nando yume o mite
akiramete kita no hikari ni todoku made
onaji yume o mite
tashika ni kanjiru kaze mo oto mo hikari mo
nando yume o mite namida to tameiki
koboshi tsudzuketa no kana
onaji yume o mite ugoki dasu sube o
watashi wa shitteru kana
Ahh, how many dreams have I dreamt? I’ve come to give up, until I can reach the light Dreaming the same dream again It feels as if it’s real, complete with wind, sound and light How many dreams have I dreamt? How many more tears and sighs will I continue to let out? Dreaming the same dream again, do I actually know how to wake up…?
In all honesty, this should’ve been one of the first songs I translated, I’ve been planning to for so long. My favorite one from the album~

ゆらゆらゆれる
静かに触れる
確かに見える
短い夢 淡い色
yurayura yureru
shizuka ni fureru
tashika ni mieru
mijikai yume awai iro
Slowly slowly swaying Tenderly touching Certainly seeing the fading colours of a short dream
幻を見続けるから
ほらまた舞い落ちる
幻を見続けるから
ほらまた舞い落ちるの
maboroshi o mi tsudzukeru kara
hora mata mai ochiru
maboroshi o mi tsudzukeru kara
hora mata mai ochiru no
Ever since gazing at that vision look it ｆlutters down again Ever since gazing at that vision look it’s fluttering down again
ashita sae mirai sae wakari aenai mama
hitori ashita no mienai kyou o ureu
anata sae boku de sae mayotteiru noni mo
imi ga aru bokura tsunaideru et Cetera
As we can’t come to understand tomorrow or the future alone we lament the today in which we can not see tomorrow Even though you and me are both losing our ways there is a meaning, we are connected et cetera
星の見えない夜も風のない日も
短い花の香りが終わる日も
どうしようもないくらい
あなたに続いてる
意味がある 僕ら 繋いでる et Cetera
hoshi no mienai yoru mo kaze no nai hi mo
mijikai hana no kaori ga owaru hi mo
doushiyou mo nai kurai
anata ni tsudzuiteru
imi ga aru bokura tsunaideru et Cetera
Even on the windless nights that the stars can’t be seen even on the days that the flower’s fragrances stop short there’s not much that we can do I will keep on following you there is a meaning, we are connected et cetera
くるくるまわる
密かに触れる
わずかに見える
哀しい夢 淡い嘘
kurukuru mawaru
hisoka ni fureru
wazuka ni mieru
kanashii yume awai uso
Spinning in a spiral privately prodding only slightly seeing the fading lies of a sad dream
幻を見続けるから
ほらまた舞い落ちる
幻を見続けるから
ほらまた舞い落ちるの
maboroshi o mi tsudzukeru kara
hora mata mai ochiru
maboroshi o mi tsudzukeru kara
hora mata mai ochiru no
Ever since gazing at that vision look it ｆlutters down again Ever since gazing at that vision look it’s fluttering down again
無くした物を一緒に探してくれた
大事なものも一緒に見つけてくれた
あなたさえ 僕でさえ 迷っているのにも
意味がある 僕ら 信じてる et Cetera
nakushita mono o issho ni sagashite kureta
daiji na mono mo issho ni mitsukete kureta
anata sae boku de sae mayotteiru noni mo
imi ga aru bokura shinjiteru et Cetera
Together you helped me search for what was lost Together you helped me find precious things Even though you and I are both losing our ways there is a meaning, we have have faith et cetera
雪が消えない夜に独り叫んでも
微かな花の香りに頼っても
どうしようもないくらい
あなたに続いてる
意味がある 僕ら 繋いでる et Cetera
yuki ga kienai yoru ni hitori sakendemo
kasuka na hana no kaori ni tayottemo
doushiyou mo nai kurai
anata ni tsudzuiteru
imi ga aru bokura tsunaideru et Cetera
Even during the nights the snow vanishes when I’m yelling alone Even when I’m desperate for the faint flower’s fragrance
there’s not much that we can do
I will keep on following you there is a meaning, we are connected et cetera
幻を見続けるから
幻を見続けるから
maboroshi o mi tsudzukeru kara
maboroshi o mi tsudzukeru kara
Ever since gazing at that vision Ever since gazing at that vision

kikkake wa itsu demo totsuzen furu

Chances always fall when you least expect them The weather forecast is correct, although our future I can not predict, because I’ve only been focusing on what is right now “Tomorrow’s forecast is a clear, sunny sky” the notice I was expecting probably won’t come Tomorrow’s prediction is the same as always Since that’s the case, without changing I will escape from this
tsuyogari ja nakute jikobouei
jouhou no umi e to tobi konde

taikan ondo o mushi shite sa

watashi no tsukutta kono sekai de
anata ni de aeta kono kiseki
It’s not an act of courage, it’s self-defense Diving out into the sea of information just drifting between these linked worlds ignoring the temperature Being nearly frozen is very like me I’ve got a hunch that I can feel a heat for you In this world that I created being able to meet you was a miracle
kijou no kuuron chuu o mau ai
sunao ni narenai koigokoro

kakushiteru kii mitsukete yo
kijou no kuuron chuu o mau ai

hontou no koto o shiritai no nara
pasuwaado komando nyuuryoku shite
Love fluttering in the air, an empty theory I can’t be honest to my love’s awakening Stringing together words so you can’t notice It’s up to you to find the hidden key Grief dancing in the air, an empty theory This is the trap for love set by digital devices If you want to know the truth input the password command
kikkake wa itsu demo totsuzen furu

hazurete hoshii to negatte temo

akirame hanbun sonna hibi o
shikakui heya e to oshi kondara
sekai no haguruma mawari dashita
Chances always fall when you least expect them The weather forecast is off place, although our future’s prediction is understandable despite wishing that it would miss the mark Almost hitting a depressing pattern I’ve half given up on daily life When cramped into this rectangular room the wheels of the world still turn without me
yowai koto kurai wakatteru no

shinjite ii kana anata nara
What I’m doing is weak, I understand that Seriously joking around in camouflage Seen in my eyes are only letters of turmoil Echoing in my head, overlapping truth and lies are overflowing I just stood still, you took my hand and you stayed with me on a whim If it’s you, is it alright to have faith?
kijou no kuuron chuu o mau ai

I never would have guessed this song had prostitution related implications until it was pointed out. Made more mistakes in this my first time around than I’d like to admit, but hey, it’s all good practice!

negaigoto ga kanau iya na urikotoba
kuchi dake no mono nara ima wa irimasen
anata ga nozomu mono nakami no nai 「ai」?
sore ni imi nai nara ohiki tori kudasai
They say that wishes tend to come true, those are some provoking words If it’s just word of mouth then that’s not really needed now Is all that you desire just a “love” without substance? On top of that, if it’s pointless, oh please, take your leave
negaigoto iereba negai wa kanau no?
ai o kataru naraba soko ni ai wa aru?
kotoba narabetetemo nakami karappo yo
yume o kataru naraba negoto dake ni shite ne
If I can speak of my wish then will it possibly come true? If I were to talk about love would love then be there? Despite setting up my words their contents are still empty If I talk about my dreams then all it sounds like is sleep talk
sokubaku sare jikan mo naku ugokenakute kurushii mama
nani mo dekizu ubawareteru watashi no ima hitotsu jiyuu
nigerarezu ni kuri kaeshita onaji sagyou susumanu toki
sokubaku kara nige dashitai genjitsu kara nige dashitai
Restrained in these shackles, time is non-existent, unable to move, remaining in pain Without being able to do anything, it has been snatched away, my now one and only precious freedom Without being able to run, it has just repeated, this same operation in this unmoving time Away from these shackles I want to run away, from this reality I want to escape
afure dasu omoi wa yuku ate mo nakute
tsukandeta mono sae uso ni mieteru
yume o ou mono wa yume ni kuwareru
hoshii no wa tada no 「jiyuu」
afure dasu omoi wa yuku ate mo nakute
tsukandeta mono sae uso ni mieteiru
ima wa jiyuu sae kawanai to dame?
hoshii mono wa 「jiyuu」
These overflowing feelings are flooding out aimlessly The things I had caught hold of are all appearing to be lies People who live for their dreams just get eaten up by them All that I want is simply just “freedom” These overflowing feelings are flooding out aimlessly The things I had caught hold of are all appearing to be lies Right now, I just need freedom, is it something I must buy? What I want is “freedom”
shiawase te ni ireru muda na urikotoba
kuchi dake no mono nara subete irimasen
watashi ga nozomu mono nakami aru kotoba
sore ni imi nai nara ohiki tori kudasai
“You can obtain happiness” just useless, rousing words If it’s just word of mouth then it’s completely unneeded The kind of thing that I desire are words with substance On top of that, if it’s just pointless, oh please, take your leave
negaigoto tonaete sono mama netereba?
hito o aisu no nara soko ni ai wa aru?
kotoba narabetetemo nakami karappo ne
yume o kataru naraba negoto dake ni shite ne
If I pray up my wish then what will happen when I wake up? If I were to love people, would love then exist there? Despite setting up my words their contents are still empty If I talk about my dreams then all it sounds like is sleep talk
sokubaku sae teikou sezu kawaranakute nagareru mama
onaji koto o kuri kaeshite hitotsu kieta watashi jishin
nige dasezu ni shitagau dake onaji sagyou onaji jikan
genjitsu kara nuke dashitai kono basho kara nuke dashitai
Restrained in these shackles without resistance. forever unchanging, remaining flowing The same thing as before, repeating it again. one thing has vanished, me, myself, and I Without being able to run I can only obey. this same operation in this same time Away from reality I want to slip away. from this place I want to break away
afuredasu omoi wa yuku saki mo miezu
tsukandeta mono nara subete uso da yo
yume o ou mono wa yume ni tsumadzuku
hoshii no ga tada no 「jiyuu」
afure dasu namida wa izure wa kare hate
tsukandeta mono nara koko ni wa nai no yo
okane ga nai nara kigen wa kireta
kieta mono wa 「jiyuu」
These overflowing feelings, where they’re going is yet unseen The things I had caught hold of are all completely lies People who live for their dreams just trip up all over them
All that I want is simply that “freedom” These overflowing tears will eventually come to dry up The things I had caught of are nowhere to be found here If you have run out of money then that’s all, your time is up What has disappeared is “freedom”
