Satellite Young - フェイク　メモリー

2017 Satellite Young

フェイク メモリー！

行ったことない国の価値観や
食べたことのない喫茶店のパフェ

I've always been into nonsense songs. I don't know if that's a good word for it, but you know, the songs that are silly but fun.

This is for corpus_yaoi who wanted something to compare her translations to. This is only the first section of this month's issue of the novel, but none the less here it is.

I had a fun time working on this, and depending on my work schedule this week I may or may not continue.

Here are translations of the previous chapters:

Yet another translation. I did this maybe a month ago. This song got stuck in my head and I felt happy listening to it even though it is sad. Haha.

CHARA - うそつくのに慣れないで

1991. Sweet.

わからないこと知りたいでしょ？
でも、みんな臆病ですDon’t we want to know what we don’t understand?

Amuro Namie - HimAWArI

2000 Break The Rules

せめて昨日よりも
救ってちょっとだけ
愛とかじゃなくていい
ぬくもりだけでいいAt least more than yesterday,
It's helping just a little.
Without love it's alright.
Just warmth is fine.はじめて一人で住みだした
この部屋　いろいろ通り過ぎていった
ひまわりが似合う日ざし
いつからか　カーテン閉じたままの暗い闇It's the first time to live alone.
In this room too much has passed.

BONNIE PINK - The Answer - when becoming one -

2004. Even So.

太陽が海に落ちるとき
あなたはその目を背けはしない
二つがひとつになる時
世界はとても穏やかなの
世界はとても美しいのWhen the sun falls into the sea,
Those eyes of yours do not look away.
When two become one,
The world is very calm,
The world is very beautiful.褐色のはだは大地のよう
ミルク色の肌は空の雲
二つがひとつになる時
