夢を見るため僕らは夢の無い世界を望んだ

[LewiiG]

I am kind of unsure about this sentence.


*Edit*
It's "For the sake of dreaming/having a dream we desired a world without dreams" or something right?

This used to have a lot more to it. Until I realized that it was the attributive の. Still, I would like to know if the translation is right, just so I didn't make a completely pointless thread, and it doesn't really make sense anyway. This is a random line out of a song I chose because I understood all the words. So there is probably context stuff I am missing which is most likely why it doesn't make sense.

And also, what does 無い世界 mean? Because I just found it on it's own shortly after this line.
*Edit end*

よろしくお願いします

The translation is correct, but の is a subject marker here.

It happened again. Overlapping edits, I am such a fool, sorry. But thanks Toritoribe. Anything about a 無い世界?

 

[Toritoribe]

世界には夢がない
There is no dream in the world.

夢のない世界（＝ 夢がない世界）
the/a world where dreams don't exist

Indeed. Thanks. I found out that it was 奇跡も何も無い世界 anyway.

1. Does that mean "a empty world without even miracles"? Or " a world with nothing even miracles"? And is this emphasizing that there are no miracles?

2. Would you have any idea as to how "for the sake of dreaming we desired a world without dreams" is supposed to make sense? It seems to be the most contradictory sentence ever. How can you dream in a world without them?

 

[Toritoribe]

1)
～も何も無い is an idiom, meaning "There is nothing including ~ / There is no ~ or anything else", and yes, it's for emphasizing.

2)
There is no dream in the world, so we can dream. It's a poem/lyrics.

Okay, I get it now. Thank you very much Toritoribe
