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

Samuelle サムエル Believe in Love English lyrics (+ romaji lyrics)

an amazing artist that I only just came across last year. gosh it was a pain trying to read some of the kanji for the lyrics, haha, but I managed to write all the lyrics down correctly! so here it is I guess.

Samuelle is one of the only Christian Japanese artists i've seen out there. 頑張れサムエルさん！！諦めないでください！

涙が止めどなく溢れて眠れぬ夜
誰にもすがれない孤独を抱えたまま

namida ga tomedo naku afurete nemurenu yoru
dare ni mo sugarenai kodoku wo kakaeta mama

on the sleepless nights where endless tears overflow
the times where you carried loneliness that wouldn't rely on anyone


答えは何処にあるのか
捜し求めていた
そんな時　心に静かな声がした

kotae wa doko ni aru no ka
sagashi motometeita
sonna toki kokoro ni shizuka na koe ga shita

is there an answer somewhere?
I've been searching for it
at such a time, there came a quiet voice in my heart*



あなたは独りじゃない
あなたは愛されている
あなたのその涙　悲しみを知ってる人がいるから
あなたがどこにいても　あなたを守ってる
ただそう信じて委ねてゆこう
Just believe in love

anata wa hitori ja nai
anata wa aisareteiru
anata no sono namida kanashimi wo shitteru hito ga iru kara
anata ga doko ni itemo anata wo mamotteru
tada sou shinjite yudanete yukou
Just believe in love

you are not alone
you are loved
because there is someone who knows the sorrow of those tears of yours
no matter where you are, (He) protects you
I will only believe and go devote myself
Just believe in love



雲が覆っている空の向こう
青空があると信じながら
ただ静かに待ち望む強さを
どうか　与えて下さい

kumo ga ootteiru sora no mukou
ao sora ga aru to shinjinagara
tada shizuka ni machi nozomu tsuyosa wo
douka ataete kudasai

the clouds are capsizing beyond the sky
while I'm believing that there's a blue sky
the strength that I am yearning for in the quiet
somehow, please give it to me**



あなたは独りじゃない
あなたは愛されている
あなたのその傷ついた心を知ってる人がいるから
あなたが離れてても　いつでも待っている
永遠に変わらない愛を
注いでくれてるから
あなたは愛されている
そう信じて
Always be in love

anata wa hitori ja nai
anata wa aisareteiru
anata no sono kizu tsuita kokoro wo shitteru hito ga iru kara
anata ga hanaretetemo itsudemo matteiru
eien ni kawaranai ai wo
sosoide kureteru kara
anata wa aisareteru
sou shinjite
Always be in love

you are not alone
you are loved
because there is someone who understands that wounded heart of yours
even if you are separated, (He) will always be waiting
the love that will not change for all eternity;
because it is being poured into me
you are loved
yes, believe
Always be in love







translation notes:

* or, "a quiet voice in my heart said". this is one of those things in Japanese where i understand the feeling but I can't translate it into good english ARRGGHHHH

** this sounds kinda pushy in English, but he says it very politely, and the verb he uses (ataeru/ataete) means to give as a gift or reward.

インカーネイション Incarnation 初音ミク English translation + romaji

one of my favorite (and first!) songs featuring 初音ミク by one of my favorite vocaloid artists out there, HanasoumenP. also, this song can be found on iTunes. enjoy!

誰にも届かない 我がままな願いを
小さな身体で 守り続けている
いずれ忘れられて 消されてしまうなら
今だけこのまま 夢を見させていて ああ

dare ni mo todokanai wagamama na negai wo
chiisana karada de mamori tsudzuketeiru
izure wasurerarete kesarete shimau nara
ima dake kono mama yume wo misaseteite aa

Selfish wishes won't reach anyone
I continue to protect them inside this small body
If at some point you forget and extinguish it
Right now, as it is, let me see the dream, ah


闇に惑いながら ひとつだけ気づいた
足踏みしてても 奇跡は起きないと
迷いを振り切って 走り出してみれば
行き着く明日は 色鮮やかになるかな

yami ni madoinagara hitotsu dake kidzuita
ashibumi shitetemo kiseki wa okinai to
mayoi wo furikitte hashiridashite mireba
yukitsuku ashita wa iro azayaka ni naru ka na

While being puzzled by the darkness, I realized only one thing
That even if I keep stepping on, the miracle will not wake
If you shake off the confusion and begin to run,
Will the arriving tomorrow turn into a vivid color?



次元を越え インカーネイションして
あなたに会いにいこう
どうしてだろう 未知の世界さえ
不思議と怖くない

jigen wo koe, inkaaneeshon shite
anata ni ai ni ikou
doushite darou michi no sekai sae
fushigi to kowakunai

Crossing over dimensions, incarnation*
I'll go to meet you
Why is it that even worlds that are not yet known
are not afraid of wonders?



子どものように 泣いてばかりいた
昨日を脱ぎ捨てて
生まれ変わる 光をまとった
新しい自分へと

kodomo no you ni naite bakari ita
kinou wo nugisutete
umarekawaru hikari wo matotta
atarashii jibun he to

Like a child, all I did was cry
Throw away yesterday
Being born again, I wore light
I'll go to my new self


目を閉じても手をつなげるほど
近くに寄り添って
未来を行く二人の姿を
確かにしたいんだ

me wo tojitemo te wo tsunageru hodo
chikaku ni yorisotte
mirai wo yuku futari no sugata wo
tashika ni shitainda

Even if I close my eyes, connecting hands
I'll draw near
The figure of us two heading for our future
I certainly want to do that







translation notes:

* this is a weird sentence to translate because it's using an english word (incarnation) and adding "shite" onto the end, which is a suru verb. so literally it kind of means "doing incarnation". but in english we don't use incarnation as a verb, so it sounds kinda awkward!! I'm safely assuming she's meaning to say that she's "incarnating" herself (or something else, what it is that is being "incarnated" is not specified) but i can't be sure.

** since no kanji was used for this verb (which i am not familiar with) I looked it up in a dictionary. "matou" means to wear, put on, be clad in, etc etc. she's wearing light, pretty much.

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

きゃりーぱみゅぱみゅ【ゆめのはじまりんりん】 English translation lyrics (+ romaji)

i connect with this song on so many levels

今まで色んなほんといい思い出たち
トランクに押し込み忘れはしないよ
これから未来は自分次第なのでしょ
わくわくの切符を買いに行くよ

ima made ironna honto ii omoidetachi
toranku ni oshikomi wasure wa shinai yo
kore kara mirai wa jibun jidai nano desho
waku waku no kippu wo kai ni yuku yo

Up until now, I've had various good memories
I won't forget to close them up in my trunk
From here on, my future is dependent upon myself
I'm going now to buy a ticket of excitement



グッバイティーチャー

旅立ちの際のどきどき

僕だけの部屋からゆめがはじまりんりん

goodbye teacher
my friends
tabidachi no sai no dokidoki
suppai kyandii no rippusu
shiranai tokai ni gokitai
goodbye teacher
my friends
arigatou yuuki kudasai
boku dake no heya kara yume ga hajimarinrin

Goodbye, teacher
My friends
When I depart, my heart will be pounding*
Sour candy lips
I have hopes for an unknown city
Goodbye, teacher
My friends
Thank you, please have courage
From the room that is only mine, my dreams are beginning to ring, ring**



これまで毎日歩いたこの道
しばらく見られないさみしく思うよ
明日に期待と不安を感じて
さよなら必ず叶えたいから

kore made mainichi aruita kono michi
shibaraku mirarenai samishiku omou yo
ashita ni kitai to fuan wo kanjite
sayonara kanarazu kanaetai kara

So far, this road that I've walked on every day
I think I won't be able to see loneliness for a while
I feel the hopes and anxiety for tomorrow
Farewell, because I want to fulfill them by all means***



グッバイティーチャー
マイフレンズ
旅立ちの際のどきどき
すっぱいキャンディーのリップス
知らない都会にご期待
グッバイティーチャー

ありがとう勇気ください
僕だけの部屋からゆめがはじまりんりん

goodbye teacher
my friends
tabidachi no sai no dokidoki

goodbye teacher
my friends
arigatou yuuki kudasai

Goodbye, teacher
My friends
When I depart, my heart will be pounding
Sour candy lips
I have hopes for an unknown city
Goodbye, teacher
My friends
Thank you, please have courage
From the room that is only mine, my dreams are beginning to ring, ring






translation notes:

* "doki doki" literally is the sound of a heart beating. it means she's excited or nervous.

** I'm pretty sure this is a pun. the noun "hajimari" (beginning) comes from the verb "hajimaru" which means to begin, and "rinrin" is the ringing of a bell (rin by itself means bell, actually!) it sounds somewhat similar to English, doesn't it?

*** she does not specify what she wants to "fulfill" or "grant", but in this context I'm pretty sure she is talking about her hopes and dreams

「ありのままで」"Let It Go" Japanese dub English translation (+ romaji)

yo raise your hand if you can still stand listening to anything from Frozen! ...guys?? you're not... you're not raising your hands? just me? okay

降り始めた雪は 足跡消して

真っ白な世界に一人の私

風が心にささやくの

このままじゃだめなんだと

furihajimeta yuki wa ashiato keshite

masshiro na sekai ni hitori no watashi

kaze ga kokoro ni sasayaku no

kono mama ja, dame nanda to

The snow that began to fall erases (my) footprints

I am all alone in a pure-white world

The wind whispers to my heart

I can't be like this anymore

戸惑い傷つき

誰にも打ち明けずに

悩んでたそれももう

やめよう

tomadoi, kizutsuki

dare ni mo uchiakezu ni

nayandeta sore mo mou

yameyou

I've lost my bearings, I'm hurt

I shouldn't open my heart to anyone

I was so troubled, but that, too

I shall stop!

ありのままの 姿見せるのよ

ありのままの 自分になるの

何も恐くない

風よ吹け

少しも寒くないわ

ari no mama no sugata miseru no yo

ari no mama no jibun ni naru no

nani mo kowakunai

kaze yo fuke

sukoshi mo samukunai wa

I will show you who I truly look like*

I will become who I truly am

I am afraid of nothing!

Blow, wind!

It's not even a little bit cold

悩んでたことが嘘みたいね

だってもう自由よ

何でも出来る

nayandeta koto ga uso mitai ne

datte mou jiyuu yo

nandemo dekiru

The things I worried about seem like lies, don't they?

But anyways, I'm free now

I can do anything!

どこまでやれるか

自分を試したいの

そうよ変わるのよ 私

doko made yareru ka

jibun wo tameshitai no

sou yo kawaru no yo watashi

Until where can I do all this?

I want to test myself

That's right, I'm changing

ありのままで 空へ風に乗って

ありのままで 飛び出してみるよ

二度と涙は 流さないわ

ari no mama de sora he kaze ni notte

ari no mama de tobidashite miru yo

nido to namida wa nagasanai wa

Truly, as it is, I will ride the wind in the sky

Truly, as it is, I will try to fly away

I will not shed any tears a second time

冷たく大地を包み込み

高く舞い上がる思い出描いて

花咲く氷の結晶のように

輝いていたい

もう決めたの

tsumetaku taichi wo tsutsumikomi

tataku maiagaru omoide kaite

hanasaku koori no keshou no you ni

kagayaiteitai

mou kimeta no

I wrap up the freezing cold earth

and draw the memories that are soaring tall

and like the crystallization of a blooming icicle,

I want to shine bright!

I have already decided!

これでいいの

自分を好きになって

これでいいの

自分を信じて

kore de ii no

jibun wo suki ni natte

kore de ii no

jibun wo shinjite

This is fine**

I will love myself***

This is fine

Believe in yourself!

光浴びながら

歩き出そう

少しも寒くないわ

hikari abinagara

aruki dasou

sukoshi mo samukunai wa

As I'm being bathed in light,

I shall walk!

It's not even a little bit cold

translation notes:

* the title of the song "ari no mama", is a phrase I am not familiar with! but apparently it loosely translates to "the truth is" "as it is" or "frankly/to be truthful", so i tried to translate it to the best of my ability in English.

** or more literally "(I'm) good with this", "I'm fine with this", "this is good/sufficient" etc etc

*** "jibun wo suki ni natte" and "jibun wo shinjite" literally mean "love yourself" and "believe in yourself", but in this context Elsa is kind of trying to tell herself that, so I translated it to make a little more sense context-wise.

HSP ワンダーガール English translation + romaji lyrics

this is really catchy. yeah...

重なった景色を見つめていた midnight

高まった鼓動を聞いて？

少し濡れた唇は誰のものでもないの

鳥籠に閉じこめられた愛を解き放って

kasanatta keshiki wo mitsumeteita midnight

takamatta kodou wo kiite?

sukoshi nureta kuchibiru wa dare no mono demo nai no

torikago ni tojikomerareta ai wo tokihanatte

A midnight that had been staring at the overlapping landscapes

Do you hear my quickening heartbeat?

Lips that are a little dampened aren't anyone else's

Free the love that is imprisoned in this bird cage

wander girl　あたしの声溶けてゆくこの街角に

wander girl　素足のまま歩いてくそう lighting road

wander girl　躍らせてよ星が降るこのステージで

wander girl　今夜はまだ眠れない

あたしはそう　wander girl

wander girl  atashi no koe tokete yuku  kono machikado ni

wander girl  suashi no mama aruiteku sou  lightning road

wander girl  odorasete yo  hoshi ga furu kono suteeji de

wander girl  konya wa mada nemurenai

atashi wa sou wander girl

Wander girl - my voice melts into the street corner

Wander girl - seems like I'm walking with bare feet on a lightning road

Wander girl - dance! stars fall onto this stage

Wander girl - I still cannot sleep tonight

I am surely a wander girl

お気に入りだった Music　流れていた Oneday

握り締めた夢を捨てて

指先そっと熱くなる　秘密の暗号のように

混ざり合うパズルのピース　早く見つけ出して

oki ni iridatta music nagareteita oneday

nigirishimeta yume wo sutete

yubisaki sotto atsuku naru  himitsu no angou no you ni

mazari au pazuru no piisu  hayaku mitsukedashite

The music I liked, one day that was flowing

Throw away the dreams you once grasped tightly

My fingertips slowly become hot, like a secret code

Hurry and find the pieces of this mixed-up puzzle

wonderland　見たことない星空を眺めていたの

wonderland　アナタはどこ？手探りで NO,NO,One more time

wonderland　翼もない鳥のよう悲しすぎるわ

wonderland　捜してるのアナタだけ

あたしはもう wonder girl

wonderland  mita koto nai hoshi wo nagameteita no

wonderland  anata wa doko? tesaguri de  NO, NO, one more time

wonderland  tsubasa mo nai tori no you kanashisugiru wa

wonderland  sagashiteru no anata dake

atashi wa mou wonder girl

Wonderland - I hadn't seen it, I was staring at the starry sky

Wonderland - where are you? I'm fumbling for you - no, no, one more time

Wonderland - like a wingless bird, I am so sorrowful

Wonderland - it's only you I'm searching for

I am that wonder girl!*

wander girl　あたしの声溶けてゆくこの街角に

wander girl　素足のまま歩けない暗闇を

wander girl　踊りたいのアナタとのあの夜のように

wander girl　今夜はもう眠れない

あたしはそう　wander girl

wander girl  atashi no koe tokete yuku  kono machikado ni

wander girl  suashi no mama arukenai kurayami wo

wander girl  odoritai no anata no ano yoru no you ni

wander girl  konya wa mou nemurenai

atashi wa sou wander girl

Wander girl - my voice melts into the street corner

Wander girl - I can't walk barefooted like this through the darkness

Wander girl - like that night when I wanted to dance with you

Wander girl - I cannot sleep tonight!

I am surely a wander girl

* translation note: in Japanese, she says "atashi wa mou wander girl". "mou" is commonly used to express frustration or anger (although i think it can mean other things in different contexts too). and so "mou" is seen in one of the last lines of the song where she sings: "konya wa mou nemurenai" or "I can't sleep tonight"

Ashitaka and San (Vocal) English translation

the beautiful theme song for the cute couple from the movie Princess Mononoke.

I found that someone had written down the lyrics here (although it appears they wrote them from trying to listen to the song, so they may be inaccurate, in which case, i am sorry if this translation is inaccurate as well)

はるか彼方に ねむる人よ
瞳とじればひろがる
あの日のやさしい声
永遠の光が 土にかえるように
大地の ゆるしが とどくまで

haruka kanata ni nemuru hito yo
hitomi tojireba hirogaru
ano hi no yasashii koe
eien no hikari ga tsuchi ni kaeru you ni
daichi no yurushi ga todoku made

Far away, on the other side, is a sleeping person
If you close your eyes, it spreads out
The gentle voice of that day
It seems like eternal light is returning to the earth
Until it reaches the forgiveness of the earth


しんじて ともに生きること
そして 生まれるつよさ
みあげて 遠くをはなれても
心をひとつにむすぶ 愛 希望のそら

shinjite, tomo ni ikiru koto
soshite umareru tsuyosa
miagete, tooku wo hanaretemo
kokoro wo hitotsu ni musubu ai, kibou no sora

Believe in living together
And in the strength that is born
Look up, even if you go far away
A love that binds (two) hearts into one, a sky of hope
