SHIKI【初音ミク】SETSUNA English translation + romaji lyrics

this was one of the first songs in Japanese that I ever listened to (you can actually buy it on iTunes, which is where i originally found it) and although listening to it sometimes gives me bittersweet cringe-worthy memories, it was and remains one of my top favorites. i hope you enjoy it just as much as i enjoy it every time i hear it!




巡り来る季節に君は少しだけ うつむきがちな視線を空に向ける
重なった季節が時を告げて まだ思い出せる君の記憶
旅立ちはいつだって窓の向こうから 真夜中の月明かり膝に落とす
擦れ違った言葉でキズつけても 忘れられない瞳はまだ…

megurikuru kisetsu ni kimi wa sukoshi dake utsumukigachi na shisen wo sora ni mukeru
kasanatta kisetsu ga toki wo tsugete, mada omoidaseru kimi no kioku
tabidachi wa itsudatte mado no mukou kara mayonaka no tsukiakari hiza ni otosu
surechigatta kotoba de kizutsuketemo wasurerarenai hitomi wa mada...

in the seasons that come around, you turn your downwards glance up towards the sky just a little
the overlapped seasons inform time, your memories are still remembered
the beginning of this journey is always when the midnight moonlight falls on my knees from beyond the window
even though I hurt with disagreeing words, my eyes are still unforgotten...



隠していた心を君のために確かめたい
夜明け前の光でアナタだけをただ見つめる

kakushiteita kokoro wo kimi no tame ni tashikametai
yoake mae no hikari de anata dake wo tada mitsumeru

I want to be sure of my hidden heart for your sake
staring only at you with the light before dawn



Any time , stay beside me...
君に目を合わせられない これ以上隠し切れない
Any time , heart beside me...
サヨナラさえも言えない 1人きりで声無くして
Any night , stay beside me...
君の心に届いた 信じていた夢抱えて
Any night , heart beside me...
サヨナラだけは言えない『偶然』それだけで良かった
君に向けた視線は届くこともないまま 思いを遠く響かせて…

any time, stay beside me
kimi ni me wo awaserarenai, kore ijou kakushi kirenai
any time, heart beside me
sayonara sae mo ienai, hitori kiri de koe nakushite
any night, stay beside me
kimi no kokoro ni todoita, shinjiteita yume kakaete
any night, heart beside me
sayonara dake wa ienai "guuzen" sore dake de yokatta
kimi ni muketa shisen wa todoku koto mo nai mama omoi wo tooku hibikasete...

any time, stay beside me
my eyes cannot be matched with you, I can't hide it, it's too much
any time, heart beside me
I can't even say goodbye, all by myself, I lose my voice
any night, stay beside me
it went through your heart, in my arms I hold the dream I believed in
any night, heart beside me
I can't just say goodbye, I'm glad that it was just by chance
my gaze that turned to you still cannot reach you, emotions being resounded far away...



戻らない季節は赤く染められて 悪戯な足跡を君は辿る
失った季節は闇の中へ 夜に抱かれて消えてしまう
『孤独』『嘘』『悲壮感』籠の鳥の様 時間凍らせたまま作る笑顔
君が描いた想い空に向けて 風に残された記憶さえも…

modoranai kisetsu wa akaku somerarete, itarazu na ashiato wo kimi wa tadoru
ushinatta kisetsu wa yami no naka he yoru ni idakarete kiete shimau
"kodoku" "uso" "hisoukan" kago no tori no you, jikan kooraseta mama tsukuru egao
kimi ga egaita omoi sora ni mukte, kaze ni nokosareta kioku sae mo...

seasons that won't turn back are dyed red, and you're following trick footprints
the seasons I lost embrace the night and disappear into the darkness
"loneliness" "lies" "a grim feeling" like a bird in a cage, a smile built from the frozen-up time
the emotions you drew turn to the sky, even the memories left behind by the wind, too...



閉ざしていた瞳は 君の影を追い駆けてる
鈍色に光る羽 君がくれた希望だから

tozashiteita hitomi wa kimi no kage wo oikaketeru
nibiiro ni hikaru hane, kimi ga kureta kibou da kara

my eyes I had closed chase after your shadow
feathers that shine dark gray, the hope that you gave



Any time , stay beside me...
何時でも信じていたい 月の下独りきりでも
Any time , heart beside me...
君が立ち止まる瞬間 何も言えず差し出す手が
Any night , stay beside me...
両手いっぱいの花束 君無しじゃ抱えきれない
Any night , heart beside me...
少しだけ時を止めて 叶わない願いを信じて
自然に落ちた花びら零れる涙のように 巡る季節は過ぎ去る

any time, stay beside me
itsudemo shinjiteitai, tsuki no shita hitori kiri demo
any time, heart beside me
kimi ga tachitomaru shunkan, nani mo iezu sashidasu te ga
any night, stay beside me
ryoute ippai no hanataba kimi nashi ja kakaekirenai
any night, heart beside me
sukoshi dake toki wo tomete, kanawanai negai wo shinjite
shizen ni ochita hanabira koboreru namida no you ni meguru kisetsu wa sugisaru

any time, stay beside me
I want to believe it all the time, even when I'm all alone beneath the moon
any time, heart beside me
the moment you stop and stand still, the hand I hold out without saying anything
any night, stay beside me
both hands full with a bunch of flowers, without you, I can't hold them all
any night, heart beside me
stop just a little bit of time and believe in the wish that doesn't come true
flower petals that fell so smoothly like tears spilling out, the circling seasons pass away



巡り来る季節に君は少しだけ うつむきがちな視線を空に向ける
重なった季節が時を告げて まだ思い出せる君の記憶
旅立ちはいつだって窓の向こうから 真夜中の月明かり膝に落とす
擦れ違った言葉でキズつけても 忘れられない瞳はまだ…

megurikuru kisetsu ni kimi wa sukoshi dake utsumukigachi na shisen wo sora ni mukeru
kasanatta kisetsu ga toki wo tsugete, mada omoidaseru kimi no kioku
tabidachi wa itsudatte mado no mukou kara mayonaka no tsukiakari hiza ni otosu
surechigatta kotoba de kizutsuketemo wasurerarenai hitomi wa mada...

「バンプ・オブ・チキン」宇宙飛行士への手紙 uchuu hikoushi he no tegami (a letter to an astronaut) English translation + romaji

why does this seem like such a sad song



踵が2つ 煉瓦の道 雨と晴れの隙間で歌った
匂いもカラ一で思い出せる 今が未来だった頃の事

kakato ga futatsu, renga no michi, ame to hare no sukima de utatta
nioi mo karaa de omoidaseru, ima ga mirai datta koro no koto

two feet on a brick road, with the crevice of rain and sun I sang
with smells and with color I can remember of the time when today was the future



蜘蛛の巣みたいな稲妻が 空を粉々に砕いて消えた
ジャンル分け出来ないドキドキ 幼い足 ただ走らせた
どうやったって無理なんだ 知らない記憶を知る事は
言葉で伝えても 伝わったのは言葉だけ

kumo no su mitai na inazuma ga sora wo konagona ni kudaite kieta
janru wake dekinai doki doki, osanai ashi tada hashiraseta
dou yatta tte muri nanda, shiranai kioku wo shiru koto wa
kotoba de tsutaetemo tsutawatta no wa kotoba dake

the spiderweb-like flash of lightning broke the sky into small pieces and vanished
unable to divide them into genres, my heart throbbing, with my young legs I simply ran
asking "how'd you do it?" would be useless, things like knowing of uknown memories
even though I communicate with words, the only things that were transmitted were words



出来るだけ離れないで いたいと願うのは
出会う前の君に 僕は絶対出会えないから
今もいつか過去になって 取り戻せなくなるから
それが未来の 今のうちに ちゃんと取り戻しておきたいから

dekiru dake hanarenaide, itai to negau no wa
deau mae no kimi ni boku wa zettai deaenai kara
ima mo itsuka kako ni natte, torimodosenaku naru kara
sore ga mirai no ima no uchi ni chanto torimodoshite okitai kara

if it's possible at all, don't leave, I'm just wishing you would stay
you, back before we met, because I can never meet you
even now someday will become the past and become unable to bring back
cause within the present time of this future I want to get it back



ひっくり返した砂時計 同じ砂が刻む違う2分
全てはかけがえのないもの そんなの誰だって知っている
トリケラトプスに触りたい ふたご座でのんびり地球が見たい
貰った時間で出来るかな長いのかな 短いのかな

hikkuri kaeshita sunadokei, onaji suna ga kizamu chigau nifun
subete wa kakegae no nai mono, sonna no dare datte shitteiru
torikeratopusu ni sawaritai, futago za de nonbiri chikyuu ga mitai
moratta jikan de dekiru ka na, nagai no ka na, mijikai no ka na

a knocked-over hourglass, 2 minutes to engrave and differentiate the same sand
all of these are things that can't be replaced, such things that everyone knows about
I want to touch a triceratops and see a carefree earth through the eyes of twins
I wonder, can I do it with the time I've got? will it be a long time or will it be short?



どこにだって一緒に行こう お揃いの記憶を集めよう
何回だって話をしよう 忘れないように教え合おう

doko ni datte issho ni ikou, osoroi no kioku wo atsumeyou
nankai datte hanashi wo shiyou, wasurenai you ni oshieaou

wherever it may be, we'll go there together and collect the same memories
no matter how many times, I'll talk with you, uniting and teaching so that we won't forget



死ぬまでなんて噓みたいな事を 本気で思うのは
生きている君に 僕はこうして出会えたんだから
そしていつか星になって また一人になるから
笑い合った 今はきっと 後ろから照らしてくれるから

shinu made nante uso mitai na koto wo honki de omou no wa
ikiteiru kimi ni boku wa koushite deaetandakara
soshite itsuka hoshi ni natte, mata hitori ni naru kara
waraiatta ima wa kitto, ushiro kara terashite kureru kara

until I die I'll think of the things that seem like lies with seriousness
thus I was able to meet you, you who were alive
and so someday I'll become a star and be alone again
we laughed together, but surely right now something from behind me is shining on



出来るだけ離れないで いたいと願うのは
出会う前の傷を 僕にそっと見せてくれたから
死ぬまでなんて噓みたいな事を 本気で思うのは
生きようとして 生き抜いた 稲妻を一緒に見られたから

dekiru dake hanarenaide, itai to negau no wa
deau mae no kizu wo boku ni sotto misete kureta kara
shinu made nante uso mitai na koto wo honki de omou no wa
ikiyou to shite, ikinuita, inazuma wo issho ni mirareta kara

if it's possible at all, don't leave, I'm just wishing you would stay
because these wounds, back before we met, were slowly shown to me
until I die I'll think of the the things that seem like lies with seriousness
trying to live, we survived, we were able to watch the lightning together



ラララ
rarara
la la la



そしていつか星になって また一人になるから
笑い合った 過去がずっと 未来まで守ってくれるから

soshite itsuka hoshi ni natte, mata hitori ni naru kara
waraiatta, kako ga zutto, mirai made mamotte kureru kara

and so someday I'll become a star and be alone again
we laughed together, because until the future comes, I'll always be protecting the past



踵が4つ 煉瓦の道 明日と昨日の隙間で歌った
全てはかけがえのないもの 言葉でしか知らなかった事

kakato ga yottsu, renga no michi, asu to kinou no sukima de utatta
subete wa kakegae no nai mono, kotoba de shika shiranakatta koto

four feet on a brick road, with the crevice of tomorrow and yesterday I sang
all of these are things that can't be replaced, the things that were only unknown with words

菅野よう子とPOP ETC【is】残響のテロルより|英語から日本語訳

いつもアニメが好きじゃなかったけれど早くこのアニメを好きになっています。音楽もオリジナル曲も好きになったので、POP ETCの曲の訳書を作ってみたかった。間違いを見つけたなら知らせてください。ありがとうございます



someone tell me how I got here
from the city to this frontier
all the noises join to make harmony

誰か、ここに来た理由を知らせて
都会からこの地方へ
全ての音は調和するのために一緒になる


I've been stranded on an island
where I roam without direction
is that the wind lifting me up?

島に一人で生きるんだね
方位もなく彷徨う場所
僕を乗せるものは、風かな?


spirits flying at the speed of light
(at the speed of light)
traveling like a dream one night
this hole in my heart's proof of life
life goes on
and the people sing their song

光のスピードに飛んでいる魂
(光のスピードに)
ある夜夢みたいに旅行している
心の洞は人生がある証拠
人生つづく*
自分の歌を歌っている


love and hate together
they can make harmony

愛と憎悪は
調和することができる


plunging back into the darkness
it's not pain, it's just uncertainty
I know my heart's missing her piece
but it still beats

また暗闇に飛び込んで
苦しさじゃないけど、自信なしだけ
僕の心は、彼女の切れを無くしたと分かるけど
まだ心音





* "life goes on"って、この話は、何でも起きても、わるいことが起きても、世界中は大丈夫になっておりますと意味する話です。

「バンプ・オブ・チキン」 友達の唄 tomodachi no uta (friend song) English translation + romaji

this one was a little harder to translate but I still like it a lot



あなたが大きくなるまでに雨の日なんて何度もある
その中の一度は一緒に濡れた事忘れちゃうかな
遠回りしちゃったけど友達になれたのかな
お別れしたって覺えていられれば大丈夫なのかな

anata ga ookiku naru made ni ame no hi nante nandomo aru
sono naka ni ichido wa issho ni nureta koto wasurechau ka na
toomawari shichatta kedo tomodachi ni nareta no ka na
owakare shita tte oboeteirarereba, daijoubu na no ka na

until you grow bigger, there will be many rainy days
I wonder if you forgot that one time when we were soaked in the middle of one such day
I took a detour, but did I ever experience being a friend?
when I remember that you said farewell to me, I wonder if you're all right



空の冷たかった手が
初めて掴んだ手に
消えていく時間の中
引っ張られて走った
帰り道を探して

kara no tsumetakatta te ga
hajimete tsukanda te ni
kieteiku jikan no naka
hippararete hashitta
kaerimichi wo sagashite

my hands that were cold from the emptiness
for the first time in my held hand
in the middle of disappearing time
I ran, being dragged along
finding the way back home



今 私が泣いていても
あなたの記憶の中では
どうかあなたと 同じ笑顏で
時々でいいから 思い出してね

ima watashi ga naiteitemo
anata no kioku no naka de wa
dou ka anata to onaji egao de
tokidoki de ii kara, omoidashite ne

now, even though I cry
within your memories
somehow with the same smiling face as you
I'm fine with it sometimes, remember that



怖がりで優しいから
怒った事は何度もない
その中の一度をあの時くれた事
震えていた聲

kowagari de yasashii kara
okotta koto wa nandomo nai
sono naka no ichido wo ano toki kureta koto
furueteita koe

because you were so nice to a coward
you weren't angry very often
one time in the middle of it, what you gave to me at that time
was a trembling voice



知らない空に一番星
謎々が解った日
見つけたよ とてもかいもの
決して無くならない目印

shiranai sora ni ichibanboshi
nazonazo ga wakatta hi
mitsuketa yo, totemo atatakai mono
keshite nakunaranai mejirushi

the first star to appear in an unknown sky
the day I understood the riddles
I found it, a very warm thing
a landmark that will never be lost



ひとりに怯え 迷った時
心の奧 燈りに氣付く
そうかあなたは こんなに側に
どんな暗闇だろうと 飛んでいける

hitori ni obie mayotta toki
kokoro no oku akari ni kidzuku
sou ka anata wa konna ni soba ni
donna kurayami darou to tondeikeru

panicked and by myself, when I lost my way
I became aware of the light inside my heart
isn't that right, like this, by my side
you're able to fly no matter the darkness



今 私が泣いていても
あなたの記憶の中では
どうかあなたと 同じ笑顏で
きっと思い出してね
忘れないよ また會えるまで
心の奧 君がいた場所
そこで僕と 笑っている事 教えてあげたいから

ima watashi ga naiteitemo
anata no kioku no naka de wa
dou ka anata to onaji egao de
kitto omoidashite ne
aa, wasurenai yo, mata aeru made
kokoro no oku kimi ga ita basho
soko de boku to waratteiru koto oshiete agetai kara

now, even though I cry
within your memories
somehow with the same smiling face as you
definitely remember that
ah, I won't forget, until we meet again
the inside of my heart is where you were
and so I want to bring up the things like how you laughed with me



信じたままで 會えないままで
どんどん僕は大人になる
それでも君と 笑っているよ
ずっと友達でしょう

shinjita mama de, aenai mama de
dondon boku wa otona ni naru
soredemo kimi to waratteiru yo
zutto tomodachi deshou

having believed, and not being able to see you
steadily I'm becoming an adult
even so I'm laughing with you
we'll always be friends, won't we?

「バンプ・オブ・チキン」 虹を待つ人 niji wo matsuhito (person who waits for a rainbow) English translation + romaji lyrics

i'm really starting to like this band



眠れなかった体に 音が飛び込んで走る
目を閉じれば真っ暗 自分で作る色

nemurenakatta karada ni oto ga tobikonde hashiru
me wo tojireba makkura, jibun de tsukuru iro

in my sleepless body the sounds plunge in and start to run
when you close your eyes it's pitch black, the colors that you make yourself



言えないままの痛みが そっと寄り添って歌う
使い古した感情は 壊れたって動く

ienai mama no itami ga sotto yorisotte utau
tsukaifurushita kanjou wa kowareta tte ugoku

the wounds that aren't spoken of gather close together and sing
saying "my worn-out feelings have broken" it starts to move


見えない壁で囲まれた部屋 命に触れて確かめている
mienai kabe de kakomareta heya, inochi ni furete tashikameteiru

in a room surrounded by invisible walls, we experience life just to be certain



そのドアに鍵は無い そのドアに鍵は無い
開けようとしないから 知らなかっただけ
初めからずっと自由

sono doa ni kagi wa nai, sono doa ni kagi wa nai
akeyou to shinai kara shiranakatta dake
hajime kara zutto jiyuu

there are no keys to this door, there are no keys to this door*
but because you don't try to open it, it will just be unknown
from the start we are always free



冷たいままの痛みが そっと寄り添って祈る
冷たいままの体を 温めようとしている
生きようとする体を 音は隅まで知っている
目を開けたって同じ 自分で作る色

tsumetai mama no itami ga sotto yorisotte inoru
tsumetai mama no karada wo atatameyou to shiteiru
ikiyou to suru karada wo oto wa sumi made shitteiru
me wo aketa tte onaji, jibun de tsukuru iro

these wounds that remain cold gather close and pray
trying to warm up this body that remains cold
sounds only know as far as the corners of the body** trying to live
I opened my eyes, it's all the same, the colors that you make yourself



見えない壁が見えた時には その先にいる人が見える
mienai kabe ga mieta toki ni wa, sono saki ni iru hito ga mieru

when the unseen wall has been seen, the people of before can see it



虹を呼ぶ雨の下 皆同じ雨の下
うまく手は繋げない それでも笑う
同じ虹を待っている

niji wo yobu ame no shita, minna onaji ame no shita
umaku te wa tsunagenai soredemo warau
onaji niji wo matteiru

underneath the rain that calls to the rainbow, everyone the same under the rain
our hands aren't connected well, but we still laugh
waiting for the same rainbow



(音が飛び込んで走る 音が飛び込んで走る 音は隅まで知っている 生きようとする体を)

(oto ga tobikonde hashiru, oto ga tobikonde hashiru, oto wa sumi made shitteiru, ikiyou to suru karada wo)

(sounds plunge in and run / sounds plunge in and run / sounds only know of the corners / in a body that's trying to live)



あるいは気付いていて 怖かっただけ
どこまでもずっと自由

arui wa kidzuiteite, kowakatta dake
dokomademo zutto jiyuu

maybe I'm realizing that all I was was scared
no matter where, we're always free


そのドアに鍵は無い そのドアに鍵は無い
うまく手は繋げない それでも笑う
同じ虹を待っている

sono doa ni kagi wa nai, sono doa ni kagi wa nai
umaku te wa tsunagenai soredemo warau
onaji niji wo matteiru

there are no keys to this door, there are no keys to this door
our hands aren't connected well, but we still laugh
waiting for the same rainbow








translation notes:

* or "in this door, there is no key", "there is no key for this door", etc

** the word "karada" means "body" but sometimes it can also be translated to "health"

バンプ・オブ・チキン」ray English translation + romaji

oh hey i finally tried translating a song sung by a boy band. it's about time



お別れしたのはもっと 前の事だったような
悲しい光は封じ込めて 踵すり減らしたんだ
君といた時は見えた 今は見えなくなった
透明な彗星をぼんやりと でもそれだけ探している

owakare shita no wa motto mae no koto datta you na
kanashii hikari wa fuujikomete, kakato suriherashitanda
kimi to ita toki wa mieta ima wa mienaku natta
toumei na suisei wo bonyari to demo sore dake sagashiteiru

having said farewell seems more and more like something of before
a sorrowful light shut me in, the heel of my foot has worn away
I was able to see the times when you were with me; now I cannot see them
I hardly know about that transparent comet, but it's the only thing I'm searching for


しょっちゅう唄を歌ったよ その時だけのメロディーを
寂しくなんかなかったよ ちゃんと寂しくなれたから

shocchuu uta wo utatta yo, sono toki dake no merodii wo
sabishiku nanka nakatta yo, chanto sabishiku nareta kara

I constantly sang songs, singing that melody of only that time
it wasn't lonely or anything because I had gotten used to the loneliness


いつまでどこまでなんて 正常か異常かなんて
考える暇も無い程 歩くのは大変だ
楽しい方がずっといいよ ごまかして笑っていくよ
大丈夫だ あの痛みは 忘れたって消えやしない

itsumade dokomade nante, seijou ka ijou ka nante
kangaeru hima mo nai hodo aruku no wa taihen da
tanoshii hou ga zutto ii yo, gomakashite waratte iku yo
daijoubu da, ano itami wa wasureta tte kieyashinai

how long and how far will it be? is it normal or is it strange?*
walking is so terrible that I hardly have free time to think
doing it the fun way is always great, but I'll deceive myself and keep laughing
saying "it's all right, I've forgotten all about my misery" it'll never fade away!



理想で作った道を 現実が塗り替えていくよ
思い出はその軌跡の上で 輝きになって残っている
お別れしたのは何で 何のためだったんだろうな
悲しい光が僕の影を 前に長く伸ばしている

risou de tsukutta michi wo genjitsu ga nurikaeteiku yo
omoide wa sono kiseki no ue de kagayaki ni natte nokotteiru
owakare shita no wa nani de, nan no tame dattandarou na
kanashii hikari ga boku no kage wo mae ni nagai nobashiteiru

reality is repainting the road that I build with my dreams
my memories on the wagon tracks are becoming radiant, being left behind
why and for what purpose did I ever say farewell anyways?
a sorrowful light has since before been lengthening my shadow a long distance


時々熱が出るよ 時間がある時眠るよ
夢だと解るその中で 君と会ってからまた行こう

tokidoki netsu ga deru yo, jikan ga aru toki nemuru yo
yume da to wakaru sono naka de kimi to atte kara mata ikou

sometimes I'll get fevers, and when I have the time I'll sleep
in the midst of me understanding that it's a dream, I'll go again from where we met together



晴天とはほど遠い 終わらない暗闇にも
星を思い浮かべたなら すぐ銀河の中だ
あまり泣かなくなっても 靴を新しくしても
大丈夫だ あの痛みは 忘れたって消えやしない

seiten to wa hodo tooi, owaranai kurayami ni mo
hoshi wo omoi ukabeta nara sugu ginga no naka da
amari nakanaku nattemo kutsu wo atarashi shite mo
daijoubu da, ano itami wa, wasureta tte kieyashinai

fine weather is far off in the endless darkness too
if I'm reminded of the stars, soon I'll be inside a galaxy
even though I don't really cry that much, even though I make my shoes brand new
saying "it's all right, I've forgotten all about my misery" it'll never fade away!



伝えたかった事が きっとあったんだろうな
恐らくありきたりなんだろうけど こんなにも

tsutaetakatta koto ga kitto attandarou na
osoraku arikitari nandarou kedo konna ni mo

the things I wanted to tell you are probably still here
perhaps they'd be kinda ordinary, but even so


お別れした事は 出会った事と繋がっている
あの透明な彗星は 透明だから無くならない

owakare shita koto wa deatta koto to tsunagatteiru
ano toumei na suimei wa toumei dakara nakunaranai

saying farewell and meeting by chance, both of them are connected
since that transparent comet is transparent, it'll never get lost



◯×△どれかなんて 皆と比べてどうかなんて
確かめる間も無い程 生きるのは最高だ
あまり泣かなくなっても ごまかして笑っていくよ
大丈夫だ あの痛みは 忘れたって消えやしない
大丈夫だ この光の始まりには 君がいる

maru batsu sankaku dore ka nante, minna to kurabete dou ka nante
tashikameru ma mo nai hodo, ikiru no wa saikou da
amari nakanaku nattemo, gomakashite waratte iku yo
daijoubu da, ano itami wa wasureta tte kieyashinai
daijoubu da, kono hikari no hajimari ni wa kimi ga iru

circles and triangles, which of them work? compare myself with everyone, how about that?*
being alive is so supreme that I don't have the time to make sure
even though I don't really cry that much I'll deceive myself and keep laughing
saying "it's all right, i've forgotten all about my misery" it'll never fade away!
it's all right, in the origins of this light, you are here







* translation note: from the context of these questions and the way "nante" is used at the end I'm kind of assuming that these are questions the singer may be asking himself (although i'm not 100% sure!)

i seriously love the lyrics in this song! they just sound so pretty to me for some reason (especially in the original Japanese)



あぁ 瞳を閉じ 浮かぶのは 
もう忘れていたあの旋律
溢れ落ちてゆく記憶へと
差し出した手はまだ 癒えないまま 消えずに

aa, hitomi wo toji ukabu no wa
mou wasureteita ano senritsu
koboreochite yuku kioku he to
sashidashita te wa mada ienai mama, kiezu ni

aah, closing my eyes and floating above
I had already forgotten that melody
to the memories that overflow and fall
the hands I hold out still don't seem to heal, without disappearing


今 思い出の景色から
溢れだす痛みとあの旋律
混じり合う声が聞こえても
誰の声かさえわからず ただ
落ちゆく私を捉えた瞳は
虚ろな形がただ 映り込んでしまうの

ima omoide no keshiki kara
afuredasu itami to ano senritsu
majiriau koe ga kikoetemo
dare no koe ka sae wakarazu tada
ochiyuku watashi wo toraeta hitomi wa
utsuro na katachi ga tada utsurikonde shimau no

now, from the scenery of my memories
is overflowing pain with that melody
even though I hear the voices mixed together
without even knowing whose voices they are
in the eyes that seize me as I'm falling down
just an empty blank figure is being reflected


初音ミク Sweet Cat Dreaming English translation/Deutsch Übersetzung + romaji lyrics

this is such a cute song!! you should just listen to this song when you feel sad basically.

I also tried a shot at translating these lyrics into German but. it probably doesn't sound that good at all considering my German is super rusty and uggh... tut mir leid Deutsch sprechen Freunde!



昼間なんて関係ない
眠そうに倒れかけてる
子猫がなんだか可愛い過ぎる

hiruma nante kankei nai
nemusou ni taorekaketeru
koneko ga nandaka kawaii sugiru

it has nothing to do with that it’s midday
I’m collapsing into sleepiness
kittens are somehow way too cute

nichts zu tun mit die Tatsache, dass es ist Mittag
aber ich bin stürze ein Schläfrigkeit
Kätzchen sind irgendwie so süß



ねえ、青ゾラはなんで 白い雲があって
素敵な時間を止めたい
スィートな顔眠って 時間の流れ忘れ
夢見てる猫の様に 僕は夢に落ちてゆく

nee, aozora wa nande shiroi kumo ga atte
suteki na jikan wo tometai
suiito na kao nemutte, jikan no nagarewasure
yume miteru neko no you ni boku wa yume ni ochite yuku

hey, why are there white clouds in the blue sky?
I want to stop this lovely time
a sweet face asleep in the passing and forgetting of time
like a dreaming cat, I’m falling down into my dreams

hej, warum sind das weiß Wolken in das blau Himmel?
ich möchte stoppe das schön Zeit
ein süß Gesicht schlaft in Weitergabe und Vergessen der Zeit
wie ein träumen Katze ich falle in zu meine Traume



スィートな顔眠って 時間の流れ忘れ
夢見てる猫の様に 僕は夢に落ちてゆく
(x2)

suiito na kao nemutte, jikan no nagarewasure
yume miteru neko no you ni boku wa yume ni ochite yuku
(x2)

a sweet face asleep in the passing and forgetting of time
like a dreaming cat, I’m falling down into my dreams
(x2)

ein süß Gesicht schlaft in Weitergabe und Vergessen der Zeit
wie ein träumen Katze ich falle in zu meine Traume
(x2)



落ちてゆく Uhh
ochite yuku uu

I’m falling, ooh
Ich falle, ooh
