Wave Wave Wave

I think I overlooked a few tracks from I, SCREAM. This album is better than I remember. This song seems to be about someone who feels that someone is out of their league, that the person is too good/perfect for the speaker, but the speaker tries her best to get that person’s attention anyways.

ゆらり ゆら ゆらゆら
ゆれる 光 流れて落ちる 光に
映り ただ ゆっくり
滲む 世界に 何を 落として

yurari yura yurayura
yureru hikari nagarete ochiru hikari ni
utsuri tada yukkuri
nijimu sekai ni nani o otoshite

Swaying, swaying back and forth
Swaying light reflecting in flowing and falling
light,
merely at ease
What will I drop in this blurry world?

ゆらり ゆら ゆらゆら
ゆれる 気持ち 剥がれて落ちる 未来に
映り 何を願い 何を探したまま
ただ ゆらゆら

yurari yura yurayura
yureru kimochi hagarete ochiru mirai ni
utsuri nani o negai nani o sagashita mama
tada yurayura

Swaying, swaying back and forth
Swaying feelings reflecting in a detaching and falling
future,
what do you wish for? What have you been searching for
while simply swaying?

澄んだ 君の心は広すぎて
どんな言葉 一雫 落としたところで
何も変わらない

sunda kimi no kokoro wa hiro sugite
donna kotoba hitoshizuku otoshita tokoro de
nanimo kawaranai

Your cleared heart is much too spacious
No matter where I shed a drop of words
nothing changes

your voice it’s just like a WAVE
your smile it’s just like a WAVE
寄せては返して make waves to the beat
your sign it’s just like a WAVE
your call it’s just like a WAVE
揺さぶる 感じる make waves

your voice it’s just like a WAVE
your smile it’s just like a WAVE
yosete wa kaeshite make waves to the beat
your sign it’s just like a WAVE
your call it’s just like a WAVE
yusaburu kanjiru make waves

your voice it’s just like a WAVE
your smile it’s just like a WAVE
break onto the shore and retreat, make waves to the beat
your sign it’s just like a WAVE
your call it’s just like a WAVE
shake, feel, make waves

例え 届かなくても 泳ぎきってみせるから
心に伝えたい 次は僕からの WAVE

tatoe todokanakutemo oyogi kitte miseru kara
kokoro ni tsutaetai tsugi wa boku kara no WAVE

Because even if I can’t reach you, I’ll show you my swimming
I want to convey to your heart, next up is a WAVE from me

ゆらり ゆら ゆらゆら
ゆれる ように 刺さって落ちる 心に
痛み ただ ゆっくり
甘い 痛みに 何を 求めて

yurari yura yurayura
yureru you ni sasatte ochiru kokoro ni
itami tada yukkuri
amai itami ni nani o motomete

Swaying, swaying back and forth
In my pierced and falling heart, as if it’s swaying
is a pain, simply at ease
What do you seek in this sweet pain?

ゆらり ゆら ゆらゆら
ゆらり ゆらり ゆらゆら ゆれる 心は
ゆらり 君を願い 君を探したまま
ただ ゆらゆら

yurari yura yurayura
yurari yurari  yurayura yureru kokoro wa
yurari kimi o negai kimi o sagashita mama
tada yurayura

Swaying, swaying back and forth
Swaying swaying, my swaying heart swaying back and forth
sways, wishes for you, has been searching for you
simply swaying back and forth

そうだ 僕の心は狭すぎて
君の言葉 一雫 落とされただけで
どこへも行けない

sou da boku no kokoro wa sema sugite
kimi no kotoba hitoshizuku otosareta dake de
doko e mo ikenai

That’s right, my heart is much too confined
With just a single drop of your words
I can’t go anywhere

your face it’s just like a WAVE
your style it’s just like a WAVE
波間に浮かんで make waves to the beat
your word it’s just like a WAVE
your dream it’s just like a WAVE
震える 感じる make waves

your face it’s just like a WAVE
your style it’s just like a WAVE
namima ni ukande make waves to the beat
your word it’s just like a WAVE
your dream it’s just like a WAVE
furueru kanjiru make waves

your face it’s just like a WAVE
your style it’s just like a WAVE
float on the waves, make waves to the beat
your word it’s just like a WAVE
your dream it’s just like a WAVE
shiver, feel, make waves

例え 叶わなくても 泳ぎきってみせるから
どうか響かせて それは君からの WAVE

tatoe kanawanakutemo oyogi kitte miseru kara
douka hibikasete sore wa kimi kara no WAVE

Because even if my wish doesn’t come true, I’ll show you my swimming
Please let it resound, the WAVE from you

澄んだ 君の心は眩しくて
僕の心 一雫 落とすことなんて
許されないけど

sunda kimi no kokoro wa mabushikute
boku no kokoro hitoshizuku otosu koto nante
yurusarenai kedo

Your cleared up heart is dazzling
If I were to do something like shed a drop of my heart
I wouldn’t be forgiven however

Because even if I can’t reach you, I’ll show you my swimming
I want to convey to your heart, next up is a WAVE from me

World Beyond

This song really sounds like it could be an anime opening, even the lyrics resemble one. I’m thinking of Railgun in particular though.

心を 一つに できたなら
この世界に 溢れてる
哀しみだとか 涙とか 全部消してしまえるのかな
この痛みも 幻に 変わる日がきっと来るよ
揺れる世界に今 響いてく 独り 希望を願う歌

kokoro o hitotsu ni dekita nara
kono sekai ni afureteru
kanashimi da toka namida toka zenbu keshite shimaeru no kana
kono itami mo maboroshi ni kawaru hi ga kitto kuru yo
yureru sekai ni ima hibiite ku hitori kibou o negau uta

If I’ve managed to make my heart whole
then I wonder if I’ll be able to end up erasing
all the sadness and tears overflowing in this world
The day will surely come when this pain will become just a dream
In this shaking world, right now, my song of wishing for hope will ring

ひらひら舞い落ちてく 想い出 風の中
懐かしい香りがして 心を揺らす
この声を風に乗せ どこかに届くなら
何かが変わる気がして 心を揺らす

hirahira mai ochite ku omoide kaze no naka
natsukashii kaori ga shite kokoro o yurasu
kono koe o kaze ni nose doko ka ni todoku nara
nani ka ga kawaru ki ga shite kokoro o yurasu

Memories flutter and dance down within the wind
A nostalgic scent is produced and shakes my heart
If I place my voice on the wind and send it off somewhere
I have a feeling something will change, and it’ll rock my heart

優しいあの夜空の星の記憶が
きら きら 輝いてる

yasashii ano yozora no hoshi no kioku ga
kirakira kagayaiteru

My tender memories of the stars of that night sky go
twinkle twinkle, they glitter like that

傷つくばかりで 笑えずに 明けない夜 走ってる
哀しみだとか 涙とか 見えないほどの暗闇を
その痛みも 優しさに 変わる日がきっと来るよ
揺れる世界を今 越えていく 独り 強さを願う歌

kizutsuku bakari de waraezu ni akenai yoru hashitteru
kanashimi da toka namida toka mienai hodo no kurayami o
sono itami mo yasashisa ni kawaru hi ga kitto kuru yo
yureru sekai o ima koete yuku hitori tsuyosa o negau uta

I only got hurt, unable to laugh I’m running away from the endless night
Whether it’s sorrow or tears, the darkness is so dark I can’t see them
The day will surely come when even that pain will turn into kindness
I’ll exceed this shaking world, right now, with my song of wishing for strength

信じてた空の色 想い出 風の中
何かが終わる気がして 心を揺らす

shinjiteta sora no iro omoide kaze no naka
nani ka ga owaru ki ga shite kokoro o yurasu

Within the wind with my memories and the colours of the sky I believed in
I have a feeling something will end, and it’ll rock my heart

優しいあの日見せた笑顔が 今も
まだ まだ 輝いてる

yasashii ano hi miseta egao ga ima mo
mada mada kagayaiteru

The gentle smile you showed me back then still
even, even now sparkles

素直になれずに 笑えずに この世界で 迷ってる
哀しみだとか 涙とか 全部消してしまいたいよ

sunao ni narezu ni waraezu ni kono sekai de mayotteru
kanashimi da toka namida toka zenbu keshite shimaitai yo

Unable to be honest, unable to smile, I’m lost in this world
Whether it’s sorrow or tears, I want to end up erasing them all

この手をあげて 叫んだら
変わるものがあるのなら

kono te o agete sakendara
kawaru mono ga aru no nara

If I raise up my arms and let out a shout
if there’s anything thing that will change

滲む世界に今 響いてく 独り 希望を願う歌

nijimu sekai ni ima hibiite ku hitori kibou o negau uta

In this blurry world, right now, my song of wishing for hope will ring

傷つけたくない ものばかり
傷つけてしまうんだね

kizutsuketakunai mono bakari
kuzutsukete shimau n da ne

The people I don’t want to hurt
I always end up giving pain to them don’t I?

哀しみだとか 涙とか もう見たくないはずなのに

kanashimi da toka namida toka mou mitakunai hazu nanoni

Despite my intention to never want to see sadness or tears again

この痛みの その意味を 解る日がいつか来たら

kono itami no sono imi o wakaru hi ga itsuka kitara

If the day when I understand the meaning of this pain someday comes

揺れる世界がほら ささやくよ “強くなれる”と―

yureru sekai ga hora sasayaku yo “tsuyoku nareru” to

this shaking world will, look out, whisper “I can become strong”

心を 一つに できたなら
この世界に 溢れてる
哀しみだとか 涙とか 全部消してしまえるのかな
この痛みも 幻に 変わる日がきっと来るよ
揺れる世界に今 響いてく 独り 希望を願う歌

kokoro o hitotsu ni dekita nara
kono sekai ni afureteru
kanashimi da toka namida toka zenbu keshite shimaeru no kana
kono itami mo maboroshi ni kawaru hi ga kitto kuru yo

If I’ve managed to make my heart whole
then I wonder if I’ll be able to end up erasing
all the sadness and tears overflowing in this world
The day will surely come when this pain will become just a dream
In this shaking world, right now, my song of wishing for hope will ring

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

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?)

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