青い春　and 揶揄 Lyric Translations

2013-02-03T17:30:15Z

青い春　(Youthful Spring)

Save me, if you were there
I guess I don't have to sing this kind of song
But save me, let's sing together
And we'll be as one for now and forever

ふと朝起きて　「もう終わりだね…」　なんて言われたら悲しいから
僕達だけの青き春を　いつまででも一緒に　生きていこうよ
I wake up in the morning, “It’s already over…” Because I have been saddened by these words
So we shall live on together always with our youthful spring　　　　　　　　　　　　　

電車の中から見える　セメント色した世界も　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
僕等が照らすよ　溢れ出す思いで　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
「まだまだ青いなぁ」って　白髪のあなたに言われたって　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
あなたが灰にしか　見えないって笑ってやるよ
The cement-coloured world that I can see from inside the train is also
Shining upon us with its overflowing memories
“You’re still too green,” you said, with your white hair
I couldn’t see you as anything but ashes so I laughed at you back
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
けど苦しくて　涙して　叫びたくなる時もあるよ　強い人間になりたくて　　　　　　
だけど悔しくて　歯くいしばって　みんなで噛みしめあえば　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
アイツ等なんかに見えはしない　強い意志でつながるから
But it’s hard, there are times when I want to cry and scream; to be a strong person
But it’s regrettable, I clench my teeth, and if everyone does so,
We can just not look at those other guys, because we’ve been connected together by a strong will
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
Save me, if you were there
I guess I don't have to sing this kind of song
But save me, let's sing together
And we'll be as one for now and forever

終わりは始まりなワケであって　ヘコむ暇などないワケわけであって
でもそれが人生のイイとこなんだって
誰かから聞いた気がする
As the end is the beginning, there is no time to be yield to the pressure
But that’s the great thing about life
I think I’ve heard this from someone before
　　　　　　　　　　　　
いつも自分を持って生き　きっとそれがカッコイイ　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
みんなはそういう人だから僕は好きなんだ
If I can live with the usual me, that would be very cool for sure
Because everyone’s like that and I like it　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　

いつか別れがくるなんて　考えても　何も　プラスに働きはしない　　　　　　　　　　　　
だから共に生きよう　今を　青き春を
Even if I think that there’ll be a day when we split There won’t be any plus points
So let’s live together Now, in this youthful spring
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
この今とゆう時に　　この今とゆう場所で　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
この今とゆう素晴らしい季節に　みんなと出会えた　喜びは
This time that is called “now”, this place that is called “now”
This wonderful season that is called “now”, the happiness that came out of meeting everyone
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
何にも代えられることは　できないよ僕の力では　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
他の誰でもなく絶対に　あなた達と　生きていきたい
I can’t change anything with my power
I want to live on with you, and definitely not others

何にも代えられることは　できないよ僕の力では　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
他の誰でもなく絶対に　あなた達と　生きていきたい
I can’t change anything with my power
I want to live on with you, and definitely not others

揶揄　（Banter)

実は月日なんて無味無臭　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
意味はスパイスを付け加える毎日です
Actually the days are really tasteless and bland
The meaning of it is the days that have spices peppered on them

あなた今　歳はいくつ？　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
俺がいつ死ぬか知りたがる皆さんです
How old are you now?
That’s everyone who wants to know when I will die
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
「ご飯でも食べにいきましょう」
そういって早速ホテルに導くんです
“Let’s go eat a meal together,”
With that, we go hurriedly to a hotel
　
「でもゴムはつけなきゃだめよ」　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
自分の価値を無にするあなたです
“It’s not okay if you don’t put on a rubber,”
That’s you who ignored your own value
　　　
無実の罪を喜んで犯すの　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
今日も狩りに出るの　今晩のおかずを
Are you happily committing an innocent crime?
Are you going out today to hunt for tonight’s meal?
　　
この世界のことだったら大体わかったから連れてってよ　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
来世ってとこに僕を早く引っ張っていってよ
I’ve kinda gotten the hang of this world already, so take me along
Hurry up and pull me over to the next life　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
そんなけったいなこと言えるお前には　ヒトに生まれるにゃちょいと早すぎたよ
そりゃ子．丑．寅．未．申にもなるにゃあ　100万年はかかると思いますよ
To you who could say such bizarre things, it’s too early you to be born as a human
If you want to become the Rat・Ox・Tiger・Goat・Monkey, I think it’ll take a million years

I wanna be a hippie and have a lot of cookies
Across the sea to Hollywood and meet my dearest Whoopie Goldberg, Spielberg and bla-bla-bla
What am I saying? I’m insane, help me Quwa quwa quwa
Du-pa-du-pa-du-pa-du-pa-pa-pa Lupin, Chopin says “welcome my crisis now”

誘っといてそりゃないんじゃない？（そう？）　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
こんな歌ってちょっとひどいんじゃない？（いや、別に）　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
これで金とんのはないんじゃない？　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
ってなんでだい？ってなんてったってたったってー
I guess you didn’t invite? (Really?)
This kind of song is quite horrible right? (No, not really)
This doesn’t require a fee right?
How on earth? Because, because, because, because…
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
みんな面白くないんだもん
Everyone’s so dull…
　　
この世界のとこだったら大体わかったから連れてってよ　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
ノアの箱船でほりゃどんぶらこって引っ張っていってよ
I’ve kinda gotten the hang of this world already, so take me along
Take me away with a tumbling Noah’s Ark
　　
そんなけったいなこと言えるお前には　人に生まれるにゃだいぶと早すぎたよ　　　　　　　　　　
ほりゃ子．丑．寅．未．申にもなる気ある？　○%＃＊^ △！！／×……？？
To you who could say such bizarre things, it’s too early you to be born as a human
Do you still wanna become the Rat・Ox・Tiger・Goat・Monkey? ○%＃＊^ △！！／×……??
　　　　　　　
198603345年×お前（アホ）＝　そう、eternally　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
日本語に訳すと要するに人間になるのは　無理
198603345 x You(Idiot) = Yup, eternally
Translated into Japanese, it just means that for you to become a human, it’s impossible

縫い合わせた傷口が開いたら　思い切って水につけてみてよ　　　　　　　　　　　　　
あとそこにちょいと塩胡椒を振ってさ　笑ってみてよ　（ハハ）
If you’ve opened up a wound that was sewn together, try to put some water on it daringly
Then shake some salt and pepper on it and try laughing (Haha)
　
そう　尋常な感情は相乗して＝無情　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
想像して妄想して　ブラックホールと　ボンジュール　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
暴走して逃走して　隣人と抱擁して
That’s right, multiplying common emotions together = heartlessness
Imagine it, fantasise; the Black Hole and Bonjour
Go on a rampage, escape; and hug the person next to you
　
この世界のことだったら大体わかったから連れてってよ　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
来世ってとこに僕を早く　ひっぱっていってよ　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
ララルラララルララララルラララルラララ　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
子．丑．寅．未．申．カバ．ドジ．僕誰だね？　　　　
I’ve kinda gotten the hang of this world already, so take me along
Hurry up and pull me over to the next life　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
Lalalulalalalulalalalalulalalalulalala
Rat・Ox・Tiger・Goat・Monkey, who am I?

2013-01-23T15:35:45Z

A not-so-recent-anymore interview (in English) with Yojiyo Noda I thought you guys might find interesting.

And if anyone has any links to translated interviews with anyone from the band I'd be very grateful. ~

ささくれ and　ラバボー English Translation

2013-01-15T20:15:17Z

Something a little simpler and older but very heartwarming :>

ささくれ(Hangnail)

喧嘩した翌朝君は笑ってた
俺が悪いの知ってるのに笑ってた
The next morning after we fought, you smiled
You knew I was in the wrong, but you smiled

「もうお前なんか嫌いだ」君は泣いてた
冗談だって誰でもわかるのに君は泣いてた
“I hate you already”, and you cried
Anyone would know I was joking, but you cried

That love I received from you on that day              I can’t forget them

電話を切るのはいつも君が先だった
「おやすみ」の続きを俺は待ってた
You were the one who always hung up the phone first
I always waited for what came after “Good night”

「もうお前なんか嫌いだ」君は泣いてた
冗談だって言ってもずっと君は泣いてた
“I hate you already”, and you cried
I said I was joking, but you cried all the way

こんな俺と一緒にいてくれた
こんな俺のために笑ってた
こんな俺を好きでいてくれた

笑ってよ
Come on, smile

ありがとう
Thank you

ラバボー　(Lovable)

お母ちゃん
僕はあなたの望むような人になれましたか
僕を心から嫌いになったことはありましたか
Mum,
Have I become the person you wanted me to become?
Have you ever hated me from your heart?

僕のせいで自分を嫌いになりそうになったら
迷わず僕を忘れていいよ
If you ever hate yourself because of me,
Don’t hesitate to forget me

お母ちゃん
僕はあなたの思うような人になりたかったの
お兄ちゃんじゃなくて僕だけを見てて欲しかったの

Mum,
Have I become the person you were thinking about?
I wanted you to look at me and me only, and not just Brother

僕のせいで自分を嫌いになりそうになっても
お願い僕を忘れないで
If you ever hate yourself because of me,
Please, don’t forget me

お母ちゃん泣くのをまた見て浮かんだメロディー走らせ
なんだか僕まで泣きたい気持ちになっちゃったよ
I see my mum crying again, the suspended melody made a run
Somehow… even I felt like crying

I'm Mr.Lonely Lonely "Loveable"
Mommy, please say that I'm your treasure
I'm Mr.Lonely Lonely "Loveable"
Lady, now, say that you were proud of me

ねぇ声で抱いて顔で笑って
僕の前ではケンカしないで
ここにいないと心配していてだから
愛を離さないで
Hey, hug with your voice, smile with your face
Please don’t fight in front of me
Because if you’re not here, I’ll be worried
Don’t leave “Love”

お母ちゃん泣くのをまた見て浮かんだメロディー走らせ
なんだか僕まで泣きたい気持ちになっちゃったよ
I see my mum crying again, the suspended melody made a run
Somehow… even I felt like crying

I'm Mr.Lonely Lonely "Loveable"
Mommy, please say that I'm your treasure
I'm Mr.Lonely Lonely "Loveable"
Lady, now, say that you were proud of me

お母ちゃん泣くのをまた見て浮かんだメロディー走らせ
なんだか僕まで泣きたい気持ちになっちゃったよ
どうかお母ちゃん笑っておくれよ作り笑いでもかまわないから
I'm always feeling something warm inside you
I see my mum crying again, the suspended melody made a run
Somehow… even I felt like crying
Hey mum, come on, smile for me, I don’t even mind a forced smile
I'm always feeling something warm inside you
_______________________________________________________
This is purely speculation on my part, but I think Noda was not in a happy family. From the Japanese wiki page, Noda's father is estranged and is a France citizen living in Paris. Misc. info: His mum is a piano teacher, and he has an older brother (as seen in the song).

救世主 and ブレス English Translation

2013-01-10T22:07:55Z

Last songs. With this, I am completely done with the translation for the Zettai Enmei DVD. For those which I haven't translated, they are already translated by other people or by me previously (i.e. older songs) On to subbing.

ブレス (Buresu)

君が願ってるよりも
君はもう僕の全部で
どうぞお望みとならば
お好きに切り刻んでよ
今ならば流れる血も全部
Even more than what you wished for
You are already my everything
If this is your wish, cut it up as you wish
The flowing blood and everything else up till now

その眼から零れる涙は
落ちるには勿体ないから
意味がなくならないように
そのコップに溜めといてよ
それも全部飲み干してみたいよ
The tears that pour from those eyes
To let them fall would be an utter waste
So that their meaning wouldn’t be lost,
Please store them in that cup
I want to try drinking all of that up

閉じ込めたその涙にわ
人を人足らしめる全てがつまっていて
Those tears that have been closed in
Ties together everything that make humans human

触れたら壊れてしまいそうで
触れなきゃ崩れてしまいそうな
君をここでただ見守るよ
You who would seemingly break upon being touched
You who would seemingly break even if you aren’t touched
I just want to watch over you here

偉大な歴史の一部を残すように
僕は歌う
In order to leave behind a part of our great history
I will sing

その口から落ちる言葉は
どこまでも真ん中目指して
The words that fall from those lips
Are pointing to my very core no matter where they are

深く突き刺さらぬように
身をよじって躱す僕です
So that I wouldn’t be pierced deeply
I twisted my body and dodged them

この絶望も希望も今も
平穏も機微も快楽も
てっぺんも奈落も狂乱も
全ては君の指揮次第で
This despair, this hope, and the present
Tranquility, subtleties, and happiness
The peak in the skies or the abyss of hell, and madness
Everything is under your command

今日もその掌で
好きに踊ろうと思うよ
どうせならばとびきりのスウィンぐを
Today I think I want to dance again
On those palms
And I might as well have a go on that superior swing

飛ばされて降り立った国に
今なら過不足なく愛を説けるでしょう
This country that has fallen after being fired at has stood up again
It has already suitably explained my love, right?

触れたら壊れてしまいそうで
触れなきゃ崩れてしまいそうな
君をここでただ見守るよ
万物に渡る定理を残すように
僕は歌う
You who would seemingly break upon being touched
You who would seemingly break even if you aren’t touched
I just want to watch over you here
In order to leave behind the theory of crossing over all creation
I will sing

おさがりのキスでも
使い古しの「愛してる」も
大事にするよと笑った顔の
頬に走った二つの線を
僕を呼んでる気がした
Even a hand-me-down kiss
Or a worn out “I love you”
On your face which smiled and said “Take care of them”
Your cheeks which had two lines running across them
It felt like they were calling out to me

触れてしまったんだ
壊れてしまわぬように
ずっとギュッと抱きしめた
So I touched you
And so that you wouldn’t break
I’ve always hugged you tightly

触れたら壊れてしまいそうで
触れなきゃ崩れてしまいそうな
だけどそれでも僕は手を伸ばすよ
壊れても拾い集めるよいいだろ
You who would seemingly break upon being touched
You who would seemingly break even if you aren’t touched
But even though, I’ll stretch my hands out
Because even if you break, I’ll pick up your fragments, isn’t that alright?

触れなきゃ今すぐこの手で
触れなきゃ崩れてしまう前に
君の丸ごと全部に
僕は触れたいよ
If I can’t touch it, I’ll use my hands right now
Just before you break even if you aren’t touched
I want to feel
You in your entirety

壊さぬように
崩れぬように
育つように
始まるように
僕は歌う
So that you wouldn’t break
So that you wouldn’t crumble
In order to educate
In order to start
I will sing

救世主 (Kyuuseishuu)

君がいなくなったら
きっと世界も終わる
だって世界は君の中でしか廻れないから
If you weren’t here
I’m sure the world would end
Because the world only revolves inside of you

君が楽しいんなら
きっと世界も笑う
だって世界は君の中にしか映れないから
If you are having fun
I’m sure the world would smile
Because the world is only projected inside of you

君がいなくなったら
きっと僕も消える
だって僕は君の中にしか生きれないから
If you weren’t here
I’m sure I would disappear
Because I could only live inside of you

君と出会ったあの朝に
僕は世界に呼ばれ
そっと君を守るようにと送られたんだよ
On the morning that I met you
I called out to the world
And I told it to protect you

僕を救ってくれないか
Won’t you come save me?

君がいないとここにいないと何もないんだよ
そう君は今日もこの世界を救ったんだよ
If you aren’t here, there won’t be anything here
Yes, you have saved this world again today

僕を消さないで離さないで繋いどいてよ
そう君は生きた今日も生きた
どうもありがとう
Don’t erase me, don’t leave me, but connect with me
Yes, you have lived, you’ve lived today as well
Thank you very much

君が生まれた朝に
きっと世界も生まれ
ずっと一緒に同じ歳を重ねてるんだよ
On the morning you were born
I’m sure the world was born too
And you’ve always piled on the same years to your ages together

君が寝返り打つたび
きっと世界は目覚め
ほっと胸を撫で下ろしまた眠りにつくんだよ
Every time you toss about in your sleep
I’m sure the world wakes up
With a sigh and a caress to the chest, its load is dropped, the world sleeps again

君が気付かないように押し潰されないように
歴史を作って星を散らして見守ってるんだよ
So that you wouldn’t notice, so that it wouldn’t be squashed flat
Let’s make history, let’s scatter the stars and watch over you

僕を生かしてくれないか
Won’t you let me live on?

君がいないとここにいないと何もないんだよ
この世界と君と僕にまつわるものすべて
If you aren’t here, there won’t be anything here
This world and you are everything that is associated with me

意味を消さないで離さないで繋いどいてよ
君の吐く息を今日も世界は吸ってる
Don’t erase their meaning, don’t leave me, but connect with me
Today the world is breathing in the breath you exhaled as well

君の瞬きのたび世界は止まる
耳をふさぎ込むたび世界は黙る
君の瞬きのような命だけど
この世界は君のその手の中
Every time you blink, the world stops
Every time you’re in low spirits, the world is silent
And for those lives that are like a blink of your eye
In this world, in your hands

僕がいなくなってもきっと世界は続く
だって僕は君の中でしか生きれないから
だって世界は君の中でしか生きれないから
If I’m not here, I’m sure the world continues
Because I could only live inside of you
Because the world could only live inside of you

ほらほらほらほら
ほらほらほらほら
Look around, look around, look around, look around
Look around, look around, look around, look around

キズもの, やどかり and 君と羊と青 English Translation

2013-01-10T21:01:00Z

キズもの(Kizumono) is done here on tumblr, but not by me.

http://scribblesleuth.tumblr.com/post/32187913253/radwimps-kizumono-wounded-things-lyrics

やどかり(Yadokari)

オナラが恥ずかしくなったのはいつからだろう
涙隠すようになったのはいつからだろう
嘘をつけるようになったのはいつからだろう
裸が恥ずかしくなったのはいつからだろう
When did we start to think that farting was embarrassing
When did we start to hide our own tears
When did we start to lie
And when did we start to think that being naked was embarrassing?

そうやって守りぬいたこの僕も
結局最後は消えてしまうのに
Even someone like me who will keep on protecting it
Will also disappear in the end

お金が欲しくなったのはいつからだろう
他人が羨ましくなったのはいつからだろう
誰かを嫌いになったのはいつからだろう
見えないものまで欲しくなったのはいつからだろう
When did we start to desire money
When did we start to envy others
When did we start to hate others
And when did we start to pursue the intangible

そうやって手に入れたものもすべて
結局持ってなど逝けないのに
All these things that we have collected
Can’t be brought to our coffins in the end

だから　せめて今は持って行こう
両手にできるだけ持っておこう
その数がきっと僕のこと
教えてくれる気がするから
So, at least let me have all this now
Anything that I can grab with my two hands, let me have it
I have a feeling that they will definitely teach me thing

夜眠れなくなったのはいつからだろう
あの星の居場所を知ったのはいつだったろう
子供から大人になったのはいつなんだろう
いつか僕も消えると知ったのはいつだったろう
When did we start to be unable to sleep at night
When did we start to know the location of that star
When did we start to grow from children to adults
And when did I start to know that I was going to die someday?

語る想い出ができたのはいつからだろう
失くせないものができたのはいつからだろう
二度と「今」は来ないと知ったのはいつからだろう
知らないことがあると知ったのはいつだったろう
When did we start to reminisce
When did we start to do things that can’t be lost
When did we start to realise that “the present” isn’t going to happen twice
And when did we start to know that there were things we didn’t know?

そうやって手に入れた　いくつもの何かを
遺して僕は消えゆくけど
Just like that, the things that I’ve obtained
Will be left behind as I leave this earth

だから　せめて今は持って行こう
抱えきれないほど持っておこう
そのすべてが今のこの僕を
形作っているものだから
So, at least let me have all this now
Until I can’t embrace them
Because of all these things
I have been constructed

そのすべてが　今ここに僕が
存在したことの証だから
Because of all these things
They are the evidence that I exist right here, right now

君と羊と青 (Kimi to Hitsuji to Ao)

今がその時だともう気付いてたんだ
光り方は教わらずとも知っていた
眼の前の現在がもうすでに
思い出色していた
I realized that now is the time
I know the way to shine even if you don’t teach me
The present times in front of my eyes
Are already colours of memories

奇跡は起こるもんじゃなくて起こすものだと
手当たり次第ボタンがあれば連打した
『今』がすり切れるくらいに生きてたんだ精一目一杯を
Miracles don’t happen but they are created
Keep on pressing the button that you got hold of randomly
The “present” has lived up till now despite being worn out, with all its might

喜怒哀楽の全方位を
縦横無尽に駆け抜けた日々を
Happiness, anger, sadness and humour in every direction
And the days that we have run past freely

君を見つけ出した時の感情が
今も骨の髄まで動かしてんだ
眩しすぎて閉じた瞳の残像が
今もそこで明日に手を振ってんだ
That feeling when I found you
Still shakes me to my bones even now
That imprint that makes me close my eyes ‘cause it’s so bright
Is still waving to tomorrow even now

世界が僕らを置き去りにするから
負けじと彼らをなおざりにしてやった
するとどうだ寂しがったこの世界が向こうから割り込んできた
Because the world has deserted us,
We ignored them, refusing to lose
And then this world which started to become lonely
Entered ours from the other side

今日の僕を賞味できる期限は今日
眠らせて腐らせるくらいならばと
青いままでヘタもとらず落ちた僕を
君が受け取ったんだ
The expiration date for the me of today is today
Instead of letting me die and rot away
You accepted the me who was still blue
But had fallen off without taking my stem along

苦いけど苦しくはないよと君は
酸っぱいけども悪くはないよとそう言った
“It’s bitter, but it’s not painful”
You said, “It’s sour but it isn’t bad.”

起承転結の『転』だけを
欲張って頬張った僕らの日々よ
『結』することなどのない日々を
The introduction, development, turn and conclusion of “The Turning”
Let’s greedily make that our daily lives
Our days which have no “End”

君を見つけ出した時の感情が
この五臓の六腑を動かしてんだ
眩しすぎて閉じた瞳の残像が向かうべき道のりを指差してんだ
That feeling when I found you
Still shakes me to my very organs
That imprint that makes me close my eyes ‘cause it’s so bright
Has pointed out the road that we should face

リアルと夢と永遠と今と幻想が
束になって僕を胴上げしてんだ
あの日僕らを染め上げた群青が
今もこの皮膚の下を覆ってんだ
Reality, dreams, eternality, the present and fantasy
Have become a bundle and tossed me into the air
The ultramarine colour which dyed us that day
Is still hidden beneath this skin

Help

Hello!

I've gotten most of the translation and some subbing done for the Zettai Enmei DVD, but the only thing that's holding me back is that I don't know how to upload a torrent LOL. I don't get the trackers/seeding/whatever. It is very confusing to an utter noob like me. I am using bittorrent, should I change to utorrent? I need help and easy to follow instructions please. Thanks!

目一杯の「ウソ」をクローゼットから引っ張り出して身に纏って
今日も家を出る
I always strip off all the “truth” that I have on my bed
And with all my might I take “lies” out from my closet and wear them
Today I’m going out too

いつでも僕はどっかで他人とオナジでいたいと願ってテ
けどどっかで誰ともチガウ何かでありたいと強く願ってテ
今日も間を取るけど
I always pray that I am similar to others in some way
Yet I pray hard that I am different from others in some way
Today I’ll have it in the middle too

平均値化して経験値化してデキタノガ此ノボクデス
Making it into the average, learning from others’ experience, here I am who has done it all

上がったり下がったりそんなくり返しもうかったりぃ
ってなったり分かったり分からないふりをしてみたり
行き当たりでばったりのはずが予定通りだったり
もうガッカリ物語りでもやっぱり良かったりしてる
Going up, going down, I’m already frustrated with doing it again and again
Even if I know it, I try to pretend I don’t
It came to a halt at the end of the road but it was as predicted
It was a saddening story but as expected, it was great

いつでも君は自分のことだけを僕には見ていてほしくて
けどやっぱりしつこいと気持ちが滅入って煩わしくもなってきて
今日も距離計る
You’ve always wanted me to look at you and only you
But of course these obstinate feelings made me depressed and annoyed
Today we’ve got to calculate the distance between us again

どんだけ頑張ってみたところで好きにはなれない人がいて
けどその人もきっとどっかの誰かにとってかけがいのない人で
今日も丸くなるけど
There are some people who cannot be liked no matter how hard I try
But these people definitely are irreplaceable to some people out there
Today I’ll become round too

本当の形は目に見えるものとチガッタリシテルンダロウ
Its real shape and what can be seen by my eyes are probably different, I think

尖ったりひっ込んだり削り削られ丸くなったり
細ったり太ったり僕はきっと今食べ盛り
もう踏んだりの蹴ったりされて形が出来上がったり
落っこったり這い上がったりもう何だいもういいコリゴリ
It became sharp, it sank in, it got shaved off till it became round
It’s too thin, it’s too fat, today I’m gonna have a fest again
I stepped on it, kicked it, and the shape was created
I fell, I crawled up, what on earth is it? Enough, I’ve had enough of it

あんたには分かんないって言われちまえばそりゃ確かに
おっしゃる通りでも元来それ言っちゃお終いになんない?
You said you didn’t know, that’s for sure
That’s precisely so, but originally, isn’t it already over when you said that?

つまったりつまんないでいささか疲れ果てちまったり
でまったりのぐったりしていたら逆に肩凝ったり
This is interesting, this is boring – it will become quite tiring in the end
But if it becomes too tiresome your shoulders will be sore instead

何なんだい万々歳白旗の揚げ方も分かんない
もうファイナリーエターナリーにがっかりとやったりを
いったりできたりしてく
What on earth is this? Long, long live it, people who raise the white flag won’t know
I’m already disappointed with “eternally” and “finally”
Let me say and do it this way

G行為 (G-Koui)

まだまだできるんだ俺にゃまだまだ力あるんだ
こんなもんじゃないんだ
元来の俺の力を発揮したならば
I can still do it, I’ve still got a lot of strength
This isn’t the point
If I could display by original strength

その気になったらばドカンとデカイこと
すぐさまでもできんのただ今じゃない「いつ?」
まだ「すぐ?」いつかのため蓄えんの
どこのどいつもなぜ見くびんの?
If I am into it, I could do great and huge things
In a matter of minutes, just not now, “Then when?”
Not yet, “Soon?” – No, I’m saving it up for someday
Every one of you, why do you belittle me?

勝手に低く俺を見積もんの
何も分かっちゃいない成っちゃいない
もうやってらんないっちゃありゃしないっちゃ
もうねっちゃくっちゃ口ん中
You all underestimate me as you please
Can’t understand anything, can’t become anything
I don’t want to do it anymore, there’s no meaning
It’s all sticky and slimey in my mouth now

なんだか粘着質になってきちゃっちゃ
そんなこんなで改めて慰めて
好きなだけ俺褒めて
I think it’s already gluey
I’ll do this and that again and again, comforting myself
Come on, praise me

G行為 G行為 G行為 G
G行為 G行為 G行為 G
ちっこい↑ちっこいちっこい自慰

Self-pleasure, self-pleasure, self-pleasure, G
Self-pleasure, self-pleasure, self-pleasure, G
Tiny, tiny, tiny self-pleasure
Self-pleasure, self-pleasure, self-pleasure, G

分かってる俺は分かってるよ
やればできる子なの知ってるよ
本気を出した君には恐るべき力が隠されているよ
まだ本気を出していないだけみんなは本気だしてもあんだけ 
I know, I really do
I know you’re the kind of person who’ll do it if you want to
If you’re serious, a fearsome power is hidden inside of you
You’re just not serious yet
Even if everyone’s serious, they’re not like that

あぁ楽しみだ楽しみだな 
とんだ大物に化けるかなぁあぁ 
Ah, I’m looking forward to it, I’m looking forward to it
What kind of a big shot will you become!
成功者がよく語るじゃない 
下積み自慢げに話すじゃない 
君にとって今がその時なんじゃない? 
Don’t the successful people say this often?
Don’t they arrogantly speak of their humble origins?
To you, isn’t right now the time for it?

そうじゃない? きっと そうなんじゃない?
パナイじゃない? 
そうだったらヤバイじゃない 
今が美談になんじゃない 
今が辛いほどいいんじゃない? 
おいしいんじゃない? 「じゃない」が多くない? 
Isn’t it so? Certainly it is so?
You’re great huh?
If that’s so, isn’t it dangerous?
Aren’t all these words becoming an impressive tale?
Isn’t it that the spicier it is, the better it is
Isn’t it delicious? Aren’t there too many “Isn’t it”s?

I understand that you’re complaining 
And understood with your clean opinion
And all you need is a satisfaction 
so please feel free let’s masturbation
 
何よほんと近頃の男ちゃんと一物がついてんの 
飾りでついてるだけじゃないの 
中身すっからかんなんだわきっと 
見るからに自らに明らかに自身満々なあんな女に 
What the hell? Guys of recent times aren’t wearing their weenies properly
Is it just for decoration?
It is all empty inside, I’m sure
Just with a look, disclose it yourself, to those overconfident women

入れあげるなんて気が知れない 
あーヤダヤダもう殺してやりたい 
今日のあいつもそうよ何よ 
せっかくの下着台無しよ 
Who still don’t know what a hug feels like
Oh no, damn, no, I want to kill you
Today, that guy is like that, what the hell
It wasn’t easy to spoil the undergarments

ホントの私を知らないからよ 
ホントの私を知っちゃったらもう 
食いついてくるわ抱きついてくるわ 
イヤと言ったとこで泣きついてくるわ 
泣きついてきたら許したげるわ 
私はいい女だからドカン
You don’t know the real me
Even if you knew the real me, then
Eat me, hug me
And if you say “No!”, then go cry and beg
If you cry and beg, I’ll forgive you
Because I’m a good woman

全く以て同感ですあなたのおっしゃる通りでげす 
test test test test マイクのtestです 
俺はゲスですクズですイエスレッツ! 
君が生まれた時代が違えば 
こんなはずじゃなかったんだ 
I completely agree with you, it is exactly as you said
Test, test, test, test, it’s a mic test
I’m a low life, a piece of trash, yes let’s!
If you were born in a different generation
This definitely wouldn’t happen

時代が時代だったら 
まったく真逆の舞台立っていたんだ 
間違いない不甲斐ない男に惑わされるこたない 
奈良時代その界隈じゃ 
If the generation was different,
We would be standing on a totally opposite stage
There’s no mistake, you wouldn’t be tempted by such weak-minded men
If you were in the Nara period, in that neighbourhood

モテて仕方なかったんじゃない? 
それ褒めてんの? ねぇナメてんの? 
バカにしてんの? ナメてほしいの! 
だめだめそんなナメナメ言ったら 
もうオブラートが溶けていっちゃうよー
You can’t help but be popular right?
Are you praising me? Or are you mocking me?
Making a fool out of me?! Then mock me!
And if you mock me by saying “No, no I can’t!”
The starch paper on that candy is already melting!

んなわけあるかボケそこドケ 
おののけ人の皮をかぶったこの物の怪 
例え何度生まれ変わったとて 
お主にゃチャンスなんざないんじゃ 
その手と手取り合って手っ取り早くテンポよく 
諦めんのがええどすえ 
エトセトラと性行為とオサラバこっちこい G行為
No it can’t be, you idiot, get lost
You monster wearing other peoples’ skins
No matter how many times you are reborn
You won’t have a chance to play the protagonist’s role
Get the skill right and finish it quick, get a good tempo
You could give up
Say farewell to sexual acts and etc., come over here and pleasure yourself

G行為 G行為 G行為 G 
G行為 G行為 G行為 G 
こっちこいこっちこいこっちこいこっち 
ちっこいちっこいちっこい血 
Self-pleasure, self-pleasure, self-pleasure, G
Self-pleasure, self-pleasure, self-pleasure, G
Come over here, come over here, come over here
Just a small, small, small amount of blood

私かねがね思ってたことが 
一つあんだがちょっといいかな 
今日もどこかでその手で 
その身を慰めてらっしゃる子羊よ
As for me, the things I’m thinking
There’s one thing that’s pretty good
Today, somewhere, with these hands and body
I’ll comfort my little lamb

どうせだったら結ばれちゃえばどう? 
羊同士合体したらばどう? 
さすればこう世界はもうちょっと 
優しい色になることでしょう
Well, how about uniting?
How about making a communion of lambs?
If that happens, the world
Will probably turn into a gentler colour

Note: G行為 is literally G-Deed, but pronouced, it is G-Koui, which is the same pronunciation as 自慰行為　(Jiikoui), which means self-pleasure, or masturbation if you may, and that is clearly the idea Noda is trying to convey...

学芸会 and だいだらぼっち English Translation

2013-01-04T08:46:06Z

だいだらぼっち Daidarabocchi

ひとりぼっちは寂しいけれど
みんなひとりぼっちなら　
寂しくなんかない
ひとりぼっちなんかじゃないから
Being alone is lonely
But if everyone is alone,
We won’t feel lonely
Because we won’t really be alone anymore

君は優しい人
誰かに与えられた
その肩書きを守るため
必死に僕を飼いならす
“You are a kind person”
Someone told me that
In order to uphold that title,
I desperately domesticated myself

だけどもう疲れたよ
僕は降りることにしよう
とここで言えるような
人間に僕はなれない
But I’m already tired
I am going to fall
I cannot become that person
Written in that one line

生きてる間のほんの
ちょっとの時間くらい
ひとりで大丈夫だよ
大丈夫だよ
The little time
We have in a life
Being alone is fine
It’s fine

ひとりぼっちは寂しいけれど
みんな寂しいなら
ひとりぼっちなんかじゃない
寂しくなんかないから
Being alone is lonely
But if everyone is lonely,
We won’t be alone
Because we won’t feel lonely anymore

僕はもうだめなんだ
神様の失敗作
どこで何を間違えたんだろう
答え合わせでもしよう
I am already done for
I am God’s failed work
Perhaps there was a problem somewhere
Someone please tell me the answer

でも待ってよもしかしたら
この世界ははじめから
失敗作やでくの坊の放り込まれたゴミ箱
But wait a bit, perhaps,
From the start, this world was already
A rubbish bin for throwing in useless failed works and good for nothings

生きてる間のほんの
ちょっとの時間くらい
誰かといればいいんじゃない
いいんじゃない
The little time
We have in a life
Isn’t it good if we can be with someone?
Isn’t it good?

ひとりぼっちは寂しいけれど
みんなひとりぼっちなら
寂しくなんかない
ひとりぼっちなんかじゃない
Being alone is lonely
But if everyone is alone,
We won’t feel lonely
Because we won’t really be alone anymore

ひとりぼっちは寂しいけれど
みんな寂しいなら
ひとりぼっちなんかじゃない
寂しくなんかないから
Being alone is lonely
But if everyone is lonely,
We won’t be alone
Because we won’t feel lonely anymore

ところで君はじゃあどんな人
って尋ねられて気づいたよ
一人だけじゃ誰かがいなきゃ
僕が誰かもわからない
僕は生きてさえいないじゃないか
When I was asked “By the way, what kind of person are you?”
I suddenly realised
That if I’m alone, and there is no one else,
I wouldn’t even know who I am
It wouldn’t matter if I live or not

ひとりぼっちは寂しいけれど
君とふたりぼっちなら
寂しくなんかない
ひとりぼっちなんかじゃない
Being alone is lonely
But if I’m alone with you,
I wouldn’t feel lonely
Because I won’t be alone anymore

ひとりぼっちとひとりっぼっちが
集まってできたこの世界
寂しいことなんかない
ひとりぼっちなんかいない
ひとりぼっちなんかなれないから
Just like that, a person alone and a person alone
Gathered together to make this world
There won’t be any loneliness
Nor anyone alone
Because no one can become alone

学芸会 Gakugeikai

寄ってらっしゃい来てらっしゃい
待ちに待った今日は学芸会
みんな切磋琢磨して力合わせて
作り上げてきた一大舞台
ちょっと待ってそうだっけ?
なぜにここに俺はいるんだっけ
さぁさぁ列になって胸を張って幕が降ろされた
Drop in here, come visit
Today’s the long awaited school arts festival
Everyone’s been working hard together as one
To make one big stage
Hold on, is it so?
Why must I be here?
Okay, okay, line up, straighten out your chests, the curtain is going to fall

与えられた役名は変哲もないただの『少年D』
望んでなどいないのに群れの中に舞台上に
上げられたはいいけど脇役を任された少年D
先生僕は僕の世界では
誰がなんと言おうと主人公です
The role I was assigned to was just a nondescript “Boy D”
This wasn’t what I wished for
I guess it’s good to be picked to go on stage from a crowd
But I was just given the role “Boy D”
Teacher, in my world, no matter what others say, I am the protagonist

この世界では僕は少年D 名前も持たない少年D
台詞はひとつ「おやすみなさい」
そう僕がいなくても始まる舞台の
端っこに立った少年D 誰も彼なんか見ちゃいない
でも僕にとってはVIP
そう僕がいないと始まんないんだよ
僕の世界は
In this world I am “Boy D”, a “Boy D” who doesn’t even have a name
Who only needs to say one line, “Good night”
On a stage that can go on without me
“Boy D” standing in a corner
No one sees him
But to me, he’s a VIP
Yes, without me, the play cannot start
In my world

待ってましたお出ましだ
ついに来た出番だ道あけな
皆々様俺様のお通りだ
ガンガンとライト照らしておくれよ
何言ってんの? 言っちゃってんの
まだサンタはソリに乗ってんの?
それは君の世界の話でしょ? 現実の中の話はこう
I’ve waited for a while, I’m gonna go out
Finally it has come, it’s my turn, open up a path
Everyone, this is my street
The glitz and lights, go shine brighter
What? What did you say?
Santa is still riding his carriage?
That’s only in your world, but this is reality

いてもいなくても一緒なの
どうこう言える立場にいないの
主役の子に当てられた光から
わずかに漏れた微かな明かりが
僕の照明ここにいる証明
人様のおこぼれで生きれて光栄
って思いなさい演じなさい
胸張って脇を固めなさい
Present or not, it doesn’t matter
You’ve got no right to order me around
The light that shines on the protagonist
Only leaks a weak brightness
My illumination, that’s the proof that I’m here
Living on other people’s leftovers is my pride
Think this, act this out
Push your chest out and play your role well

「こうなれば」と呟いてついには狂いだした少年D
予想だにしない事態に舞台上はもはや独壇場
逃げ惑う群れの中あえなく捕らえられた少年D
先生これで晴れてこの僕が
誰が何と言おうと主人公です
“If it’s like this” he murmured, and “Boy D” finally went wild
Something unexpected happened and on the stage, was a solo act
“Boy D” who was sadly captured while trying to escape from the crowds
Teacher, this is public now
No matter what anyone says, I am the protagonist

この世界では僕は少年D 名前も知らない少年D
台詞はひとつ「おやすみなさい」
そう僕がいなくても始まる舞台の
端っこに立った少年D 誰も僕なんか見ちゃいない
でも彼にとってはVIP
そう僕がいたってもしもいなくたって
違いなどないって? んなわけないって
僕がいないとこうなんないんだって
In this world I am “Boy D”, a “Boy D” who doesn’t even have a name
Who only needs to say one line, “Good night”
On a stage that can go on without me
“Boy D” standing in a corner
No one sees him
But to him, he’s a VIP
Yes, with or without me
There’s no difference? That’s impossible
Without me things won’t be like this

学芸会は大失敗で大失態の反省会
もう何なんだい?どうしたんだい?
一体全体何がしたいんだい?
とんだ厄介だ何百回と何万回と謝らんかい
もう一回の最終回で大挽回を皆に誓いなさい
The school arts festival is a huge failure, let’s hold a reflection meeting for our faults
What now? What are we going to do?
What on earth do you want to do?
You’re such a nuisance, how many thousands of times do you want to apologize?
Please swear to everyone that you’ll save the play at the end the next time round

この世界では僕は少年D 名前も持たない少年D
台詞はひとつ「おやすみなさい」
そう僕がいなくても始まる舞台の
端っこに立った少年D 誰一人彼など見ちゃいない
でも僕にとってはVIP
そう僕がいないと始まんないんだよ
僕がいなくても始まる世界
でも僕がいないと始まんないんだよ僕の世界は
In this world I am “Boy D”, a “Boy D” who doesn’t even have a name
Who only needs to say one line, “Good night”
On a stage that can go on without me
“Boy D” standing in a corner
No one sees him
But to me, he’s a VIP
Yes, without me, the play cannot start
This world that can start without me
But this world cannot start without me, in my world

季節巡って秋になって待ちに待った今日は運動会
さぁさぁ位置についてヨーイ、ドンで
The seasons pass, it’s autumn now, it’s the long awaited sports festival
Now everyone get into your places, ready, set

DUGOUT and 透明人間18号 English Translation

2013-01-04T05:36:43Z

Hello!

I am going by the order of the Zettai Enmei DVD, so this is it. Okumanshousha 億万笑者 has already been done before. Hopefully, someday, I will get round to subbing the DVD. Someday...

DUGOUT
母の腹を裂いてまで出てきたこの娑婆この世界に
母の痛みに見合うだけの
意味を意義を遺せる気もしなくて
Until my mother’s belly was cut, I waited to come out to this corrupt world
There wasn’t any will to allow meaning or significance to remain
That could compare to her pain

お腹のへその緒がとれた時からもう人は皆迷子
喩えて言うならそれはまるで
紐のとれた凧が空に羽ばたく様
When their umbilical cords were taken off, everyone became a lost child
To illustrate that, it’s like a kite with its string cut off, fluttering in the sky
最近よく戻りたくなるよ産道通って還りたくなるよ
でっかくなって戻って来たよと言って
Recently I’ve been wanting to go back, I’ve been wanting to return to my birth canal
I’ve grown big and come back, it said
探したって居場所はないよそんなもんどこにもない
ここにあるのは見渡す限りの宇宙だけ
I’ve searched for the place where I belong, but there’s no such place
All that is here is a universe as far as our human eyes can see

この広大な世界の真ん中に
この小さな社会の隅っこに
置き去りにされたこの身の
やり場を知る術もなくて
In the middle of this wide world
In the corner of this small society
There is no way to know
Where the refuge of this deserted body is

迷子と迷子が擦れ違うたび
一つ、また一つと道は増えて
入り組んでゆくだけの迷路を
誰かがふと世界と呼んでみたんだ
Whenever a lost child passes by another lost child,
One by one, the paths multiply
The maze which goes on to become more complicated
Someone incidentally tried to call it the world

「あっち行こうよ」「こっちに行こうよ」
「あっち行けよ、こっち来るなよ」
「それならばあっちに行こうよねぇそうしようよ」
“Let’s go there” “Let’s go here”
“Go there, don’t come here”
“If that’s so, let’s go there, yes let’s do that”
どっちに行こうと袋小路見つかりっこない広小路
後ろ振り返れば果てのない歴史が
The dead end of the question “Where should we go?”
The main street we can’t find
The history that has no end if we look back
積み上がった歳月の先頭に
朽ちてゆく時代の最後尾に
置き忘れられたこの身の
振り方知る術もなくて
At the head of the piled up years
At the end of the rotting generation
I who has been forgotten and left behind
Don’t even know what to do
迷子が出した答えの数だけ道ができた
道が交じったとこに諍いが生まれたんだ
いつだって勝者の遺した言葉が歴史になった
そう僕みたいな敗者が残した言葉なんか
けむに巻かれてゆく流れてゆく葬られてゆく
The number of answers from lost people is the number of paths
Conflict was born at the junctions of these paths
The words the winners left behind would always turn into “history”
The words left behind from a loser like me
Will roll away in the smoke, flow away, and be buried away
毎日何かを食べてまでしがみついているこの世界に
殺めた命に見合うだけの価値が意味が
あるとは到底思えるはずもなくて
Until you eat something every day in this cruel world
If it exists, I cannot imagine
The corresponding meaning and value of murdered lives
超えてきた日々揺らいだとて
建てた誓いが明日を閉ざしたとて
慰めだろうか罰なのか
時は流れを速めるの
The days that are passes are wavering
The vows that are made make us lose our tomorrow
Is this a consolation or a punishment
Time is passing faster and faster
何言われようがその手その脚縛られようが
その脚が向いた方がいつ何時だって前になんだ
前倣えって言われようが
気づいたらばビリになっていようが
後ろ振り返ってみりゃ
ほら先頭にブッチギって立ってるんだ
No matter what is said, even if these arms and legs are tied
The direction which these legs are facing is always forward
Even if you say “Imitate the person in front of you”
Even if I realise I’m the last
But looking back,
See, I’m right ahead in front.

透明人間18号

晴れた空の蒼さだけじゃもはやかばいきれはしなくて
このままではボロが出ると黒く染まり色を仕舞いこんだ
されど黒に身を預けるほどの懐などなくて
どちらにせよ潔さが求められることを知った
The blueness of the clear sky already can’t be held in
If it goes on like this showing it’s worn-out, black will seep in and end it
But I don’t have the heart to give myself to the blackness
I know no matter what, I just long for myself to be pure and clean

聖者も僕も同様に照らしてくれるのが救いだよ
太陽が照らす相手選んだらきっと僕に色は与えられない
Saints and I are the same – when we are shone on that is our salvation
If the sun chose to shine on the other, I’m sure I won’t be given any colour

ただ一つを貫く人幾色にも塗れる人
それぞれなけなしの正しさを振り絞っているのに僕は
白と黒の狭間で今日も見事なまでの灰の色
涙一つこぼしてみても色は教えてはくれない
Even if it’s someone who sticks to one colour, or if it’s someone who is smeared with colours
I strive to find the rightness to every small little thing
Even today, in the narrow space between black and white, there’s a brilliant grey colour
When a tear drops, I can’t tell the colour

賢者も空も凡人もそれぞれの色に染まる中
太陽の光纏った君は無色透明に輝いていた
Sages, the sky or normal people, all are dyed with different colours
You who are clad in the sun’s light, shone in a colourless transparency

何ににも染まらぬように何にでも溶けるように
心と声との隙間に裸で立ってられるように
So that I won’t be dyed with any colour, so that I can melt into any colour,
So that I can stand naked in the opening between my voice and heart

黒発:白着鈍行に乗り何万回目かの里帰り
その道すがら乗り込んできた君に僕は見つかったんだ
すると灰の色の僕を眺め綺麗と言ったんだ
虹の色を掻き混ぜると同じ色をしていると
Sitting on the slow train that starts at black and terminates at white,
I’ve sat on hundreds and thousands of trips to my hometown
Along the way you boarded the train and you found me
And then you gazed at the grey me and said that I was beautiful
The rainbow colours were mixed into me and I became the same colour as you

聖者の声がこの僕の耳にも聞こえるのは救いだよ
声が届く相手選んだらきっと君と僕は出会えぬまま
My ears can hear the sage’s voice— that is salvation to me
If his voice chose to reach someone else, I’m sure you and I wouldn’t meet

何ににも染まらぬように色々から逃げるように
これっぽっちのこの僕に何を選べというのかい
So that I wouldn’t be dyed with any colour, so that I can run away from many things
This little me – what should I choose?

僕にもなれるかな
何か嫌いというには何も知らないから

僕にもできるかな
この命の間に全ての色を手に
Can I become this?
What do I hate? I don’t know either
Can I even do it?
Gathering all the colours into my hands in this life

できるかな
Can I do it?

愛さないで愛でよう
探らないで探そう
語らないで喋ろう
歩まないで歩こう
Admire but don’t love
Search but don’t fumble around
Chat but don’t talk
Walk forward but don’t take small steps

愛さないで愛でよう
飾らないで飾ろう
変わらないで変えよう
失くさないで捨てよう
歩まないで歩こう
Admire but don’t love
Decorate but don’t adorn
Make a change but don’t change yourself
Throw it away but don’t lose it
Walk forward but don’t take small steps

億万笑者 Okumanshousha English Translation

2012-05-05T16:38:13Z

Hi I am back with a new translation, been real busy for the past few months, sorry. Hopefully I'll be able to translate some of the other songs from their (not-so) new album soon! On another note, I have been trying to sub clips from the tour DVD, but because of youtube copyright issues, I can't get them up. Would it be better if I put them on for download? Would anybody at all be interested? Comment below please. Thanks.

億万笑者 (MIllions of Smilers)

明日に希望を持った者だけに絶望があるんだ
何かを信じた者だけに裏切りはあるんだ
There will be despair only for those who have hope for tomorrow
There will be betrayal only for those who believe in something

勇者だけに与えられた名誉の負傷とでも言うのか
それにしてはずいぶんと割に合わないな
Could it even be called a wound of honour only bestowed upon the brave?
Even so, it wouldn’t fit the proportion

手にしたいものがない者に眠れぬ夜はないんだ
守りたいものがない者にこの怖れなどないんだ
There will not be sleepless nights for those who do not want anything
There will not be such fear for those who have nothing to protect

握りしめることもなければ奪われることもないんだ
失くしたって気付かぬ者からは
何も奪えやしないんだ
If there is nothing to grasp onto, there will be nothing to snatch away
There is nothing to snatch away from those who don’t know when they’ve lost something

「絶望なんかまだしてんの?
何をそんな期待してるの?」
ご忠告どうもありがとうでも譲る気はないんだ
“Are you still in despair? What is it that you anticipate so much for?”
Thank you very much for the advice, but I have no intention to surrender

僕はね知ってるんだこれらすべて
喜びの対価だと万歳のおたまじゃくしだと
Well, I know all of these things are
Compensation for happiness and celebration for tadpoles

僕の肩に乗った彼らすべて
対義の語とセットなの
片割れのもとへ無事届けるまで
All those people who rode on my shoulders
Are sets with opposite words
Until they safely reach the origin of those who broke off

裏切りを知った者だけに疑いが芽生えるんだ
そいつを手にした自らの汚れを憎むんだ
Doubt will sprout only for those who know betrayal
Only those who use them for self-profit will hate the impurity

でもそもそもの元を辿っていけば
正しさに気付くんだ
どれほどの価値があったかは手放してから知るんだ
But if we follow it up to the very beginning,
We will realize it is right
No matter how much value it has, we will only know if we let go of it

「身軽になったこの体で
僕はどこにだって行けるよ」
いや、手放した時はもうすでに
その価値は分からないんだ
“I can go anywhere with this body that has become light”
No – when I let go of it,
I already didn’t know its value

僕だけ知ってるんだこれらすべて
喜びの対価だと昨今のドル円相場はどう?
Only I know all of these things are
Compensation for happiness
How has the dollar-yen exchange market been recently?

この際だもう目指そうかせっかくだから
効率優先至上主義の現代の億万笑者でもねぇ
Should I aim for it during this circumstance? Because I have tried so hard
Even for the modern millions of smiling people under supremacism, efficiencism and prioritism*

一人では叶えられないとこの寂しさは言うんだ
本当に寂しいのはそう思えなくなることなんだ
This loneliness said it can’t be achieved alone
I can’t really believe in loneliness anymore

僕が僕を諦めたらもう痛みなどないんだ
それだけでこれら全てがたまらなく愛しいんだ
If I surrendered myself, there wouldn’t be any more pain
With just that, all of this is unbearably beloved

僕はね知ってるんだこれらすべて
喜びの対価だと本日の為替相場はどう?
Only I know all of these things are
Compensation for happiness
How are the exchange rates today?

ねぇどうしたの? そんなにいっぱい抱え込んでさ
とんだ文明の退化だとどんだけあざ笑われようと
Hey what’s happened? You’re carrying so much with your hands
This horrible degeneration of culture
That is laughed at so much

僕なら大丈夫さもうビクともしないから
だってもうじき会えるんだ片割れが待ってんだ
手に入れるんだあなたとはもっと違う笑い方を僕は
It’s okay if it’s me, it doesn’t even scare me anymore
Because we can already meet soon, I’m waiting for those who broke off
A different smile will be put in my hands, you and me

* Yes I am aware that these are not words. What he was trying to say here was that the millions of smiling people were from present-times, and that they were following ideologies of priority, efficiency and supremacy. So i just added -ism to make them sound like ideologies.

Hi everyone. I new in the community, but i want to share the new pv of Radwimps. This song is for the victims of the tsunami/earthquake of the 2011. The song is really good, i wanted to cry when i hear the song; the pv is simple, but a lot symbolic. ^^:
