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.
