[V6] Lyrics - 20th Century - Ore Ja Nakya, Kimi Ja Nakya

Oct 15, 2008 22:18

First up off my pending list! Since several people have expressed interest in this, I've translated 20th Century's Ore Ja Nakya, Kimi Ja Nakya. It's a great song-- the lyrics are surprisingly kind of emo, but overall it's a positive song that encourages you to move on. And the PV is... on quite a lot of crack too. XD

Give it a listen if you haven't already! Enjoy ♥

V6 - 20th Century - Ore Ja Nakya, Kimi Ja Nakya

It has to be me, or it can't be done
It has to be you, or it won't be done
If there's something you want to convey
Just go for it without hesitation

A song connected to embarrassing memories
suddenly filtered into my ears
This offhanded background music
unwittingly stilled my hands

What is that person doing right now?
Are they immersed in work right now?
That person whom I really liked
Are they still smiling right now?

Though there was nothing particularly sad
nor were there huge troubles
It seems like the time has stopped
My days have become heavier

It has to be me, or it can't be done
It has to be you, or it won't be done
If there's something you want to convey
Just go for it without hesitation

To me and yes, to you as well
There will be nights where you want to cry
Don't be anxious, don't turn back
Just believe in yourself

Memories which you can laugh at
are a bit too realistic
Though to say that's what you're yearning for
It's still got a ways to go yet

The love which you disregarded everything for
The laughter that was full of innocence
And the weeping which you gritted your teeth for
Even now, they're still burning in your chest

Even today, on a street somewhere
You're definitely doing what I'm doing
Thinking things shouldn't be this way
as we look up at the night sky

It has to be me, or it can't be done
It has to be you, or it won't be done
If you don't want to give up
Just go for it at once

Burst out towards tomomorrow
Even if you get no answers
I hope you will treasure
The you that has begun to understand yourself

It has to be me, or it can't be done
It has to be you, or it won't be done
If there's something you want to convey
Just go for it without hesitation

To me and yes, to you as well
There will be nights where you want to cry
Don't be anxious, don't turn back
Just believe in yourself

If it isn't now, it can't be done
Just believe yourself and go for it

[T/N: I was looking over these lyrics just now, and while 走れ (eg. 信じて走れ) translates directly to "run (forward)", it flows much better if I go for a more colloquial term, so I settled with "go for it" instead.]
