Title: Yume Nakaba (Half in A Dream)
Words: Hitoto Yoh
Music: Takebe Satoshi

freely
avoid the puddle
1 in the afternoon, there she goes

in january
the season when the white plums blossom
strongly inviting the divination of song

first take hands, interlock and back again
I lead with love for you
from the heel without notice, in the midst of coming back to my senses
and again take hands, you're all "but... "
from the beginning now! ~half in a dream~

da-da-da-dum!
imbued with the first laugh of the year
flung on, the battledore *1
going to Akasaka Mitsuke

I think to myself
with a "welcome home" like mom's
totally forgetting the age difference *2

take hands again and again, interlock and back again
you do as you like!
you always pinky promise, though you can't keep 'em
I act stubborn again, and I'm all "but... "
I jumped over on one foot, we're endless, ~half in a dream~

first take hands, interlock and back again
I lead with love for you
I leave only the pinky and reality behind
and again take hands, you're all "but... "
love isn't enough!! us without end ~half in a dream~

we're endless ~half in a dream~

Translator's Notes: Again, no idea. *s!

* 1 - The word Waraizome written with a different kanji means "first laugh of the new year", but the some used here is to stain/imbue.
* 2 - wasuregumo I've found on other websites but none of the Japanese dictionaries had it. It's a poetic way to say forget entirely.
