ある日、男は夢を視た。蝶になる夢だ。
ひらひらと 飛んで 飛んで
あまりに自由で楽しくて
男は自分が蝶だと思った。
けれど、目覚めるとやはり男は人間で
”私は蝶になる夢を視ていたんだろうか。
それともこれも夢で
私はあの蝶が見ている夢なんだろうか。”
One day, a man had a dream.
A dream of becoming a butterfly.
Fluttering and flying and flying,
too freely enjoying himself,
the man thought he was a butterfly.
However, he woke up, and the man was not a butterfly,
of course he was human.
The man thought:
"Was I having a dream where I became a butterfly,
or is this also a dream,
and I am a dream that butterfly is having?"

Even if he´s someone you should have met,
you can´t meet him.
Even if you stretch out your hand,
you can´t touch him.
Even if he reflects in your eyes,
you can´t reach him.
Even if you´ve chosen them for yourself,
the painfull things won´t change.
Even like this...
You want to protect, right?
Once you have decided something,
you can´t resent that.
This too, is just like being blood related.
