夢を見る人形と
みんな私を呼ぶの
風に揺られ 白い風船
飛んでるみたいと
しっかり握ってね
時々 恐くなるの
とても高い空を抜けて 消えてしまいそう

そうよあの人がいれば
きっと守ってくれるわ
あの雲にのり お話をするの
もしかしたら “好き" と云えるの

夢唄う人形と
みんな私に云うの
海に浮かぶ 白い風船
リズムに合わせて
しっかりと見ていてね
涙がこぼれそうよ
どこか遠い知らない街 たどりつきそう

そうよ あの人がいれば
なにも 恐くなんかない
あの風にのり小鳥と遊び
勇気をだして “好き" といいたい

そうよ あの人がいれば
なにも 恐くなんかない
あの風にのり小鳥と遊び
勇気をだして “好き" といいたい
勇気をだして “好き" といいたい

Yume o miru ningyo to

kaze ni yurare shiroi fuusen
tonderu mitai to

tokidoki kowaku naru no
totemo takai sora o nuke te kie te shimai sou

sou yo ano hito ga ire ba
kitto mamotte kureru wa
ano kumo ni nori ohanashi o suru no
moshika shi tara "suki" to un eru no

yume utau ningyo to

sou yo ano hito ga ire ba

yuuki o dashi te "suki" to ii tai
yuuki o dashi te "suki" to ii tai

Translation

 

Everyone calls me
The dreaming doll
Like a white balloon borne by the wind
I may just fly away
So hold on tight
Sometimes, I get frightened
Of flying up too high and disappearing

Yes, if that someone is here
He will surely protect me
We’ll ride on that cloud and chat
And maybe I’ll tell him “I love you”

Everyone tells me
I’m a doll that sings of dreams
Like a white balloon floating on the sea
Matching the wave’s rhythm
Just keep watching me
The tears threaten to fall
As I drift to reach a faraway unknown city

Yes, if that someone is here
I’m not afraid of anything
We’ll ride on that wind and play with the birds
I want to have the courage to say “I love you”

Yes, if that someone is here
I’m not afraid of anything
We’ll ride on that wind and play with the birds
I want to have the courage to say “I love you”
I want to have the courage to say “I love you”
