Chibiusa no Umi

Japanese

眠れない時いつもママが話してくれた
海に沈んだ国
空を浮かぶ島の話
あたしは夢みるように　夢みるように
あなたの長い睫毛じっと見ていた

思いだすのは大きな大きな
ママのふわふわばベッド

でも波が運んだ
午後は叱られた部屋
赤い海は炎のようで怖いよ
でも波が運んだ
島はからっぽの庭
夜の海は暗い鏡のようで
怖いよ 

Romaji

Nemurenai toki itsumo mama ga hanashitekureta
Umi ni shizunda kuni
sora wo ukabu shima no hanashi
Atashi wa yume miru you ni yume miru you ni
Anata no nagai matsuge jitto miteita

Omoidasu no wa ooki na ooki na
Mama no fuwafuwa na beddo

Demo nami ga hakonda
gogo wa shikarareta heya
Akai umi wa honoo no you de kowai yo
Demo nami ga hakonda
shima wa karappo no niwa
Yoru no umi wa kurai kagami no you de
kowai yo

English

Those times I couldn’t sleep… Mama always told me
Stories about the land that sunk into the sea …
and the island that floats into the sky
It was like I was in a dream… Like in a dream…
I was patiently watching her long eyelashes

I recall… How large, how large…
Mama’s light fluffy bed was

But the waves carry it away,
the room where I was scolded those afternoons
This red sea looks like flames… It frightens me…
But the waves carry it away,
this island is an empty garden
The evening sea is like a dark mirror,
It frightens me
