Kuuchuu Teien

Beloved, painful…even to nestle in cast-off shell doesn’t satisfy
I just can’t steal your heart…why?

Time stops within me; past and future sleep on the breeze of a light doze
Borderland between sleeping and waking

The aqua castle floating in the sky to ends of the earth

Murmuring, ‘Arch, rainbow!’, the sun awakes
Whispering, ‘Fall, stars!’, I face the moon

All will come to pass only in this dream
But I pretended not to notice the emptiness, the loneliness…
…always

Murmuring, ‘Arch, rainbow!’, the sun awakes
Whispering, ‘Fall, stars!’, I face the moon

All will come to pass only in this dream
But even if I try to kiss you…a marionette free from false love

Beloved, painful…even to nestle in cast-off shell doesn’t satisfy
I just can’t steal your heart…why?

Have I forgotten time?
Been forgotten by time?
This dream garden in the air
When I wake you’re not there…
