Lyrics and Translations (Studio48)

hi,

is it possible if anyone can give the colourcoded for ''Otanoshimi wa ashita kara'' please?

thanks

 

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I think you're missing a part of the lyrics in your translation?
「やさしくされても
どうすればいいのか
睨みつけるしかなかった」
This part go after the third paragraph, the one that ends with "暗い眼差しで/With the dark glance I send others", but your translation goes straight to the chorus .

 

Sorry if I wasn't clear, this part is in the kana/romaji lyrics, but it's not translated.

 

Yup, that is what it's for, submitting lyrics and colorcodes ^^

Chicken LINE

Spoiler

I’ve been waiting for you
On the crowded train platform
But I guess you aren’t coming, why?
The wind blows through this bench
“There’s something I want to say to you”
Maybe I read too much into your message

It’s already too close to the time
When our usual train arrives
I shouldn’t have hoped
That we would go home together
I was the only one eager for that
As I was about to hit cancel…

The stamp that came suddenly said I LOVE YOU! (I LOVE YOU!)
I’m sure you’re hiding somewhere nearby
That’s so cowardly

Instead of on LINE
I’d rather you look in my eyes!
If you really do love me
Come face me directly and confess!
I don’t want to read it
Let me hear your voice
I want to know how committed you are
Receiving your feelings like this, I’m only skimming through text

“Dating” or “not dating”
We’re at a vague line between them
Isn’t going one way or the other
Dependent on how we get there?
“I love you too” Are you
Trying to get me to say this? Quit screwing around

Even so, I keep waiting for you
I feel like you’ll suddenly turn up
Did you go home already or not?
I chose to keep believing in love
But my imagination started betraying me
And my excitement disappeared

My phone suddenly rings with Your NAME (Your NAME)
If you’re going to call me, just come here
Seems you don’t like taking risks

Show me your face
Say it clearly!
Even if you get rejected by a girl
That’s not such an embarassment for a guy
When you play it safe
Love doesn’t happen
It only can when hearts beat with excitement
If you’re just knocking* me to confess, your love won’t come through

Look in my eyes
Fair and square
When you’re prepared for the worst
That’s when I’ll give you a YES or NO answer

Instead of on LINE
Instead of on LINE
I’d rather you look in my eyes!
If you really do love me
Come face me directly and confess!
I don’t want to read it
Let me hear your voice
I want to know how committed you are
Receiving your feelings like this, I’m only skimming through text

*”knock” on LINE app is to get someone’s attention

Kanojo ga iru ("He Has a Girlfriend")

Spoiler

The sunlight shines in geometric patterns
On the floor of the classroom
Becoming countless triangles
Like painting springtime
While we do our cleaning duties
Everyone plays around
Trying our best to step over
Any sunny spots

They’re the manifestation of someone’s feelings
I don’t want to break them
But thanks to me
Something has started to cast shadows
There’s pain in depths of my heart

He has a girlfriend
I already knew that
Though I love him
Very much
I couldn’t dream of
Standing in the way of
His happiness
In love, my heart draws
A beautiful shape

The sun begins to set
When I draw the curtains
The complex shapes
All disappear
The desks and chairs
Go back to looking normal
But I still have the feeling
That something is different than usual

Changing and unchanging things
Are all right before my eyes
The after-school bell rings
In this empty classroom
I can’t bring myself to utter a sound

He has a girlfriend
It was a shock to find out
But I’m sure
That he’s truly attached
My thoughts don’t turn
To wanting to change fate
Love is stronger than anything
The evidence of reality

He has a girlfriend
I already knew that
Though I love him
Very much
I couldn’t dream of
Standing in the way of
His happiness
In love, my heart draws
A beautiful shape

Kiss Position

Spoiler

Unable to wait for the right season
We went to the ocean
Not a soul to be seen
On the beach in May

At the water’s edge
I dipped a finger in
My shout betrayed
How cold it still was

You stood next to me
Laughing
With both hands
In your jeans pockets…
“You’re too impatient”
You said, exasperated
But I have a reason to be

You have to make plans
For midsummer love
If you don’t hurry up
The beach will be too crowded
That’s why I wanted to be with you
For a preview
To find the best, most wonderful
Kiss position

The sky and sea
Mix together at the horizon
The surfers
Monopolize their waves

I want to take off my sneakers
And go for a run
But I might catch a cold
In bare feet

You said you wanted
To go see a movie
Worried about the time
You pretend to check your watch
“When the rainy season’s over, let’s come back”
You muttered
From beside me

You have to make preparations
For midsummer love
I have to buy
A fashionable swimsuit…
I wanted to see exactly where
The sun sinks to the horizon
For a beautiful sunset
Kiss position

You have to make plans
For midsummer love
If you don’t hurry up
The beach will be too crowded
That’s why I wanted to be with you
For a preview
To find the best, most wonderful
Kiss position

Is that your secret?

Spoiler

Is that your secret?
(Secret Secret)
Secret time
(Secret Secret)
Is that your secret?
(Secret Secret)
Your secret
(Secret Secret)

The lack of a sign
Draws your face into a pout
You reapply your lipstick
Turning your lips crimson

You pick up a taxi and disappear to somewhere (disappear)
As if possessed by something (as if)
The space between night and morning swallows you up

Is that your secret?
(Secret Secret)
Secret time
(Secret Secret)
Is that your secret?
(Secret Secret)
Your secret
(Secret Secret)
Why am I captivated
By your secret?
Secret

Like nothing happened
You simply return here
Your slightly heavy breathing
Tells the story “There’s a reason”

Suddenly you draw closer with a wink (with a wink)
“The night is still young” you say (you say)
Will I be sucked into your unsolved mystery?

Is this my secret?
(Secret Secret)
Secret zone
(Secret Secret)
Is this my secret?
(Secret Secret)
That’s a secret
(Secret Secret)
Everyone has
Their own secrets

It’s not of the light
Love is an illusion

Is that your secret?
(Secret Secret)
Secret time
(Secret Secret)
Is that your secret?
(Secret Secret)
Your secret
(Secret Secret)
Why am I captivated
By your secret?

Tabi no Tochuu ("On a Journey")

Spoiler

I’ve crossed so many oceans
When I stopped to think, I realized
I left my hometown so far behind
Since the day I flew away to find myself
I’ve been living by entrusting my fate to the wind

Though there were nights when I was anxious
About whether I could get used to an unfamiliar land

While on my journey, I learned what love is
Even far apart, our hearts could reach one another
The sky we see above us goes on forever
We are all dreaming the same dream

Longing for a more shining place
You spread your wings and came flying
That’s what you told us
Questioning “who am I really?”
We admire your courage to break away from the crowd

Painful things have happened to you
Through it all, you kept on smiling

What did you learn while on your journey?
How did the setting sun look to you?
To shake off discouraging feelings
You kept believing the sun would rise again in the east

Everyone in the world
Is reaching out towards something invisible
Together with the stars in the night sky
I’m preparing to face a cloudless tomorrow

While on your journey, you learned what love is
Even far apart, our hearts could reach one another
The sky we see above us goes on forever
We are all dreaming the same dream

What did you learn while on your journey?
How did the setting sun look to you?
To shake off discouraging feelings
You kept believing the sun would rise again in the east

Bouenkyou no nai Tenmondai ("Observatory Without a Telescope")

Spoiler

All alone
I snuck out at midnight
To secretly visit
The old observatory

The telescope has long since
Been dismantled
The window a wide open gap
It’s like the husk of a dream

Though we used to always
Come here and look upwards
We never saw the sky of our hearts

Starlight, star of passion
Starlight, the days of our youth
They shine brilliant and unchanging
I’m made forlorn by the starry night sky
Tonight, the feel of the breeze
Tonight, the smell of summer grass
I remember you
Sweet and slightly bitter
That summer’s love

We were always skipping class
With our friends
While drinking canned coffee
We talked about our future

If the telescope could see
Ten years into the future
And we could take a peek at ourselves
I wonder, would I have dared?

The rays of the sun reaching me now
Cause a halation of love
The things we can’t see are precious

Sunshine, the light and the darkness
Sunshine, the hours we spent together
Though the shape of it may change
It will keep watching over our fate
Look at the blue sky and the clouds
Look at the shimmering mirages
We can’t go back to how it was
I’ve become an adult
That was my nostalgic summer

It’s not recorded
On any map of the night sky
The star we found that night
Doesn’t have a name

Starlight, star of passion
Starlight, the days of our youth
They shine brilliant and unchanging
I’m made forlorn by the starry night sky
Tonight, the feel of the breeze
Tonight, the smell of summer grass
I remember you
Sweet and slightly bitter
That summer’s love

 

Ikuta Erika's solo of Nogizaka46's 1st Album: Anata no tame ni hikitai ("I want to play for you")

Spoiler

In early times,
I started my piano lessons
Little hands go back and forth
On the keyboard

One day, at the contest
I want to win
Becomming a world-wide known pianist
Was my dream

Right now,
Please listen
Only to
My piano
I felt more happy
Then on the glamorous stage
Thank You

In happy times, in sad times
My fingers went back
To the piano
As if their were chatting

While aiming for the music college
I noticed
That my dream
Was diffrent

Right now,
I'm the piano for you
We're talking
This love...
Better then thousands of spectators
In front of my eyes
Thank you

For people who are importent to me
I played this song
With my heart

Right now,
Please listen
Only to
My piano
I felt more happy
Then on the glamorous stage
Thank You

In early times,
I started my piano lessons

 

I did some translations for some of the less-coherently Anglicized SKE songs

If anyone has any specific new translation requests for songs that already have trans I'll try to do them in the next few days.

Tsuyokimono yo ("The Strong Ones")

Spoiler

The strong ones
The true victors
Once the battle is over
For whose sake
Are those tears
You’re shedding?

The wind is a fleeting thing
It changes direction so suddenly
It even rains
At the whims of fortune

What you dreamed of so many times
By a miracle has come true
The sky right now stretches on
Far into the future

Never forget
“Winning” is painful
Because someone has to lose
The vanquished you see depart
Stay deep in your memories…

The strong ones
The true victors
Covered in scars
What you’ve obtained
Is the weight of glory
The strong ones
The true victors
Alone you stand up again
For what reason
Do you continue walking?
Down that road
Change the world!

The wind that never ceases
Will also someday stop blowing
The furiously beating pulsation
Is now so still…

Wounds can heal
But the way you’ve lived never fades
Someday you’ll realize
That it was a mistake

In conflicts
There’s never really a winner
When you know how fruitless it is
Your heart becomes unquiet

The strong ones
The noble warriors
What has been lost to you?
The prize that waits for you
Is loneliness
The strong ones
The noble warriors
For what
Do you live on to protect?
The only thing that never changes
Is love
Change the world!

Please remember
This pain
Is someone’s despair
The place you dreamed of
Could never be paradise

The strong ones
The final victors
Covered in scars
What you’ve obtained
Is the weight of glory
The strong ones
The final victors
Alone you stand up again
For what reason
Do you continue walking?
Down that road
Change the world!

Pareo wa Emerald ("Emerald Pareo")

Spoiler

In the depths of the ocean
It seems I’ve found a rare fish
In a corner of my heart
For the first time, I felt attraction

The sun is a clear sign
That the season of burning passion has begun…

Your emerald pareo
Wearing summer around your waist
The ocean reflects its color
Your emerald pareo
In the salty sea breeze
You’re a girl who’s become a woman
Until
(Until)
Yesterday
(Yesterday)
You were
(You were)
Somehow different
And I’ve
Completely
Fallen in love with you

The many islands among the waves
Overflow with unkown wonders
My heart thought of you as a little sister
But now a window in it has been opened

Romance always happens so suddenly
I started to realize my sparkling affection for you

A sudden flash of emerald
Captivates my vision
A beauty I never knew before now
A sudden flash of emerald
The time of innocence
Personified by a smiling girl
Your black
(black)
Eyes
(eyes)
What
(what)
Do they hope for?
But I can’t
Seem
To move from here

Your emerald pareo
Wearing summer around your waist
The ocean reflects its color
Your emerald pareo
In the salty sea breeze
You’re a girl who’s become a woman
You’re the most
(the most)
Beautiful
(beautiful)
Woman
(woman)
In the world
And I’ve
Completely
Fallen in love with you

Aishiteraburu

Spoiler

I LOVE YOU!
I LOVE YOU!

You speed in your bright red convertible
As if you’re racing the coastline
Hand on the steering wheel, oh~ sunglasses girl
You turn towards me to say something

The two of us staring at each other
Look like we’re about to kiss
Suddenly realizing our surroundings
No way (no way)
Everyone’s staring at us!

Shout it! I LOVE YOU!
Even louder, I LOVE YOU!
My love
Burn with more passion
Than even the sun!
Shout it! I LOVE YOU!
I wanna share with you, I LOVE YOU!
Our feelings
Mix and overlap
AISHITERABURU!

I LOVE YOU!
I LOVE YOU!
The guy who rents boats looks envious
Laughing with us in too friendly a way
While we flirt with each other on the boardwalk
Our ice cream even melts

Love born in summer
Doesn’t last very long
That’s what all the adults say
But I know (but I know)
That we’ll be an exception

Right here! I LOVE YOU!
With exaggerated actions, I LOVE YOU!
Don’t blush!
Just how serious are you?
Show me!
Right here! I LOVE YOU!
Say it with me, I LOVE YOU!
Reality
Won’t break our unison
I LOVE YOU!

Shout it! I LOVE YOU!
Even louder, I LOVE YOU!
My love
Burn with more passion
Than even the sun!
Shout it! I LOVE YOU!
You’re my #1 in the world, I LOVE YOU!
Let’s share our feelings
At the same time together
AISHITERABURU!

I LOVE YOU!
I LOVE YOU!

Kiss datte hidarikiki ("You Even Kiss Left-Handed")

Spoiler

You even kiss left-handed
I noticed while my eyes were closed
You start a little from the left
And there, our lips meet

With the fork in your left hand
You deftly twirl your pasta
Even a movement as mundane as that
Is something I suddenly noticed about you

“You have something different than all the rest”
Is a phrase said by everyone who’s in love

You even kiss left-handed
You suddenly take my right arm
I tilt my head to the side
And wait for what comes next
You even kiss left-handed
I noticed while my eyes were closed
You start a little from the left
And there, our lips meet

Always by your side
I want to observe you
I want to store your expressions
And habits in my heart

“Why did you fall in love with me?”
It’s because I was met with a fated answer

Your cool left-handedness
I tried imitating you a little
But I couldn’t do it like you do
I’ll practice some more and see
Your cool left-handedness
That’s right, that’s not the only thing
You always do everything in your own style
That policy is why you’re wonderful

You reach out your hand
(by accident)
Our fingers touch
(together)
It seems like the two of us
Can become one person

You even kiss left-handed
You suddenly take my right arm
I tilt my head to the side
And wait for what comes next
You even kiss left-handed
I noticed while my eyes were closed
You start a little from the left
And there, our lips meet

My dream is your dominant arm

 

Omg thank you, could you please re translate the whole Seifuku no Me stage when you have the time? And also S2 and B5? I translated those but I'm sure they're super off T_T So if you could please translate them again I would be so grateful! I didn't mean to translate things so poorly because my japanese isn't perfect and back then was even worse, but nobody was translating anything back then so I figured a choppy translation might be better than no translation to get the point across.

 

@garnetjester Wow I am pretty surprised by this. That represents a lot of hard work you did. It takes a lot of guts to be this humble too, I can really respect that First I want to thank you for your hard work and putting yourself out there to give it a shot. I'm glad when people care about the lyrics of the songs

Checking over your translations, while there are a few English grammar mistakes, you have actually made very few mistakes in translation. For the most part, my translations would only be a small style improvement over yours. Rather than doing completely new translations, I could just fix the few wrong parts I found, if that's okay with you. Or if you're less comfortable with that than complete retranslations, I can do that as well. Let me know

 

Thank you! English is not my native language so I was even more worried about not being able to convey things properly in the translation itself. Yes, a correction of the things that are off would be great. Thanks a lot again! I really appreciate your hard work!

 

May I repeat my wish for translation of Futari dake no Kioku and Kokoro no Kagi?

 

Not an expert in Japanese but I think "誰かの後を付いて行けば 傷つかないけど" means "If you're just following someone, you won't be hurt" instead of "you won't notice"?

 

As I just found out, Sakurairo no sora no shita de from 10nen zakura is totally missing on Studio48.
