平野義久 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
---齐豫---
There was a boy,
There was a girl
They walked in the house of dreams together
Lost in the sounds,
Freedom and happiness
They hoped the dream would last forever
He went away and the sky was falling
Dark shadow′s talking
He'll never come no more!
Never come no more!
Never hear again
The sound of the elephant′s call
He'll negver come no more!
Never com no more!
Never hear the song,
The sound of the elephant's call
There was a boy,
Just like anyone of us
He loved to sing away his sorrows
Lost in the crowd,
Ruching so madly around
He didn′t live to see tomorrow
He came when all the lights were shinning
He went away and the sky was falling
Dark shadows talking
He′ll never come no more!
Never come no more!
Never hear again
The sound of the elephant's call
He′ll negver come no more!
Never com no more!
Never hear the song,
The sound of the elephant's call
He′ll never come no more!
Never come no more!
Never hear again
The sound of the elephant's call
He′ll negver come no more!
Never com no more!
Never hear the song,
The sound of the elephant's call
He'll never come no more!
He′ll never come no more!
The lyrics of the song "Requiem" by 平野義久, sung by 齐豫, depict a tragic story of two individuals who find solace in each other's company within the realm of their shared dreams. The first verse introduces a boy and a girl who explore this house of dreams together, experiencing a sense of liberation and joy. They yearn for this dream to endure indefinitely, cherishing the sounds that accompany their harmonious existence.
However, a somber turn of events follows, as a metaphorical antagonist arrives during their period of happiness, symbolizing the cessation of their idyllic circumstances. The departure of this character initiates a series of unfortunate events, with the sky metaphorically falling. Dark shadows, representing a prevailing sense of despair, engage in conversation, indicating the irretrievable loss and subsequent silence that shrouds the singers.
The second verse further emphasizes the boy's relatable nature and his outlet for coping with his sorrows: singing. As he navigates through a chaotic and bustling crowd, he is unable to survive long enough to witness the promises of another day. The repetition of the phrase "He'll never come no more!" underscores the finality of his absence and the irreversible rupture caused by his premature departure.
Overall, "Requiem" conveys a poignant tale of dreams shattered, hopes crushed, and the silence that ensues in the aftermath of tragedy. It explores themes such as the fragility of happiness, the fleeting nature of existence, and the profound impact an individual can have on others before their untimely departure.

There was a boy,
Once upon a time, there was a young boy,
There was a girl
And there was also a young girl
They walked in the house of dreams together
They explored the realm of dreams hand in hand
Lost in the sounds,
They were captivated by the enchanting melodies
Freedom and happiness
Feeling the bliss of freedom and joy
They hoped the dream would last forever
They wished for the dream to never end
He came when all the lights were shinning
Then, a radiant figure appeared amidst the illumination
He went away and the sky was falling
But suddenly, he departed and darkness loomed overhead
Dark shadow's talking
Mysterious shadows whispered amidst the gloom
He'll never come no more!
Alas, he shall never return!
Never come no more!
Never to make his presence known again!
Never hear again
The sound of the elephant's call
Never to hear the majestic roar of the elephant ever again
He'll never come no more!
He will forever be absent!
Never com no more!
Never to grace us with his presence again!
Never hear the song,
The sound of the elephant's call
Never to listen to that melodic hymn, the elephant's call
There was a boy,
Once upon a time, there was a young boy,
Just like anyone of us
Who was just like any one of us
He loved to sing away his sorrows
He found solace in singing away his troubles
Lost in the crowd,
Ruching so madly around
Amid the chaotic crowd, he felt overwhelmed
He didn't live to see tomorrow
Tragically, he did not live to witness another day
He came when all the lights were shinning
Once again, he appeared amidst the brilliant illumination
He went away and the sky was falling
Yet, he departed, and the sky seemed to crumble
Dark shadows talking
Whispering shadows emerged once more
He'll never come no more!
Sadly, he will never return!
Never come no more!
Never to make his presence known again!
Never hear again
The sound of the elephant's call
Never to hear the majestic roar of the elephant ever again
He'll negver come no more!
He will forever be absent!
Never com no more!
Never to grace us with his presence again!
