English Translation

The moment when the faded world comes back to life with colorsAfter all the rain when things are so sereneWith what and how can I describe them to let you know?Life is dropping sceneriesWith cold and unknown memories,They keep me stumbling through misery without a place to goI cannot die, all the “why”sI let them fall and left them behind,But here I am, breathing still with my own will And hoping for tomorrowOh, I remember even in such depressing timesI was a wild, delighted and fearless little childNow let me flyGive me something true that brings the colors to this choking heartIf I knew this was a dream,I would’ve never woken up to be releasedSo no more cryThere’s nothing we can’t make come trueJust like we used to doKnowing it’s only a dreamWe never ceased to walk on and to be freeRunning through this life, to the end of nightsWhat we were dying to reachOnly living in a fantasyLike a “Ramune” glass ballSo close and so farIt looked just so beautifulViaducts that cut the skyAnd all the crane trucks in busy line,And as I am waking up from dreams to prayEverything just looks so bland and turns to greySneering at my past as if I’m playing the wisest partClearly I can see it was that me with childish heartWavering is the heat haze, shadows growing tall and paleUnder the silent glow, now blooming is the moonI’ve never knownThe treasures in life and tomorrowThat’s why I’ve dared to liveTo find and know everythingWhat it is all about, love, death, what they bringNow move onNo matter how many times we fall in vain and regret“If I knew this was a dream”What’s the use of cursing to cry and pleadSince I found the world where you were livingThe sounds and the words, they’ve been ringing and calling my heartFar, but never apartI was seeing youAnd the world looked just so beautiful
