"Unknown Mother-Goose" is a song by wowaka featuring Hatsune Miku V4X. Made for the Hatsune Miku 10th Anniversary compilation album Re:Start, it is his newest work featuring VOCALOID since "Unhappy Refrain" (2011) and follows a six-year absence. It entered the Hall of Fame shortly after its upload, and about two months later, it entered the Hall of Legend. In April 2023, the song entered the Hall of Myths.

This song is featured on the mini album ai/SOlate by Hitorie.

This was wowaka's last Vocaloid song released before his death in 2019.

Lyrics[]

Japanese (日本語歌詞) Romaji (ローマ字)
あたしが愛を語るのなら 

その眼には如何、映像る?

atashi ga ai o kataru no nara 

sono me ni wa dou, utsuru?

詞は有り余るばかり 

無垢の音が流れてく

kotoba wa ari amaru bakari 

muku no ne ga nagareteku

あなたが愛に塗れるまで その色は幻だ anata ga ai ni mamireru made sono iro wa maboroshi da
ひとりぼっち、音に呑まれれば 全世界共通の快楽さ hitoribocchi, oto ni nomarereba zensekai kyoutsuu no kairaku sa

つまらない茫然に溺れる暮らし 誰もが彼をなぞる tsumaranai bouzen ni oboreru kurashi dare mo ga kare o nazoru
繰り返す使い回しの歌に また耳を塞いだ kurikaesu tsukai mawashi no uta ni mata mimi o fusaida
あなたが愛を語るのなら それを答とするの? anata ga ai wo kataru no nara sore o kotae to suru no?
目をつぶったふりをしてるなら この曲で醒ましてくれ! me wo tsubutta furi o shiteru nara kono kyoku de samashitekure!

誰も知らぬ物語 思うばかり dare mo shiranu monogatari omou bakari
壊れそうなくらいに 抱き締めて泣き踊った kowaresou na kurai ni dakishimete naki odotta
見境無い感情論 許されるのならば misakai nai kanjouron yurusareru no naraba
泣き出すことすらできないまま 呑み込んでった nakidasu koto sura dekinai mama nomikondetta
張り裂けてしまいそうな心があるってこと、 harisaketeshimaisou na kokoro ga aru tte koto,
叫ばせて! sakebasete!

世界があたしを拒んでも 今、愛の唄 歌わせてくれないかな sekai ga atashi o kobande mo ima, ai no uta utawasetekurenai kana
もう一回 誰も知らないその想い mou ikkai dare mo shiranai sono omoi
この声に預けてみてもいいかな kono koe ni azuketemite mo ii kana
あなたには僕が見えるか? anata ni wa boku ga mieru ka?
あなたには僕が見えるか? anata ni wa boku ga mieru ka?
ガラクタばかり 投げつけられてきたその背中 garakuta bakari nagetsukeraretekita sono senaka
それでも好きと言えたなら sore de mo suki to ieta nara
それでも好きを願えたら sore de mo suki wo negaetara
ああ、あたしの全部に その意味はあると―― aa, atashi no zenbu ni sono imi wa aru to――

ねえ、愛を語るのなら 今その胸には誰がいる nee, ai o kataru no nara ima sono mune ni wa dare ga iru
こころのはこを抉じ開けて さあ、生き写しのあなた見せて? kokoro no hako o kojiakete saa, ikiutsushi no anata misete?
あたしが愛になれるのなら 今その色は何色だ atashi ga ai ni nareru no nara ima sono iro wa naniiro da
孤独なんて記号では収まらない 心臓を抱えて生きてきたんだ! kodoku nante kigou de wa osamaranai shinzou o kakaete ikitekita n da!

ドッペルもどきが 其処いらに溢れた dopperu modoki ga sokoira ni afureta
挙句の果ての今日 ageku no hate no kyou
ライラ ライ ライ raira rai rai
心失きそれを 生み出した奴等は kokoronaki sore o umidashita yatsura wa
見切りをつけてもう mikiri o tsukete mou
バイ ババイ バイ bai babai bai
残されたあなたが この場所で今でも nokosareta anata ga kono basho de ima de mo
涙を堪えてるの namida wo kotaeteru no
如何して、如何して doushite, doushite
あたしは知ってるわ atashi wa shitteru wa
この場所はいつでも kono basho wa itsu de mo
あなたに守られてきたってこと! anata ni mamoraretekita tte koto!

痛みなどあまりにも慣れてしまった itami nado amari ni mo nareteshimatta
何千回と巡らせ続けた 喜怒と哀楽 nanzenkai to megurasetsuzuketa kido to airaku
失えない喜びが この世界にあるならば ushinaenai yorokobi ga kono sekai ni aru naraba
手放すことすら出来ない哀しみさえ あたしは tebanasu koto sura dekinai kanashimi sae atashi wa
この心の中つまはじきにしてしまうのか? kono kokoro no naka tsumahajiki ni shite shimau no ka?
それは、いやだ! sore wa, iya da!

どうやって この世界を愛せるかな douyatte kono sekai o aiseru ka na
いつだって 転がり続けるんだろう itsu datte korogaritsuzukeru n darou
ねえ、いっそ nee, isso
誰も気附かないその想い dare mo kizukanai sono omoi
この唄で明かしてみようと思うんだよ kono uta de akashitemiyou to omou n da yo
あなたなら何を願うか anata nara nani o negau ka
あなたなら何を望むか anata nara nani o nozomu ka
軋んだ心が 誰より今を生きているの kishinda kokoro ga dare yori ima o ikiteiru no
あなたには僕が見えるか? anata ni wa boku ga mieru ka?
あなたには僕が見えるか? anata ni wa boku ga mieru ka?
それ、あたしの行く末を照らす灯なんだろう? sore, atashi no yuku sue o terasu akari na n darou?

ねえ、あいをさけぶのなら nee, ai o sakebu no nara
あたしはここにいるよ atashi wa koko ni iru yo
ことばがありあまれどなお、 kotoba ga ari amaredo nao,
このゆめはつづいてく kono yume wa tsuzuiteku
あたしがあいをかたるのなら atashi ga ai o kataru no nara
そのすべてはこのうただ sono subete wa kono uta da
だれもしらないこのものがたり dare mo shiranai kono monogatari
またくちずさんでしまったみたいだ mata kuchizusandeshimatta mitai da
