I love when a good translation comes together. When the lyrics are so down to earth that it actually looks like you know what you’re doing.

暗がりで　膝抱えて
繋いでいた　夕日の色
誰にも　気にされないで
消えてなくなりたかった

kuragari de hiza kakaete
tsunaideta yuuhi no iro
dare ni mo ki ni sarenai de
kiete naku naritakatta

In the dark I held my knees
and connected the colours of sunset
With no one to care
I wanted to disappear and die off

捨てられないものばかり
集めては　微笑んでた
誰のための物語？
いつから迷い込んでた？

suterarenai mono bakari
atsumete wa hohoendeta
dare no tame no monogatari?
itsu kara mayoi kondeta?

I just can’t throw these things away
I smiled as I collected them
Just who’s sake is this story for?
How long has it been since I’ve gone astray?

あの日に浮かんだ笑い声
今の僕の悲鳴にも　似ていて

ano hi ni ukanda waraigoe
ima no boku no himei ni mo niteite

The laughter that floated around on that day
also resembles the shrieks of the present me

小さな部屋で　夢を散りばめて
願っていたの　ただ願っていたの
感情は消しておいて
心に突き刺さるから
ああ　今も

chiisa na heya de yume o chiri bamete
negatteita no tada negatteita no
kanjou wa keshite oite
kokoro ni tsuki sasaru kara
aa ima mo

Within this small room studded with dreams
I wished, I did nothing but wish
I’ll erase my emotions while I’m ahead
my heart will be impaled after all
Ah, even now

ienai

言えない

I can’t speak

心満たされないまま
繋いでいた　曇り空に
映した　幼さの色
ズレ始めた　物語

kokoro mitasarenai mama
tsunaideita kumorizora ni
utsushita osanasa no iro
zure hajimeta monogatari

Unable to fill my heart’s desires
colours of immaturity were reflected
in the connected cloudy sky
This story started to fall out of place

あからさまな結末に
おびえては　微笑んでた
僕のための物語
崩れて書き直すばかり

akarasama na ketsumatsu ni
obiete wa hohoendeta
boku no tame no monogatari
kuzurete kakinaosu bakari

They smile as I become afraid of
a plain and simple ending
This story is for my sake
merely crumbling and being rewritten

あの日に壊した笑い声
今の僕の悲鳴にも　聴こえて

ano hi ni kowashita waraigoe
ima no boku no himei ni mo kikoete

The laughter destroyed on that day
also sounds like the shrieks of the me now

小さな部屋で　星を散りばめて
祈っていたの　ただ祈っていたの
離れて　また近づいて
笑顔で　傷つけるから
ああ　今も

chiisa na heya de hoshi o chiri bamete
inotteita no tada inotteita no
hanarete mata chikadzuite
egao de kizutsukeru kara
aa ima mo

Within this small room studded with dreams
I prayed, I did nothing but pray
Growing apart and then drawing near again
they hurt me with their smiles after all
Ah, even now

癒えない

ienai

I’ll never heal

小さな部屋で　夢を散りばめて
願っていたの　ただ願っていたの
感情は消しておいて
心に突き刺さるから
ああ　今も

chiisa na heya de yume o chiri bamete
negatteita no tada negatteita no
kanjou wa keshite oite
kokoro ni tsuki sasaru kara
aa ima mo

Within this small room studded with dreams
I wished, I did nothing but wish
I’ll erase my emotions while I’m ahead
my heart will be impaled after all
Ah, even now

言えない

ienai

I can’t speak

遠い　夕べの　追憶への旅路の
寂しげに　消えて行く　その景色　甘い嘘
一握の　願いまで　崩れて　また

tooi yuube no tsuioku e no tabiji no
samishige ni kiete yuku sono keshiki amai uso
ichiaku no negai made kuzurete mata

That lonelily disappearing scenery of a journey
leading towards reminiscence of a far night was a sweet lie
It’ll crumble again, until only a handful of wishes are left

君が教えてくれた　美しい希望の色さえも
いつかは　幻に映る

kimi ga oshiete kureta utsukushii kibou no iro sae mo
itsuka wa maboroshi ni utsuru

Even the beautiful colour of hope that you taught me about
will someday be displayed as an illusion

ほ　ら　it was from the blue sky to the ocean
ゆらゆら　流れていく　光
ま　だ　I was floating in the virtual reality
偽り　続けてる　世界に
ほ　ら　it was from the blue sky to the ocean
物言わぬ　想いは　君の
ま　だ　I was crying in the virtual reality
瞳に　映りこんでいる

hora it was from the blue sky to the ocean
yurayura nagerete iku hikari
mada I was floating in the virtual reality
itsuwari tsudzuketeru sekai ni
hora it was from the blue sky to the ocean
mono iwanu omoi wa kimi no
mada I was crying in the virtual reality
hitomi ni utsuri kondeiru

Look, it was from the blue sky to the ocean
light that streams flickering back and forth
Again, I was floating in the virtual reality
in a world that continues to deceive
Look, it was from the blue sky to the ocean
The thoughts that I’m too shy to speak
Again, I was crying in the virtual reality
are taken in by your eyes

追い　かけていた　郷愁への光を
寂しげに　弄び　語る差異　見えぬ罠
一握の　想いまで　崩れて　また

oi kaketeita kyoushuu e no hikari o
samishige ni moteasobi kataru sai mienu wana
ichiaku no omoi made kuzurete mata

That difference of talking and lonelily playing with
the light leading towards nostalgia that I pursued was an invisible trap
It’ll crumble again, until only a handful of feelings are left

君が教えてくれた　あの景色は今どこにあるの
未だ　応える声は無く

kimi ga oshiete kureta ano keshiki wa ima doko ni aru no
imada kotaeru koe wa naku

Where is the landscape that you taught me about now?
There still isn’t a voice to respond to me     

ほ　ら　it was from the blue sky to the ocean
ゆらゆら　移っていく　季節
ま　だ　I was floating in the virtual reality
偽り　震えてる　鼓動に
ほ　ら　it was from the blue sky to the ocean
何度も　呼んでは　いるのに
ま　だ　I was crying in the virtual reality
そこには　たどり着けずに

hora it was from the blue sky to the ocean
yurayura utsutte iku kisetsu
mada I was floating in the virtual reality
itsuwari furueteru kodou ni
hora it was from the blue sky to the ocean
nando mo yonde wa iru noni
mada I was crying in the virtual reality
soko ni wa tadori tsukezu ni

Look, it was from the blue sky to the ocean
seasons that slowly sway as they pass by
Again, I was floating in the virtual reality
in the pulse that trembles with lies
Look, it was from the blue sky to the ocean
even though I’ve been here callling out plentily
Again, I was crying in the virtual reality
without arriving in that place

これは現実？
(これは幻)
それでもいいよ
(それでもいいよ)
そばにいて　くれるのなら

kore wa genjitsu?
(kore wa maboroshi?)
sore demo ii yo
(sore demo ii yo)
soba ni ite kureru no nara

Is this reality?
(Is this a dream?)
That’s fine anyways
(That’s fine anyways)
If you’ll stay beside me

ほ　ら　it was from the blue sky to the ocean
ゆらゆら　流れていく　光
ま　だ　I was floating in the virtual reality
偽り　続けてる　世界に
ほ　ら　it was from the blue sky to the ocean
物言わぬ　想いは　君の
ま　だ　I was crying in the virtual reality
瞳に　映りこんでいる

hora it was from the blue sky to the ocean
yurayura nagerete iku hikari

Look, it was from the blue sky to the ocean
light that streams flickering back and forth
Again, I was floating in the virtual reality

Look, it was from the blue sky to the ocean

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…
