Yume no shima shinen kôen / Dream Island Contemplation Park *
by Hirasawa Susumu 


raa-ii-ya ra raiyora
sora ni migoto na kinoko no kumo
raa-ii-ya ra raiyora
komichi de e o hamu kotori no gogo 

komorebi no shiba ni te o furete kimi to katarô
hora ranchi no benchi no ue de yume wa hanasaku 

nami no ne o sono mune ni
yûutsu wa shizumete
hashi o asu ni nobashi
tsunami nado anzuru koto naku 

raa-ii-ya ra raiyora
anna ni migoto na hikôki-gumo
raa-ii-ya ra raiyora
ninki no tôri ni hito yuku gogo wa 

hohoemi de shibashi te o toreba kimi to arukô
hora "banji ni kyûsu" no koe mo kaze ga kakikesu 

asu no hi wa kamawazuni
yukusaki wa makasete
mune ni kagi o kakete
nadare nado shinjiru koto naru 

raa-ii-ya ra raiyora
yume de minareta honô no ame
raa-ii-ya ra raiyora
ofisu no madobe de mezameta gogo wa 

komorebi no shiba ni sasowarete kimi to dekakeyô
hora ranchi no benchi no ue de yume wa hanasaku 

kusa ni fuku kaze o kiki
yûutsu wa nagesute
asu wa hare to shinji
yumemi nado anzuru koto naku 

raa-ii-ya ra raiyora
sora ni migoto na kinoko no kumo
raa-ii-ya ra raiyora
komichi de e o hamu kotori no gogo
raa-ii-ya ra raiyora
ranchi no benchi de sodateta yume
raa-ii-ya ra raiyora
komorebi no hi ni umareta gogo yo

raa-ii-ya ra raiyora
A magnificent mushroom cloud in the sky
raa-ii-ya ra raiyora
In the afternoon where a little bird munches bait on the lane 

I'll touch the lawn in the sunshine through the leaves and talk with you
Look, the dream will bloom on the lunch bench 

The sound of waves in that heart
Drown the gloom

Stretch the bridge to tomorrow
Don't worry about tidal waves 

raa-ii-ya ra raiyora
What a magnificent vapor trail
raa-ii-ya ra raiyora
In the afternoon where people walk on the popular street

I'll take your hand with a smile for a while and walk with you
Listen, the voice of "abandom ship" is erased by the wind 

Don't mind tomorrow
Entrust the destination
Lock your heart
Don't believe in avalanches 

raa-ii-ya ra raiyora
The rain of fire I'm familiar with from the dreams
raa-ii-ya ra raiyora
In the afternoon where I woke up by the window of the office 

I'll set out with you invited by the lawn in the sunshine through the leaves
Look, the dream will bloom on the lunch bench 

Hear the wind blowing in the grass
Throw away the gloom
Believe tomorrow the weather will be clear
Don't worry about dreams 

raa-ii-ya ra raiyora
A magnificent mushroom cloud in the sky
raa-ii-ya ra raiyora
In the afternoon where a little bird munches bait on the lane
raa-ii-ya ra raiyora
The dream raised on the lunch bench
raa-ii-ya ra raiyora
The afternoon born on a day with sunshine through the leaves 


notes 

* Dream Island (yume no shima) is an artificial island in Tokyo Bay made of garbage. There is a park (yume no shima kôen = Dream Island Park) there. "Shinen kôen" (literally "thought park") is a play on "kinen kôen", commemoration park, so I found a synonym for "thought" which sounded most like "commemoration". 

The official English title on the soundtrack is Dream Island Obsession Park, but I didn't like that. Um, sorry?
