L'Arc~en~Ciel - nemuri ni yosete

(Thinking of You in My Sleep)

music:ken / lyrics:hyde


mezame wa hizashi no itazura
kioku ga mado kara sotto suriyotte kita kara
mata me o tojita...

  (I opened my eyes to the sunlight's teasing.
  Memories quietly closed in on me from the window,
  so I closed my eyes again...)

odayaka na nami ni mamorarete nemuru watashi wa
yurikago ni yurari yurarete tadayotte iru
hikari o naze ka machi nagara

  (Protected by the gentle waves, why do I sleep
  in the swaying cradle hanging in the air
  as I wait for the sun?)

toomei na yume ni nemuru
pulling back the hands of time
kowarete shimatta watashi wa yume ni nemuru
to the land of the purest
itami ga yawaragu made okosanaide

  (I sleep in the transparent dream.
  The shattered me sleeps in the dream.
  Until the pain eases, don't wake me up.)

aa taemanaku tsuzuku kodoo ni
yasashiku dakarete iru

  (Ah, I am gently embraced by
  the incessant beat.)

sono komuriuta wa yagate hayamari
zawameku nami no naka
tooku de watashi o yobukoe ga kikoeta

  (Your lullaby is gradually speeding up.
  In the waves of sound,
  my faraway shout could be heard.)

toomei na yume ni nemuru
pulling back the hands of time
kowarete shimatta watashi wa yume ni nemuru
to the land of the purest
omoidashitaku nai kara ima wa moo

  (I sleep in the transparent dream.
  The shattered me sleeps in the dream.
  I dont' want to remember, so let me sleep again.)

dare ni mo furetaku nai
kowasaretaku nai kara
mezamezu kono mama nemutte ita hoo ga iin da

  (I don't want to touch anyone.
  I don't want to be hurt,
  so you should have let me keep sleeping as I was.)

toomei na yume ni nemuru
pulling back the hands of time
kowarete shimatta watashi wa yume ni nemuru
to the land of the purest
dare yori mo tooi basho

  (I sleep in the transparent dream.
  The shattered me sleeps in the dream.
  I go farther than anyone else.)

toomei na yume ni nemuru
pulling back the hands of time
kowarete shimatta watashi wa yume ni nemuru
to the land of the purest
itami ga yawaragu made okosanaide

  (I sleep in the transparent dream.
  The shattered me sleeps in the dream.
  Until the pain eases, don't wake me up.)

aa hikari ga watashi o tsurete yuku...
itsuka mata kaette koreru kana

  (Ah, the light takes me away...
  I wonder if someday, I'll be able to return again.)
