Halp! Fluent Japanese speaker needed!

Okay, so, this has been driving me mad. There is a Len Kagamine song titled 'Scarlet' on youtube, only I'm pretty sure that's not the actual title and I've never been able to find the lyrics. Can somebody help me find what this song is or at least tell me what it's about?! I will reward you with more drama from amael_elen and I! D=

Guh! I can't read that or access the link on my phone. Any chance of getting the first couple of lines in Romanji(sp?)?

Sure! You may want to ignore the quick translation, x.

Mabuta tojite kiita, tooi kiteki
I closed my eyes and listened, (to) a distant (steam) whistle
Supika koete hashiru, akai kisha
I run and cross through Supica, (and) board a red (steam) train
Hoshi no tsubu wo tsuite, doko he mukau
I breathe out the particles of stars, where I'm headed for
Hikaru ginga itaki, tabishi owaranai
I embrace the glittering Milky Way, this journey will never end

Here's a bit more of it (directly after the section I previously romanized):

Ehon no sekai, shinjiteta koro, nanimo kowakunakatta
When I believed in a world of picture-books, I wasn't afraid of anything
(Orgel) no shirabe ni, kurumarete nemuru
I sleep, wrapped up in the melody(/tune) of the music box

Sukaaretto, asayake ga akai kisha wo todomeru
Scarlett, the morning glow(/sunrise colours) stops the red train
Kimi no shindai ga teshaeki
Your berth(/bed/couch) is this (station's) stop
Soshite yume wa itsunomanika tokete mesamereba soko wa
And if, before I know it, my dream dissolves and I wake up, there is...
Sukaaretto, asayake ga akai machi wo tsutsumu
Scarlett, a red town engulfed by the morning glow
Atarashii hi ga hajimaru yo
A new day is beginning!
Dakara ima wa yume ni oyasumi
So now, I say Goodnight in my dreams.


*** Remember, I'm not fluent! So, these may not be accurate lyrics.

>w<; Really, you have no idea how long that song has been annoying me for.

The romaji will not be perfect, I'm using a romanizer xD

mabutato jite kiita toho i kiteki
supitako e te bashiru aka ikisha ni noru

Haven't been able to find the good lyrics. Maybe you could ask in [livejournal.com profile] vocaloid? o.o
