ラララ　愛し合う¹エレメント

Lalala　An element of love¹
You are instinctual
Lalala　An element dancing in the storm
You are resistance

SOPHIA DREAM　In the sky²
Lucy and I　Diamonds
SOPHIA DREAM　Ultramarine
Lucy and I　Watching the world

Lalala　An element falling dark³
You are aloof
Lalala　An element coming to life
You are unyielding

SOPHIA DREAM　In the sky²
Lucy and I　Diamonds
SOPHIA DREAM　Ultramarine
Lucy and I　Watching the world

Lalala　An element of beginnings
You are hope
Lalala　An element of endings
You are hope

SOPHIA DREAM　In the sky²
Lucy and I　Diamonds
SOPHIA DREAM　In the sky
Lucy and I　Look, we’re flying

Notes:

¹ 愛し合う (aishi au) is actually defined as “to love one another” or “to be affectionate towards each other”. The other definition is “to make love”.

² 空の上 (sora no ue) is supposed to mean “above the sky”, i.e. stratosphere or something. But I kept the line as “In the sky” with reference to Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds.

³ 闇をゆく (yami o yuku) literally means “to go into the darkness”.

Comments:

Based on Imai’s interview in FT097:
This song actually relates to Julia Dream by Pink Floyd.
During post-DIQ2019 drinks, someone who once looked after the band suggested that Imai should do a song like that with Sakurai and feature both their voices as a duet.
He also said that Lucy doesn’t actually refer to anything or anyone in particular. The name just happened to pop up in his head.
