Otogi to Shiru Sekai (A Fairy Tale World)

日本語

御伽の世界が覚めないような
夢を見よう ボクと

木組みの朝は遠く(薮髙)(遠く)
手招く夜と森のカーテン
震えた手のひらは(薮髙)(小さくって)
不意の強がり 任せておいて!

It's time.
果てない迷路 教えてよヘンゼル

(有知)「光る石を辿ろう」
(有知)それはあの子の[あの子の]涙だったんだ

迷う闇の中 君で満たしたら
明るく見えるのはどうして?
御伽の世界が覚めないような
夢を見よう あの日へ帰ろう ボクと

色づく全部が遠く
ボロ着の細い肩寄せ合った
おいしいものなんて(話なんて)
一切がボクらに無縁なものだった

なんで?
幸せだって言えちゃうよ グレーテル

(八中)君が唱えた魔法
(八中)震えた明日[明日] 今日変わっていく

煤けたお菓子も 頬が落ちるほど
甘く感じるのはどうして?
喉を枯らすくらい泣いたから?
もしかして 君といるから? 違いはないな

過ぎる景色は遠く
栞は挟まないまま
片道だけの夢の中
また今日を (髙中)明日を めくる

最後のページも
君がいて(伊知)くれたらいいな

迷う闇の中 君で満たしたら
明るく見えるのはどうして?
御伽の世界が覚めないような
夢を見よう あの日へ帰ろう ボクと

English

Dream with me
So we don't wake from this fairy tale world

The morning that we see that wooden framework again is far off(薮髙)(far off)
The night beckons us through the curtain of the forest
Your trembling hands(薮髙)(are so small)
Suddenly, I put on a brave face Leave everything to me!

It's time.
A never ending maze Tell me, Hansel

(有知)"Let's follow the trail of shining pebbles"
(有知)It turns out those were her [her] tears

Even though I'm wandering in the dark When you fill me up inside
Why does it suddenly seem so bright?
Let's go back to that day
Dream with me so we don't wake from this fairy tale world

All of the ripe fruit is so far away
We lean on each other, our shoulders bony and clothing in rags
Good food(or stories)
We had no such things

Why?
I can say that I'm happy, Gretel

(八中)We would have spent tomorrow [tomorrow] shivering But that changes today
(八中)Thanks to the spell that you cast

Why is it that even sooty, dirty candy
Tastes so sweet and delicious?
Is it because I cried until my voice went hoarse?
Or maybe Is it because I'm with you? There's no difference

The scenery passes by in the distance
I don't need a bookmark
Within this one-way dream
I'll turn the page again today(髙中)and tomorrow

(伊知)I hope you'll still be here with me
When I turn the last page

Even though I'm wandering in the dark When you fill me up inside
Why does it suddenly seem so bright?
Let's go back to that day
Dream with me so we don't wake from this fairy tale world



Notes

Theme: Hansel and Gretel

My interpretation is that the song is from Hansel's POV. As he and Gretel wander through the woods, starving, trying to find their way home, being with his sister gives him the strength to keep going.
The "wooden framework" may refer to their house and their father, the woodcutter.
