Cocco – ウナイ lyrics English translation

(Verse 1)
A reaching hand finds nothing in the air,
Yet still you walk ahead, unsteady but aware.
A dolphin from your ear glimpsed the vast sea,
And now its tide is flowing into me.

(Chorus)
A forest vast enough to swallow me whole,
And stars that tumble, shattered, yet they glow.
I held you close, your gentle breast I’d keep,
Until you drifted softly into sleep.

(Verse 2)
The cigarette ash falls—it’s time to leave behind,
A dream upon a pink elephant you’ll find.
The fading night, a dancer’s fading sound,
A breeze that died without a trace around.
Enough to lose yourself in morning mist,
Look to the sky—remember what you’ve missed.
Come back here…

(Chorus)
A forest vast enough to swallow me whole,
And stars that tumble, shattered, yet they glow.
I held you close, your gentle breast I’d keep,
Until you drifted softly into sleep.

(Outro)
Come back here…
