I began listening to this song and had to a double-take – I’d heard it before! I had a brief stint playing Dragalia Lost, and a version of this song featuring DAOKO features heavily in it. Her version is called ゆめうつつ (yumeutsutsu, Half-Awake, Half-Asleep).

閃光が瞬く 
閃光が瞬く 
黒目の上にきれいな閃光がずっと 

senkou ga matataku
senkou ga matataku
kurome no ue ni kirei na senkou ga zutto

That glint twinkles.
That glint twinkles.
The beautiful glint in the dark of your eyes twinkles eternally…

美しい美しい光が消えないように 
ずっとずっと追いかけては集めている 
捕まえては消え　捕まえては消え 
捕まえては 

utsukushii utsukushii hikari ga kienai you ni
zutto zutto oikakete wa atsumete iru
tsukamaete wa kie tsukamaete wa kie
tsukamaete wa

So that beautiful, beautiful light would not go out,
I always, always pursued it and gathered it up.
I catch it and it vanishes. I catch it and it vanishes.
I catch it and—

はっとするよ　時の流れが憂鬱で　眠れない夜 
はっとするよ　からっぽだから　なんにもないから　頭と身体が膿でいっぱい 

hatto suru yo toki no nagare ga yuutsu de nemurenai yoru
hatto suru yo karappo dakara nannimo nai kara atama to karada ga umi de ippai

I was taken aback. The passage of time was melancholy during that sleepless night.
I was taken aback. Because I am empty and insignificant, my head and body are crammed with pus.

太鼓の音がする 
太鼓の音がする 
胸の中を叩く太鼓の音がずっと 

taiko no oto ga suru
taiko no oto ga suru
mune no naka o tataku taiko no oto ga zutto

I hear the sound of drums.
I hear the sound of drums.
The sound of drums beating inside my heart continues eternally…

戦え戦え踊れ踊れと 
不安定なテンポで太鼓が胸の中を叩く 
敵はどこ敵はどこ相手はそこだと 
いつまでも探せ探せと叩き叩き 
敵だ敵だと叩いて叩いて　探せ探せと

tatakae tatakae odore odore to
fuantei na tenpo de taiko ga mune no naka o tataku
teki wa doko teki wa doko aite wa soko da to
itsu made mo sagase sagase to tataki tataki
teki da teki da to tataite tataite sagase sagase to

“Fight! Fight! Dance! Dance!”
Urging me on at an unstable tempo, the drums beat inside my heart.
“Where are your enemies? Where?! Your allies are over there.”
“Search forever! Search!” They continue to beat and beat.
“Enemy! Enemy!” They beat and beat. “Search! Search!”

捕まえては消え　捕まえては消え 
捕まえては 

tsukamaete wa kie tsukamaete wa kie
taukamaete wa

I catch it and it vanishes. I catch it and it vanishes.
I catch it and—

はっとするよ　時の流れが憂鬱で　眠れない夜 
はっとするよ　からっぽだから　なんにもないから　頭と身体がヒビでいっぱい 

hatto suru yo toki no nagare ga yuutsu de nemurenai yoru
hatto suru yo karappo dakara nannimo nai kara atama to karada ga hibi de ippai

I was taken aback. The passage of time was melancholy during that sleepless night.
I was taken aback. Because I am empty and insignificant, my head and body are full of cracks.

ららら　ららら　まわりまわるよずっと　目が　くらんでいるから 
ららら　ららら　螺旋の中をずっと　回って　疲れて眠って光と音の渦

ra ra ra ra ra ra mawari mawaru yo zutto me ga kurande iru kara
ra ra ra ra ra ra rasen no naka o zutto mawatte tsukarete nemutte hikari to oto no uzu

La la la, la la la… I’ll spin around forever! After all, I’m dizzy…
La la la, la la la… Inside a helix, I’ll turn forever! I’ll grow tired and sleep in a vortex of light and sound.
