itsutsu koro no boku no yume wa tanin ni naru koto

boku ni ikiru imi wo oshiete... [owari. iie, tsuzu.]*

*ENG. TRANSLATION :
A Pinch of Flowers
Around five, my dream was to become someone else
In this world, who did I dislike more than myself
Becoming four, my dream was to become a great man
In this world, what did I dislike more than rules
When, when can I meet the bird in the woven bamboo, woven bamboo cage
'Who's on the front of the reverse side?'
The outside of the cage that I had always seen
Anywhere, the dream of just one person was endless and continued
Anywhere, we are frail
Forever not wanting to become an adult; because I close my eyes today as well
Tell me the meaning of life... The end. No, continuation.
Translator's Note:
A 'monme' (as it is read in Japanese) is a unit of weight, approximately equal to 3.75 grammes. Also, the song is based on a Japanese children's game, with the phrases from the game's song in the lyrics.
