L'Arc~en~Ciel - GARASU dama
(Glass Ball)
music:ken / lyrics:hyde
BARANSU nakushita sakana no yoo ni
boku wa rasen o egaku
minamo ni yurameku KIREI na tsuki ga
oyogi tsukareta hada o sotto terashite
(Like a fish that has lost its balance,
I spiral down.
The beautiful moon that sways on the water's surface
softly shines on my body which is tired from swimming.)
koborete yuku toiki wa GARASU dama
takusan no hikari atsume mai agatteku
words into the silence
tsuki ga sotto nami o yurasu keredo
(The falling sigh is a glass ball.
The many light beams that gather rise away.
Words into the silence.
The moon softly rocks the waves.)
tomedonaku nagaredashita
kioku wa mune o shimetsukete
ano yasashisa mo ano tokimeki mo motteku yo
toki ni dakarete into the silence
...moo boku wa kore ijoo oyogenai kara
(Memories that began to flood in
press hard in my chest.
They take away both that tenderness and that heartbeat.
I'm held by time into the silence.
...because I don't have the strength to swim anymore.)
ima mata kootta shizuku no hamon ga yubisaki made hirogari...
(Once again, the ripples from a frozen drop spread out until they reach a fingertip...)
a, sukoshi zutsu todaeteku
masshiro na toki ni miserarete
ano uta sae moo omoidasenai
a, kono mama boku wa kiete shimai soo
into the silence
(Ah, little by little, it stops.
I'm hypnotized by the pure white time.
I can no longer remember even that song,
ah, as if I am fading away.)
minamo ni yurameku KIREI na tsuki ga
oyogi tsukareta hada o sotto terashi...
(The beautiful moon that sways on the water's surface
softly shines on my body which is tired from swimming...)
