    exsuscitō
    sed lūx non accendit
    iam somniō
    
    I wake myself up
    But the light does not turn on
    Still inside the dream
    

    Note: in the Latin version I’m only counting two morae per syllable for the long vowels, not for the codas. (Japanese barely uses coda, if I do it here the verses get too long.) The English version disregards syllable weight.
