Led by something, I walked into the middle of the forest
Mysteriously I was drawn
I reached a small old hut
and was attracted to the pierrot lying down on the floor, covered with dust
The puppet looked so sad, yet with a happy face he said "take me to the mansion"
with tears I hugged him
We climbed the stairs and came face to face with a glowing puppet of a young girl waiting for him
because it's a beautiful night... because it's a sad night I will smile gently and watch over them
because it's a lonely night... because it's the last night I will never leave the two from now on
Moonlight projects the two dancing, the shapes reflected on the wall are in a manner before rebirth
the two looking at each other murmur "it's the last night"
They dance with burning emotion till the day breaks
because it's a beautiful night... because it's a sad night
I will watch over them without crying
because it's a lonely night... because it's the last night I will watch over the two from now on
because it's a beautiful night...
because it's a beautiful night... because it's a sad night I will smile gently and watch over them
because it's a lonely night... because it's the last night I will never leave the two from now on...
I will never forget...
I will never forget the two...
I think this song has some beautiful imagery in it, the story of a lonely man reuniting two spirits who loved one another. I think the dolls are simply vehicles for the spirits of forbidden lovers. The narrator feels that by helping the two lovers, he has made up for the sadness and loneliness he feels in his own heart and that watching them dance together has brought him some joy even though he is sad (I will watch over them without crying.)
