Kenshi Yonezu – Daydream aka Yume Utsutsu (English Translation)

Lyrics:
I’ve been searching forever for the followup to a dream,
In weaving back alleys alongside the entire town
Carrying an advertisement, a paper airplane takes flight;
How far will it fly, I wonder?
I kept staring at nothing but emptiness,
Because I simply wanted to notice another’s pain
Whenever I get something, something goes right past me
Goodbye – I wonder if we can meet again?
A journey facing back-to-back, it goes on still
Wounds no one can know, they add up without healing
It’ll someday melt into the wind at any rate,
So then, at least for tonight…
A lightness of body, as if sprouting wings;
May it continue to dwell in you
Unnoticed by even the sullen-faced snake,
In the cracks of our days, good night
Safe within a peaceful dream,
May you continue to sleep soundly
You can’t be looking like that;
Still childishly playing until we’re exhausted – well then,
See you tomorrow…
A settled flock of sheep, on an idiotic planet
Opened to wind, flowers, and birds, a refined spaceship
An ad balloon searching for something and abandoning something
Where am I, I wonder?
Ceaselessly tempted by a dazzling light,
The spilled-over sheep still dream
I’ll blow away in the wind as well at any rate,
So then, at least for tonight…
A joy that makes you want to shout out;
May it continue to dwell in you
Where even the revolutionaries’ jeers don’t reach,
Let us dance at the edge of the night
If it’s what you desire, that song of yours,
It could surely aid in someone’s dream
Someone like that won’t understand;
Still hidden behind the story – well then,
See you tomorrow…
Living half-dreaming, loving each other one thing at a time
Unhesitatingly crossing the way, to get to you
Drearily coming to hate it all, your face grows distant
Tell me if you’re tired – let’s have a talk…
Living half-dreaming, loving each other one thing at a time
Unhesitatingly crossing the way, to get to you
Drearily coming to hate it all, your face grows distant
Tell me if you’re tired – let’s have a talk…
