SNOW - WANIMA - Everybody!!
Hi! I'm back with a new attempt of translation, this time it was really hard to start, just like the previous time... Let's see how this end, and yes, despite my very fleeting emotion of glee, I can understand his emotions very well. Let's start
This is the second time I attempt translating his lyrics and this time I had a better idea of what to expect, I'm not sure though if that even helped...
So, this is the only ballad and the song with the slower tempo in WANIMA's second studio album called Everybody!!. Since I listened to their song in Keiji Yugami's ending I searched for them and discovered them, and I love their music, it's just the genre I like so much. After that, I found out I'd already listened to other of their songs, the one from the CM... that really famous...from AU, this one. I enjoy all of those XD
Anyhow, I'm still enjoying a lot listening to their new album and this one I think is my favorite this far <3. I got kanji from here.

WANIMA - SNOW KANJI LYRICS
ひそやかに息を引き取った
あさやけが町を眩しく照らす頃
閉じ込めたイロイロが溢れ出して
誰にも止められない運命の方がいい…
答えれず仕方ないと時間は経って
過去も未来も呑み込んで連れ去ってゆく
さよならも言い出せずに
気が付けばこんな場所まで
寒い日も暑い日も
心はカラのままだよ 驚いてる…
引き裂いて…行かないで…
続きを… 綴れず…
最後になるならもっと… 癒えず眠る
誰も知らない
過去も未来も呑み込んで連れ去ってゆく
さよならも言い出せずに
今年もこんな場所まで
キミは言う「かまわずに」
影は長く伸びて消えた
さよならも言い出せずに
気が付けばこんな場所まで
寒い日も暑い日も
心はカラのままだよ…
さよならが来る前に
伝えておけばよかったけど
やっと今 辿り着いた丘
見守ってて受け取って
まだ愛してる… ただ愛してる…
そのまま届く…
このまま届け…
今年も終わる…
今夜も…
SNOW (English Lyrics)
Soundlessly my breath was withdrawn from me
by the time the morning glow gleams its dazzling rays on the streets
the colors that were confined now permeate everything.
The fate that no one can change sounds fine...
Without being able to answer, it's inevitable, the time passes,
and I hold back from saying anything as the past and the future are taken away.
Without saying goodbye,
once I come to myself, even in this place,
in cold days as well as warm days,
my heart is still just a shell... I'm surprised...
Don't go... and tear us apart...
I can't spell... the following words...
If this becomes the end ... I'll close my eyes even more, without a cure.
Nobody knows
that I hold it back, while the past and the future are taken away from me.
Without being able to say goodbye,
this year too, at this point,
you said "don't worry about me"
and your shadow as it grew longer, disappeared.
Without being able to say goodbye,
once I come to myself, even at this point,
in cold days as well as warm days
my heart is still just a SHELL...
Before the farewell,
I wish I could have told you
that I've finally reached the top of the hill.
After deep consideration, I came to understand that
I still love you ... I just love you ...
Just like that receive it...
Just like this, I'm telling it to you...
Even if this year is ending...
even tonight...
[T/N]: So, this is so heartbreaking and sad, and heartbreaking haha. He conveys so much emotion through his voice that makes this even more poignant. I'm happy to have found such song, and I wanted to finish this for Valentine's day haha, but couldn't. Not all stories have a happy ending and I'm glad he's so good at telling it.
I had so many doubts here and there, so, I'm really sorry, as always, for any and all of my mistakes, you can kindly point out any or any doubts. Now, I'll enumerate some points that I've noticed
- He doesn't use a single pronoun, except for the 'kimi' in katakana everything else is so vague...
- I love the progression of this song, how he becomes more and more sincere towards the end...maybe the unchangeable fate is harder to accept :D
- Why SNOW? maybe because he wrote this by the end of the year, the winter season? and you can hear a sort of Christmas sound at the end? lol, I can't describe it any better!
- I tried to keep the ellipsis just like in the original lyrics, and I wrote "shell" in capitals only by the end, he does each time.
- Don't you think the highlighted stanza is the rawest in terms of pain? I like it the best.
- I doubted a lot, especially about the words said by this other person, I think I chose the ones there because... first, I thought like 'leave me alone' but I don't think it conveys the right emotion, it's like 'don't worry about me' or 'don't look after me anymore' I wish it could be conveyed not so wrong.
Overall, I like the way he writes, he sounds sincere, the pain is palpable, at least for me.
Today 28/5/19 I changed it a little further... I'm not sure yet... but I like this better... maybe haha.
💿 Everybody!! Album - English Lyrics
🎶 Human
🎶 SNOW
I like many other songs from this album, besides the singles, such as シグナル (I love the pace on this!) and ANCHOR (it starts slow but I also like the pace), CHARM is also good, oh and CHEEKY, I wonder why most of the English title songs are in capitals?? Maybe there are a couple of similar songs, mostly in sound, but I like their style, so I'm really enjoying their album :D
Well, that's it. I have a couple of posts waiting but they are pretty random. I'm still not sure which song to translate from JUMP's last single or whether I will... it's either the one I'm listening or choco chocolata lol just kidding
And I have to do something about the style here lol
See ya!
