| This song was featured on NHK's music/animation short program "minna no uta". Aldebaran is the brightest star in the constellation Tauraus and one of the brightest stars in the nighttime sky. |
I had a dream that was sort of strange
I was an astronaut and you were a peasant
Having been sent a straw hat
I flew away energetically
The blue of the sky, the importance of it, the endlessness of time
The distance of the earth
The faint hum of a computer...
The scent of the tomatoes that you were growing
The ion pulse is doing fine
That request plays on space radio today too
Aldebaran shines
The constellations are this excited
A canal of stars, the migratory birds that are the comets
The shadows of a desert
The sheep that are the flocks of asteroids...
Your T-shirt smells of lettuce
I had a dream that was sort of wonderful
I was an astronaut and you were a peasant
Diving into your suntanned arm
Enveloped by the pea green wind
La La La La La La...
Your souvenir is a piece of Mars
It's not much, but it's a piece of space
