aru hi mezameru to

senaka ni hane ga haete ta

aoku sukitooru

ooki na cho no hane ga

yube yume wo mita no

totemo fushigi na yume



aru hi mezameru to

watashi wa cho ni kawatta

mukashi yume wo mita no

zutto oboete ita

totemo fushigi na yume

totemo utsukushii aoi cho no yume



aru hi mezameru to

watashi wa koi ni ochiteta



yube yume wo mita no

totemo fushigi na yume



aru hi mezameru to

watashi wa umarekawatta

soshite mado wo akete

awai haru no hizashi

watashi wa mado kara dete yuku

one day as i woke up

wings had grown on my back

almost transparent blue

wings like a big butterfly's

which i saw last night

in this strange dream



one day as i woke up

i had become a butterfly

which i had seen long ago

and still could remember

in a strange dream

a beautiful dream with a blue butterfly



one day as i woke up

i had fallen in love



like i had dreamt the night before

a strange dream



one day as i woke up

i had been reborn

then i opened the window

the pale light of spring

and flew away through the window
