Rocket
Lyrics: Arimura Ryuutarou
Composition: Hasegawa Tadashi
Translation by Yuri_Nikko
I’ve been dreaming the same dream too much
Even today I couldn’t sleep for 2 hours
Deep in my heart a bell starts to toll
Sometimes I try to go outside
Though I hold no bible in my hands
in a park I send my prayers up to the sky
a sky that’s too pure a blue
And then I’m too far away
Due to my passion for you
My blood becomes thick
A screw starts to turn
I really wanted to cry
And still I go to sleep
as I ascend into the sky
even my prayers will cross over
until they’re hidden in the light
eternally I’ll gaze at it
In a flock of crows there is one who does not sing
sitting on the electrical lines, like musical notes
I traced the melody they left for me
Without a sound they flew away
Though there are too many words stuffed in my heart
In a voice I still can’t use someday they’ll overflow
I’ll rise to the highest, ascending to the top of the bluest blue
In midsummer I’ll gasp as I slip into it
Due to my passion for you
My blood becomes thick
A screw starts to turn
I really wanted to cry
And still I go to sleep
as I ascend into the sky even my prayers will cross over
as they’re hidden in the light I won’t let them go
“From there…hey, can you still see me now?”
Hey, until the ends of the universe
I’ll inhale it all
Someday I’m going to vanish
I opened my eyes
I was there in that fading world
In the sky I saw my hopes coming back to me

Translation by abstract raven
I keep having the same dream every night
And again, I only slept for two hours
A bell in my heart rings
Sometimes I’ll try going out.
I’m not holding a bible in my hands
So at the park, A prayer of hope to the sky
The clear sky that is too blue
And me, who is too far away
“Because of you and the warmth, the blood is full of body”
A screw loosens, and i really start wanting to cry
This is where sleep closes in, climbing the sky and wishes also float up
Until the light is buried, I’ll keep gazing at it
The crows sitting silently on the electric lines, look like notes written on music paper
I, being puzzled by the meoldy, leave it be
And they, without making a sound fly away
If they were words, there would be so many stuck in my heart
But even the way I am now without making a sound, they will overflow someday
And climbing up till forever into this bluer-than-blue
I, out of breath, pass through and am surrounded
“Becuase of you and the warmth, the blood is full of body”
A screw loosens, and I really start wanting to cry
This is where sleep closes in, climbing the sky and wishes also float up
While being buried in light, separating
“That’s enough…umm…. can you still see me?”
Ah, being absorbed until the end of the universe
Before long, one day I’ll dissapear
Awaking from the dream. I went to a world that is now fading away.
I saw the sky. And hope returns again.
