Ha no Yume Nooto (葉の夢ノート)

[nebulancer]

English translation:

 

Within a special dream that’s always been this close by,

It’s like I’m the only one in a child’s pipe dream

 

I thought it was a miracle

That we could be together

My days were full of piling up little wishes

Wanting to protect it somehow

 

I want to hold this one second tight

As I sear it into the depths of my heart

Underneath the swaying dappled sunlight that I looked up at again today,

I murmur to you,

“I’ll right by your side.”

 

We stopped in our tracks as we walked back and forth –

Gazing at the sprouts of grass, you bloomed the innocence

Which we were drawn to

 

Your words and sounds touched me, enveloped me

I came to realize that the puzzles that I couldn’t decipher with reasoning

Were my reason to live

 

I don’t want to forget this one second

I’ll keep adding more to the leaf’s dream notebook

Even if the clouds smother the prismatic sky,

I’ll keep waiting

For tomorrow to come

 

No matter how uneasy my heart felt,

I wouldn’t show it on my face

Letting my frustrated voice

Ride upon your songs,

I came to know my true self

 

I don’t want to forget this one second

I’ll simply sear it into the depths of my heart

Underneath the flowing wind that I looked up at again today,

To you, the dreamer,

From now on and forever

 

I want to hold

This specialness tight

 

La la la...

Kanji:

 

こんなに近くで　特別な夢のなか

子供の絵空事を　僕だけ見てるような

 

一緒にいることが

奇跡に思えたんだ

どうにか　守りたくて

小さな願い　積み重ねた日々

 

抱き締めてたい　この一秒を

心のなかに　焼き付けながら

今日も見上げた　揺れる木漏れ日の下で

君へとつぶやく

僕が付いてるよ

 

行き交う足を止めて　草の芽を見つめた君の

咲かせた無邪気さに　僕らは惹かれたんだ

 

君の言葉や音に触れて　包まれて

理性じゃほどけないパズルが

生きる意味だって分かったよ

 

忘れたくない　この一秒を

葉の夢ノートに書き加えていく

色とりどりの空が雲に隠れても

明日が来るのを

僕は待ってるよ

 

心が騒いでも

顔には見せなかった

もどかしげな声が

君の歌に乗って

本当の自分を知ったんだ

 

忘れたくない　この一秒を

心のなかに　ただ焼き付けて

今日も見上げた　流れゆく風の下で

夢見る君へと

これからも　ずっと

 

抱き締めてたい

この特別を

 

La la la...
