優しい忘却 - 茅原実里 перевод на английский

優しい忘却

望むことは何?
わたしが問い掛ける
なにもいらない 嘘ではなかった
消える世界にも
わたしの場所がある
それをしらない 自分でさえも
閉じ込めた意識は
時を結び
願いを繰り返す
また会うまで 忘れないで
巡る日々の中
わたしに残るのは
記憶それとも 忘却だろうか
やがて世界には
眠りが訪れて
ひとりひとりの あしたに帰る
選ばれた未来を
見送る扉
願いが叶っても
忘れないで 忘れないで
消える世界にも
わたしの場所がある
それをしらない 自分でさえも
思い出すまでは...

My Gentle Forgetfulness

What is it that you desire?
I ask you.
You said you need nothing, and I know you meant it.
In a world that’s fading away,
There is a place for me.
Even I, myself, don't know this yet.
My suppressed consciousness
Connects time
And repeats my wish.
Until we meet again, don't forget me.
In the midst of the passing days,
What will be left of me?
Memories? Or oblivion?
Eventually, upon the world,
Sleep shall fall,
Returning each one of us to our tomorrows.
The chosen future
Awaits us beyond this door.
Even when my wish comes true,
Don't forget me. Don't forget me.
In this fading world,
There is a place for me.
Even I, myself, don't know this yet.
Until I remember...
