眠らない夜に見る夢 || The Dream I Had During a Sleepless Night

歌詞

うつろな目の猫　迷いながら路地裏へ
図書館の庭では　異世界への扉が開く

手にした幸せは
空中ブランコの上で
掴み取れないもの
思い描いていた理想の日々

積み重ねた歴史の分だけ描く
通り過ぎてゆく時間の中だけ走る

うつろな目の猫　駆け抜けてゆく夜の街
映画館の裏では　ファンタジックな空想が回転する

手にした幸せは
空中ブランコの上で
伝えきれないもの
思い描いていた眠りの中

積み重ねた歴史の中の分だけ描く
通り過ぎてゆく時間の中だけ走る
放り込まれた喧騒の中では泣いて
目も耳もこの両手で全部を塞ぐ

手にした幸せは
空中ブランコの上で
掴み取れないもの
思い描いていた理想の日々

積み重ねた歴史の中の分だけ描く
通り過ぎてゆく時間の中だけ走る
放り込まれた喧騒の中では泣いて
目も耳もこの両手で全部を塞ぐ

塗りつぶされた水彩の絵画には
眠らない夜に見る夢を描いた

Translation

The cat, with empty eyes, heads for the alleys as it wanders about.
A door to another world opens in the library’s courtyard…

The happiness I obtained
Is something that cannot be grasped
Atop a trapeze.
I imagined it during those ideal days.

I will only paint what happened in the past.
I race only through time, as it passes by.

The cat, with empty eyes, runs through the streets at night.
A fantastic vision turns around behind the cinema…

The happiness I obtained
Is something that I cannot fully explain
Atop a trapeze.
I imagined it whilst I was asleep.

I will only paint what happened in the past.
I race only through time, as it passes by.
I cry amid the hustle and bustle I was thrown into.
With both hands, I cover my eyes and ears and block everything out.

The happiness I obtained
Is something that cannot be grasped
Atop a trapeze.
I imagined it during those ideal days.

I will only paint what happened in the past.
I race only through time, as it passes by.
I cry amid the hustle and bustle I was thrown into.
With both hands, I cover my eyes and ears and block everything out.

The watercolour painting was painted over.
In it, I had painted the dream I had during a sleepless night.
