Tsukiyo no DOLPHIN   ("Moonlight Dolphin")
by PSY-S (Emotional Engine, Sony SRCL 3092)
translation: Mark Neidengard


Fushigi na AMETHYST no nami
Anata wa mikazuki megake
Tobiuo ni naru
                                         Wondrous amethyst waves
                                         You become a flying fish to reach
                                         The crescent moon 

Watashi wa nureta iwa no ue
Kami o suki nagara
Oyogu anata o miteru
                                         I look at you swimming
                                         From atop a damp rock
                                         While combing my hair
 
Mitubachi no you ni hashagu mune
                                         My heart is excited like a honeybee

A, A tsukiyo no DOLPHIN no
Se ni tsukamari
Toumei na mizu no soko o tabi shitai
Ningyo no tategoto o hiite ageru
Funanori mayowasu to iu
Ano furui uta o
                                         A, a clutching the moonlit dolphin's
                                           back
                                         I want to journey to the bottom
                                         Of the transparent waters
                                         I'll play on a mermaid's harp for you
                                         That ancient song
                                         Said to confuse sailors

Budoushu mitai na bifuu ga
Tsumetai anata no kokoro
Yowasete yuku no
                                         A light breeze
                                         Is making your cold heart
                                         Drunk like wine

Watashi o mitsumeru manazashi
Houseki mo kogasu atsui
Hitomi no honou
                                         The fire in your eyes
                                         As you gaze at me
                                         Would burn even jewels

Umi ni saku bara no kafuntachi
                                         Pollens of the rose of the sea

A, A tsukiyo no DOLPHIN to tawamuretara
Suichuu no rakuen made moguritai
Anata no CRAWL wa IRUKA mitai
Haha naru umi ni dakarete
Ima koufuku ("shiawase") sou
                                         A, a, when I play with the moonlit
                                           dolphin
                                         I want to dive down to the submarine
                                           paradise
                                         Your swimming is like a dolphin's
                                         Embraced in the mothering sea
                                         Now you look happy

Watashi wa mirai no kajuen
Nodo ga kawaitara
Amai ringo demo
                                         I am the orchard of the future
                                         If you become thirsty
                                         Have a sweet apple

A, A tsukiyo no DOLPHIN no
Se ni tsukamari
Toumei na mizu no soko o tabi shitai
Ningyo no tategoto o hiite ageru
Funanori mayowasu to iu
Ano furui uta o

                                         I want to journey to the bottom
                                         Of the transparent waters
