:Within a forest where I'd gotten lost
:I heard the sound of a secret bell
:Led forth, I proceeded
:And arrived at an evening banquet
:A young girl danced lazily
:Enveloped in a red garment
:The color of the seething flames
:Captivated, I stood a moment
:Her fingertip grasped the wind
:And outlined a beautiful circle
:The decorations in her hair swayed, sparkled
:And made the slightest sound
:Her song rocked my memories
:Singing of the joys of life
:A lullaby, inviting slumber
:I'd heard it before I was born
:I awoke in the morning haze of the woods
:And heard her voice singing faintly
:Layered atop the murmur of the trees
:It turned into a transparent wind
:So I may one day meet again
:The continuation of my ephemeral dream
:I look up into the sky and hum
:That strange, nostalgic songs
