User blog:Seven Heavenly Virtues/Blink – Transcription and Translation

Hello again, everyone!

Continuing with my previous posts, I'm compiling what Museum of Truisms and | Swirly came up with for Blink!

Notice this is probably not accurate, but I merged their translations, Museum's comments, and the crossfade. This leaves around two lines untranslated.

 Swirly’s translation

 It's not heard When it looks for what is not had I only now am left with this Oh rather than only I having this song I have a dream from early summer A dream from early summer There was bitterness which put us there and then

 Possible interpretation:

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal"> I’m an old, dying woman I didn’t find what I was looking for I have shrank As Small as a child Dreaming of an early Summer / Is this a dream? I can’t erase this bitter dream From my memory Is this a dream? A hellish dream?

<p class="MsoNormal"> I want you to receive A letter that must not vanish Into the wide world

<p class="MsoNormal"> […]

<p class="MsoNormal"> If I put a lot of effort Will my life move on? If become an obscene monster Will my sins be forgiven? Will I be Forgiven? The spring...

<p class="MsoNormal"> May this message Reach God and Transcend Time To the North, To the North May this message be with you Forever and ever

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal"> Life will move on

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal"> It's not heard

<p class="MsoNormal"> When it looks for what is not had

<p class="MsoNormal"> I only now am left with this Oh rather than only

<p class="MsoNormal"> I having this song I have a dream from early summer

<p class="MsoNormal"> A breath from the dream of early summer

<p class="MsoNormal"> There was bitterness which put us there and then

<p class="MsoNormal">   Or I also only have the will to sigh at the unexpected But bitter or not when to be such Not having me hide the damaged early summer

<p class="MsoNormal"> Therefore the mesa's damaged summer

<p class="MsoNormal"> Along with the hellish 'dream'

Ut may just be an "i," or another consonant entirely, but "hii" is my personal opinion
