Zenmai Jikake no Komoriuta

Mechanical Lullaby

Zenmai Jikake no Komoriuta

Teach me the words, as always
いつものとおりにことばをおしえて
Itsumo no toori ni kotoba o oshiete
And I will turn them into a song
わたしはそれらをうたえとかわよう
Watashi wa sorera o uta e to kae you

What can be obtained by disappointment?
もうそうのなかでなにをてにいれた
Mousou no naka de nani o te ni ireta?
There is only one true song
たったひとつのしんじつのうた
Tatta hitotsu no shinjitsu no uta

Lu li la lu li la, this singing voice
るりらるりらこのうたごえは
Ru Ri Ra Ru Ri Ra kono utagoe wa
Who will she reach, I wonder?
だれのもとへととどくのかな
Dare no moto e to todoku no kana?
When you get the key known as words
ことばというかぎをてにいれ
Kotoba toiu kagi o te ni ire
I will open the gate of the unknown
ひらくみちのとびら
Hiraku michi no tobira

I had the toy I had wanted and ordered so much
ほしいとねがっててにいれたおもちゃを
Hoshii to negatte te ni ireta omocha o
Holding it with both hands, I threw it out the window
りょうてでかかえてまどからすてたの
Ryoute de kakaete mado kara suteta no

Humans cannot be satisfied with objects
まんぞくすることのないにんげんたちよ
Manzoku suru koto no nai ningentachi yo
What do you want and what will you get?
なにをのぞみなにをてにいれる
Nani o nozomi nani o te ni ireru?
If you are tired now
つかれたならばいまはただ
Tsukareta naraba ima wa tada
Please go tô sleep
ねむりなさい
Nemurinasai

Lu li la lu li la, this lullaby
るりらるりらこのこもりうた
Ru Ri Ra Ru Ri Ra kono komoriuta
Can she heal your heart, I wonder?
あなたのこころいやせるかな
Anata no kokoro iyaseru kana?
Carrying the sin known as desire
よくぼうというつみをかかえて
Yokubou toiu tsumi o kakaete
You will now continue tô dream
いまはゆめをみている
Ima wa yume o miteiru

Lu li la lu li la, this singing voice is
るりらるりらこのうたごえは
Ru Ri Ra Ru Ri Ra kono utagoe wa
A mechanical lullaby
ぜんまいじかけのこもりうた
Zenmai -jikake no komoriuta
If you don't give me a rope
あなたがまわしてくれないと
Anata ga mawashite kurenai to
I'll end up stopping
とまってしまうの
Tomatte shimau no

Memories like flowers
はなのようなおもいでたちの
Hana no you na omoidetachi no
And even traumas that, like mud
どろのようなTORAUMAさえも
Doro no you na TORAUMA sae mo
Will continue tô dissolve while I am injured
まわりつづけてとけていくの
Mawari tsuzukete toketeiku no
Everything is inside me
すべてわたしのなかで
Subete watashi no naka de
