【初音ミクappend】 whoo 虹 niji (rainbow) English translation + romaji

i really like whoo's songs.


溶けて消えた声と 追い越すような風で 
フロントガラスには 張り付くような雨が

tokete kieta koe to oikosu you na kaze de
furonto garasu ni wa haritsuku you na ame ga

voices that melted and disappeared, with the wind that seemed to pass
the rain appears to be clinging to my windshield


僕らは忘れてしまいそうで、 
慌てて見上げた空に消えた星屑から 
それはまるで橋をかけたみたいな虹があって 
目を瞑った

bokura wa wasurete shimaisou de
awatete miageta sora ni kieta hoshikuzu kara
sore wa marude hashi wo kaketa mitai na niji ga atte
me wo tsubutta

it looks like we're forgetting
from the stardust that disappeared in the sky we hurried and looked up at
there was a rainbow that looked like it had crossed a bridge*
we closed our eyes



僕らは忘れてしまいそうで 
慌てて見上げた空に消えた星屑から 
それはまるで橋をかけたみたいな虹があって 
目を瞑った

bokura wa wasurete shimaisou de
awatete miageta sora ni kieta hoshikuzu kara
sore wa marude hashi wo kaketa mitai na eji ga atte
me wo tsubutta

it looks like we're forgetting
from the stardust that disappeared in the sky we hurried and looked up at
there was a rainbow that looked like it had crossed a bridge*
we closed our eyes


そのすべてがぼくらの世界を覆いかぶさるように広がる 
瞬きするまもなく溢れて溺れるような 虹が曇り空、包み込んだ

sono subete ga bokura no sekai wo ooikabusaru you ni hirogaru
matataki suru ma mo naku afurete oboreru you na niji ga kumorizora tsutsumikonda

all of that spreads out to cover our world
in the blink of an eye, the rainbow that looked to be overflowing and nearly drowning, wrapped up the cloudy sky

トラベリングムード Traveling Mood English translation (+ romaji lyrics)

another song by the vocaloid artist whoo which can also be found on iTunes.


今から何処か遠くの方へ行ける気がした だけさ
ima kara dokoka tooku no hou he ikeru ki ga shita dake sa

since now I've gotten the feeling to go somewhere far away, that's all



かさついた 揺れる葉音が
暮れた夏の陽射し 波立たせた
ふらついた 揺らぐ足音
辿るように ペダルを漕いだ
巡る季節が 車輪のようだね
...坂道、

kasa tsuita yureru ha oto ga
kureta natsu no hizashi namidataseta
furatsuita yuragu ashioto
tadoru you ni pedaru wo koida
meguru kisetsu ga sharin no you da ne
...sakamichi

they hit my umbrella; the sound of leaves
the sunlight of this darkened summer ripples in waves
I felt giddy, footsteps swaying
I pedaled to follow a path*
these rotating seasons are like a car wheel, aren't they
...the hill road



今から何処か 遠くの方へ 行ける気がした
そしたら僕ら
僕らの日々は あの雲のように流れた

ima kara dokoka tooku no hou he ikeru ki ga shita
soshitara bokura
bokura no hibi wa ano kumo no you ni nagareta

from now on I've gotten the feeling to go somewhere far away
then us
our days have washed away like that cloud



君の頬が 空の色をしてる
(見えるよ。)

kimi no kao ga sora no iro wo shiteru
(mieru yo.)

your face turns the color of the sky
(and I can see it.)



月明かりを遮ろうとして
撫でるような風、
そよぐ短い髪に触れ 髪に触れながら
僕は思い出そうとしていた。
そしていつしか 言葉かすれて 忘れてしまうよ

tsukiakari wo saegirou to shite
naderu you na kaze
soyogu mijikai kami ni fure, kami ni furenagara
boku wa omoidasou to shiteita.
soshite itsushika kotoba kasurete wasurete shimau yo

I try to block the light of the moon
a softly caressing wind
touches your short, fluttering hair, and while touching your hair
I tried to remember.
and before I know it, my words crack, and I completely forget


そしたら僕に 何も言わずに そっと手を握って
そっと手を握って
そっと手を握って
あの雲のように ほら

soshitara boku ni nani mo iwazu ni sotto te wo nigitte
sotto te wo nigitte
sotto te wo nigitte
ano kumo no you ni, hora

then we, without saying anything, softly grasp hands
softly hold hands
softly hold hands
like that cloud, look!





translation notes:

* she actually says "as if/to follow (a path/etc), I pedaled the pedals" or something like that. japanese is weird

音のない部屋の中で (In the middle of a room with no sound) English translation + romaji lyrics

whoo is a wonderful vocaloid artist whose songs i've had the pleasure of stumbling across and listening to! this is just one of many that I love. you can also buy it on iTunes so. go. buy it when you feel sad and eat ice cream while you listen to it or something.

(oh yeah, this is probably worth mentioning: the name of this song on iTunes is "oto no nai heya no naka de" and bears the same name as the album it's on.)



晴天の宇宙に潜って
数えきれないほどの星
掬い上げては零れ落ちてゆく
黒画用紙に染め上げるように

seiten no uchuu ni mogutte
kazoe kirenai hodo no hoshi
sukuiagete wa kobore ochite yuku
kuro gayoushi ni some ageru you ni

dive into a universe of fine weather
into the countless stars
scoop them up, they're overflowing and falling
as if giving color to black drawing paper


星屑の点と点を結んで
幾つかその上から書き足して
僕と君が作り上げた宇宙で
夜空を埋める枯葉みたいな 魚の群れが
目を離した隙に また浮かび上がろうとしていたんだ

hoshikuzu no ten to ten wo musunde
ikutsuka sono ue kara kaki tashite
boku to kimi ga tsukuri ageta uchuu de
yozora wo umeru kareha mitai na sakana no mure ga
me wo hanashita suki ni mata ukabi agerou to shiteitanda

I tie specks of stardust together*
from the top of them I add writing
in the universe that you and I made
the schools of fish look kinda like the dead leaves that fill up the night sky
they are once again rising to the surface of the space I took my eyes off of



溢れ出した言葉 風の音に攫われ
見上げた月に影 溺れるような夜
カーテンを開けば 窓の外すべてを
覆い隠すような虹 手をつないで駆け上ったまま

afuredashita kotoba, kaze no ne ni saraware
miageta tsuki ni kage, oboreru you na yoru
kaaten wo hirakeba, mado no soto subete wo
ooi kakusu you na niji, te wo tsunaide kakeagatta mama

my overflowing words run away with the sound of the wind
I gazed up at the shadow on the moon that seems to drown the night**
if I open up the curtains, everything outside the window
appears to be a rainbow hiding shrouds, we're holding hands and running up


僕と君が作り上げた こんなに狭い宇宙船に乗り込んで
かつて見た夢のままの世界に転がり落ちていくように僕らは

boku to kimi ga tsukuriageta konna ni semai uchuusen ni norikonde
katsute mita yume no mama no sekai ni korogari ochiteiku you ni bokura wa

you and I board the very confined spaceship that you and I built
and it's like we're tumbling down into the world of a dream I saw once







translation notes:

* the line here is "hoshikuzu no ten to ten wo musunde" which literally means something more like "I tie speck (of stardust) with speck" or "I tie specks of stardust with (other) specks of stardust". it's a very pretty lyric in Japanese but it is unfortunately hard for me to translate into equally beautiful English.

** or "the night that seems to be drowned in the shadow on the moon I looked up at" something like that. I may be incorrect. sorry
