This is a static copy of In the Rose Garden, which existed as the center of the western Utena fandom for years. Enjoy. :)
Well, this English version took me three translations and four years to complete. PLEASE DON'T KILL ME. I really enjoyed writing this and it got me fifteen bucks singing in the Skyways of Minneapolis for bus money! Woot! (I was homeless at the time. I would like to see someone sue me over 15 dollars American.)
MISSING TRUTH & FOREVER
KISSING LOVE & TRUE YOUR HEART
Won't you embrace me with your arms so truthful?
The key to open tomorrow is our reality
I want to keep on destroying the lies...
Even if we should keep on talking endlessly
I still won't see a single thing from your side
Such an annoying boy-he only wants to understand me
-but I only want him to misunderstand
Excuses are suited only to the adults
who still cling to age old children's fairy tales
Unchosen angels, not unlike ourselves, even have no need for Heaven's wings
MISSING TRUTH & FOREVER
KISSING LOVE & TRUE YOUR HEART
I believe that I'll love myself in the morning
and because I do believe, even if I just want to believe
I want to be hated by all of the lies...
Thinking of it now, oh this precious memory
makes me warm when I'm by myself, all alone
I know just what I want-I can see it in my hand
...but oh, you just can't see it yet
There's no need to cry over somebody's sighs
Tears will only slow a better tomorrow down
Even a strange fever dream on a dark windy night is something that is precious to me
MISSING TRUTH & FOREVER
KISSING LOVE & TRUE YOUR HEART
Like a child in the middle of the night
I will stop my selfish tear and start pounding on a DOOR
Looking for some kind of love...
(MISSING TRUTH & FOREVER)

ashita wo hiraku kagi wa reality
uso wo kowashitsudzuketai...
