We’ve begun our dance, this LAST NUMBER
With shattered glass shards, la la reflecting ESCAPE
MOONLIGHT ESCAPE
Dear lord, oh, please
Forgive me, won’t you ESCAPE
MOONLIGHT ESCAPE

Wrapping my cloak around me GOOD NIGHT
Into a dream within dreams
Away I fly¹

Holding close this overflowing love
I ESCAPE
To a world where there’s no sadness
Into eternity ESCAPE
Away I fly

This is a solo expedition
Before dawn breaks, I ESCAPE
MOONLIGHT ESCAPE
Papa, Mama, goodnight to you
Don’t forget about me when I ESCAPE
MOONLIGHT ESCAPE

Fluttering² my cloak GOOD BYE
Higher and higher
Away I fly

Holding close this overflowing love
I ESCAPE
To a world where there’s no sadness
Into eternity ESCAPE
Away I fly

Away I fly
Holding close this overflowing love
I ESCAPE
Away I fly
To a world where there’s no sadness
Into eternity ESCAPE
Away I fly
Holding close this overflowing love
I ESCAPE

 

Notes:

¹ The main definition of 舞う (mau) relates to dancing, like twirl, swirl and things like that. At the same time, 舞う is also used to refer to the flight of birds and butterflies and petals fluttering around, flying, circling overhead. For this song, I’ve decided to use the secondary definition as it ties in better with the general flow of it.

² 翻す (hirugaesu) typically means to flip something over to its reverse/other side. It also describes something waving or fluttering in the wind. It is, once again, this second definition I’m going with.
