Paprika - The girl in Byakkoya

This is one of my favorite songs in "Paprika" ^v^

--Orginal lyrics--


Tooku no sora mawaru hana no enjin no kamabisusisa ni
Ano hi ya ano hi ni koetekita bunki ga me wo samasu
Kagerou ni mi wo karite michi wo sasu musume wo oi
Takadai ni arawareta na mo shiranu hirono ha natsukashiku

Are ga yume de miseta machi to kage no koe ga sasayaita
Kuru hi mo kuru hi mo ikusen no bunki wo koeta toki
Kuragari no kennjin ga suterareta hibi wo atsume
Umi zoi ni umi zoi ni mimo shiranu honou wo odoraseta

(#)
Aa manntoru ga jozetsu ni hi wo hukiagete
Suterareta no ni tatsu hito wo iwau yo
Aa sizukana sizukana musume no shiya de
Aa mishiranu miyako ni hi ga tomori dasu

Takaku sora syu ni some hi no moeru gotoku no kumo moyou
Ano hi ya ano hi ya ano toki ni nakusita michi wo mise
Kurikaesi yume ni fuku kaze wo oi toki wo kudari
Kawa zoi ni kawa zoi ni mimo shiranu shihuku no hana wo mita

(repeat # twice)



--English Lyrics--


In the distant sky, twirling flowers form a clamorous circle.
And it wakes up the turnig point you passed through on that day, on that day.
In a form of a shimmer, you chase the girl who points the way.
Then you find a nameless and nostalgic field on a hill.

"That is the city I let you see in your dream", whispered a shadow.
Day after day , day after day, when you have passed through countless turning points,
a sage in the dimness will collect discarded days.
Along the shore, along the shore, he makes an unknown flame dance.

(#)
Ah mantle loquaciously throws up a flame
to congratulate the person who stands on the abandoned field.
Ah in the girl's silent, silent view,
Ah lights begin to shine in the unseen city.

High up in the sky, dyed in vermillion, clouds arise like a fire burning.
It shows you the way you lost on that day, on that day.
Chasing the wind blowing repeatedly in your dream, you go down the flow of time.
Along the river, along the river, you saw an unknown flower of felicity.

(repeat # twice)

Oh God, why is there an argument going on here? This is beautiful, beautiful music, bordering on spiritually transcendent. Everyone shush and enjoy.

@8x13Wolf oh, finally someone who understands~ ; v ;

[pleasesavethecrazies]

@utgfilms Everyone got diffrent taste in music :)

In my opinion, this is one of the best songs in the movie

[necrostic56]

[ISMOPANAMA]

THE SINGULARITY OF MAN & INTELLIGENCE HERE WE COME!!!

[Soloagino]

4 words are only needed for this, although now put after 13 words: I. LOVE. THIS. MOVIE.

[Emfrbl]

@evildesu correct. He also used Meiko in other projects, thats why everyone presumed for a long time Lola was used in Paprika. He cleared the air before his death.

Offically, this is the first use of Vocaloid in a movie.

[skhaanD]

love! especially the "AAAaaAaa" part, or whatever :P

[evildesu]

@MattRHale Actually the artist who made this, Susumu Hirasawa, stated he used a Vocaloid in the song, in a magazine interview he stated the woman singing is the Vocaloid Lola.

[Corvaillian]

I found myself sitting down during the entire credits just because if this song.
