　おいでよ　おいでよ　怖がらず手の鳴る方へ
惑わすこの道奈落の底に　鬼さんこちらと囃して笑うの
誘え　誘え　手招き　蓮の花開く頃には

逆さま落ちる世界にふたり　白黒逆転うさぎが嗤う
沈んで　沈んで　沈んだ　この場所でかごめかごめを
飛べずに彷徨う白いその腕　千切れたこの子はもう逃がさないわ
さよなら　さよなら　さよなら　これでお別れおやすみね

ひらりひら舞い上がって　私の羽　紅い蝶々
ひらりひらひるがえして　見せつけるの紅いこのドレス
ひらりひら染まってゆく　この子もまた紅へと
眠りゆく紅い少女　もう消えない　黒に変わる

Translation

The child’s white dress flutters as she chases a rabbit
Who runs away to the flower garden. I wonder if she will be able to return…
I guess, after all, she can no longer return to that time
When she walked along, her black shoes clapping.

The girl had tired from walking, deep down that crooked lane.
I wonder what she found whilst she was lost…
Even the talkative cat is hidden away in this forest – this paradise.
If you want to escape, come…

Falling upside-down in this world, they are together. The inverted monochrome rabbit laughs.
Sinking, sinking, sunken… in this place, they play kagome kagome.
The girl wanders around, unable to fly. With her white arms torn, that child can no longer escape.
So long, farewell, goodbye… This is where we part – good night.

Lightly, lightly, my wings, red butterflies, soar high.
Lightly, lightly, the red dress I show off flutters to and fro.
Lightly, lightly, that child is once more dyed red.
The red girl, who falls asleep, cannot be healed anymore. She turns black.

Red dresses and dolls – they are my favourite things.
But another doll has gotten lost. I wonder if this one will return…
Though I ask the mirror, its reply is the same:
“She will never return.”

“Why? Why?” She whispers. I sing to the girl, who grieves with her eyes shut.
Come! This way! Come! Come, without fear, to the sound of my clapping…
This tempting path leads to an abyss, and at the bottom, a demon accompanies me and laughs.
Inviting, luring, beckoning… and when the lotus flower opens –

Falling upside-down in this world, they are together. The inverted monochrome rabbit laughs.
Sinking, sinking, sunken… in this place, they play kagome kagome.
She wanders around, unable to fly. With her white arms torn, that child can no longer escape.
So long, farewell, goodbye… This is where we part – good night.

Lightly, lightly, my wings, red butterflies, soar high.
Lightly, lightly, the red dress I show off flutters to and fro.
Lightly, lightly, that child is once more dyed red.
The red girl, who falls asleep, vanishes no longer. She turns black.
