Translator notes:

(↑↓) these verses were inverted from the original order for the translation sound better in English.

Parts in italics are adaptations.

I’ve found the lyrics as 記憶(kioku) but he sings 眠り(nemuri)

I adapted lots of things and I want to explain some of it:

- There is a part that I adapted as "I removed the watch strap", but in the literal sense it is more like "I removed the time hoop/binding (maybe ring?)". As he says at the beginning of the song, he's telling the story of a betrayal, so by that he might mean a few things 1) as I translated, that he was taking off his watch (because he didn't want to worry about the time to go home (to go back to someone) 2) something like removing the barriers that prevent him from doing what he wants, understanding “hoop of time” as anything that holds him at a specific moment (it can be metaphorical, like getting rid of moral and cross the line to commit a betrayal, or literal, such as remove a wedding ring, or anything that symbolizes it).

- When he sings yura yura yura yura yura yura, I put “hovering” for lack of a better word… in Japanese, yura yura expresses movement, the dictionary shows “swaying; swinging; rocking; shaking; wavering; flickering, etc”. When he sings “yura yura”, I think it's cool to create the mental image of colorful flower petals he quotes before hovering in the wind, or something like that. (I think it can also be associated with the feeling of butterflies in the stomach, by the context, but now it is my invention lol).

- Finally, I need to talk about the part

お気に召したら淡い夢を見て

oki ni meshi tara awai yume wo mite

If you prefer a light dream

お気の済むまで溺れていて

oki ni sumu made oborete ite

sink to the end of your mind

“お気に召す” (okini mesu), written like that, appears in the dictionary as “to like; to prefer; to be pleased by​” so I think the top verse is very close to the literal.

But in the second verse the “oki” comes alone, and appears in the dictionary as “favorite; favourite; pet (e.g. teacher's pet)​" If I were to use the same logic I used on the top verse would go something like “sink to the end of your favorite” (???) so I separated 気 (ki) from everything (気 can mean “mind, spirit, heart, nature, etc”) and it was as you saw, but I don't know if that makes sense (???)
