Dream
Whispers of Slumber: Unveiling the Dream's Embrace
Lyrics
The dream outside is asking
The dream outside is inquiring.
Whether the child is in bed yet
Checking if the child is in bed.
Whether he's wrapped in the blankets
Ensuring the child is covered in blankets.
The child is already in bed
Confirmed, the child is already in bed.
He is lying in the blankets
The child lies under the blankets.
But he cannot fall asleep
Despite being in bed, the child can't fall asleep.
Dream, travel to him from outside
A call for a dream to approach from the outside.
Weave up the the eyelids of the child
Instructing the dream to gently cover the child's eyes.
Weave them with your golden yarn
Using a metaphor of golden yarn to weave the dream.
Dream, appear from above the oven
Directing the dream to manifest from above the oven.
Shoot the child on the eyelids
Instructing the dream to touch the child's eyelids.
Shoot him with your drowsy arrow
Using a metaphor of a drowsy arrow for the dream's effect.
Come from the huts of the Underworld
Calling the dream from the mysterious Underworld.
Come as a silent guide
Describing the dream as a silent guide.
Don't you worry, little child
Reassuring the child not to worry.
Leave cares to the one who cares
Suggesting the child leaves concerns to those who handle them.
Worries to the one who worries
Encouraging the child to let go of worries.
Knowledge to the one who knows
Assigning responsibilities to those who can handle them.
Sleep does not come from outside
Highlighting that sleep doesn't come from external factors.
In the room of the cautious one
Referencing the cautious one's room where sleep resides.
Dream, mount a ewe and ride
Instructing the dream to ride a ewe.
Dream, travel by a calm sheep
Encouraging the dream to travel on a calm sheep.
Let a blue-eyed horse carry you
Imagining a blue-eyed horse guiding the dream.
Show him the way to the dreamland
Instructing the dream to show the way to the dreamland.
Bring the Invisible a dream
Directing the dream to bring a dream to the Invisible.
Dream, appear now from outside
Reiterating the call for the dream to appear from the outside.
Come through under the windows
Instructing the dream to come through under the windows.
Bind up the eyelids of the child
Repeating the instruction to cover the child's eyelids.
Bind them with your silken bond
Using a metaphor of a silken bond to secure the dream.
Then the little one fell sleep
Describing the child falling asleep after the dream's intervention.
The golden yarn calmed his eyes
Expressing the calming effect of the golden yarn on the child's eyes.
