[do it again] lyrics

Once again, thanks to txjxf for the raw Japanese lyrics!!

Clarification: The raw lyrics are from recochoku's mobile lyrics site, so they're official.

These lyrics are quite cryptic, so I'm not sure if I caught the essence of it. Will be glad if anyone can help decipher this~ Otherwise, enjoy!!

君がいつかに描いた
夢をまだ覚えてるかな

その夢は今どこにあって
どんなカタチをしているかな

悲しいのは諦める事
それは今も同じ事ね

だけどそれだけじゃない事
増えていくのも現実で

夢だけじゃ...
夢だけが...

それは君の心ふっと
温めてくれるのかな

それは君の心ぎゅっと
締め付けてしまうのかな

手放すのも勇気な事
大人になって知る事ね

だけど簡単じゃない事
思い知るのがこの頃で

君は今...
何想う...

Do you still remember
The dream which you described that day?

Where is that dream now?
What shape has it taken?

"What's sad is giving up"
That hasn't changed one bit

But that is not the only thing
That has increased in this reality,

Just a dream...
Dreams are just...

(dance dance dance

(sing sing sing

Does that warm your heart
Suddenly?

Does that tighten your heart
Strongly?

"Letting go is also courage"
That is something we know as we become adults

But it isn't easy to do
At this time, I've realized that it's

What would the you now...
Think about this...

I'd like to offer my translation, just so you can add or correct your translation, Misa~

(dance dance dance

(sing sing sing

Do you still remember the dream
Which you drew one day?

Where is that dream now,
And what shape has it taken?

"What's sad is giving up" (She uses almost exactly the lyrics from Naturally)
That's also true now.

But, in reality, Things that are not only that
Have begun to multiply, (It's terribly confusing to translate in English)

And with just dreams...
Just dreams...

(dance dance dance
do it again) x4

(sing sing sing
do it again) x4

Does that warm your heart
Suddenly?

Does that tighten around your heart
Strongly?

"Releasing something is also courage"
Is something that is known after becoming an adult.

But I am reminded at this time
That it's not easy, And...

What would you
Think right now?

(dance dance dance

It sounds sort of like she's singing to herself, does anyone else think so?

I like that she referenced back to Naturally's lyrics (kanashii no wa akiramete shimau koto da to)

@maikaru, thanks lots!! I've looked through your translation and corrected some parts of mine. What really puzzles me is these lines

夢だけじゃ...
夢だけが...

I feel that the way its written in Japanese somehow links to the lines directly before and after it, but I can't seem to replicate that in English...
