Black of Night - Yasu's song
So, I have like .. I guess five or six songs in my pending list.. not in my head anymore, 'cause I'll most likely lose track of them.. anyway, among them there's one from Kanjani, actually one unit(?)'s one, do they even called it like that? Either way, the thing is, that before I got one line done from that one, I listened to their new single and this happened.
I'm really not into Noroshi, for some reason, but I actually like all the other songs, and especially this one. Black of night, there's a PV for this as well.. and it's quite black. I love it. And when I looked for the kanji, the lyricist and composer of this song is no one else but Yasuda Shota. I don't know why it called my attention, maybe because I like dark painful songs, but I really like this one. So, I tried to attempt to translate it.. yep leaving aside all my pending list, this happens a lot.. but I think I'll try to finish all the songs before the end of the year, just to start afresh next years' pending list lol.. I'll stop rambling and put the lyrics. Kanji from here, there's romaji there too.
Black of Night
Lyricist： Yasuda Shota
Composer： Yasuda Shota
追いかけても叫んでも振り向かない
カラダに巻きつく罪のトゲ
もう何も感じない
さめない夢の中で笑う君はまるで悪魔だ
Chasing, shouting, without looking back
I don't feel the thorns of the punishment I'm wrapped on anymore
In the middle of a dream I can't wake up from, your laugh is just as the devil's
喉が乾く誘う花の中へ迷い込む
ずっと繰り返すmistakes
一体ここはどこなんだろう?
どこまで来たんだろう?
My throat dries being lured to get astray into the path of flowers
Always repeating the same mistakes
What on earth is this place?
I wonder, how far have I actually come?
ただひとり 立ち止まると
かなたへ 消えてしまう
When I stand still all by myself,
the end of the path vanishes
Black of night
謎に包まれた この物語
だれが解くことが出来るのだろう
腕の中でもがく姿は 今にもこぼれ落ちそうで
Black of night
いつからか元の世界見失った 僕たちは
永遠に出られない 暗闇のラビリンス
Black of night
This story is wrapped in a mystery
I wonder who can solve it?
Your figure struggling in my arms, even now, is likely to just escape my grasp
Black of night
From that day when we lost sight of the real world, we got inside
of this labyrinth of darkness from which we cannot escape forever
溺れていく 海深く 引きもどせない
ココロを蝕む君の影
もう何もいらない
止まない雨の中で泣いてる君はまるで少女だ
I can't pull us back, from this deep sea in which we're almost drowning
Your shadow has destroyed my heart
I do not need anything anymore
under the implacable rain, the crying you looks just like a little girl
とりつかれてけがれた花の中で壊れてく
ずっと止まらないmistakes
一体ここはどこなんだろう?
どこまで続くんだろう?
行き着く先は何もないのか
Becoming obsessed with this poisonous flowers' path got me broken
Mistakes that will not stop forever
What on earth is this place?
How far have I come?
There's nothing ahead
ただひとり 立ち止まると
あなたに 溶けてしまう
Just alone, standing still
I'll melt with you
Black of night
謎に包まれた この物語
だれが解くことが出来るのだろう
胸の中で微笑む姿 はかなく消えてしまいそうで
Black of night
いつからかこの世界迷い込んだ 僕たちは
永遠に出られない 暗闇のラビリンス
In the black of night
This story is wrapped in a mystery
Who can solve it?
The ephemeral shape of your smile will likely disappear from inside of my chest
in the black of night
From that day in which we lost our way into this world, we are
inside this labyrinth of darkness from which we cannot escape eternally
Black of night
謎に包まれた この物語
だれが解くことが出来るのだろう
腕の中でもがく姿は 今にもこぼれ落ちそうで
Black of night
いつからか元の世界見失った 僕たちは
永遠に出られない 暗闇のラビリンス
In the Black of night
This story is wrapped in a mystery
Who can solve it?
Your figure struggling in my arms, even now is likely to just escape my grasp
in the black of night
From that day in which we lost our way into this world, we are
inside this labyrinth of darkness from which we cannot escape eternally
[T/N]: I really like writing these notes, lol. So, after listening to the secret track, which was done by Baru, he's cute, from what I was able to catch.. well first this is really a subarashi song, and I agree, and Yasu seems to be not only the composer and lyricist but also the producer of the PV/MV, even the choreo.. I really like the PV as well, it's a cool look and it really conveys the feeling of the song. Great job Yasu, I like the fact that I liked this even before knowing it's such a special song!
Then, in the secret track, he goes talking about HADAKA, which I really liked before knowing it's a song Baru made with Yoko, Subaru as the composer and Yoko as the lyricist. I really like the music! and Baru's vocals are amazing in this.. well I really like his voice.
And now, about the actual translation.. well, it's a really dark song, I'm not quite sure about the pronouns in some stanzas, as usual, it's so hard with pronouns, also about the melting with English bits.. but I sort of like the result.. maybe I'll check it again later, now it's late, and I have work tomorrow..
And about my favorite line is in bold, and it's from Tachon, of course..I really like his voice too..
And that was it..
Well, I like using the ellipsis, *is it called like that?* today, I'm tired and today was a long day, my sis got married, I don't know how to say it, but it wasn't the religious ceremony yet.. lol English! Well, it was really cute, short but cute, I was the witness, and I almost cry.. so cute..
And in other news, well about the doramas I'm only catching up with Cain & Abel, but really disliked the course it's taking.. so I don't know, I didn't enjoy it at all. I still have to watch the last two episodes from Jimi ni sugoi, and Gakki's last, that's such a cute one!!
AND, that's it, lol, I'll add some pretty pics later, 'cause I'm really tired.
