Bouya no Yume yo

Boy's Dream

Bouya no Yume yo

In the little one's dream,
ちいさなひとのこよ
Chiisana hito no ko yo
Lost in the woods,
もりへまよいこんだ
mori e mayoikonda
Those big wings,
おおきなこのはねが
ookina kono hane ga
The boy can't see them.
ぼうやはみえないのね
bouya wa mienai no ne

Knowing nothing,
なにもしらない
nanimo shiranai
With those round cheeks.
まあるいほっぺよ
maarui hoppe yo

Sleep now, sleep now,
ねむれやねむれ
nemure ya nemure
Come to the quiet shore.
しずかなみずべにおいで
shizukana mizube ni oide
The boy's dream,
ぼうやのゆめは
bouya no yume wa
Carried on the dragon's back,
りゅうのせにはこばれて
ryuu no se ni hakobarete
Fades beyond the mountains.
やまのむこうへきえる
yama no mukou e kieru

All the cola cans,
よろずのこーらも
yorozu no ko-ra mo
Lined up, sleeping tight.
ならんでねむる
narande nemuru
When I count to seven,
ななつかぞえたら
nanatsu kazoe tara
We’ll sleep together, alright.
なかよくねむってく
nakayoku nemutte ku

Seeing nothing at all,
なにもみえない
nanimo mienai
Little sleepy eyes.
ちいさなをめめよ
chiisana o me-me yo

Sleep now, sleep now,
ねむれやねむれ
nemure ya nemure
Come to the swaying grass.
そよぐくさむらへおいで
soyogu kusamura e oide
The boy's dream,
ぼうやのゆめは
bouya no yume wa
Searching for his mother,
かあさんをさがしては
kaasan o sagashite wa
Returns beyond the sky.
そらのむこうへかえる
sora no mukou e kaeru

Carried on the dragon's back,
りゅうのせにはこばれて
ryuu no se ni hakobarete
Fades beyond the mountains.
やまのむこうへきえる
yama no mukou e kieru
