Paprika: My biggest challenge in this work: I wrote lyrics for the first time in my life. It’s the second track of Shoujo Rengoku 4, “Shizuku”, a Wakasagihime song. I costantly thought about the princess for a while. I realized writing lyrics is hard.

Lyrics

ああ私のかけら差し出すことも出来るの
もう叶わぬ夢なら沈めて眠る
aa watashi no kakera sashidasu koto mo dekiru no
mou kanawanu yume nara shizumete nemuru

水泡のような石を見つけて
泣いてるような月にかざすの
minawa no you na ishi wo mitsukete
naiteru you na tsuki ni kazasu no

夢ばかり待ち遠し
水面ただよう
耳を澄ます
色めきたつ
愛しさ募る
yume bakari machidooshi
minamo tadayou
mimi wo sumasu
iromekitatsu
itoshisa tsunoru

ああ私の雫小瓶に入れてあげるわ
そっと傍にいれたら何もいらない
aa watashi no shizuku kobin ni irete ageru wa
sotto soba ni iretara nani mo iranai

揺れてるような星を見つめて
濡れてるような月を浴びるの
yureteru you na hoshi wo mitsumete
nureteru you na tsuki wo abiru no

夢うつつ風香る
残り香さがす
何も見えない
あなたは来ない
わかってたこと
yumeutsutsu kaze kaoru
nokoriga sagasu
nani mo mienai
anata wa konai
wakatteta koto

ああ私の破片いくつ欲しいか教えて
暗れ惑う夜でもいつかは明ける
aa watashi no hahen ikutsu hoshii ka oshiete
kuremadou yoru demo itsuka wa akeru

ああ私の雫小瓶に入れてあげるわ
そっと傍にいれたら何もいらない
ああ私のかけら差し出すことも出来るの
もう叶わぬ夢なら沈めて眠る
aa watashi no shizuku kobin ni irete ageru wa
sotto soba ni iretara nani mo iranai
aa watashi no kakera sashidasu koto mo dekiru no
mou kanawanu yume nara shizumete nemuru

Translation

Ah, I can give you a fragment of me
If this dream will never come true, I’ll sink down and sleep

I find a stone like a bubble
I hold it up to the moon like it’s weeping

I can’t wait for more dreams
Drifting on the water’s surface
I listen carefully
I’m becoming excited
My love is growing

Ah, I’ll put a drop of me in a vial for you
If you hold it close to you, you won’t need anything

I’ll stare at the stars like they’re shaking
I bathe in the moon like it’s wet

A cool light breeze in dream and reality
I’m searching for a lingering scent
I can’t see anything
You’re not coming
I knew it

Ah, tell me how many pieces of me you want
The night is dark and confusing but one day the dawn will come

Ah, I’ll put a drop of me in a vial for you
If you hold it close to you, you won’t need anything
Ah, I can give you a fragment of me
If this dream will never come true, I’ll sink down and sleep
