Into the Dream / 夢の中へ English Lyrics Translation


ENGLISH


Into the Dream

What are you searching for?
Is it difficult to find?
You looked in your bag and inside your desk
But you still can't find it
Do you plan to keep on searching?
But more importantly, won't you dance with me?
Into the dream
Into the dream
Don't you think you'd like to go there?
Come with me!

JAPANESE

夢の中へ

探し物は何ですか?
見つけにくい物ですか?
鞄の中も机の中も
探したけれど見つからないのに
まだまだ探す気ですか?
それより僕と踊りませんか?
夢の中へ
夢の中へ
行ってみたいと思いませんか?
さあ~!

OPINION

This time, I both translated and transcribed the lyrics myself!! …Because I couldn't find them anywhere, haha. This song is pretty rare. It's from BUMP's radio show, PONTSUKA, when they were in Hawaii on July 29th, 2001. The dialogue at the end is hard to make out, but basically they are talking about how they are in Hawaii and it's summer, and Naoi keeps asking Fujiwara, "Wasn't I great?!" with Fujiwara responding, "Really great." It's a short song, but I love the sound and fun-but-nostalgic vibe. :D Also, all the false starts at the beginning, haha, I get the feeling that Fujiwara had to coax all the members to calm down and sing. XD Datenshi Kuriko posted to tell me this song was originally sung by Yosui Inoue, thanks!! You can listen to the BUMP and original versions at the links below!
