ハーメルン

Hamelin

Lyrics & Music: Ueda Gen
Translation: Lola


A mysterious orchestra plays from town to town
The song passes through my bedroom window unhindered
I'm sure a lot of people have gone out to meet it
Perhaps they've walked to the other towns?
Perhaps I should go too?
Take me with you, lead me away, take me with you
If I had a flute, I could play it
And bang the drum
So c'mon, teach me the song
I'm terrible at dancing
But I'll dance with all my heart
So please, teach me the steps
Of the mysterious orchestra that plays from town to town


Even a sand storm won't hold me back, I'll leave my house with my coat on
And chase after the children of the town as fast as I can
I bet they'll be laughing as always
Perhaps they'll be tossing stones in play?
Because the sad truth is something I will never speak of...
Follow me, follow me, follow me
If you have a flute, you can play it
And bang the drum
So c'mon, I'll teach you the song
Even if you're terrible at dancing
Dance with all your heart
And I'll teach you the steps

When the moon rises
We will climb that hill
And then, I'll sing that song

In this way, the children of my town have vanished, not even one remains
