これは愛の歌 置き去りにされた声
あなたの中へ 深くくい込み叫ぶ
たゆたう流れ その中で旅をした
踏みつけた時は 砂時計から落ちた
これは愛の歌 遥か遠くの音色
前を見ればただ 月へ向かう細道
Neo Flower Moon Neo Flower Moon
Neo Flower Moon Neo Flower Moon…
闇の中、人形使い達は薄笑いを浮かべてる
知られざる扉の向こう側へあなたを誘い招くよ
光だけ心にいだきながら、闇の奥へ分け入ろう
そう、それはあなたが全てを捨て輝く時に始まる
忘却の彼方 虚しいため息達
彼等は歌い 天に手をさし向ける
高らかに歌え 破裂しかけた歌を
狂おしく歌え 破裂し終えた歌を
Neo Flower Moon Neo Flower Moon
Neo Flower Moon Neo Flower Moon…
Neo Flower Moon Neo Flower Moon
Neo Flower Moon Neo Flower Moon…
Slowly, Quickly, Dream was woven
闇の中、人形使い達は薄笑いを浮かべてる
知られざる扉の向こう側へあなたを誘い招くよ
光だけ心にいだきながら、闇の奥へ分け入ろう
そう、それはあなたが全てを捨て輝く時に始まる

This is a love song, a voice left behind
Digging deep into you, screaming
Gone on a journey in the fickle flow
Stepping on it, I fell from the hourglass
This is a love song, a faraway resonance in the distance
Looking ahead lies only a narrow path to the moon
Neo Flower Moon Neo Flower Moon
Neo Flower Moon Neo Flower Moon…
In the darkness, thin smiles spread on the puppeteers’ faces
As they beckon you to the other side of the unknown door
Holding only light in our hearts, let’s make our way into the depths of darkness
That’s right, it’s time for you to leave everything behind and shine
Beyond oblivion, a collective of empty sighs
Hands raised towards the heavens, they sing
Sing it loud, this song on the verge of rupturing
Sing with mad fervour, this song now in shreds
Neo Flower Moon Neo Flower Moon
Neo Flower Moon Neo Flower Moon…
Neo Flower Moon Neo Flower Moon
Neo Flower Moon Neo Flower Moon…
Slowly, Quickly, Dream was woven
In the darkness, thin smiles spread on the puppeteers’ faces
As they beckon you to the other side of the unknown door
Holding only light in our hearts, let’s make our way into the depths of darkness
That’s right, it’s time for you to leave everything behind and shine
Notes:
Written in 1986, this is a fresh recording of one of Der Zibet’s most popular songs they had at debut. It was often performed live in the 1980s but remained unrecorded the release of this album.
¹ The word いだき (idaki) appears to be an alternate reading of either 抱く(normally read as “daku”) or 懐く (normally read as “natsuku”). The fact that no kanji was used for this particular phrasing made it clear that it wasn’t meant to hold the conventional meaning of 抱く; to hug, or 懐く; to become emotionally attached or feel nostalgia for. Rather, it was to point specifically to the archaic definition of “to hold in one’s heart”.
