Merry-Go-Round

by Tatsuro Yamashita

[romaji transcription and English translation available below]

真夜中の遊園地に
君と二人で
そっと忍び込んで行った
錆び付いた金網を乗り越え
駆け出すと　いつも月が昇ってきた

心は粉々に砕かれ
失くしてしまった
幻のMerry-go-round
愛さえ


亜麻色の月明の下で
僕たちは (spin, spin, spin)
笑いながら愛し合った
色褪せた水玉のベンチは
滅び行く時の匂い　しみついていた

きっと生まれ変わる　今なら
(Merry-go-round)
もう一度だけ
動き出せ　Merry-go-round
目を覚ませ　ユニコーン！

Merry-go-round
Round and round
Merry-go-round

きっと生まれ変わる　今なら
(Merry-go-round)
もう一度だけ
動き出せ　Merry-go-round
目を覚ませ　ユニコーン！

Merry-go-round
Round and round
Merry-go-round

[English translation]

At midnight, into an amusement park
You and I
Sneak in quietly
Climbing over the rusty wired fence
We start to run
And the moon always rises

My heart shatters into pieces
(Merry-go-round)
I've lost it
The illusory Merry-go-round
And even love

Under the flax moonlight (spin, spin, spin)
With a smile on our faces, we love each other. (spin, spin, spin)
The faded polka-dotted bench
The smell of times of destruction
Has stuck with me

This will be a new start right now
(Merry-go-round)
Just once more
Start moving merry-go-round
Wake up the unicorn!

Merry-go-round
Round and round
Merry-go-round

This will be a new start right now
(Merry-go-round)
Just once more
Start moving merry-go-round
Wake up the unicorn!

Merry-go-round
Round and round
Merry-go-round
