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

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
