my long forgotten cloisterd sleep-梶浦由記

in my long forgotten cloistered sleep

you and I were resting close in peace

was it just a dreaming of my heart?

now I'm crying, don't know why

where do all the tears come from?

could no one ever dry up the spring?

if you find me crying in the dark

please call my name, from the heart

sing with me a tiny autumn song

weep me melodies of the days gone by

dress my body all in flowers white,

so no mortal eye can see

where have all my memories gone?

should I roam again up yonder hill?

I can never rest my soul

until you call my name

you call my name, from the heart

in my long forgotten cloistered sleep

someone kissed me, whispering words of love

is it just a longing of my heart?

such a moment of such peace

where do all the tears come from?

with no memories, why should I cry?

I can never rest my soul

until you call my name…you call my name

you call my name, call my soul, from the heart
