Tegamin reminded me the other day that Linjin has stated that he wants his latest songs kept off youtube. That explains why there hasn’t been any videos on my posts lately – they must’ve all been taken down.

Notes: This song is more vague than is usual. Neither the words “me” or “you” is mentioned a single time, not once, so, as I do when translating songs like these, I wrote down a ___ in place of where any personal pronouns should be, and filled it out according to how it sounded like it should be. For example, in the case of “And then, someday ___ notice won’t _?”, it wouldn’t make sense for the speaker to notice that she would notice something, because that would mean she already noticed it! Given that the those stanzas end with that, I figured the subject of the following would also be the “you,” and generally worked on it based around that.

★ Title: A TRANSIENT LOVE

この手の隙間からまた　こぼれ落ちる砂模様
それでも風に吹かれて　巡りまた届くかも
そして　いつか気づくでしょう
誰かの想いに　包まれていた事
たとえ一人でも…

kono te no sukima kara mata kobore ochiru suna moyou
sore demo kaze ni fukarete meguri mata todoku kamo
soshite itsu ka kidzuku deshou
dare ka no omoi ni tsutsumareteita koto
tatoe hitori demo…

Out from the opening of these hands, it seems like sand will scatter out again
but even so, it’ll blow away in the wind, go around and maybe come back again
And then, someday you’ll notice won’t you?
That you’ve been wrapped up in someone’s feelings all along
even if you’re all alone…

胸を焦がすこの小さな日々に
もう少し　夢を見ていたいから
胸を焦がすこの小さな夢が
まだ少し　色付いて　魅せるなら
ほら　笑顔が輝く　まだ　希望が輝く
ほら　儚い想いに　また　新しい花が咲く

mune o kogasu kono chiisana hibi ni
mou sukoshi yume o miteitai kara
mune o kogasu kono chiisana yume ga
mada sukoshi irodzuite miseru nara
hora egao ga kagayaku mada kibou ga kagayaku
hora hakanai omoi ni mata atarashii hana ga saku

During these little days your chest fills with heat
because you want to stay dreaming just a little bit longer
If this small dream that fills your chest with heat
still changes colours and can bewitch
then look, smiles will shine, and still, hope will shine
and look, in faint feelings, again, new flowers will bloom

この目の視線の先に　滲み光る　涙は
いつかは風に吹かれて　意味を持ち乾くかも

kono me no shisen no saki ni nijimi hikaru namida wa
itsu ka wa kaze ni fukarete imi o mochi kawaku kamo

At the end of how far these eyes can see are spreading and shining tears
Soon enough, they’ll blow in the wind, maybe hold meaning and then dry up

だけど　いつか気づくでしょう
誰かの想いに　生かされていた事
たとえ一人でも…

dakedo itsu ka kidzuku deshou
dare ka no omoi ni ikasareteita koto
tatoe hitori demo…

However, someday you’ll notice won’t you?
That you’ve been kept alive by someone’s feelings all along
even if you’re all alone…

胸を焦がすこの小さな色で
もう少し　夢を描きたいから
胸を焦がすこの小さな日々が
また少し　近づいて　くれるなら
ほら　世界がささやく　まだ　希望をささやく
ほら　儚い想いに　また　懐かしい花が咲く

mune o kogasu kono chiisana iro de
mou sukoshi yume o egakitai kara
mune o kogasu kono chiisana hibi ga
mata sukoshi chikadzuite kureru nara
hora sekai ga sasayaku mada kibou o sasayaku
hora hakanai omoi ni mata natsukashii hana ga saku

Through these colours your chest fills with heat
because you want to paint your dreams just a little bit more
If these little days that fill your chest with heat
will draw a little bit closer for you again
then look, the world will whisper, and still, hope will be whispered of
and look, in faint feelings, again, nostalgic flowers will bloom

胸を焦がすこの小さな日々に
もう少し　夢を見ていたいから
胸を焦がすこの小さな夢が
まだ少し　色付いて　魅せるなら
ほら　笑顔が輝く　まだ　希望が輝く
ほら　儚い想いに　また　新しい花が咲く

mune o kogasu kono chiisana hibi ni
mou sukoshi yume o miteitai kara
mune o kogasu kono chiisana yume ga
mada sukoshi irodzuite miseru nara
hora egao ga kagayaku mada kibou ga kagayaku
hora hakanai omoi ni mata atarashii hana ga saku

During these little days your chest fills with heat
because you want to stay dreaming just a little bit longer
If this small dream that fills your chest with heat
still changes colours and can bewitch
then look, smiles will shine, and still, hope will shine
and look, in faint feelings, again, new flowers will bloom

If you’ve ever wondered how good you are at speaking Japanese, try singing along. To say this song is fast paced would be an understatement.

信じたふりをしただけ　わかったふりをしただけ
今は浮かんでいたいだけ　それだけなのに

shinjita furi o shita dake wakatta furi o shita dake
ima wa ukandeitai dake sore dake nanoni

I only pretended to believe, I only pretended to understand
Right now I just want to float about, that and that alone

曖昧なものばかり　真実のふりをしてる
正しさの意味　教えてよ　流した涙で　溺れる前に

aimai na mono bakari shinjitsu no furi o shiteru
tadashisa no imi oshiete yo nagashita namida de oboreru mae ni

Although everything is unclear, all just pretending to be real
Teach me the point of truth, before I drown in all the tears I’ve shed

crush on this word　言葉を探して
crush on this world　世界を探して

crush on this word kotoba o sagashite
crush on this world sekai o sagashite

crush on this word, search for the word
crush on this world search for the world

僕の存在も　君の存在も　全部消えちゃえばいい
距離も空間も　境界線も　全部消えちゃえばいい
「さよなら」だって「おやすみ」だって　全部消えちゃっていいんだ
僕ら消えたって　変わらないんだって　この世界は

My existence, your existence, I wish everything would be deleted
Distance and space, borderlines too, I wish everything would be deleted
With a “good bye” or with a “good night” if it all became deleted it’d be great
because even if we were deleted nothing would change in this world

罪の存在も　過ぎた偶像も　全部消えちゃえばいい
音も旋律も　聴きたくないよ　全部消えちゃえばいい
「さよなら」なんて　「ありがとう」なんて　いらないんだって
I は　そんな世界で　１つになって　生きていく

The existence of sin, idols that have passed, I wish everything would be deleted
I don’t want to listen to any sounds or tunes, I wish everything would be deleted
I don’t need any “good byes” or any “thank yous” because after all
in that kind of world I’ll become whole and live on

探したふりをしただけ　見つけたふりをしただけ
今は眠っていたいだけ　それだけなのに

sagashita furi o shita dake mitsuketa furi o shita dake
ima wa nemutteitai dake sore dake nanoni

I only pretended to search, I only pretended to have found
Right now I just want to be asleep, that and that alone

目が覚める事はない　このまま溶けてしまいたい
世界の意味を　教えてよ　壊した世界で　壊れる前に

me ga sameru koto wa nai kono mama tokete shimaitai
sekai no imi o oshiete yo kowashita sekai de kowareru mae ni

Although there’s nothing to wake me up, I just want to fade away like this
Teach me the point of the world, before I break myself in this broken world

crush on this word　心を壊して
crush on this world　世界を壊して

crush on this word kokoro o kowashite
crush on this world sekai o kowashite

crush on this word, destroy your heart
crush on this world, destroy the world

My existence, your existence, I wish everything would be deleted
No matter whose prayers, dreams or desires, I wish everything would be deleted
With a “good bye” or with a “good night” if it all became deleted it’d be great
because even if everything were deleted nothing would change in this world

罪の衝動も　過ぎた幻影も　全部消えちゃえばいい

The impulses of sin, visions that have passed, I wish everything would be deleted
I don’t want to know about the truth either, I wish everything would be deleted
I don’t need any “good byes” or any “thank yous” because after all
in this kind of world I’ll become whole and be deleted

crush on this word 言葉を許して
