Life, Life

阪本龍一 - LIFE, LIFE

And this I dreamt and this I dream

And some time this I will dream again

And all will be repeated all be re-embodied

You will dream everything I have seen in dream

To one side from ourselves to one side from the world

Wave follows wave to break on the shore

On each wave is a star a person a bird

Dreams reality death on wave after wave

No need for a date I was I am and I will be

Life is a wonder of wonders and to wonder

I dedicate myself on my knees like an orphan

Alone among mirrors fenced in by reflections

Cities and seas iridescent intensified

A mother in tears takes a child on her lap
