忘れかけた夢 [Wasurekaketa Yume] [English translation]

It’s late at night, I’m painting my nails red

I gaze into the mirror

I should be tired from work

But I won’t be sleeping tonight either

What does it mean to be true to yourself?

Only time will tell

Why not pursue that forgotten little dream

Just give it one more try

That cherished dream I had as a child

Why not believe that it will come true

Tonight, the stars look really lovely

I notice them for the first time

All my worries of late

Have been driving me to distraction

Once in a while, I feel fine, even on such a night

I'm slowly considering

Pursing that forgotten dream

Just giving it one more try

If I could work this out, start a new life

Dreams come true if you believe in them

I´ll pursue that forgotten little dream

Just give it one more try

That cherished dream I had as a child

I´ll believe that it will come true
