Artist: L'Arc~en~Ciel
Title: Ophelia
Words: Hyde
Music: Hyde

you sparkle, wrapped in your lovely dress
the sweetly intoxicating scent of cassis in the air

My dearest Ophelia - what's the reason for your silence?
Your lips are cold as ice
My dearest Ophelia - will you speak to me no more?

you swim a glass filled with memories
the sadness beneath your mannerisms,
is like a knife to my heart

My dearest Ophelia - there are things I never told you
Falling into the dream
My dearest Ophelia - can you trust in me no more?

endless kisses on your smooth skin
if you'll permit me, I wish to devote my love to you.
I wander far

how many loves, how many punishments does it take to reach you?
answer me, Ophelia.

smile, tell me you jest and hold me like you did that day
I pray that your eyes will open once more
I wander far

endless kisses on your smooth skin
floating in the night, you're just too far away
I search in vain.

My dearest Ophelia - there are things I never told you
Falling into the dream
My dearest Ophelia - can you trust in me no more?

owaranai kuchizuke wo nameraka na sono hada ni
yurusareru nara kimi he kono ai wo sasagetai I wander far

ikutsu no ai to batsu to de kimi he to tadoritsukeru no?
kotaete nee Ophelia

ano hi no you dakishimete uso to itte hohoende
mou ichido sono hitomi ga hirakareru no wo inori I wander far

owaranai kuchizuke wo nameraka na sono hada ni
yoru ni ukanda kimi ha amari ni mo toosugite I search in vain
