Mama I dropped the candy. Mama could I please have another one?
Hey Oni-san just try and tag me
Days spent playing at Gion
Each day...each night rocked back and forth
Facing the new moon, with a lullabye
You're like a Japanese doll,
Without ever changing your expression,
Softly close your eyes
I am at your side
Go to sleep go to sleep little one
Now I'm think of my dead mother
Her image intertwining with this child's
Let's go play the koto again
Back and forth, turning, swinging and collapsing
Back and forth, turning, swinging and collapsing
Back and forth, turning, making sound.
"Mother and you and my new relation"
Without thinking I put my hand on your neck
You say nothing and you do nothing
I'm gonna sing the last lullabye while you smile at me
I wonder why I fell in love with you
Impossible Love.
Put your tiny hands put together
Palm to palm...
An impossible dream
Corpse and love.
Back and forth, turning, swinging and collapsing
Back and forth, turning, swinging and collapsing
Back and forth, turning, making sound.
Mother and you and my new relation
Mother and you and my new relation
Mother and you and my new relation
