song: Hora/ lyrics: Kaya

A gentle wind blows in the beckoning night
Silently it opens the window and calls me forth

 

Yasashii kaze ga temaneku yoru ni wa
shizuka ni mado o akete watashi o yonde

So you don't have bad dreams
So you aren't scared by the dark
I shall sing you to sleep

 

warui yume o minai you ni
yami ni obienai you ni
utatte ageru nemuru made

There's nothing to be afraid of
Nobody will cause you pain
Lovengly, peacefully goodnight

 

kowai koto wa nani mo nai
kizutsukeru mono mo inai
amaku yasuraka ni onemuri

I shall embrace your pain
Steal you and your past to me
So don't go away, by my side forever stay
Live inside this peaceful dream

 


anata no itami o dakishimete ageru
anata o kakogoto ubatte ageru
doko ni mo ikazu ni zutto soba ni ite
odayaka na yume no naka ikite


Let's tightly close all the windows
And gently turn all the keys

 

subete no mado o kataku tozashimashou
subete no doa ni sotto kagi o kakete

Outside the window the maddened throng files by
We hold each other in sleep


 

mado no soto de ki no kureta gunshuu ga koushin shite iru
watashi tachi wa dakiatte nemuru

I'll entwine the the world behind the monitor
in lies of rosen hue
And hear only your heartbeat

 


monita-goshi no sekai o barairo no uso de kasari
anata no koudou dake o kiku no

dozing in the break of day
We melt together and sleep
Your kisses
Counting the beats
Welcoming the child home amidst my sheets
No longer do I need to see

 


yoake ni madoromi
tokeatte nemuru
anata no kuchizuke
koudou o kazoe
watashi no shitone de kodomo ni okaeri
mou nani mo minakute ii




When I first heard this song I thought it might be about the gay babylings...but it's not. Btw wouldn't it be funny if that's what the Kyojin from Shingeki no Kyojin turned out to be? And like, to survive humanity had to be Fabulous lol I'm pretty sure they're not tho.

Also, randomly, when I first heard the song, I heard "shitone" (bed) as "shiko ne"...shiko is that thing sumo wrestlers do where they stamp their feet before a match. Imagining the lyrics as "Watashi no shiko de kodomo ni okaeri" {My dusukoi bring the kids to the crib!) was nice. Yes indeed. Again, I'm pretty sure that not it tho.

Anyway, Lilith is from various legends of old and I htink the child and seeing things bit is from one of them. She's also associated with the night.
