春風のアンブレラ | harukaze no anburera | Spring Breeze Umbrella

This was a cute one! I was tied between doing this song, or the Mamizou or Nitori ones today. Taking requests really is a great way to discover new music. Appears there’s no video on youtube for this song either, I know what I’ll be working on tonight or tomorrow.

桜色の春風に乗せて
きっと ずっと 待ち続けて

sakura iro no haru kaze ni nosete
kitto zutto machi tsudzukete

Sending out on a pink spring breeze
surely, always, I’ll keep on waiting

曇り空を見上げて ふいに
キミの横顔がよぎった そんな日

kumori zora o mi agete fui ni
kimi no yokogao ga yogitta sonna hi

On that day, when I looked to the cloudy sky
suddenly, your face passed by me

通り雨 傘広げ 影落ちて
踊る雨露 跳ねるリズムがやさしいの

tooriame kasa hiroge kage ochite
odoru amatsuyu haneru rizumu ga yasashii no

The rain showered, umbrellas opened, and their shadows fell
It’s easy to jump to the rhythm of the dancing rain

雨が音色奏でるアンブレラ
私一人だけのために

ame ga neiro kanaderu anburera
watashi hitori dake no tame ni

The rain makes a performance on my umbrella
for my sake, and mine alone

やがて空は晴れ渡り
春の空に虹を架けてよ さあ

yagate sora wa hare watari
haru no sora ni niji o kakete yo saa

Before long, the skies clear up
and a rainbow is formed in the spring sky, see

水溜りに映った顔は
そっと ゆらゆらと揺れてる キラキラ

mizutamari ni utsutta kao wa
sotto yurayura to yureteru kirakira

My face reflected in the puddle
gently sways from side to side, sparkling

春の雨通り過ぎ 陽が射して
やわらかな風 季節の息吹 感じるの

haru no ame toori sugi hi ga sashite
yawaraka na kaze kisetsu no ibuki kanjiru no

After the spring rain passes, the sun shines
I can feel the breath of the season, a soft wind

光浴びて うららかな弥生
そっと この想いに重ね

hikari abite uraraka na yayoi
sotto kono omoi ni kasane

Bathing in the light – It’s a beautiful March
Quietly, adding to my feelings

春の香り 風に乗せて届け
いつか キミに伝わるまで

haru no kaori kaze ni nosete todoke
itsuka kimi ni tsutawaru made

I’ll send a scent of spring riding on the wind
until someday it’s flown to you

重なった丸い影 並んでる
ホントはひとつ それが良いよねアンブレラ

kasanatta marui kage naranderu
honto wa hitotsu sore ga ii yo ne anburera

Alongside piles of other round shadows
only one is real, that’s fine isn’t it? One umbrella

春の風が 新しい出会い予感させて
風見鶏はキミの方に向いてるの わかる?
きっと ずっと これからもね

haru no kaze ga atarashii de ai yokan sasete
kazamidori wa kimi no hou ni muiteru no wakaru
kitto zutto kore kara mo ne

The spring wind gives me a hunch that I’ll meet new people
The rooster on the weather vane is facing you, don’t you know?
Surely, from here on out and forever

泡沫 | utakata | Transience

Or it could be pronounced houmatsu. Requested by Maria. I like IZNA’s lyrics, they tend to flow rather well.

This one’s about someone who seems to be deserted. What could the “Vaguely I continue to show off” and “Somehow, oh would you please display this body of mine, even if I sigh, even if I sigh, so that I won’t be rewarded again” mean, I wonder? The first idea I get from this song is one of a stripper, but hey, it’s all up for your own interpretation.

だれかおねがい
このみをひきさいて
あばれても、もがいても
にげだせぬように
おとをたてて
いのちはくずれおち
おまえさえいなければ
いいきかせ、あ やめて

dareka onegai
kono mi o hiki saite
abaretemo, mogaitemo
nige dasenu you ni
oto o tatete
inochi wa kuzure ochi
omae sae inakereba
ii kikase, a yamete

Somebody, oh would you please
tear this body of mine to shreds
even if I fight back, even if I struggle
so that I can’t run away
I make a sound
“My life is falling apart”
As long as I don’t have you
I’m warning you, ah, give it up

群れを成す 背中が嫌い
彼の色まで淡く見える
飛ぶ鳥 葯を担え
あの人まで運んでおくれ

mure o nasu senaka ga kirai
kano iro made awaku mieru
tobu tori yaku o ninae
ano hito made hakondeokure

I hate it when people turn their backs and form groups
I can faintly see that far colour of his
The flying birds carry pollen
spreading it as far as that person

曖昧に振り回し続け
揺れるあんた方何処さ
生まれたからには
咲いて朽ち果てるの

aimai ni furi mawashi tsuzuke
yureru anta gata doko sa
umareta kara ni wa
saite kuchi hateru no

Vaguely I continue to show off
Where have you all swayed off to?
Now that we’ve been born
we must bloom, then rot and decay

何度も同じ痛みを味わえど
感覚は他人事
ねぇ今何してるの?
宙に描く 「私」は「私」を
どこまでも追いかけて
知らぬ顔で嗤う

nando mo onaji itami o ajiwaedo
kankaku wa taningoto
nee ima nani shiteru no?
chuu ni egaku 「watashi」 wa 「watashi」 o
dokomade mo oikakete
shiranu kao de warau

No matter how many times I taste this same pain
I can’t mind my own business
Hey, what are you doing right now?
I write it in space that “I” am “me”
No matter how far, I’ll chase after you
and I’ll laugh while pretending not to know

吐き捨ててまた繰り返して
色も判らなくなった
欺く群青
遠く見えて消えた

haki sutete mata kurikaeshite
iro mo wakaranaku natta
azamuku gunjou
tooku miete kieta

I spit out, and repeat it again
I can’t understand what colour you even are anymore
A deceiving ultramarine far away
could be seen, until it disappeared

どうかお願い
この身を差し出して
嘆いても嘆いても
二度と報われぬような
痕をつけて私の証明を
世知辛いこの浮世
知らぬ顔で嗤う

douka onegai
kono mi o sashidashite
nageite mo nageite mo
nido to mukuwarenu you na
ato o tsukete watashi no shoumei o
sechigarai kono ukiyo
shiranu kao de warau

Somehow, oh would you please
display this body of mine
even if I sigh, even if I sigh
so that I won’t be rewarded again
I leave behind my tracks as proof I was here
It’s a tough life, this transient life
and I’ll laugh while pretending not to know

innocent

Requested by my friend Chiss. Tegamin saves the day once again, providing the lyrics! I couldn’t find them in any album scans I had, of both the original and remixes. They seem to convey a pretty abstract message.

These lyrics should be exactly identical to the Nhato and Poplica* remixes I believe. I don’t think there’s currently any youtube videos of this original song either, so I’ll have to put one up sometime.

言霊に揺れる灯
爪痕を残す
小さく儚きものは気づくことも無く

kotodama ni yureru akari
tsumeato o nokosu
chiisaku hanaki mono wa kidzuku koto mo naku

The light swaying within the power of words
leaves behind mark
Small and fickle people don’t even notice

移ろいゆく一瞬を
雲のように生きる
微かに香る風だけが存在してた

utsuroi yuku isshun o
kumo no you ni ikiru
kasuka ni kaoru kaze dake ga zonzai shiteta

During a single moment of change
existing just like a cloud
only a faintly fragrant wind existed

螺旋の糸 紡がれて命となれ
廻る廻る月明かりのように
照らされた御影の石段
積み上げ 重ね 永久へ

rasen no shi tsumugarete mei to nare
mawaru mawaru tsuki akari no you ni
terasareta mikage no ishidan
tsumi age kasane towa e

The threads of the spiral are spun to create life
Revolving around and around like the light of the moon
The illuminated stone steps of the divine
lead up and up to eternity

鮮やかに染まる水面
水平線まで
唯一つの瞬きでモノクロに返る

azayaka ni somaru minamo
suiheisen made
tada hitotsu no mabataki de monokuro ni kaeru

The vividly coloured water surface
stretching far to the horizon
turns back to monochrome with the single blink of an eye

限りない思考回路
繋ぐ銀の糸
奥深く続く視界 途切れたとしたら

kagiri nai shokoukairo
tsunagu kin no ito
okufukaku tsudzuku shikai togireta toshitara

This train of thought with no limits
is connected by strings of silver
What if my profoundly extending field of view were to be obstructed?

螺旋の死 免れぬ世の宿命
廻る廻る月明かりのように
隠れ現れてまた消えた
悲嘆することなかれ

rasen no shi manugarenu yo no sadame
meguru meguru tsukiakari no you ni
kakure arawarete mata kieta
hitan suru koto nakare

The fate of an age unable to escape the spiral’s death
goes around, and around like the light of the moon
Exposing the hidden, then again it disappears
I must not grieve

月は 海へと帰り
海は 影にのまれて
影は 光に生まれ
光 月に映る

tsuki wa umi e to kaeri
umi wa kage ni nomarete
kage wa hikari ni umare
hikari tsuki ni utsuru

The moon returns to the sea
The sea is swallowed by the shadows
The shadows are given birth by light
And light is reflected by the moon

螺旋の糸 紡がれて命となれ
廻る廻る月明かりのように
照らされた御影の石段
積み上げ 重ね 永久へ

rasen no shi tsumugarete mei to nare
mawaru mawaru tsukiakari no you ni
terasareta mikage no ishidan
tsumi age kasane towa e

The threads of the spiral are spun to create life
It revolves around and around like the light of the moon
The illuminated stone steps of the divine
are laid up and up to eternity

螺旋の死 免れぬ世の宿命
例え月が沈んだとしても
いずれ巡りまたこの場所へ
灯を燈すだろう

rasen no shi manugarenu yo no sadame
tatoe tsuki ga shizunda toshitemo
izure meguri mata kono basho e
akari o tomosu darou

The fate of an age unable to escape the spiral’s death
just like if the moon were to set
someday once again it’ll come back around to this place
It’ll light up this lamp, won’t it?

Forget the lie

I kinda rushed on this one, I’ve been beyond tired today. I’ve been trying to improve my lyric analysis skills lately, so lets see, what can I say about this one? A girl gets betrayed and stops acknowledging his existence, not wanting to forgive, and the guy tries to gain back her trust. She realizes she needs him, and so “forgets the lie”? That sounds about right.

ねぇ教えて
笑顔の裏
この瞳の中
あなたがいない

nee oshiete
egao no ura
kono me no naka
anata ga inai

Hey, let me know
what’s behind your smile
Within these eyes
you have no presence

沈み往く静けさ溺れて
藍の胎内で眠り続けよう
この生が枯れ果てるまで

shizumi yuku shizukesa oborete
ao no naka de nemuri tsudzukeyou
kono sei ga kare hateru made

Drowning in this sinking silence
lets continue to sleep deep in this indigo
until our lives expire

You forget the lie 私だけに
許されたいのなら全て
叩きつけた言葉の理由さえ
You forget the lie あなただけは
二人の空忘れないで
叫び声深く沈む泡のような秘密の指切り

You forget the lie watashi dake ni
yurusaretai no nara subete
tataki tsuketa kotoba no riyuu sae
You forget the lie anata dake wa
futari no sora wasurenai de
sakebi goe fukaku shizumu awa no you na himitsu no yubikiri

You forget the lie, if the only person
you want to be forgiven by is me, then give me everything
even the reason you threw all those words around
You forget the lie
at least without forgetting our sky
Your shouts deeply sink down – A pinky promise like foam

ねぇ忘れて
涙の痕
重なる夢
せめてこのまま

nee wasurete
namida no ato
kasanaru yume
semete kono mama

Come on and forget
the tear streaks
Dreaming and dreaming
no more than this

浮かんでは流され彷徨い
失くした鍵閉ざした扉も
見つけてくれたあなただけ

ukande wa nagasare samayoi
nakushita kagi tozashita tobira mo
mitsukete kureta anata dake

What floats comes to roam as it flows around
I’ve lost the key, and the door is locked
The only one to help me find it was you

I forget the lie あなたの為
信じた全てを捨てても
怖くないよ独りの夜も今
I forget the lie 真実なら
二人の鼓動感じ合って
君の声遠く響く嘘のような最後の指切り

I forget the lie anata no tame
shinjita subete o sutetemo
kowakunai yo hitori no yoru mo ima
I forget the lie shinjitsu nara
futari no kodou kanji atte
kimi no koe tooku hibiku uso no you na saigo no yubikiri

I forget the lie, for your sake
even if I throw away everything I believed
I fear nothing, not even lonely nights, right now
I forget the lie, if this is reality
We’ll come together and feel our hearts beat
A final pinky promise just like a lie from your ringing, distant voice
