The scenes I never wanted to forget faded away;
Me, when I was young, sitting atop a low hill.
Like humming that never quite becomes a song…
Like whistling that makes no sound…
…it faded away.
So lightly,
It pulls at my chest.
I want to take hold of it…
It won’t let go of my mind,
But I still can’t remember…
It won’t let go – I’m led astray yet again…
…by this faint melody.
Thinking that I don’t want to forget you,
I got the feeling,
That something might begin.
Slowly,
Prying open that lock,
I want to pull it out into the open!
But I can’t reach –
I still can’t make my way to you.
I can’t reach – the closer I get, the farther away you become.
How long have I been walking?
I still can’t reach you.
Taking me as its prisoner, then leaving me behind,
Is this soundless melody.
It fades away –
I want to take hold of it!
But I can’t reach –
I still can’t make my way to you.
I can’t reach – the closer I get, the farther away you become.
How long have I been walking?
I still can’t reach you.
It takes me as its prisoner, then leaves me behind…
It won’t let go of my mind, but I still can’t remember…
It won’t let go – I’m led astray yet again…
…by this faint melody.
