Baby, Baby

Requested by Primity, it’s as he said, you can see the growth that both Tsubaki and Mei have underwent since they started. I think I like Tsubaki’s lyrics more when they’re like this rather than her more abstract ones, it’s easier to get perspective.

Notes: During the line “Even though you’re just behind the glass, I can’t make you disappear,” I picture that as meaning she can’t pull the blind down the window to block him out. I’m also stuck on the fence about whether I should’ve put “deserty” in place of “desert-like.” Maybe “a sandy place” or “barren” would’ve worked well too.

崩れていく理想の会話
ロープレ通りできないなら
予習したって意味がなくて
むなしいだけ　whatever you say

kuzurete iku risou no kaiwa
roopure doori dekinai nara
yoshuu shita tte imi ga nakute
munashii dake whatever you say

We have a talk of crumbling ideals
If you can’t follow the roleplay then
there’s no point in having a lesson prepared
Whatever you say just goes to vain

はぐらかして楽しんでる
私一人置いてけぼり
肝心なとき頼れなくて
寂しいだけ　そうきっと

hagurakashite tanoshinderu
watashi hitori oitekebori
kanjin na toki tayorenakute
sabishii dake sou kitto

Always slipping away to have some fun
leaving only me behind
I can’t rely on this crucial time with you
It’s just lonely, surely that’s so

君は一人でも生きていけるからそんな逞しいんだ
弱く生まれた私には難しいことばかり

kimi wa hitori demo ikite ikeru kara sonna takumashii n da
yowaku umareta watashi ni wa muzukashii koto bakari

It’s no wonder you’re so strong, you’re good at living even all alone
For someone who was born weak like me, that’s a little difficult

Baby,baby! Are you here?
君の心が　どこか知らない場所にあって
Baby,maybe you’re not here
ガラス越しでも　消せないまま
大好き　goodbye

Baby,baby! Are you here?
kimi no kokoro ga dokoka shiranai basho ni atte
Baby,maybe you’re not here
garasu goshi demo kesenai mama
daisuki goodbye

Baby, baby! Are you here?
Your heart is somewhere unknown to me
Baby, maybe you’re not here
Even though you’re just behind the glass, I can’t make you disappear
I love you, good bye

Baby,baby! Do you hear?
本当の気持ち　隠さないでよ　大丈夫って
君の指先　触れたまつげが　証明する
大好き　goodbye

Baby,baby! Do you hear?
honto no kimochi kakusanai de yo daijoubu tte
kimi no yubisaki fureta matsuge ga shoumei suru
daisuki goodbye

Baby, baby! Do you hear?
“Don’t hide your true feelings, it’s alright”
Your that fingertips were touched by my eyelashes leaves proof
that I love you, good bye

Baby, baby! Are you here?
Baby, maybe you’re not here
Baby, baby! Do you hear?
I’m not ready to tell you goodbye

分かり合ったつもりだった
本当は長い　からっぽの距離
気づかなくて　手を伸ばした
踏み外して　I almost fall down!

wakari atta tsumori datta
honto wa nagai karappo no kyori
kidzukanakute te o nobashita
fumi hazushite I almost fall down!

We had the intent to understand each other
The truth is we’re separated by a long empty distance
I didn’t notice, I reached out my hand
I lost my footing, I almost fell down!

馬鹿みたいで恥ずかしくて
でも君には言えなかった
もっと近くに行きたかった
寂しいだけ　そう　まだ

baka mitai de hazukashikute
demo kimi ni wa ienakatta
motto chikaku ni ikitakatta
sabishii dake sou mada

I’m so stupid and embarassed
but I couldn’t say that for you
I wanted to get closer to you
but I’m just still lonely, yes, still

君が何を背負っているのか何一つ知らないんだ
辛いことや苦しいこといろいろあったのかな

kimi ga nani o seotteiru no ka nani hitotsu shiranai n da
tsurai koto ya kurushii koto iroiro atta no kana

Just what burdens are you carrying? I don’t know about even one
I wonder if you’ve had various painful or tough times…

Baby,baby! Are you here?
君の欠片が　砂漠みたいな場所にあって
Baby,maybe you’re not here
私の手では　連れ出せない
ごめんね　goodbye

Baby,baby! Are you here?
kimi no kakera ga sabaku mitai na basho ni atte
Baby,maybe you’re not here
watashi no te de wa tsure dasenai
gomenne goodbye

Baby, baby! Are you here?
Broken pieces of you are scattered in a desert-like place
Baby, maybe you’re not here
With these hands I can’t take them out
I’m sorry, good bye

Baby,baby! Do you hear?
私の気持ち　包み込んでよ　平気だよって
君の視線で　捕らえたんなら　証明して
大好き　goodbye

Baby,baby! Do you hear?
watashi no kimochi tsutsumi konde yo heiki da yo tte
kimi no shisen de toraeta n nara shoumei shite
daisuki goodbye

Baby, baby! Do you hear?
“Wrap up all my feelings, I’m alright”
If I’ve been captured by your sight, prove it
I love you, good bye

Baby,baby! Are you here?
君の心が　どこか知らない場所にあって
Baby,maybe you’re not here
ガラス越しでも　消せないまま
大好き　goodbye

Baby,baby! Are you here?
kimi no kokoro ga dokoka shiranai basho ni atte
Baby,maybe you’re not here
garasu goshi demo kesenai mama
daisuki goodbye

Baby, baby! Are you here?
Your heart is somewhere unknown to me
Baby, maybe you’re not here
Even though you’re just behind the glass, I can’t make you disappear
I love you, good bye

Baby,baby! Do you hear?
本当の気持ち　隠さないでよ　大丈夫って
君の指先　触れたまつげが　証明する
大好き　goodbye

Baby,baby! Do you hear?
honto no kimochi kakusanai de yo daijoubu tte
kimi no yubisaki fureta matsuge ga shoumei suru
daisuki goodbye

Baby, baby! Do you hear?
“Don’t hide your true feelings, it’s alright”
Your eyelashes that were touched by my fingertips leaves proof
that I love you, good bye

Baby, baby! Are you here?
Baby, maybe you’re not here
Baby, baby! Do you hear?
I’m not ready to tell you goodbye

I read the title as “Riversideology” at first, and I was expecting an arrange of Komachi’s theme. I wasn’t planning on translating this one at first, but I decided to do it just for a certain someone before I move on. Next up in my plans, the Dancing Dollz album.

inside the mirror is laughing at me

“This isn’t anything like a lie”

Tell me what is the truth?

Tell me what is the truth?
kowareta mama nozonde iku

Tell me what is the truth?
I wish to know as it remains destroyed
I’ll turn this world that’s gone astray into a senseless mess

Baby can’t you see this upside down world?
君の正しさ　僕の正しさの意味は
わかりあえないまま

Baby can’t you see this upside down world?

The meaning of your kindness and of my kindness
are separate

Nachi’s probably one of my favorite singers, this song quickly grew on me. I think this is my first song of hers that I’ve done though. I’m pretty proud of how nicely this translation turned out.

指先から　伝える　音　視線
“今夜は月が奇麗だから”
この歌声も　静かな夜に
どこまでも　遠く響くかな

yubisaki kara tsutaeru oto shisen
“konya wa tsuki ga kirei dakara”
kono utagoe mo shizukana yoru ni
doko made mo tooku hibiku kana

Sending a sound from my fingertips down my line of sight
“because the moon is pretty tonight”
I wonder if my singing voice will
travel far and echo throughout this quiet night

だけど　お似合いだね　point of silence
だけど　期待してる　point of silence
月明かりの下　想いはどこへ　行くのかな
知りたいな　just two of us

dakedo oniai da ne point of silence
dakedo kitai shiteru point of silence
tsukiakari no shita omoi wa doko e iku no kana
shiritai na just two of us

But the point of silence counters it
But I’ve been expecting this point of silence
Under this moonlight, where will your feelings go to?
I want to know, just two of us

You are my heart たぶん　伝えたくて
声の限りに叫んでも
You are my heart たぶんね
今のままだって　わかってる
わかってるつもりの hide and seek

You are my heart tabun tsutaetakute
koe no kagiri ni sakendemo
You are my heart tabun ne
ima no mama da tte wakatteru
wakatteru tsumori no hide and seek

You are my heart, maybe I want to tell you that
even if I have to shout at the top of my lungs
You are my heart, probably
“That’s how it is now” I understand
A hide and seek with the intention for you to understand

やっぱりね　ほんとはね　ほんとだね
やっぱりね　キミがね　いないとね
やっぱりね　独りじゃ　ダメだね
逃げこんだ先
point of silence

yappari ne honto wa ne honto da ne
yappari ne kimi ga ne inai to ne
yappari ne hitori ja dame da ne
nige konda saki
point of silence

Just as I thought, the truth is the truth
Just as I thought, when you aren’t here
Just as I thought, it’s no good being alone
After I run away I reach the
point of silence

願っていた　雲一つない　夜空
“今夜は月が奇麗だから”
この詩（ことば）では　いつまでも　誰の心
にも届かないよね

negatteita kumo hitotsu nai yozora
“konya wa tsuki ga kirei dakara”
kono kotoba de wa itsu made mo dare no kokoro
ni mo todokanai yo ne

I had wished during the cloudless night sky
“because the moon is pretty tonight”
The words in this poem will forever never
reach the heart of anyone will they

だから　隠れていた　point of silence
だから　隠していた　point of silence
月明かりの下　願いは何を　呼ぶのかな
知りたいな　just two of us

dakara kakureteita point of silence
dakara kakushiteita point of silence
tsukiakari no shita negai wa nani o yobu no kana
shiritai na just two of us

And so the point of silence has been hidden
And so I’ve hidden the point of silence
What do you call the wish I made under the moonlight?
I want to know, just the two of us

You are my soul たぶん　信じたくて
風の便りに　迷っても
You are my soul たぶんね
わがままだって　わかってる
わかってるつもりの hide and seek

You are my soul tabun shinjitakute
kaze no tayori ni mayottemo
You are my soul tabun ne
wagamama da tte wakatteru
wakatteru tsumori no hide and seek

Maybe I want to believe you are my soul
even though word from the grapevine makes me lost
You are my soul probably
“I’m selfish” I understand
A hide and seek with the intention for you to understand

やっぱりね　ほんとはね　ほんとだね
やっぱりね　キミがね　いないとね
やっぱりね　独りじゃ　ダメだね
逃げこんだ先
point of silence

yappari ne honto wa ne honto da ne
yappari ne kimi ga ne inai to ne
yappari ne hitori ja dame da ne
nige konda saki
point of silence

Just as I thought, the truth is the truth
Just as I thought, when you aren’t here
Just as I thought, it’s no good being alone
After I run away I reach the
point of silence

だけど　お似合いだね　point of silence
だけど　期待してる　point of silence
月明かりの下　想いはどこへ　行くのかな
知りたいな　just two of us

dakedo oniai da ne point of silence
dakedo kitai shiteru point of silence
tsukiakari no shita omoi wa doko e iku no kana
shiritai na just two of us

But the point of silence counters it
But I’ve been expecting this point of silence
Under this moonlight, where will your feelings go to?
I want to know, just two of us

You are my heart たぶん　キミのそばに
いたいだけ　痛いけど　それでもいい
You are my heart たぶんね
ダメなんだって　わかってる
わかってたつもりの hide and seek

You are my heart tabun kimi no soba ni
itai dake itai kedo sore demo ii
You are my heart tabun ne
dame nanda tte wakatteru
wakatteta tsumori no hide and seek

You are my heart, maybe I just want to be
by your side, although it hurts that’s alright
You are my heart probably
“It’s useless” I understand
A hide and seek with the intention for me to have understood

やっぱりね　ほんとはね　ほんとだね
やっぱりね　キミがね　いないとね
やっぱりね　独りじゃ　ダメだね
逃げこんだ先
point of silence

yappari ne honto wa ne honto da ne
yappari ne kimi ga ne inai to ne
yappari ne hitori ja dame da ne
nige konda saki
point of silence

Just as I thought, the truth is the truth
Just as I thought, when you aren’t here
Just as i thought, it’s no good being alone
After I run away I reach the
point of silence

no way…

Ah, what a beautiful song. I don’t have much more to say after that. I don’t think I’ll need to edit this translation much in the future, it seems pretty smooth. I should probably stop posting so late though.

独り　篝火を背に
迷い込んだ 夜を　欺いて
こぼれ落ちる　砂のよう
記憶にさらわれて　泣いている

hitori kagaribi o se ni
mayoi konda yoru o azamuite
kobore ochiru suna no you
kioku ni sarawarete naiteiru

Alone, my back to the bonfire flames
fooling the night gone astray
Just like sand falling and scattering
I’m swept away by my memories and I cry

君の言う　弱さの意味が
今の　僕には　眩しくて
照らされた　魂に映る　眠る雛鳥
巣立つ時　巡る運命
淡い色に　染まる宝石
枯れ果てた　点と点
心と心　重ねられたら
僕は　それで…

kimi no iu yowasa no imi ga
ima no boku ni wa mabushikute
terasareta tamashi ni utsuru nemuru hinadori
sudatsu toki meguru unmei
awai iro ni somaru houseki
karehateta ten to ten
kokoro to kokoro kasaneraretara
boku wa sore de…

Your meaning of weakness
is radiant to the me right now
A sleeping baby bird is reflected by my lit up spirit
When it leaves the nest it’s fate revolves
like a precious gem to be dyed a faint colour
If we can be together heart to heart
and dried out dot to dot
With that, I’ll then…

遠い　蛍火の色
しゃがみこんだ　僕を　慰めて
いつか終わる　喜劇と
記憶に焼き付けて　泣いている

tooi hotarubi no iro
jagami konda boku o nagusamete
itsuka owaru kigeki to
kioku ni yaki tsukete naiteiru

The light of the firefly was far
You crouched down and comforted me
These days are burned into my mind
as a comedy to someday end, and I cry

僕の思う　強さの意味が
今の　君には　重すぎて
ほどかれた　黄昏時に　歌う雛鳥
子守唄　どこで覚えて
そして　どこへ忘れていこう？
朽ち果てた　点と点
心と心　重ねられたら
僕は　どこへ…

boku no omou tsuyosa no imi ga
ima no kimi ni wa omosugite
hodokareta tasogare doki ni utau hinadori
komori uta doko de oboete
soshite doko e wasurete ikou?
kuchi hateta ten to ten
kokoro to kokoro kasaneraretara
boku wa doko e…

What I think is the meaning of strength
is much too heavy for the you right now
When the dusk is unwrapped, I recognize the
singing chick’s lullaby from somewhere
Then where should I go to forget these memories?
If we can be together heart to heart
and decayed dot to dot
somewhere, I’ll…

あの日　君が
残していった　折り紙
何に　変わる　はずだったのだろう

ano hi kimi ga
nokoshiteita origami
nani ni kawaru hazu datta no darou

On that day you
had left behind an origami
What was it supposed to have become I wonder

この手では　弱さの意味を
勘違いしてしまうから
放たれた　大空の色　迷う雛鳥
眠る時　願う偶然
淡い色に　染まる永遠
もう一度　点と点
心と心　重ねられたら
僕は　何も…

kono te de wa yowasa no imi o
kanchigai shite shimau kara
hanatareta oozora no iro mayou hinadori
nemuru toki negau guuzen
awai iro ni somaru eien
mou ichido ten to ten
kokoro to kokoro kasaneraretara
boku wa nani mo…

Because within these hands I’ve misunderstood
the meaning of weakness
the baby bird is lost in the set free colour of the sky
If by chance it wishes when it’s asleep
eternity will be dyed a faint colour
If we can be together
dot to dot, heart to heart, one more time
I’ll do anything…
