Kanji

遙かな記憶は
水面に描いた
翡翠の波間に　浮かび

わたしの身体は
届かぬ底方へ
撓み沈み搖れて落ちる

生まれくる前に
視た夢が泳ぎつく場所は
なんにもなくても
すべてがあふれる
光で織られた岸辺でしょうか

ぬくもる目蓋は
開くの　それとも
閉じるためにあるのかしら

生まれくる前に
視た夢が迪りつく時は
薄闇の幕が
そっと捲られた
あなたに出会った
あの日でしょうか

生まれゆく前に
還ったあとも夢はつづき
忘れえぬ声と
微笑みを抱いて
永遠の輪の中昇ってゆくの

Translation

distant memories
are drawn on the water's surface
on the jade waves they float

into the unreached depths
my body
sags and sinks and sways and falls

the dreams i saw before i was born
swam to a place
where there was nothing
and yet it brimmed with everything
was it a shore woven by light?

will those warm eyelids open
or are they only there
to stay closed

the dreams i saw before i was born
arrived at a time
where the curtains of gloom
were gently drawn apart
was it the day
i met you?

before i am born and even after i die
dreams will continue
embracing that unforgettable
voice and smile
i will rise in the ring of eternity
