[lyrics] Tegomass - Tanabata Matsuri
EDIT: I know steal&repost-ing can't be avoided, but I would really appreciate it if you left credits at the bottom of wherever it is you repost my translations. Even just a "CREDITS TO BOXEDYELLOW@LJ" is fine.
I'll admit I'm a credit psycho, and because I am one, I've been now and again checking around for people leeching off my LJ without permission or due credit - which, by the way, people have actually gone ahead and done. I know its basically unavoidable, but I'll leave this as a HEALTHYYY reminder for you all to PLEASE LEAVE CREDITS. Thank you. Now enjoy yourself:
KANJI
東京の空には星がないんだってね
君からの手紙にはそう書いてあったけど
こっちは相変わらずさ 何も変わりない
この時期になると祭りの準備さ
駅前の商店街の笹飾り
君も知ってる景色さ
子供たちははしゃいで走り回る
あの頃と変わらないよ
七夕祭りが近づく夜は
並んで歩いたこと思い出す
覚えているかな
二人で眺めた
満天の星空に合いにおいでよ
カエルの鳴く轍を歩いて
笹を取りに行ったね
覚えてる？
君はいつも青色の短冊選んだこと
覚えてる
七夕祭りが近づく夜は
並んで歩いたこと思い出す
覚えているかな
二人で眺めた
満天の星空に合いにおいでよ
がんばりすぎるのは君だけどさ
たまには立ち止まってみたら
昔短冊に書いた願いを
一生に思い出そうよ
七夕祭りが近づく夜は
並んで歩いたこと思い出す
覚えているかな
二人で眺めた
満天の星空に合いにおいでよ
ラララ．．．
満天の星空に合いにおいでよ
満天の星空に合いにおいでよ
ROMAJI
Tokyo no sora ni wa hoshi ga naindatte ne
Kimi kara no tegami ni wa sou kaiteatta kedo
Kocchi wa aikawarazu sa nanimo kawarinai
Kono jiki ni naru to matsuri no jumbi sa
Eki mae no shouten gai no sasa kazari
Kimi mo shitteru keshiki sa
Kodomo tachi wa hashaide hashiri mawaru
Ano koro to kawaranai yo
Tanabata Matsuri ga chikazuku yoru wa
Narande aruita koto omoidasu
Oboeteiru ka na
Futari de nagameta
manten no hoshizora ni ai ni oide yo
Kaeru no naku wadachi wo aruite
Sasa wo tori ni itta ne
Oboeteru?
Kimi wa itsumo aoiro no tanzaku eranda koto
oboeteru
Tanabata Matsuri ga chikazuku yoru wa
Narande aruita koto omoidasu
Oboeteiru ka na
Futari de nagameta
manten no hoshizora ni ai ni oide yo
Ganbari sugiro no ga kimi dakedo sa
Tama ni wa tachidomatte mitara
Mukashi tanzaku ni kaita negai wo
isshouni omoidasou yo
Tanabata Matsuri ga chikazuku yoru wa
Narande aruita koto omoidasu
Oboeteiru ka na
Futari de nagameta
manten no hoshizora ni ai ni oide yo
Lalala...
Manten no hoshizora ni ai ni oide yo
Manten no hoshizora ni ai ni oide yo

There aren't any stars in the Tokyo sky
Well, that's what was written in the letter you sent
Everything's the same as always here, nothing's changed
During this time of year we're preparing for the festival
The bamboo shoot decors in the store by the station
You're familiar with this scenery too
With all the children happily running around
Nothing's changed since then
I remember walking along with you
on nights when the Tanabata Festival neared
I wonder if you still remember
Come and see that full starry sky
we once looked up at together
The frogs croaked as we walked along the wheel tracks
We headed off to pick the bamboo grass
Do you remember that?
You always chose the blue strip of paper*
I remember that
I remember walking along with you
on nights when the Tanabata Festival neared
I wonder if you still remember
Come and see that full starry sky
we once looked up at together
You're the one who works too hard
Why don't you try and give it a rest sometimes?
Let's recall the wish you wrote
on that old strip of paper
I remember walking along with you
on nights when the Tanabata Festival neared
I wonder if you still remember
Come and see that full starry sky
we once looked up at together
Lalala...
Meet me under that full starry sky
Meet me under that full starry sky
Legend : Tegoshi Massu Unison
*Translator's notes:
"strip of paper" - it's actually called tanzaku, and it's a long strip of cardboard where people write their wishes and then hang them up on branches of trees.
On a side note: Why does Tegoshi get two full verses and Massu only gets one? LOL
I did all of this myself, (literally everything, including typing out the kanji myself) so if you're going to repost any of this anywhere, please leave a comment and credit properly. :)
The spacing of the Kanji and Romaji was adjusted according to how I spaced the translation, sorry about that.
