ミッドナイト・プール || Midnight Pool

日本語

きみと浮く 緩(ぬる)い水
無重力の波間
とわの なつの さがよ

息の音 泡にして
何小節かあと
柔く 揺らぐ リズム

ライトひとつだけ灯して
ルーズリーフの歌うたう
いとおしいきみの走り書き
しらない世界への旅立ち
わたしに意味を与えてくれる
息継ぎだってさせてくれる
あなたの音のなかに
いつもわたしを探すの

青い姿はまるで人魚のよう
軽薄なポップスも
溶かしてしまうだろう
こっちへおいでよ
歌を聴かせてよ
唯一のその声に
身をゆだねていたいのさ

五線譜にたゆたう月ときみ
迷わず飛び込む底なしのプール
血液の中の電子たち
交わり綻び光が差す
ぼくのかわりのきみのかわりのぼく
今宵、今宵、音になる

Translation

I float with you in lukewarm water
in the weightless gaps between waves.
This the nature of eternal summer.

The sounds of my breath become bubbles
and after a few bars of music
the rhythm gently sways.

I turn on a single light
and sing a song from loose leaf paper
written in your dear scrawl.
I set off on a journey to a strange world.
You give me meaning.
You even grant me a place to breathe.
Within your sounds
I am always searching for myself.

Your blue form is just like a mermaid.
You’ll melt that superficial pop music
as well, perhaps.
Come this way.
Sing for me.
I want to surrender myself
to your unique voice.

You and the moon drift along the stave.
I will dive into the bottomless pool without hesitating.
The electrons in my blood
intersect and come apart, and light shines in.
You, instead of me, instead of you
will tonight, tonight, become sound.
