it clears up outside and the wind blows
as always, this town is
connecting tomorrow with the past
everything that was inorganic
rusted together in the tracks
a billboard stands in solitude
you who I haven't met in such a long time
you seem so grown up, you won't even call out to (greet) me
kimi ga itsumo mochiaruita kamera wa ima doko ni aru no yume ga tsumari iroazayaka kokoro no naka utsushidasu biru no kage no gomibako mo kimi wo tooseba geijutsuhin kono machi ga kagayaita no kimi no okage kimi no sei nanda
where is the camera you always used to carry around?
in brief, my dream reflects inside of my brightly-colored heart
when the shadows of buildings and trash cans pass you by, a work of art
this town sparkled
all thanks to you, it was all your fault
愛しあえればそれでよかった
この街を出たらどうなるかなんて
伝えてもいない 伝えられないよ
そんな事を思って歩いた
in the city
aishi aereba sore de yokatta kono machi wo detara dou naru ka nante tsutaete mo inai tsutaerarenai yo sonna koto wo omotte aruita in the city
when I'm loved by (you) I'm so glad for that
if (we) leave this town what will become of (us)?
but I can't tell you those things, it can't be told
I walked, thinking of such things
in the city
クリスマスが来るのでキャロルを訳してみた。雪とかプレゼントを上げる他にたくさん物を感謝しています。メリークリスマス！Christmas is coming (my favorite holiday of the year) and I thought what better way to celebrate than to translate a Christmas carol? (romaji included because why not)
まきびとひつじを 見守るその夜、

that night when the shepherds looked after their sheep
for the first time an angel told them about noel
noel, noel, noel, noel
the Lord Jesus has been born
神の子主イエスは まずしい姿で
この世に来られて まぶねに生まれた

the Lord Jesus, son of God, in a poor, needy figure
came to this world and was born in a trough
noel, noel, noel, noel
the Lord Jesus has been born
われらもこよいは 歌声合わせて
平和をもたらす 主イエスをたたえよう。
ノエル、ノエル、ノエル、ノエル、
主イエスは生まれた。

tonight, we, too, will all join singing voices
bringing peace and harmony, we'll give praise to Lord Jesus

swaying slowly, my swaying heart, blown by the wind
swaying slowly, your swaying heart, scattered
swaying, swaying, our love goes to dance up in space
swaying, swaying, swaying like downy fluff
sakki kara kiitenai desho watashi no hanashi nee nee kiite yo soko no doonatsu ya raishuu oopun da tte aa, futari de ikou to omotteta no ni aa, tsuretette yarou to omotteta no ni naa
ever since a while ago, you haven't listened to what I say.
hey, hey, listen, it says that donut shop over there will open next week
aah, I thought we'd go together, just us two...
aah, and I thought I'd take you out somewhere...**
yurayura yurayura boku no kokoro ame ni furarete yurayura yurayura kimi no kokoro, hanare banare yurayura yurayura futari no koi wa chuu ni matteiku yurayura yurayura tabako mitai ni moeteku
swaying slowly, my swaying heart, being rained on
swaying slowly, your swaying heart, scattered
swaying, swaying, our love goes to dance up in space
swaying, swaying, burning up like tobacco
yurayura yurayura boku no kokoro, kako ni toraware yurayura yurayura kimi no kokoro, mirai ni kiete yurayura yurayura boku no kokoro yurayura yurayura kimi no kokoro
swaying slowly, my swaying heart, captive to the past
swaying slowly, your swaying heart, vanishing into the future
swaying slowly, my swaying heart
swaying slowly, your swaying heart

* the lyrics don't explicitly say "you" or refer to a "you" in this sentence, so I'm just making an assumption.
** のに is a tricky thing to translate because it means different things depending on the context, but in this case it's used to express wistfulness. Like, for example 「晴れて良かったのに」 "it's so sunny out, and yet... (I can't go outside)" or "despite it being so nice out... (I can't go outside and enjoy it)". The speaker does not mention actually wanting to go outside, but uses のに to express their feelings.
*** could also be translated as "and" but "with" is also a possible translation. I think と used in this sense is for listing things.
yuuyuujiteki shitai sou itte mou sannen sanzensekai noru'uee, aisou ga nai aa isoganai rubikon gawa watari, chikyuu no soto he demo sonna shigyou, dekiyashinai dekiyashinai sore wa sou
I want to live a quiet life free from the world, I say so, just three more years
out of the entire universe, Norway has no courtesy, aah, I'm not rushing it
a ferry on the Rubicon river goes to the rest of the world
but then I can't do it, I can't do such official work
that's for sure

'cause I'm a little stupid
tatoeba sa, daisuki na anata no omocha wo watashi ga suteta nara kitto okoru deshou (watashi ga sa suteta nara kitto hora okoru deshou)
for example! my beloved, if I threw your toys away
if I threw them away you'd probably get angry, huh?
(if I threw them away, then see, you'd get angry, right?)
"wake ieba anata wa yurusu no kashira" ("sono uchisa sora ni demo utau no kashira") sore wa sou osoku naru ne (sore wa sou osoku naru yo)
"I wonder if I can forgive you, if you gave a reason"

'cause I'm covering up my opened-up heart
UFO of love and hate
* both of these sentences use slang/internet terms I'm not familiar with so I had to look them up, so sorry if they aren't that accurate haha
** this is another slang term: ほの字 (or "the H word") stands for the verb ほれる, which means to fall in love. I changed it to "the L word" AKA "falling in love" to make more sense.
*** 嫌いになる literally means "to become hateful/to start to hate (something)"

別れる理由・・・？
the reason (for) breaking up*...?
何か間違っている？
Am I making a mistake?**
何も間違ってはいないわ。ただ、恋にとって正しいものは常に正しくないのよ。
You're not making any mistake. With love, the right thing (to do) is not always right.
理不尽な理由だな。
What an irrational reason.
どんなに理不尽な理由であっても、理由がないよりはましじゃない？
No matter how irrational of a reason I have, isn't it better than no reason at all?
どうしても別れるの？
So... we're breaking up?*
ええ、女性専用車両ですもの。
Yes, because this is the women-only train.
超 = ちょう: super, ultra, really, very 短編 = たんぺん: short (story/film) 理不尽 = りふじん: irrational, unreasonable ないよりはまし = better than nothing, more than none 女性専用車両 = じょせいせんようしゃりょう: women-only carriage (on a train), only for women passengers
* Note that the verb 別れる means "to be divided" or "to separate". They are separating because he's in the wrong train car; that's the joke.
** UPDATE: After being informed by the creator of the video above, I was told that the boy was not saying "are you making a mistake?" but rather "am I making a mistake/did I make some sort of mistake?" so yeah, I apologize for that mistake on my part! 蔵方透さんに、本当にありがとうございました
自分で蒔いた種を 埋めたままで 忘れました、
消えてく夢のように 君の影を 写しました。 jibun de maita tane wo umeta mama de wasuremashita, kieteku yume no you ni kimi no kage wo utsushimashita
the seeds I sowed by myself are buried, and I've forgotten,
like a disappearing dream, your shadow was duplicated
今見えない 声の欠片 君の声が 届く様な、ないか。
冷めた君の 身体を今 抱きしめるの 届くように、そっと。 ima mienai koe no kakera, kimi no koe ga, todoku you na, nai ka. sameta kimi no karada wo ima dakishimeru no todoku you ni, sotto.
now, the pieces of a voice that I can't see, your voice seems to reach me, does it not?
holding your cold body close right now, as if I'm reaching you, gently.
さよなら 僕の世界 開けた瓶を 壊しながら、
溶けてく 絵空事を 踏み外した 夢に乗せて。 sayonara, boku no sekai, aketa bin wo kowashinagara, toketeku esoragoto wo fumihazushita yume ni nosete.
goodbye, as my world breaks opened-up bottles,
riding on a dream that tripped over a thawing fabrication.
今僕には 聴こえない 君の言葉が 刺さる様だ、そうだ。
悲しみさえ 生まれる事 拒むのなら そのまま、そっと。 ima boku ni wa kikoenai kimi no kotoba ga sasaru you da, sou da. kanashimi sae umareru koto kobamu no nara sono mama, sotto.
now I can't hear you, your words seem to be stuck, that's right.
if you refuse the fact that even sorrow can be born, as it is, gently.
曖昧 存在感 曖昧 喪失感 曖昧 現実感 すべてが嘘のよう

vague presence, vague feeling of loss, vague sense of reality, all of it hard to believe*
crying out, crying out ambiguous meaning, with an ambiguous voice, with ambiguous memories
sainou mo hensachi mo nai you na noomiso de boudai na jouhou wo ukeiremashita. koukai mo zetsubou mo nai you ni nakiharashita. nemuru kimi wo mita.
with a brain that lacks talent and deviation
I received enormous gossip
I weeped my eyes out so I could no longer have despair or regret
and I saw you, asleep.
* while うそのよう can be translated to "unbelievable" it more literally means "like a lie" or "appearance of/like a lie".
awai tsuki ni mitorete shimau kara kurai ashimoto mo miezu ni koronda koto ni ki ga tsukenai mama tooi yoru no hoshi ga nijimu
since I'm charmed by the pale moon
without seeing my dark steps
I'm still not noticing that I've fallen down
the stars of a far-away night are blurring
shitai koto ga mitsukerarenai kara isoida furi utsumuku mama koronda ato ni warawareteru no mo kidzukanai furi wo suru no da
because the things I want to do can't be found
hanging my head in shame, pretending to have hurried
even when I'm being laughed at after falling down
I'm trying to pretend not to notice
形のない歌で朝を描いたまま
浅い浅い夏の向こうに
冷たくない君の手のひらが見えた
淡い空 明けの蛍
katachi no nai uta de asa wo egaita mama asai asai natsu no mukou ni tsumetakunai kimi no te no hira ga mieta awai sora, ake no hotaru
the morning still remains drawn with a shapeless song
beyond a shallow, shallow summertime
the palm of your hand, not at all cold, was seen
a pale sky, fireflies at dawn
jibun ga tada no shimi ni mieru hodo kirai na mono ga fueta no de chikyuu no uragawa he tobitai no da bujin no eki ni todoku made kinou no boku ni deau made
my own self looks so much like a simple stain
and since the things I hate have increased
I want to fly to the other side of the Earth
until I arrive at an unmanned station
until I come across who I was yesterday
mune ga itai kara, shita wo muku tabi ni kimi ga mata tooku wo yukunda yume wo mitai bokura wo yogose saraba, kinou yoru ni saku hi no hana
'cause my chest hurts every time I look down
and you're conquering distant places again
disgrace on us, who want to dream
farewell, fire flower that blooms yesterday night
水に映る花を 花を見ていた
水に霞む月を 月を見ていたから
mizu ni utsuru hana wo, hana wo miteita mizu ni kasumu tsuki wo, tsuki wo miteita kara
I've seen a flower, a flower reflected in the water
'cause I've seen a moon, a moon growing blurry in the water
夏が来ないままの空を描いたなら
君は僕を笑うだろうか
明け方の夢 浮かぶ月が見えた空
natsu ga konai mama no sora wo egaita nara kimi wa boku wo warau darou ka akegata no yume, ukabu tsuki ga mieta sora
if I drew a sky in where summer wouldn't come
wouldn't you laugh at me?
dreams of dawn, a sky where a floating moon was seen
朝が来ないままで息が出来たなら
遠い遠い夏の向こうへ
冷たくない君の手のひらが見えた
淡い朝焼けの夜空 asa ga konai mama de iki ga dekita nara tooi tooi natsu no mukou he tsumetakunai kimi no te no hira ga mieta awai asayake no yozora
if I were able to breathe, even when morning wouldn't come
beyond a distant, distant summertime
the palm of your hand, not at all cold, was seen
a pale morning glow in the night sky
夏がこないままの街を今
あぁ 藍の色 夜明けと蛍
natsu ga konai mama no machi wo ima aa, aoi no iro, yoake to hotaru
right now, in a town where summer won't come
ah, indigo-colored dawn with fireflies
kuru kuru mawaru, kimi no hitomi sagashite mawaru, eki no hoomu hibiku fanfaare gara gara oto wo tateru machi hajimari no basho ga tsugeru uso ni ima mo bokutachi wa kidzukazu ni
your eyes, small and spinning, revolving
the station platform, searching, revolving
a resounding fanfare
a town that makes rattling noises
the place of beginning, in the lies that it informed
even now, without us realizing it
"naze nani" wameku kageboushi wo mushi shite narasu hassha beru himitsu no tonneru zawa zawa sawagu mune osae toriaezu mimi wo kashitemita no mou sugu kieru hazu no sekai ni
"what? why?" the shadowy silhouette cries out
the departure bell ignores them and rings
a secret tunnel
the weight in my chest noisily making a racket
for now, I've tried to lend my ears
in this world that I expect to disappear very soon
ごめんね
もう二度と會えないようなそんな氣がして
運命が笑う
gomen ne mou nido to aenai you na sonna ki ga shite unmei ga warau
I'm sorry
I get that kinda feeling that I won't see you a second time
my fate laughs

I'm breaking through a critical point
driving away getting accustomed to my limits
it's absolute control, I say, caving in
an end theory is empty theory, but they say I have no choice with it
I shout from the end of the world line between 0 and 1
kuru kuru kuruu boku no haguruma naoshite mawasu kagi wa doko "sukima ni gochuui" itazura ni kotoba kawashinagara jouji hijou no deiriguchi ga mou sugu hiraku hazu no sekai ni
small and spinning, the gears of me going mad
where is the key that'll fix it and turn it around?
"be careful about the cracks"
while aimlessly exchanging words,
the usual emergency exit and entrance
in a world where I expect they'll open very soon
さよなら
たぐり寄せる糸の先まで行けず

without going as far as the tips of the thread I reel in, drawing near to
I fall, entwined in it

I'm expecting super-expansion
I tear up the survival rate, 0
the quiet arrival of a desperate situation
they say I have no choice with an end theory that's just yesterday's daydreams
from the end of the world line crossed in wires and lines, even now,
I'm just praying for you

I'll always be looking from the last stop
biting into the forbidden fruit
having done it tediously, always, always
something like fatalism is surely just a delusion, but I have no choice
is it sink or swim, shall I destroy it, the structure of the world?
rinkai ten toppa shiterunda genkai narasu de ni satte zettaiteki shihai datte houkai shuumatsu riron wa kijou no kuuron de shika nai tte zero to ichi no sekaisen no hate kara sakebu yo
I'm breaking through a critical point
driving away getting accustomed to my limits
it's absolute control, I say, caving in
an end theory is empty theory, but they say I have no choice with it
I shout from the end of the world line between 0 and 1

how come I'm here anyways?
not even a single thing moves
but I get the feeling that very soon you'll come to see me
so I close my eyes
* ragnarök is an old Norse word, and according to Wikipedia it apparently refers to a series of large, cataclysmic events and Norse gods fighting each other that eventually leads up to the earth's destruction and then it's rebirth. either that or it's referring to this Japanese MMORPG i found just by googling the word, so idk. pretty interesting though.
yugande wa sappari saki ga mienna bokura wa koko ni yume no naka hitoori futaari wa wo tsukureba kaketeru bubun wo boku ga miyoka
it's distorting and I can't see at all how it'll turn out
we're inside each individual dream
if the circle is built with one or two people
I'll look at the broken sections
higandemo yappari saki ga mienna bokura wa koko ni hako no naka hitoori futaari wa wo kowaseba tachimachi yogorete yuku mienai fonto
even if it's biased, just as I thought, I can't see how it'll turn out
we're inside each individual box
if the peace is broken by one or two people
then all at once a font that can't be seen becomes dirty
karan karan, to kane no ne wo narashita ano ko wa ima izuko hitan hitan, to tobihaneta kasa no shita no dareka no ashi
clang, clang, the sound of a tolling bell
that child who beat the bell, where is he now?
they hopped up and down in sorrow,
someone's feet from underneath an umbrella
kidzuku no wa yappari itsumo osoi na sonna bokura wa kago no naka hitoori futaari tachitomareba tachimachi umorete yuku ienai honnou
of course I always notice it too late
that kind of "us" is inside a cage
if one or two people stop and stand still
then all at once the instinct I can't say becomes buried
本当の事など誰も知らんよ
言葉にしたとて真意はどうよ
見えない本当の理由は それは？

nobody knows what's real, what's the truth
even though I put it into words, what's my intention?
the reason for the truth not being seen, what is it?

this distorted field of vision, is it my tears?
the meaning I've fixed myself upon inside of me
one person, two people, spinning up words
in each and every word there my meaning resides

if I notice just a little bit, will I be able to see how things turn out?
we're in the middle of our journey right here
one or two, going and walking
questions and answers, searching for an answer without an answer
the font that's leaving (me) behind...

it seems to be looking at a careless me
痛みや傷や嘘に慣れた僕の独り言
疲れた夜と並び吹く風
君の頬へ
itami ya kizu ya uso ni nareta boku no hitorigoto tsukareta yoru to narabifuku kaze kimi no hoho he
my monologue got used to the lies and pain and wounds
the wind that lines up and blows with the worn-out night
on your cheeks...
触れた
触れた
(ヨルハナガレル)
触れた
(ナイテハイナイ ナイテハイナイ)
fureta fureta (yoru wa nagareru) fureta (naite wa inai, naite wa inai)
it touched
touched
(the night flows)
touched
(I'm not crying, I won't cry)
触れた

(ヨルハナガレル)
君が
(ナイテイタ ナイテイタカラ) fureta fureta (yoru wa nagareru) kimi ga (naiteita, naiteita kara)
touched

(the night flows)
you did***
(I was crying, 'cause I was crying)
振り返った季節に立って
思い出せなくて嫌になって
流れ流れてた鳥だって
街で鳴いてたろ 鳴いてたろ
furikaetta kisetsu ni tatte omoidasenakute iya ni natte nagare nagareteta tori datte machi de naitetaro, naitetaro
standing in the seasons that looked back
I can't remember, it becomes unpleasant
even the birds that streamed and flow
they were crying, crying in the town
sugisatta kisetsu wo matte omoidasenakute iya ni natte hanarebanare kara tobitatte tori mo naitetaro, naitetaro
waiting for the seasons that passed away
I can't remember, it becomes unpleasant
the birds that jumped up from being separated
they also were crying out, crying out
いつだって僕らを待ってる
疲れた痛みや傷だって
変わらないままの夜だって
歌い続けるよ 続けるよ
itsudatte bokura wo matteru tsukareta itami ya kizu datte kawaranai mama no yoru datte utaitsudzukeru yo, tsudzukeru yo
(it's) always waiting for us
even the worn-out pain and wounds
even the night that's unchanged
I'll continue singing, I'll continue!
itsudatte bokura wo matteru mada mienai mama tada matteru darashinakute yowai boku datte utaitsudzukeru yo, tsudzukeru yo
(it's) always waiting for us
with it still being unseen I'm just simply waiting
even with me who is weak and slovenly
I'll continue singing, I'll continue!
translation notes:
* probably referring to the town.
** notice how the original sentence is 痛みや傷や嘘 and uses a lot of や to list the multiple things in the sentence. や translates to "and" but it more literally means "and" in the sense that "these are some things related to each other, and there's so many of them that I can't list them all because the list is endless, so I'm going to use "ya" instead to imply this".
*** I'm assuming that it means "you (touched)" by the previous sentences (触れた, 触れた) because once he says 君が it feels like the が implies that he's reassuring that it's 君 who "touched". idk someone correct me if I'm wrong.
watch the music video for this song it will change your life
(sorry about the low quality of the video).
バッハの旋律を夜に聴いたせいです こんな心
バッハの旋律を夜に聴いたせいです こんな心
bahha no senritsu wo yoru ni kiita sei desu, konna kokoro bahha no senritsu wo yoru ni kiita sei desu, konna kokoro
it's all because I listened to Bach's melody in the night that my heart's like this
it's all because I listened to Bach's melody in the night that my heart's this way
月に慣れた僕がなぜ 月に見とれたのはなぜ
歩き出そうとしてたのに 待ってくれって服を掴まれたようだ
tsuki ni nareta boku ga naze, tsuki ni mitoreta no wa naze arukidasou to shiteta no ni matte kure tte fuku wo tsukamareta you da
why did I get so used to the moon? why was I so fascinated by the moon?
though I tried to get myself to walk, I heard "wait!" and it seemed my clothes were grasped

bahha no senritsu wo yoru ni kiita sei desu, konna kokoro bahha no senritsu wo yoru ni kiita sei desu, konna kokoro
it's all because I listened to Bach's melody in the night that I have such a heart

月に慣れた君がなぜ 月を見ていたのはなぜ
僕の左手に立ち 黙ってる君の顔を思い出したよ
tsuki ni nareta kimi ga naze, tsuki wo miteita no wa naze boku no hidarite ni tachi damatteru kimi no kao wo omoidashita yo
why did you get so used to the moon? why were you looking at the moon?
I remembered your face, silent and standing in my left hand
気まぐれな君の色 部屋に吹くぬるいその色
壁が鳴り痺れるチェロ すぐに忘れてしまうだろう
(x2)
kimagure na kimi no iro, heya ni fuku nurui sono iro kabe ga nari shibireru chero, sugu ni wasurete shimau darou (x2)
the color of you, so moody*, that lukewarm color that blows in the room
a cello that the rings on the walls and goes numb, and instantly I'm forgetting about it
(x2)

忘れかけてたのになぜ 忘れられないのはなぜ
歩き始めた二人 笑ってる君の顔を思い出したよ wasurekaketeta no ni naze, wasurerarenai no wa naze arukihajimeta fukari, waratteru kimi no kao wo omoidashita yo
I was starting to forget, but why? why am I not being forgotten?
I remembered your laughing face as two people began to walk
kimagure na kimi no iro, heya ni fuku nurui sono iro kabe ga nari shibireru chero, sugu ni wasurete shimau darou kimagure na kimi no iro, heya ni fuku nurui sono iro kabe ga nari shibireru chero, sugu ni wasurete shimau darou
the color of you, so moody, that lukewarm color that blows in the room
a cello that the rings on the walls and goes numb, and instantly I'm forgetting about it
the color of you, so moody, that lukewarm color that blows in the room
a cello that the rings on the walls and goes numb, and instantly I'm forgetting about it
* translation note: "kimagure na kimi no iro" literally translates to "moody/whimsy your color". it's not calling the color itself "moody", but rather "kimi" (you).
sekai kara hajikidasarete, tohou mo naku hosoi hari no ue ni ita baransu wo toru yubi no saki ga kimi ni furete, hitori ja nai to wakatta bokura ni tada hitotsu ataerareteta yuganda hane de
forced out from the world, we were there on top of an outrageously thin needle
keeping balance, my fingertips felt you, and I knew that I wasn't alone
we were given only one thing
with distorted wings
umarete kara (shinu made) shinu made ni nani wo shitai tte kiku kimi wa maru de tenshi mitai ni sa, warau kara natsu no netsu ni (yugande) moeru biru no mure no sukima wo nuke bokura wa ochiteku saigo ni hikigane wo hiite yarou sono ato wa fuyu ga kite, yuki ga subete wo oou
from the time we're born (until we die) until we die I'll be asking "what do you want to do?"
because you laugh just like an angel
in the fever of summer (distorting) drawn out of the crevice in the group of burning buildings
in our last moments, we're falling
I'll pull the trigger
and afterwards winter comes, the snow covers everything
mukuwarenai kamo shirenai, ushinaeba erareru tomo omowanai sore demo saihate no basho wa bokura ni mo hitoshiku sonzai shiteru koko ni itsudzukeru koto wa dekinai dakara semete
perhaps we might be rewarded, but if we lose it, I don't think it'll be gained
and yet the farthest place away is existing equal to us too
we can't remain staying here
so this is our offense
umarete kara (shinu made) shinu made nani ga dekiru tte kiku boku ni ima wa nani mo kotaezu ni warau dake yume no owari (saigo ni) hi no tsuita chou no you ni hitotoki dake kagayaki sekai no kumotta me wo ubau zenbu ubaou
from the time we're born (until we die) until we die I'll be asking "what can you do?"
now you just laugh, without answering to me
the end of a dream (to the end) like a butterfly spat out from the fire
only one moment, radiant,
snatches the world's clouded-over eyes
it'll snatch away everything
umarete kara (shinu made) shinu made kimi to ikitemitai yo sore wa, maru de shinwa mitai ni wa egakarenai natsu to natsu wo (tsunaide) rekishi to rasen no sukima wo nuke jigoku he ochiteku saigo ni hikigane wo hiite yarou sore de bokura mo chiri ni naru
from the time we're born (until we die) until we die I want to try to live with you
that cannot be drawn to be just like a legend
(connect) summers with summers, come out from the crevice of a helix spiraling* with history
in the last moments, falling to hell
I'll pull the trigger
and then we'll become dust
その後は冬がきて
雪がすべてを覆う
それからも冬がきて
雪がすべてを語る
sono ato wa fuyu ga kite yuki ga subete wo oou sore kara mo fuyu ga kite yuki ga subete wo kataru
after that winter will come
the snow covers everything
and then winter comes again
the snow tells everything
i recently finished this series and i'm not even a big anime fan and it broke my heart. this song's lyrics break my heart. i'm broken inside
I've seen some translations out there for this song already but I didn't like how some of them were translated (especially the lyrics in the video below, haha) so i tried to do it myself! (it's probably not that good either. oh well, I tried)
誰か海を撒いてはくれないか ぼくの頭上に
沈んでく魚と太陽を 浴びたいのだ
dareka, umi wo maite wa kurenai ka, boku no zujou ni shizundeku sakana to taiyou wo abitai no da
won't somebody sprinkle an ocean over me?
I want to bathe in the sinking fish and sun
あざやかな道 躓いて消える魔法
プレパラート越しに見える ひび割れた空
azayaka na michi tsumazuite kieru mahou pureparaato goshi ni mieru hibiwareta sora
on a vivid road, the magic fails and disappears
a sky broken into cracks can be seen through a preparation plate
haikyo no okujou ni tadoritsuku watage no sasayaki wo kakomu bokura wa uta haiiro no chijou ni kazarareta hikari no todoroki wo matou bokura wa hanataba mushirareta tsubasa wo
on the rooftop of an abandoned building
we surround the whispering of downy feathers that brush along
we are a song
on the ash-colored ground, wearing the roar of decorated light,
we are a bouquet of flowers
wings that were plucked...
ことば ふきかえす息もなく 艶やかに散る kotoba, fukikaesu iki mo naku, adeyaka ni chiru
words, blowing away without a breath, falling beautifully
海鳥 満ち引きの真ん中に 嘘つきの星
またたき 導いては突き放し 船を漕ぐ
umidori michihiki no mannaka ni usotsuki no hoshi matataki michibiite wa tsukihanashi, fune wo kogu
a lying star in the middle of the rising and pulling of sea birds
abruptly refusing the flickering light that guides me, I row a boat
真夜中の海 残響の潮風と
燃えさかる世界に 頬をうずめ
mayonaka no umi, zankyou no shiokaze to moesakaru sekai ni hoho wo uzume
the ocean at midnight, the salty wind in resonance
covers my face in this blazing world
hishimeku koetachi no uzumaki no tadanaka te wo tsunagi hari no ame wo kuguru no kureteku zekkei ni, ochiteku sakasama no kagerou to asobi jikan to odoru no
in the middle of the whirlpool of clamoring voices,
I'm passing under the rain of a needle that connects our hands
in this darkening picturesque view, we play with the heat haze that falls upside-down
dancing with time
haikyo no okujou ni tadoritsuku watage no sasayaki wo kakomu bokura wa uta haiiro no chijou ni kazarareta hikari no todoroki wo matou bokura wa hanataba
on the rooftop of an abandoned building
we surround the whispering of downy feathers that brush along
we are a song
on the ash-colored ground, wearing the roar of decorated light,
we are a bouquet of flowers
(廃墟の屋上に 囁きをかこむ ぼくらは歌 灰色の地上に ひかりの 轟きを纏う 花束) (on the rooftop of an abandoned building we surround the whispering... we are a song on the ash-colored ground we wear the roar of light... flower bouquet)
誰か海を撒いてはくれないか
ぼくらの天井に dareka, umi wo maite wa kurenai ka bokura no tenjou ni
ame furi demo kasa wa sasanai no (hajimemashite to neko wa naku) oki ni iri no hiiru wo nurasu no
even though it's raining, my umbrella isn't raised
("it's nice to meet you" purrs a cat)
I soak my favorite high heels
何気ないような日常が今ほら
変わりたいと藍色に染まりだす
水たまりに映る一秒間
ただ一度この目で見てみたいだけなの nanigenai you na nichijou ga ima, hora kawaritai to aiiro ni somaridasu mizutamari ni utsuru ichibyoukan tada ichido kono me de mitemitai dake na no
the same nonchalant-like everyday is now, look!
when I want to change I'll dye myself in indigo
a single second reflected in a puddle of water
I just want to try looking with these eyes at least once
踊るよ 世界が 揺らいで 廻るの！
届くよ 速度を上げて
odoru yo, sekai ga yuraide mawaru no! todoku yo, sokudo wo agete
it's dancing, the world's shaking and revolving!
it's carrying on, increasing my speed
kakedashitai no, ashita made hitottobi kinou no kare mo asayake mo inai kedo, sore de, sore de ii no zutto tsudzuiteku, kitto susunderu motto aishiteru, hibi wo, kimi wo isso nana koronde, nankai okiagatte sou yatte mata kyou wo omoi aeteru
I want to start running with a single leap towards tomorrow
the boys and the sunrises of yesterday aren't here, but I'm fine, I'm fine with that
it always continues, it surely goes on
I'm loving every day and you even more
I'd rather fall down seven times and get back up over and over
if I do so then I'll love today again
頬を伝う彼女の雫は
（みてみぬふり猫は鳴く）
俯いたsink 退屈並べた
hoho wo tsutau kanojo no shizuku wa (miteminu furi neko wa naku) utsumuita sink taikutsu narabeta
the tears go along down her cheeks
(the cat purrs, pretending not to see)
she looked downward, her tears sink, tediously lined up
優しさで紡がれた嘘でも
悲しみに彩られた実でも
水たまりに騒ぐ雨粒の ふちをそっと指先でなぞるよう yasashisa de tsumugareta uso demo kanashimi ni irodorareta jitsu demo mizutamari ni sawagu amatsubu no fuchi wo sotto yubisaki de nazoru you
even with lies spun from kindness
even with truths colored in sadness
as if gently tracing the edges of the raindrops that hit the puddles with your fingertips
描いて 奏でて きらめく 願いが 叶うよ！
届くよ 高度を上げて
egaite, kanadete, kirameku, negai ga kanau yo! todoku yo, koudo wo agete
it paints, the sounds play, glittering, wishes are coming true!
it's carrying on, raising my altitude
kakenuketai no, uchuu made hitottobi ukabeta hoshi mo tsuki ni mo aenai kedo, sore de, sore de ii no zutto tsudzuiteku, kitto susunderu motto aishiteru, hibi to kimi to isso uzukumatte nankai nakijakutte sou yatte mata kyou to meguri aeteru
I wanna run through with a single leap towards outer space
I can't meet with the moon and stars that floated, but I'm fine, I'm fine with that
it always continues, it surely goes on
I'm loving every day and you even more
I'd rather cower away and sob many times
if I do so then I'll happen across today again
僕を照らしてブルームーン
長い夢からもう覚めた
明日の方角へ連れてってよ！
速度を上げて
boku wo terashite buruu muun nagai yume kara mou sameta asu no hougaku he tsurete tte yo! sokudo wo agete
the blue moon illuminates me
I've already woken up from this long dream
I'll take you in the direction of tomorrow!
increase our speed
kakedashitai no, ashita made hitottobi kinou no kare mo yuuyake mo inai kedo, sore de, sore de ii no zutto tsudzuiteku, kitto susunderu motto aishiteru, hibi mo, kimi mo isso nana koronde, nankai okiagatte sou yatte mata kyou mo meguri aeteru omoi atteiku, kore kara zutto
I want to start running with a single leap towards tomorrow
the boys and the sunsets of yesterday aren't here, but with that, I'm fine with that
it always continues, it surely goes on
I'm loving every day and you even more
I'd rather fall down seven times and get back up over and over
if I do so then I'll happen across today again
we'll love each other, from now on, always
just a warning: this is kind of a sad song. I think this song sums up what it feels like trying to make friends and utterly failing at it story of my life.
間違いを見つけたら知らせてください。
怪物は見た 綺麗な空
一歩 歩く
後ろめたさが 息を殺し
足を 止めた
kaibutsu wa mita kirei na sora ippo aruku ushirometasa ga iki wo koroshi ashi wo tometa
a monster saw a beautiful sky
walking one step at a time
guilty feelings killing its breath,
it stopped its feet
奇跡を信じた人は 独り
祈り 消えて
努力を惜しまず 尽くした人も
一人 また一人
kiseki wo shinjita hito wa hitori inori kiete doryoku wo oshimazu tsukushita hito mo hitori mata hitori
the person who believed in miracles is alone
prayers fade away
the person you befriended without valuing their effort
is also alone, alone again
夢を嘲笑い 断った声が
一つ 答え
『さようならキミと会うことはない』
残し 消える
yume wo azawarai tatta koe ga hitotsu kotae "sayounara kimi to au koto wa nai" nokoshi kieru
the voice that sneered at and severed that dream
its only answer;
"goodbye, I'll never see you again"
is left behind and disappears
あの日見た 怪物はきっと
寂しかったの
もういない遠く
この夜はもうすぐに 明ける
ano hi mita kaibutsu wa kitto sabishikatta no mou inai tooku kono yoru wa mou sugu ni akeru
the monster that I saw that day
was surely very lonely
they're not here anymore, they're far away
and very soon this night will dawn
あのときに見えた姿 一つ
どこか 悲しげ
今までの言葉 すべてゴミ箱に捨て 拾う
ano toki ni mieta sugata hitotsu dokoka kanashige ima made no kotoba subete gomibako ni sute hirou
the one figure that was seen at that time
seemed to be sad somewhere
all these words so far, I'll gather them all and throw them away into a trashcan
ano hi mita kaibutsu wa kitto aitakatta no mou konai chikaku kono yume wa mou kitto, sameru ano hi mita kaibutsu wa kitto tsutaekatta mou inai tooku kono yoru wa mou sugu akeru
surely the monster I saw that day
wanted to meet me
but they won't come nearby
this dream is already, most likely, subsiding
surely the monster I saw that day
wanted to talk with me
they're not here anymore, they're far away
and very soon this night will dawn
boku wa tokitama ni "boku" to hanashi wo surunda sugata wa mienai kedo. shigatsu no kaze ga fuku koro, bokura no kyori wa chikaku naru itsumo toori no hazu na no ni. kimi ga ita.
every once in a while
I'll have a conversation with "myself"
even though my figure can't be seen.
around the time when the April wind blows, our distance became nearer
if only it had just been like always.
you were there.
bokura ga deattara docchika wa inakunaru no aitai nante omotta no wa nee dooshite yo, ne dooshite yo. "docchika ga honmono de docchika ga nisemono nara boku ga kieyou ka na nante ne" jaa ne bai bai.
if we meet each other
one of us two will disappear
having thought before that I wanted to meet you
hey, why is that, hey, why is that?
"if one of us two is the real thing
and if one of us is the counterfeit
I wonder, will I disappear? just wondering."
well then, bye-bye.
「4月の風が止む頃」
僕の声が遠くなる どちらかの存在が
間違いで。
"shigatsu no kaze ga yamu koro" boku no koe ga tooku naru, dochira ka no sonzai ga machigai de.
"around the time that the April wind stopped"
my voice grows far away, one of our existences
is a mistake.
僕らが 仲良しで
いなけりゃさ よかったのに
逢ってしまったら駄目なのは
ねえどーしてよ ねえどーしてよ。
「どっちかが ホンモノで
どっちかがニセモノとか
あるはずないよね そうだね
じゃあね バイバイ。」 bokura ga nakayoshi de inakerya sa yokatta no ni atteshimattara dame na no wa nee dooshite yo, nee dooshite yo. "docchika ga honmono de docchika ga nisemono toka aru hazu nai yo ne, sou da ne jaa ne bai bai."
with us being close friends
I'm almost glad that you're not here, but
if we were to meet then it would be useless
hey, why is that, hey, why is that?
"one of us two is the real thing
and one of us is the counterfeit, or something like that
that can't be the case, you know? isn't that right?
well then, bye-bye."

in order to walk and avoid crowds of people
I who lived that way, as if drifting
if it's true that that's the one reason that such a me is alive, then geez...
"I don't need anything else"
"if I only had this, then I'd keep living"
I don't think that's so, it's just a bunch of whitewashing
please don't disappear together with me.
bokura ga deattara docchika wa inakunaru no aitai nante omotta no wa nee dooshite yo, ne dooshite yo. docchika ga honmono de docchika ga nisemono nara boku ga kieru kara
if we meet each other
one of us two will disappear
having thought before that I wanted to meet you
hey, why is that, hey, why is that?
if one of us two is the real thing
and if one of us is the counterfeit
then I'll be the one to fade away
bokura ga deattara hitotsu ni natte kasanaru no kietai nante omotta kinou nee dooshita no, nee dooshita no. docchika ga boku no mama docchika ga sakura naraba itsuka aeru ka na nante ne. jaa ne bai bai.
if we meet each other
we'll become one and overlap
yesterday when I thought that I might want to disappear
hey, why did I think so, hey, why was that so?
either one of us is myself
if either one of us is a cherry tree
I wonder if we'll ever meet... just wondering.
well then, bye-bye.
