サーカスナイト Circus Night English translation + romaji lyrics

I actually like Aoba's cover better even though I like both versions (笑)





Oh baby 今夜のキスで 一生分のこと 変えてしまいたいよ
ここは 楽園じゃない だけど 描ける限りの 夢の中
目の前で 魔法が解けてゆく 焦る気持ちだけが 言葉つなげ
君を抱きしめるたびに 綱の上で揺れる Circus Night

oh baby konya no kisu de isshoubun no koto kaeteshimaitai yo
koko wa rakuen ja nai dakedo, egakeru kagiri no yume no naka
me no mae de mahou ga tokete yuku aseru kimochi dake ga kotoba tsunage
kimi wo dakishimeru tabi ni tsuna no ue de yureru circus night

Oh baby, with tonight's kiss, I want it to change my lifetime
This place isn't paradise, but the limits to which I can paint is the inside of a dream
In front of my eyes, the magic is being broken, and these flustered feelings tie up words
Every time I hold you, I'm swaying on top of a rope, circus night


Tight rope dancing Baby 今夜だけ 辿り着きたい ピエロ
Tight rope dancing Baby 今夜だけ 生き延びたい ピエロ
Tight rope dancing Baby 今夜だけ Baby 今夜だけ Baby
Tight rope dancing Baby 今夜だけ 生き延びたい ピエロ
Oh baby 魔法が解けてゆく

tight rope dancing, baby konya dake tadoritsukiyai piero
tight rope dancing, baby konya dake ikinobitai piero
tight rope dancing, baby konya dake baby konya dake baby
tight rope dancing, baby konya dake ikinobitai piero
oh baby mahou ga toketeyuku

Tight rope dancing, baby, only tonight, I'm a clown that wants to get there
Tight rope dancing, baby, only tonight, I'm a clown that wants to live long
Tight rope dancing, baby, only tonight, baby, only tonight, baby
Tight rope dancing, baby, only tonight, I'm a clown that wants to live long
Oh baby, the magic's being broken


宵闇が 僕らを包んで 天幕の中みたい
僕は冴えないピエロであなたはFearless Girl Circus Night
どんなにそれが絵空事でも 飛ぶしかない夜
君がほしい 口づけてしまいたい 幕があがる Circus Night

yoiyami ga bokura wo tsutsunde tento no naka mitai
boku wa saenai piero de anata wa fearless girl circus night
donna ni sore ga esoragoto demo tobu shikanai yoru
kimi ga hoshii kuchi dzukete shimaitai maku ga aru circus night

The twilight wraps us up like we're inside of a tent
I'm a clown who's really unclear, and you're a fearless girl, circus night
No matter how much of a fabrication it is, I have no choice but to fly in the night
I want you, I want to kiss you, and the curtain rises, circus night


Oh baby 今夜のキスで 一生分のこと 変えてしまいたいよ
ここは 楽園じゃない だけど 描ける限りの 夢の中
目の前で 魔法が解けてゆく 焦る気持ちだけが 言葉つなげ
君を抱きしめるたびに 綱の上で揺れる Circus Night

oh baby, konya no kisu de isshoubun no koto kaeteshimaitai yo
koko wa rakuen ja nai dakedo, egakeru kagiri no yume no naka
me no mae de mahou ga tokete yuku aseru kimochi dake ga kotoba tsunage
kimi wo dakishimeru tabi ni tsuna no ue de yureru circus night

Oh baby, with tonight's kiss, I want it to change my lifetime
This place isn't paradise, but the limits to which I can paint is the inside of a dream
In front of my eyes, the magic is being broken, and these flustered feelings tie up words
Every time I hold you, I'm swaying on top of a rope, circus night


Tight rope dancing Baby 今夜だけ 辿り着きたい ピエロ
Tight rope dancing Baby 今夜だけ 生き延びたい ピエロ
Tight rope dancing Baby 今夜だけ Baby 今夜だけ Baby
Tight rope dancing Baby 今夜だけ 生き延びたい ピエロ

tight rope dancing, baby konya dake tadoritsukiyai piero
tight rope dancing, baby konya dake ikinobitai piero
tight rope dancing, baby konya dake baby konya dake baby
tight rope dancing, baby konya dake ikinobitai piero

Tight rope dancing, baby, only tonight, I'm a clown that wants to get there
Tight rope dancing, baby, only tonight, I'm a clown that wants to live long
Tight rope dancing, baby, only tonight, baby, only tonight, baby
Tight rope dancing, baby, only tonight, I'm a clown that wants to live long

北園みなみ - カザミドリ Weather Vane English translation + romaji lyrics

This is such a relaxing and lovely song to listen to. I loved the lyrics so I just had to translate them!!

You can find the website/link to purchase this song here.

旋律は美しいし、リラックスさせたから訳したいと思ったので訳してみたのですね。間違いを見つけたら教えてください



風見鶏が北を向いた
セピアの空に生ぬるい風が 歌を歌っている

kazamidori ga kita wo muita
sepia no sora ni namanurui kaze ga uta wo utatteiru

the weather vane turned to face the north
the lukewarm wind in the sepia sky sings a song


扉を開けてコートを脱ぐ
クリームの壁
青白い写真
いつかの夜明けね

tobira wo akete kooto wo nugu
kuriimu no kabe
aojiroi shashin
itsuka no yoake ne

I open up the door and take off my coat
the cream walls
the bluish-white photographs
the dawn of some day


通り過ぎるひとりひとりは
自分だけの言葉を見つけようと夢を見ている

toorisugiru hitori hitori wa
jibun dake no kotoba wo mitsukeyou to yume wo miteru

passing through one by one,
I'm dreaming that I'm trying to find only my words


雨空には聞こえないさ
昔の話夜に聞かせて
紅茶をいれよう

amazora ni wa kikoenai sa
mukashi no hanashi yoru ni kikasete
koucha wo ireyou

to the sky that threatens to rain, they can't hear
let's tell the night about the conversations of bygone days
and pour some black tea


夕暮れには歌が歌えて
自分だけの言葉で薄紅の空を描く

yuugure ni wa uta ga utaete
jibun dake no kotoba de usubeni no sora wo egaku

I can sing a song to the evening
and with only my own words, I can paint the sky a light crimson

【初音ミク】 サヨナラの向こう側 sayonara no mukougawa (The other side of goodbye) English translation and lyrics

Such a relaxing piece to listen to!! (even though the lyrics are sad)


おはよう 元気かい?
今、何をしてるの?
君がいて 僕がいる
でも サヨナラしなくちゃ

Good morning, how ya doing?
What are you doing right now?
You're here and I'm here
but I have to say goodbye

この世に永遠なんてない ずっと一緒なわけじゃない
儚くて 泣いてしまうけど 生きる勇気手に入れよう

There's no such thing as "eternity" in this world, it doesn't mean we'll be together forever
Even though you'll cry momentarily, I'll give you the courage to keep living

じゃあね おやすみ
明日 また話せるよ?
君がいて 僕がいる
でも サヨナラしなくちゃ

Bye, good night
Will you be able to talk with me again tomorrow?
You're here and I'm here
but I have to say goodbye

サヨナラ 昨日の僕に ずっと一緒なわけじゃない
切なくて 泣いてしまうけど その涙が世界を潤してくんだ

Farewell, to the me of yesterday, it doesn't mean we'll be together forever
Though you'll cry miserably, those tears will benefit the world*


サヨナラ
sayonara


ほらね 夜が明ける
朝日が待ってるよ 今
君と僕がいる
でも サヨナラしなくちゃ

Look, the dawn is breaking
The morning sun is waiting for you now
I'm here with you
but I have to say goodbye


サヨナラしても君は 僕に行き続けるよ
その思いの深さだけが 僕を支えてくんだ いつだって

Even if I say goodbye, you'll keep on living in me
Just the depth of those thoughts will keep holding me up, always


サヨナラ
sayonara





* or "moisten/wet", probably that because we're talking about tears and crying here.

サカナクション - 蓮の花 Sakanaction - Hasu no Hana (Lotus Flower) English translation + romaji lyrics

このミュージックビデオの最後に歌詞を書き始めるみたい…?面白いね



花降る 花降る水辺
花散る 花散る風で

hana furu hana furu mizube
hana chiru hana chiru kaze de

whoa-oh-oh, flowers fall, flowers fall by the waterside
whoa-oh-oh, flowers scatter, flowers scatter with the wind


そう 今朝逃がした
あの小さい蜘蛛 
どうしてるだろう

sou, kesa nigashita
ano chiisai kumo
doushiteru darou

that's right, this morning I set it free
that small spider
I wonder how it'll do*


ああ、終わらないな
疲れる夜が待ってる せめて
静かに君を妄想したいのに

aa, owaranai na
tsukareru yoru ga matteru semete
shizuka ni kimi wo mousou shitai no ni

ah, it won't end
the worn out night is at least waiting,
even though it wants to quietly delude you


花降る 花降る水辺
花散る 花散る風で

hana furu hana furu mizube
hana chiru hana chiru kaze de

whoa-oh-oh, flowers fall, flowers fall by the waterside
whoa-oh-oh, flowers scatter, flowers scatter with the wind


そう 夢を見た
あの小さい蜘蛛 君みたいだった

sou, yume wo mita
ano chiisai kumo kimi mitai datta

that's right, I dreamt
that the tiny spider was just like you


ああ、蜘蛛の糸 花揺る蓮まで垂れ下がって
苦しむ僕を引っ張り上げてよ

aa, kumo no ito hana yuru hasu made taresagatte
kurushimu boku wo hippari agete yo

ah, the spider's thread dangles til it reaches the shaking lotus flower
I'm suffering, please pull me up!


花降る 花降る水辺
花散る 花散る風で
あらゆる あらゆる技で
花びら 花びら咲かそう

hana furu hana furu mizube
hana chiru hana chiru kaze de
arayuru arayuru waza de
hanabira hanabira sakasou

whoa-oh-oh, flowers fall, flowers fall by the waterside
whoa-oh-oh, flowers scatter, flowers scatter with the wind
whoa-oh-oh, with each and every, each and every technique
whoa-oh-oh, it looks like the flower petals, flower petals will blossom




* or maybe "I wonder what'll happen to it"?

サカナクション - Mellow English translation + romaji lyrics

Unfortunately I couldn't find a YouTube video for this song. HOWEVER you can buy it on iTunes if you want!


絵になるよう
絵になるような夜
絵になるよう
絵になるような君
絵になるよう
絵になるような夜

探したよ
夜の音

e ni naru you
e ni naru you na yoru
e ni naru you
e ni naru you na kimi
e ni naru you
e ni naru you na yoru
sagashita yo
yoru no oto

it seems like a painting*
the night seems to become a painting
it seems like a painting
you seem to be like a painting
it seems like a painting
the night seems to become a painting
I searched
for the sound of the night


手の鳴るほう
手の鳴るほうへ行く
手 繋がったまま
君は踊る

手の鳴るほう
手の鳴るほうへ行く
手 繋がったまま
踊る君は流星

te no naru hou
te no naru hou he iku
te tsunagatta mama
kimi wa odoru

te no naru hou
te no naru hou he iku
te tsugatta mama
odoru kimi wa ryuusei

towards the clapping of your hands**
I'll go towards the clapping of your hands
with our hands intertwined,
you dance

towards the clapping of your hands
I'll go towards the clapping of your hands
with our hands intertwined,
dancing, you're a falling star


手の鳴るほう
手の鳴るほうへ行く
手の鳴るほう
手の鳴るほうを見る
手の鳴るほう
手の鳴るほうへ行く

探したよ
夜の音

te no naru hou
te no naru hou he iku
te no naru hou
te no naru hou wo miru
te no naru hou
te no naru hou he iku
sagashita yo
yoru no oto

towards the clapping of your hands
I'll go towards the clapping of your hands
towards the clapping of your hands
looking towards the clapping of your hands
towards the clapping of your hands
I'll go towards the clapping of your hands
I've searched
for the sound of the night


絵になるよう
絵になるような夜
手 繋がったまま
君は踊る

e ni naru you
e ni naru you na yoru
te tsunagatta mama
kimi wa odoru

it seems like a painting
the night seems to become a painting
with our hands intertwined,
you dance


絵になるよう
絵になるような夜
手は離せないから

e ni naru you
e ni naru you na yoru
te wa hanasenai kara

it seems to become a painting
the night seems to become a painting
'cause I will never part my hands from yours


クラップ鳴って踊る
土曜のダンスホールは
まるでスローモーションだった
まるで君は夜の海月
(x2)

kurappu natte odoru
doyou no dansuhooru wa
marude suroomooshon datta
marude kimi wa yoru no kurage
(x2)

we clap our hands and dance
at the Saturday dance hall,
it was as if it were in slow motion
as if you were a medusa of the night




* the term 絵になる (e ni naru) literally means "to become a picture/painting", but more figuratively means something along the lines of "that subject is so graceful and majestic, it could become a beautiful painting." I know it doesn't make sense, I can't explain it very well. I'd really appreciate it if anyone could put it into better words for me or give a better translation.

** 手の鳴る方へ (te no naru hou he) means something along the lines of "in the direction of the sound of (one's) hands" and comes from a saying that basically means to clap your hands to distract someone who is chasing you while you run, and to cause them to rely on the sound of your clapping in order to catch you.

【初音ミク Hatsune Miku】SinkStar English translation + romaji lyrics

This is a super chill and relaxing song to listen to and I wanted to translate it. I love the lyrics! (they're about staaaarsssss *-*)


昔からこの街が好き
眠れない夜 散歩道へ
川の流れ 耳を澄ませる
緩やかな空気 僕を癒す

mukashi kara kono machi ga suki
nemurenai yoru sanpomichi he
kawa no nagare mimi wo sumaseru
yuruyaka na kuuki boku wo iyasu

I've loved this town since long ago
on a sleepless night, going on a walk
I can hear the river's currents
the gentle atmosphere heals me


不意に見えたの遥かな星影
一番高い丘へ行ってみよう

fui ni mieta no haruka na hoshikage
ichiban takai oka he ittemiyou

I suddenly saw distant starlight
let's try to go to the tallest hill


星いっぱいの空へ手を伸ばした
宇宙の果てはある?
その時の僕も知らないさ

hoshi ippai no sora he, te wo nobashita
uchuu no hate wa aru?
sono toki no boku mo shiranai sa

I reached out my hand towards the sky full of stars
is there an end to the universe?
at that time, even I myself don't know


星を探している僕
僕の心は寂しくない

hoshi wo sagashiteiru boku
boku no kokoro wa sabishikunai

I'm searching for the stars
and my heart isn't lonely


星の見えない街
僕だけがずっと星を忘れない
僕は星が見えます

hoshi no mienai machi
boku dake ga zutto hoshi wo wasurenai
boku wa hoshi ga miemasu

in a town where stars cannot be seen,
I will never forget the stars
because they can be seen by me

Home "Towards the Sun" by Rihanna ホーム(映画から曲の訳書「太陽のほう」日本語訳書と英語の歌詞

I JUST SAW THIS MOVIE TODAY and I cried maybe once or twice oops. (the scene during which this song played was one of those times) I read the book and loved it, and while the movie wasn't exactly like the book it was still amazing. Go see it!!



Turn your face towards the sun
Let the shadows fall behind you
Don't look back, just carry on
And the shadows will never find you
[x2]

顔を太陽のほうへ向いて
後ろに影を落として
振り替えないで 続けば
影は君を見つけない
[x2]


Lost in the rock and roll, got lost in the promise of a love I've never known
Shadows chase me far from home
I remember when my heart was filled with gold

ロックの音に道を迷って ぜんぜん知らなかった愛の中に迷ってきた
影はホームから遠く追いかけて
金でいっぱい心を覚えている


And you know, I've been burned, I've been burned, I've been burned
You see me lose control
It's not worth, it's not worth, it's not worth my soul

私は漕げた 漕げた 漕げたと分かるの*
自身の制御を失うのは
価値 価値 価値さえない


Turn your face towards the sun
Let the shadows fall behind you
Don't look back, just carry on
And the shadows will never find you

顔を太陽のほうへ向いて
後ろに影を落として
振り替えないで 続けば
影は君を見つけない


Lost my faith and trust
You and I know gold don't turn to rust
I still swear that we can reign like the kings and queens of better yesterday

信義や信頼を忘れちゃった
金がさびにならないって君も分かるでしょう
昨日の王様と女王のように君臨するのが可能だ


Don't you know I've been burned, I've been burned, I've been burned?
You see me lose control
It's not worth, it's not worth, it's not worth my soul

私は漕げた 漕げた 漕げたともう分かったの?
自身の制御を失うのは
価値 価値 価値さえない


Turn your face towards the sun
Let the shadows fall behind you
Don't look back, just carry on
And the shadows will never find you

顔を太陽のほうへ向いて
後ろに影を落として
振り替えないで 続けば
影は君を見つけない


Where you gonna go, where you gonna go?
Where you gonna run to when you get to the edge of the night?
It's time you faced the sky

どこへ行こうの? どこへ行こうの?
夜の淵に届いた時 どこへ逃げろうか?
そろそろ空に見上げるごろ


Turn your face towards the sun
Let the shadows fall behind you
Don't look back, just carry on
And the shadows will never find you
[x3]

顔を太陽のほうへ向いて
後ろに影を落として
振り替えないで 続けば
影は君を見つけない
[x3]




* 「私は漕げた」それとも「I've been burned」の英語で意味は日本語の意味からちょっと違いますかも。「漕げた」とは、「痛んだ」とか「傷ついた」と意味しますフレーズです。なんか意味をなさないけど、説明をするのは下手ので申し訳ない

sakanaction 表参道26時 omotesandou 26 ji English translation + romaji lyrics




つまりは心と心 絡み合って切れた
二人は 所々ほつれてる服みたいだ

tsumari wa kokoro to kokoro karamiatte kireta
futari wa tokoro dokoro hotsureteru fuku mitai da

in short, (my) heart has become entangled with another heart and broken off
the two of  us have become frayed here and there, just like clothes


気づいてる 気づいてる 気づいてる二人
気づいてる 気づいてる
気づいてる 気づいているのさ
気づいてる 気づいてる

kidzuiteru kidzuiteru kidzuiteru futari
kidzuiteru kidzuiteru

realizing, realzing, the two of us realize
realizing, realizing
realizing, I'm realizing
realizing, realizing


つまりは心と心で引っ張った故に切れた
となりでそれに気がついたあの子が黙った

tsumari wa kokoro to kokoro de hippatta yue ni kireta
tonari de sore ni ki ga tsuita ano ko ga damatta

in short, (my) heart has been pulled with another heart, therefore being cut off
next to me, the child that noticed it has stayed silent


気づいてる 気づいてる 気づいてる二人
気づいてる 気づいてる
気づいてる 気づいているのさ
気づいてる 気づいてる

kidzuiteru kidzuiteru kidzuiteru futari
kidzuiteru kidzuiteru
kidzuiteru kidzuiteiru no sa
kidzuiteru kidzuiteru

realizing, realzing, the two of us realize
realizing, realizing
realizing, I'm realizing
realizing, realizing


つまらない夜に 話し始めたのはなぜ
意味もないのに 左手で書いた名前
苦笑いして 握りしめた手には汗
表参道の26時が過ぎてく

tsumaranai yoru ni hanashi hajimeta no wa naze
imi mo nai no ni hidarite de kaita namae
nigawarai shite nigirishimeta te ni wa ase
omote sandou no nijuurokuji ga sugiteku

why is it that we've begun to talk in the dull, boring night?
it doesn't make any sense, this name written with my left hand
I smile bitterly, sweat in my tightly balled-up hand
on Omotesando road*, the 26th hour passes by


つまりは心と心の隙間に風が吹いた
二人は所々それを指で塞いだ

tsumari wa kokoro to kokoro no sukima ni kaze ga fuita
futari wa tokoro dokoro sore wo yubi de fusaida

in short, a wind blew through the crevice between the two hearts
the two of us closed it up here and there with our fingers


気づいてる 気づいてる 気づいてる二人
気づいてる 気づいてる
気づいてる 気づいているのさ
気づいてる 気づいてる

kidzuiteru kidzuiteru kidzuiteru futari
kidzuiteru kidzuiteru
kidzuiteru kidzuiteiru no sa
kidzuiteru kidzuiteru

realizing, realzing, the two of us realize
realizing, realizing
realizing, I'm realizing
realizing, realizing


つまらない夜に 話し始めたのはなぜ
グラスで濡れた テーブルを指で拭いた
苦笑いして 握りしめた手には汗
表参道の26時が過ぎてく

tsumaranai yoru no hanashi hajimeta no wa naze
gurasu de nureta teeburu wo yubi de fuita
nigawarai shite nigirishimeta te ni wa ase
omote sandou no nijuurokuji ga sugiteku

why is it that we've begun to talk in the dull, boring night?
a table wet with glass, I wiped it dry with my fingers
I smile bitterly, sweat in my tightly balled-up hand
on the surface of a road to the shrine, the 26th hour passes by


(repeat 1st chorus)



* Omotesandou literally means "the face of a road approaching a shrine" and I stupidly translated it literally as that without realizing it's actually an avenue in Tokyo. So it may mean either or! (Probably the latter though)
