素直な気持ち　打ち明けたい想い
なんて言葉の　どこまで信じるの？

sunao na kimochi uchi aketai omoi
nante kotoba no doko made shinjiru no?

Honest feelings and emotions I want to open up about
How far will you believe such words?

夢を見過ぎ　夢に溺れ

yume o mi sugi yume ni obore

Dreaming too much, drowning in dreams

疲れ果て　選んだものは
一人きり　ダイビング

tsukare hate eranda mono wa
hitori kiri daibingu

Tired out chosen ones
all alone go diving

逆さの月がゆらり
逆さまつげがチクリ
宙ぶらりんな私
何処までも泳いで
はぐれて　漂う

sakasa no tsuki ga yurari
sakasama tsuge ga chikuri
chuu burarin na watashi
doko made mo oyoide
hagurete tadayou

The upside down moon sways
The upside down shrubs sting
Me, hanging in the air
will swim and stray away
and float as far as it takes

どっちが前か　わからなくなってく
私はいつも　後ろを見つめてる

docchi ga mae ka wakaranaku natte ku
watashi wa itsu mo ushiro o mitsumeteru

I’m becoming unable to tell which way is forward
I’m always staring backwards

嘘を吐いて　嘘に呑まれ

uso o tsuite uso ni nomare

Telling lies, being swallowed by lies

騙すなら　己からだと
言い聞かせ　飲み込んだなら

damasu nara onore kara da to
ii kikase nomi konda nara

If you deceive, do it from yourself
If you gulped down that warning

ゆっくりと　ふわりふわりと
浮き上がる　軽くなる

yukkuri to fuwari fuwari to
uki agaru karuku naru

you’ll become light, and gently gently
slowly you’ll float up

逆さの月がゆらり
逆さまつげがチクリ
胸の棘が抜けない
いつからだったかな

sakasa no tsuki ga yurari
sakasama tsuge ga chikuri
mune no toge ga nukenai
itsu kara datta kana

The upside down moon sways
The upside down shrubs sting
My heart’s thorns won’t come out
How long has it been I wonder

この気持ちは本物？
本当に願ってたの？
イカサマ　サカサ　セカイ
自分から落ちてく
私の　楽園

kono kimochi wa honmono?
hontou ni negatteta no?
ikasama sakasa sekai
jibun kara ochite ku
watashi no rakuen

Are these feelings real?
Did I really make a wish?
A cheating upside down world
goes and falls from myself
My very own paradise

真実から　逃げてみるの
君がスキで　君がキライ

shinjitsu kara nigete miru no
kimi ga suki de kimi ga kirai

Trying to escape from the truth
I hate you because I like you

After weeks of putting it off, here it is! Still unsure of the singer/lyricist’s names though, I’m terrible with names. FELT lyricists really love long sentences  don’t they. I could go off on a rant about how the longer a sentence becomes, the more difficult it becomes to put it in English, due to opposite sentence structures and such, but nobody’s here for that.

色のない陽炎が　吸い込む
目の前に　広がった　見慣れた景色に
揺れ続けていた

iro no nai kagerou ga sui komu
me no mae ni hirogatta mi nareta keshiki ni
yure tsudzuketeita

The colourless heat haze had continued
to sway in the familiar scenery that expanded
before my absorbing eyes

穏やかに波を打つ　この胸
締め付ける　戻れない

odayaka ni nami o utsu kono mune
shime tsukeru modorenai

Gently rolling like a wave,
my chest tightens, unable to return

夢の向こう側へ溶け込んで記憶

yume no mukougawa e toke konde kioku

Memories melt to the other side of the dream

想いを閉じ込めて　紡いだ　赤い糸
ほどけぬように　強く　握っているの

omoi o toji komete tsumuida akai ito
hodokenu you ni tsuyoku nigitteiru no

I locked away my feelings and now grasp firmly
my weaved red string so it doesn’t come loose

渦巻いた　闇を連れて　一人きり　誓った言葉
せせらぐ　川の音に　紛れて消えてしまったの？
流れつく　声を集め　動き出す道に　いつか咲く
僕の影は　誰かの手を　守れているかな

uzu muita yami o tsurete hitori kiri chikatta kotoba
seseragu kawa no ne ni magirete kiete shimatta no?
nagare tsuku koe o atsume ugoki dasu michi ni itsu ka saku
boku no kage wa dare ka no te o mamoreteiru kana

I spun, took the darkness, and all alone pledged words
Did they slip into the sound of the river and disappear?
Upon washing ashore, I gather my voice, and wonder if my someday to bloom shadows
are able to protect someone along the road I start to move down

夕雲に　照らされた心は
踊るように　泣くように
ずっと堪えていた　涙を落した

yuugumo ni terasareta kokoro wa
odoru you ni naku no you ni
zutto taeteita namida o otoshita

My heart that was shined on by the clouds
as if dancing, as if crying
was always enduring, I let tears fall

不確かに混ざり合う
未熟な感情を掌へ
伸ばした指から　差し込んだ光

futashika ni mazari au
mijuku na kanjou o te no hira e
nobashita yubi kara sashi konda hikari

From my finger that pointed
to the palm of my hand
was a light that shined in my inexperienced emotions that mix together unclearly

巡っては繰り返す　終わらない　物語
守り続ける息を　絶やさないから

megutte wa kuri kaesu owaranai monogatari
mamori tsudzukeru iki o tayasanai kara

Going around and repeating, this story will never end
because my breath that continues to protect won’t be put out

透き通る　一滴に　込められた　意味を教えて
闇の無い　心なんて　あるはずないと知っている
目を閉じて預けてみて　深呼吸のあと　この両手で
掬いあげる　傷みすべて　眠ってる　あいだに

suki tooru hito shizuku ni komerareta imi o oshiete
yami no nai kokoro nante aru hazu nai to shitteiru
me o tojite azukete mite shinkokyuu no ato kono ryoute de
sukui ageru itami subete nemutteru aida ni

Teach me the meaning put into a single clear drop
I know that there’s no such thing as a heart with no darkness
Close your eyes and try to leave it to me, after a deep breath, with both my hands
I’ll scoop it out, your pain and everything, while you sleep

綻んだ　蕾がまた　色のない世界潤す
絡まる糸を　そっと　巻き戻していくように

hokoronda tsubomi ga mata iro no nai sekai uruosu
karamaru ito o sotto maki modoshite iku you ni

A flower bud that just began to bloom again enriches this colourless world
as if going and gently rewinding entwined strings

纏いつく髪束ねて　夢の途中浮かぶ
小さな灯を見つめていた　静かに潜む明日を　探して

matoi tsuku kami tabanete yume no tochuu ukabu
chiisa na hi o mitsumeteita shizuka ni hisomu ashita o sagashite

I bound up my entwined hair, and had gazed in the middle of a dream
at the small floating light, searching for a silently lurking tomorrow

Felt like being lazy and doing a quick and easy song. I also knew that this album needed to be finished, plus I love Haruka lyrics, so here we are.

夜の街　一人歩いた
なにもない　穴の開いた心で

yoru no machi hitori aruita
nani mo nai ana no aita kokoro de

Through the town at night, alone I walked
There’s nothing in my hole filled heart

寒い空の下で　抱きしめてほしい
呟いた　泣きながら

samui sora no shita de daki shimete hoshii
tsubuyaita nakinagara

Under the cold sky I want you to hug me
I whispered while I cried

遥かに　消えていった夢　遠くてとても悲しく
密かに　想いを馳せても届かない気づいているけど
消えていった夢　大事な思い出さえも
貴方に　想いは届かなくて、そして消えてなくなる

haruka ni kieteitta yume tookute totemo kanashiku
hisoka ni omoi o hasetemo todokanai kiduiteiru kedo
kieteitta yume daiji na omoide sae mo
anata ni omoi wa todokanakute, soshite kiete naku naru

My dreams that were fading away far off did so distantly and very sadly
Even if I secretly send off my feelings I recognize they won’t reach
My dreams that were fading  and even my treasured memories
these feelings will never reach you, and thus will die away

独りきり　東の空を
眺めてた　空っぽな心のまま

hitori kiri higashi no sora o
nagameteta karappo na kokoro no mama

All alone I had gazed
at the eastern sky, as my heart remained empty

「ずっと傍にいてね　貴方しかいない」
言えなくて　切なくて

「zutto soba ni ite ne anata shika inai」
ienakute setsunakute

“Stay with me forever, there’s nobody for me but you”
Unable to say so, it was painful

遥かに　消えていった夢　遠くてとても悲しく
密かに　想いを馳せても届かない気づいているけど
消えていった夢　大事な思い出さえも
貴方に　想いは届かなくて、そして消えてなくなるけど

haruka ni kieteitta yume tookute totemo kanashiku
hisoka ni omoi o hasetemo todokanai kiduiteiru kedo
kieteitta yume daiji na omoide sae mo
anata ni omoi wa todokanakute, soshite kiete naku naru kedo

My dreams that were fading away far off, did so distantly and very sadly
Even if I secretly send off my feelings I recognize they won’t reach
My dreams that were fading and even my treasured memories
these feelings will never reach you, and thus will die away

消えていった夢　儚く　消えていった恋
どんなに　呪文をかけても変わらない気づいているけど
消えていった夢　貴方と　大事な想い
私の　物語、終わりに、近づき幕を閉じるの

kieteitta yume hakanaku kieteitta koi
donna ni jumon o kaketemo kawaranai kiduiteiru kedo
kieteitta yume anata to daiji na omoi
watashi no monogatari, owari ni, chikadzuki maku o tojiru no

My dreams that were fading, fleetingly, my love that was fading
No matter how many magic words I chant, I recognize neither will change
My dreams that were fading and my treasured memories with you
my story approaches, the ending, and draws the curtain

叩いた　扉の　数だけ　涙を選ぶ
隠した　心の　影だけがそう　焼き付いた

tataita tobira no kazu dake namida o erabu
kakushita kokoro no kage dake ga sou yaki tsuita

For each door that I knocked on I choose tears
Only the shadows of a concealed heart, yes, scorched into me

だけどね　また何か　壊してしまう　夢だけを求めていた
痛い　痛い　痛い　のはなぜ？

dakedo ne mata nani ka kowashite shimau yume dake o motometeita
itai itai itai no wa naze?

However, hey, I accidentally destroy something again, I was only seeking a dream
a dream.. a dream.. a dream.. so why does it hurt?

I feel myself’s breaking apart
遠い春の日差しに包まれたまま
like a hide and seek 繰り返す
見えそうで 映らない　your POKER FACE

I feel myself’s breaking apart
tooi haru no hizashi ni tsutsumareta mama
like a hide and seek kuri kaesu
miesou de utsuranai your POKER FACE

I feel myself’s breaking apart
as I remain wrapped up by the sunlight of a far spring
like a hide and seek repeating
seemingly visible, yet blank, your POKER FACE

I don’t know how to touch your heart
忘れたくて　泣きたくて　でもできなくて
like a sunshine まだ 演じてる
そんな　POKER FACE my POKER FACE your POKER FACE

I don’t know how to touch your heart
wasuretakute nakitakute demo dekinakute
like a sunshine mada enjiteru
sonna POKER FACE my POKER FACE your POKER FACE

I don’t know how to touch your heart
I want to forget, I want to cry, but I just can’t
like a sunshine, still performing
that POKER FACE my POKER FACE your POKER FACE

暴いた　言葉の　数だけ　涙に暮れる
愛した　心の　傷だけがそう　焼き付いた

abaita kotoba no kazu dake namida ni kureru
aishita kokoro no kizu dake ga sou yaki tsuita

For each uncovered word I sink in tears
Only the wounds of a heart that loved, yes, scorched into me

4seasons will hide your everything
春の音　夏の声
秋の色　冬の夢
4seasons will break your everything
春の傷　夏の痕
秋の棘　冬の影

4seasons will hide your everything
haru no oto natsu no koe
aki no iro fuyu no yume
4seasons will break your everything
haru no kizu natsu no ato
aki no toge fuyu no kage

4seasons will hide your everything
The sound of spring, the voice of summer
the colours of fall, the dreams of winter
4seasons will break your everything
The wounds of spring, the scars of summer
the thorns of fall, the shadows of winter

だけどね　また誰か　泣かせてしまう　夢だけを信じていた
痛い　痛い　痛い　のはなぜ？

dakedo ne mata dare ka nakasete shimau yume dake o shinjiteita
itai itai itai no wa naze

However, hey, I accidentally make somebody cry again, I was only believing a dream
a dream.. a dream.. a dream.. so why does it hurt?

I feel myself’s breaking apart
淡い春の日差しに焼かれ続けて
think day and night わからない
どこまでも 不確かな　your POKER FACE

I feel myself’s breaking apart
awai haru no hizashi ni yakare tsudzukete
think day and night wakaranai
doko made mo futashika na your POKER FACE

I feel myself’s breaking apart
I continue to be burnt by the sunlight of a faint spring and
think day and night, but don’t understand
No matter where, it’s unclear, your POKER FACE

I don’t know how to touch your heart
伝えたくて　知りたくて　でもできなくて
until we can see the sunrise again
keep trying　POKER FACE my POKER FACE your POKER FACE
本当は　本当は　本当は……

I don’t know how to touch your heart
tsutaetakute shiritakute demo dekinakute
until we can see the sunrise again
keep trying　POKER FACE my POKER FACE your POKER FACE
hontou wa hontou wa hontou wa……

I don’t know how to touch your heart
I want to reach you, I want to know, but I just can’t
until we can see the sunrise again
keep trying　POKER FACE my POKER FACE your POKER FACE
that’s the truth, that’s the truth, that’s the truth……
