Yura Yura Teikoku - Sand Castle
ゆらゆら帝国 - 砂のお城

Spitting saliva mixed with sand
on a sunburned afternoon beach.
Waterspray lands on my cheek.
It's cold... I'm retreating back to myself.

What is this? Where am I?
What time is it? Wait a second...
I check my grounding,
then immediately start chasing it.

Lighthouse. Sand castle.
It seems like my childhood. It seems like an unending dream.
Far away, I hear someone's voice
It seems like my childhood.
This next wave is huge.

Spitting saliva mixed with sand
on a sunburned afternoon beach.
The children's voices are all "yes."
Please, just let me sleep a little.
Evening. No, last year.
No, more. No, it's something that came much earlier...

Lighthouse. Sand castle.
It's like childhood. It seems like an unending dream.
Far away, there's a foreign ship.
As it is, I don't want to go home. I want to travel away on that ship...



砂混じりのつばをペッ
焼けつく肌 午後のビーチ
水しぶきが頬にピュッ
冷たい ちょっとわれに返る。

今何、ここどこ 
今何時 ちょっと待って
足を確かめて
すぐに追いかけて、ゆくから、

灯台 砂のお城
子度もの頃みたい  終わらない夢がみたい
遠くで誰かの声が
子度もの頃みたい
次に来る波はでかい

砂混じりのつばをペッ
焼けつく肌 午後のビーチ
子供達の声はハイ
おねがい ちょっと眠らせてくれよ
夕べ いや去年
いやもっと いやもっともっと前に来たことが、、、

灯台 砂のお城
子供の頃みたい 終わらない夢がみたい
遠くで 外国船が、、
このまま帰りたくない あの船で旅をしたい、、、、
