Lyrics[]
| Japanese | Romaji | English |
| 深い眠りから覚めたような | fukai nemuri kara sameta you na | A dream-like, sweet fragrance— |
| 夢のような | yume no you na | as if I had awoken from a deep sleep |
| 柔らかく温かくて | yawarakaku atatakakute | It's tender, and warm, |
| 思い出せない少し甘い匂い | omoidasenai sukoshi amai nioi | but there's a little I can't remember about this fragrance. |
| 抜け落ちたのは何 | nukeochita no wa nani | What has fallen away? |
| 戻して | modoshite | Return it. |
| 一体何の話 | ittai nan no hanashi | What the heck are you talking about? |
| ほんの少しの言葉さえ霧がかった森のように | honno sukoshi no kotoba sae kiri gakatta mori no you ni | Even those few words, like the misty forest, |
| 静かに漂い続けて | shizuka ni tadayoi tsuzukete | quietly continue to float. |
| 取り残された意識だけ彷徨えば夢現 | torinokosareta ishiki dake samayoeba yumeutsutsu | If I wander, simply leaving my consciousness behind, then I'm half-awake and half-asleep. |
| 遥か遠い昔の願い呑みこんだ渦 | haruka tooi mukashi no negai nomikonda uzu | My wishes of the faraway, distant past are swallowed by the whirlpool. |
| 幾つもの想い溶け込んで今夢現 | ikutsu mo no omoi tokekonde ima yumeutsutsu | Many of my thoughts dissolve away now in this trance.[1] |
| 懐かしい思い出せない何か | natsukashii omoidasenai nanika | There's something nostalgic, although I can't exactly remember; |
| 今も何処か遠く | ima mo dokoka tooku | even now, it's somewhere far away. |
| 拾い集めている | hiroiatsumete iru | Gathering it up, |
| 返して | kaeshite | return it. |
| 目覚めきれない世界 | mezamekirenai sekai | I can't awake from this world. |
| ほんの少しの言葉だけ濁りきった海のように | honno sukoshi no kotoba dake nigorikitta umi no you ni | Only a few words, like the turbid sea— |
| 静かに漂い続け残る | shizuka ni tadayoi tsuzuke nokoru | Quietly, they are left to float. |
| 不確かな夢見続けて | futashika na yumemi tsuzukete | I continue to dream an uncertain dream. |
| 取り残された意識だけ彷徨えば夢現 | torinokosareta ishiki dake samayoeba yumeutsutsu | If I wander, simply leaving my consciousness behind, then I'm half-awake and half-asleep. |
| 遥か遠い昔の願い呑みこんだ渦 | haruka tooi mukashi no negai nomikonda uzu | My wishes of the faraway, distant past are swallowed by the whirlpool. |
| 幾つもの想い溶け込んで今夢現 | ikutsu mo no omoi tokekonde ima yumeutsutsu | Many of my thoughts dissolve away now in this trance. |
| 懐かしい思い出せない何か夢現 | natsukashii omoidasenai nanika yumeutsutsu | There's something nostalgic, although I can't exactly remember, since I'm only half-awake. |
| 失くした大切な祈りは彼方へ | nakushita taisetsu na inori wa kanata e | A prayer, its importance lost, is far away. |
| 失くした大切な祈りは置き去り | nakushita taisetsu na inori wa okizari | A prayer, its importance lost, is left behind. |
| もう聞こえない 届かない 思い出せない | mou kikoenai todokanai omoidasenai | Already, I can't hear, it doesn't reach, I can't remember— |
| 彷徨い 夢現 | samayoi yumeutsutsu | I'm wandering half-asleep. |

Translation Notes[]
- ↑ So the word I translated as "trance" is actually still the word for "half-awake and half-asleep," (/yumeutsutsu/) which is in the title of the song but also appears in numerous other places. My dictionary lists three possible meanings: "half-awake and half-asleep," "trance" and "dream and reality." Just putting this here because that word is important to this song.
