So I'm having trouble translating these lyrics (Sorry they aren't in Japanese.
The romaji was all I could find, and I was worried about converting it to
Japanese, in case I messed something up.)

Yawarakaku atatakaku te

Omoidasenai sukoshi amai nioi...

Nukeochi ta no wa nani

Modoshite ittai nani no hanashi

This is what I could make out of it: Tenderly, warmly... there's a little I
can't remember, a sweet fragrance...

My translation of this seemed disjoint, but I thought, perhaps, because the
speaker can't remember, it's supposed to be like that? However, I'm unsure
about that, so I thought I'd see what all of you thought.

For the next two lines, I have trouble with how 何 is used. My best guess for
the next two lines would be: "What has collapsed/fallen out? A story of what
returns." I'm unsure if these lines are questions or not, and generally just
how 何 is being used in both of those situations.

The song is called Samayoeba Yumeutsutsu, by the way. Thank you for your help!

question
translation
Use of 何 in these sentences; please help with translating!
Song lyrics, just like in English tend to not be the most grammatically
correct due to prioritizing making them sound good and rhyme.

Some details seems to be lacking to make an exact translation, but here is how
I would translate it.

Yawarakaku atatakaku te

> Soft and warm,

Omoidasenai sukoshi amai nioi...

> The somewhat sweet fragrance that I cannot remember...

Nukeochita no wa nani

> The thing that fell apart, what(何) is it?

Modoshite ittai nani no hanashi

> Put it back together... What(何) is this about?

Full lyrics [here](http://karent.jp/album/1709/lyric/5) (click 5. 彷徨えば夢現):

> 深い眠りから覚めたような  
>  夢のような  
>  柔らかく温かくて  
>  思い出せない少し甘い匂い
>
> 抜け落ちたのは何  
>  戻して  
>  一体何の話

It's not always practical to split lyrics into "sentences", but in this case I
feel the first four lines form one long noun phrase. In other words,
everything before 匂い modifies 匂い, because everything before it is in its
continuative or attributive form. So it's fragrant which seems as if you woke
up from deep sleep, and is dreamy, soft, warm, vague, and a bit sweet at the
same time.

On the other hand, the next three lines look like three independent
"sentences" to me. "What is it that has fallen off?", "Take back!" and "What
are you talking about?"

If you feel the word order of 抜け落ちたのは何 is strange, please read
[this](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/a/19208/5010). It's an emphatic
version of 何が抜け落ちた？
