Track 5: Yume no Ato ni ~Apres un Reve
Translator comments: gYume no ato nih and gapres un reveh simply mean gafter the dreamh in Japanese and French respectively. This may or may not be a reference to how Shuuichirou believed he was dreaming for so long after he met Kohaku. Anyhoo, this is the version of the song that was sung by the Wisteria spirit Hotaru in volume 2 of the manga. YES, THE SONG HAS WORDS, so all you fanfic writers can STOP making up lyrics for it. Though this song in particular is very trippy and symbolic with its imagery so a lot of the meaning is lost in the translation.
After the Dream ~Apres un Reve
On a quiet night
Drifting off to sleep
Softly shaken awake
By the moonfs fingertips
The warmth
You should have lost
Comes back as a memory
Itfs already time for good night, good night
Put that fragment of your heart to rest
Because tomorrow, tomorrow will be gentle
A person you met
Somewhere in a dream
Always searching
For their lingering scent
A pure white lily
Doesnft it look befitting
Upon the coffin of love?
Itfs already time for farewell, farewell
Say goodbye to the distant yesterday
Because tomorrow, tomorrow will be gentle
The abstract blue engraving
Is going to fall
Clogged with weeds
Upon a sundial
Even though beautiful shadow puppets
Beckon to you
From the window
Itfs already time to sleep, sleep
Put that fragment of your heart to sleep
And for the second time, second time
You will awaken
Itfs already farewell, farewell
Say goodbye to the distant yesterday
Because tomorrow, tomorrow will be gentle
Translation notes: Not much else to say here. Make of it what you will.
