Translation of the song 水に挿した花 artist Akina Nakamori

三日月からプラチナの光がもれる

From the crescent moon a platinum light leaks out

気配にめざめた　部屋のかたすみに

At the sign I woke up in the corner of the room

揺れる天使を見た

I saw an angel shaking

くるぶしまでのびているレースのすそは

The hem of her lace spreads to the ankle

翼のかわりに　はかなくひらめき

Instead of wings. Briefly and fleetingly

甘く語りかける

She says sweet words

さぁ　少女のころに

Come, let's return

返してあげましょう

to when I was a girl

かって愛された日を　もう一度とり戻せるわ

I'll be able to return once again to the day I was loved in my way

あなたはたぶん　あどけなさで　眠る時刻

You maybe when you sleep innocently

彼女は肩にもたれながら　やすらぐのね

She feels good while she lays on your shoulder

恋する時　永遠をしばりはしない

When I fall in love, time isn't bound

だれもが傷つき　罪深いけれど

Everybody get hurt, it's a sin

それも愛(いと)おしいわ

But it's lovely too

ああ　ごめんなさいね

Ah, sorry

ついてはゆけない

I can't follow you

形をかえた痛み　ふたたび手に入れるだけ

I have again the pain that changed its form

花瓶の花がしおれそうで　気にかかるの

I'm worried about the flower withering in the vase

孤独で　水に挿(さ)すことさえ　忘れていた

I forgot it's arranged in the water with loneliness

こうしてひとり　肩を抱いて

That's why alone, holding my shoulders

夢をみるわ

I dream
