hiki tsutta fuku   genbaku arama
niji no fumotto   makura ga wari
utsumuita mama   yume wo mireba
komori uta wo tsubuyaita

shime kitta heya   hari sakeru oto
daremo shiranai    shiawase
toori sugiteitta hitotachi no
omoide wo atsumeteita

Long Long Time   yume no naka
Long Long Time   shinjiteta
nanimo shiranai kamisama no koto
Long Long Time
Long Long Time

sumikitta sora   ushiro sagata de
bonyari nagame   muga no kyouchi
heiwa shugisha no hitori koto wo
kizu tsuketakunai dake sa

Long Long Time yume no naka
Long Long Time shinjiteta
nanimo iwanai kamisama no koto
Just Long Long Time
Long Long Time   Long Long Time

kyou mo semakurashii michi hitori de aruite
tada hitasuru baka ni sarete
yuttari yuttari waraitte irarerya juubun sa
wake mo naku   natsuka shikunaru
toori kanata no   otonarisan

Long Long Time  yume no naka
Long Long Time  shinjiteta
nanimo iranai kamisama no koto
Long Long Time
Long Long Time

Long Long Time
translation by Alinda Sue…

Successfully dressed    Atomic bomb head
Your pillow is like the base of a rainbow
You continued to look down, as if a dream you would see
A babysitter’s song was muttered

Closed up in your room, you burst open with sound
No one knows   Happiness
As you collect memories of
People you wanted to pass on the road

Long Long Time   within a dream
Long Long Time   you believed
The things of god which nothing is known
Long Long Time
Long Long Time

Perfectly clear sky, you view someone from behind
You dimly see   a selfless state
A pacifist speaking to himself
So as not to add to the pain

Long Long Time   within a dream
Long Long Time   you believed
The things of god which nothing is said
Long Long Time
Long Long Time

Today also a single person walks a cramped road
But he’s intent on merely making a fool of himself
Calmly, calmly with plenty of laughter
A far away down yonder neighbor

Long Long Time   within a dream
Long Long Time   you believed
The things of god which nothing is needed
Long Long Time
Long Long Time
Long Long Time
