the pillows- MONSTER C.C.

from smile

translation by terra [ ] 2005

Kokoronai koe ga hibiki
Tebura no ouja wa nageku
Itsumademo shiroi BENCHI ni
Suwarenai

‘Kami ni sazukarishi chikara’
Kenryokusha-tachi wa obie
Kore ijou nai wana de
Ubaitai

Ubaitai ubaitai
Ubaitai ga ubaenai
Ubaenai ubaenai
Ubaenai ga ukabarenai

Hakushu to batou no kaze wo
Kaibutsu no you na ude de
Kakiwakete uchi he kaeru ga
Nemurenai

Nemurenai nemurenai
Nemurenai ga yumemitai
Yumemitai yumemitai
Yume mitai na yumemitai

Suwaritai ukabitai
Nemuritai yumemitai
Yumemitai yumemitai
Yume mitai na yumemitai
What’s my name?

Kokoronai koe ga hibiki
Tebura no ouja wa nageku
Itsu no hi ka shiroi BENCHI ni
Suwaritai
The cruel voices echo
The empty-handed king grieves
I can never sit
On that white bench

‘God-granted power’
The powerful ones are frightened
This unsurpassable power
I want to snare it with a trap

I want to seize it, I want to seize it
I want to seize it, but I cannot seize it
I cannot seize it, I cannot seize it
I cannot seize it, but I cannot rest

The wind of applause and the wind of reproach
Like a monster’s arms
Pushing their way home
But I cannot sleep

I cannot sleep, I cannot sleep
I cannot sleep, but I want to dream
I want to dream, I want to dream
It’s like a dream, I want to dream

I want to sit there, I want to float away
I want to sleep, I want to dream
I want to dream, I want to dream
It’s like a dream, I want to dream
What’s my name?

The cruel voices echo
The empty-handed king grieves
Someday I want to sit
On that white bench
