【Tsukiuta】 lyrics: March songs
I'm back from vacation! I miss the cooler temperatures already... Moving right along with Tsukiuta, here are the March albums. I'm a child of March as well, so I was especially excited to do these translations~ And like 2 out of the 3 preceding pairs of albums, these two share the second song. Oh, and I had to abbreviate the title of the post since all three song titles were too long for the character limit. So then, let's get started!
(UGUISU・CHORD -Harutsugedori no Uta-)
- On the Men's side, we have Yayoi Haru voiced by Maeno Tomoaki. I've been hearing Maeno's deeper voiced characters so much recently, I'd nearly forgotten he can do this lighter voice too (like Shouma from Corda or the "gentlemanly" Camus). Anyway, Haru is our intellectual megane character and he's one of the tallest in the bunch. He's like the reliable older brother figure that gets along with everybody. He's also close friends with Hajime (Jan.).
- Again, I was born in March, so I had high expectations for these songs, probably unrealistically so. So as much as I like them, there were surprisingly not my favorite albums of the bunch (September went and stole my heart).
- Before anyone starts with me on this, I already know that most people have chosen to romanize/translate the title as "CODE," not "CHORD," but the kana can be translated as either and, to me at least, a nightingale seems more likely to sing in musical chords than in code. If it still bothers you that much, you can go ahead and mentally correct it every time you read "chord."
- I don't know about you, but I have been exposed to so much caged bird imagery and motifs in my life that most of those phrases kept popping into my head throughout this translation. Particularly "I know why the caged bird sings" and "a bird in a gilded cage". Too bad I could never find an instance to use those particular phrases, but oh well.
(Haru no Ogawa (March Re Arrange))
- The second, traditionally based song is shared by both albums. Haru no Ogawa is a traditional Japanese children's song, although the lyrics have been expanded in this "re-arranged" version.
- I tried something a little different with this song's translation. First of all, I borrowed the 4 lines that were translated rather poetically from the site linked above, and this in turn inspired me phrase the translation so that it lines up with the beats of the original Japanese lyrics. In other words, if you were so inclined, you could sing the translated lyrics with the off vocal/karaoke version of the song and it would line up! Pretty much, anyway.
- When I listened through both versions of this song for the first time, I was kinda irked by the synth parts in the opening instrumental. You probably know which I'm talking about... It jars my ears in about the same manner as bagpipes. And it nearly distracted me once the actual singing began, but at least it dropped off after that... =_=
(Harumachi Ibuki wa Kimi Koishi)
- On the Women's side, we have Momosaki Hina voiced by Okubo Rumi. She sounds about as precious and delicate as she looks. Whereas Haru is one of the oldest members of his unit, Hina is one of the youngest in hers. She's usually mistaken as a first year, though she's actually a second year. She's a bit spacey and kind of a crybaby, and she tends to go crying to Ai (Feb.) whenever she's teased or bullied by Kurisu (Dec.) or Chisa (Apr.). And she seems to aspire to have a nice figure like Ai someday. Despite appearances, she's a hard worker and she will carry things through to the end once she's made up her mind.
- Besides the spring theme, the lyrics seems to reflect what I've read about her personality.
- And again, both albums share their composer as well.
If you wish to hear a listening sample, I have included links to the official site's pages for the albums where the PVs are posted. You can click on the album image art to get to those!
That'll wrap things up for March~♪ Logically, up next in the Tsukiuta series will be the pair of April albums. Next post should be Rei's character song album from Free! ES, but there will be a slight detour to translate UtaPri's "GOLDEN☆STAR" next instead! Until next time~♪

探しても見つからない 声は確かにする
澄ました耳鳴らして さえずり響く花の街
君は今何思う? 若葉の風に問う
自己表現の警告 虚しく羽広げて
窮屈な鳥籠 嫌いじゃないけど
甘やかすその代償
誰もさわれない 嗚呼
ウグイスコードは鳴り止まない
春を迎えに行こう
ウグイス 高架の下抜けて
ため息 ひらひらり
ウグイスコードよ鳴り響け
君のいない空を
ウグイス 啼くよ待ちわびて
呼んでる 今一人
逆さまブルースカイ
何してもつまらない 声は遠くにある
透かした手のひらから 嘯く(うそぶく)これからの自分
僕は今何処にいる? 答えは返らない
自己犠牲の告白 殻に閉じこもる本音
僕たちの明日 取り零さないように
深追いしない でも本当は
壊すのが怖い 嗚呼
ウグイスコードは鳴り止まない
春を探しに行こう
ウグイス どうか教えてくれ
世界は ゆらゆらり
ウグイスコードよ鳴り響け
君の笑顔が見たい
ウグイス 勇気に火を付けて
飛んでく 今一人
…何処まで?
窮屈な鳥籠 嫌いじゃないけど
甘やかすその代償
誰か気付いて 嗚呼
ウグイスコードは鳴り止まない
春を迎えに行こう
ウグイス 高架の下抜けて
ため息 ひらひらり
ウグイスコードは鳴り止まない
君と同じ空を
ウグイス 啼く花の街で
見つける 今一人
逆さまブルースカイ 飛んでく

はじまりの風に祝福されて 育った木々の隙間から
なかなか見渡せない空は いつもより青くて遠い
雑踏もなく 誰にも気付かれないまま
目を閉じていた私に
恰好悪く けどやさしく手を差し伸べた
君の表情が忘れられないんだ
春待ち息吹は君恋し
花咲き未来に煽られて
雪どけ緑は耐えがたし
焦がれて芽ぶいた若葉の瞳
君が気付くまで
上手くいかない事の方が多い わずかな風に揺さぶられ
降られてひどく濡れる日々も 人は見て見ぬフリ上手
躊躇いもなく 誰にも気付かれないよう
背を向けていた私は
恰好悪く けど咲きほこれる日を待って
君を試したりして沈むんだ
春待ち息吹は君恋し
刹那で落としたひと雫
梔子うらやむ花言葉
「私は幸せ」口ずさんでも
空に溶けていく

Translation:
Blessed by the first breeze of spring, trees grew up from the gap
Though we can't quite view it, the sky appears bluer and more distant than usual
Unnoticed by anyone even when it's not crowded,
My eyes shut tight,
Despite how bad it looked, you still kindly reached out to help me
I can never forget the expression on your face
The breath that waits for spring yearns for you
Fanned by the blooming future
The thawing green is too much to bear
Until you notice the new leaves of longing
That have sprouted in my eyes
Many things that don't go well are stirred up by a faint breeze
People are good at ignoring things even when they're drenched in the downpour
As if unnoticed by anyone even without hesitating,
With my back turned,
Despite how bad it looks, I'm still waiting for the day when I can be in full bloom
I sink into testing you
The breath that waits for spring yearns for you
In an instant, a single drop fell
The gardenia's jealousy in the language of flowers
"I am happy," even as I hum it to myself,
It's dissolving into the sky
It's not just right now
Spring, summer, autumn, winter, all throughout the year,
I want to bloom next to you
The breath that waits for spring yearns for you
Fanned by the blooming future
The thawing green is too much to bear
The new leaves of longing that have sprouted in my eyes
The breath that waits for spring yearns for you
The gardenia flower's double blossom opens
The breath that waits for spring yearns for you
Until you notice the new leaves of longing
That have sprouted in my eyes
(UGUISU・CHORD -Harutsugedori no Uta-)
- On the Men's side, we have Yayoi Haru voiced by Maeno Tomoaki. I've been hearing Maeno's deeper voiced characters so much recently, I'd nearly forgotten he can do this lighter voice too (like Shouma from Corda or the "gentlemanly" Camus). Anyway, Haru is our intellectual megane character and he's one of the tallest in the bunch. He's like the reliable older brother figure that gets along with everybody. He's also close friends with Hajime (Jan.).
- Again, I was born in March, so I had high expectations for these songs, probably unrealistically so. So as much as I like them, there were surprisingly not my favorite albums of the bunch (September went and stole my heart).
- Before anyone starts with me on this, I already know that most people have chosen to romanize/translate the title as "CODE," not "CHORD," but the kana can be translated as either and, to me at least, a nightingale seems more likely to sing in musical chords than in code. If it still bothers you that much, you can go ahead and mentally correct it every time you read "chord."
- I don't know about you, but I have been exposed to so much caged bird imagery and motifs in my life that most of those phrases kept popping into my head throughout this translation. Particularly "I know why the caged bird sings" and "a bird in a gilded cage". Too bad I could never find an instance to use those particular phrases, but oh well.
(Haru no Ogawa (March Re Arrange))

- I tried something a little different with this song's translation. First of all, I borrowed the 4 lines that were translated rather poetically from the site linked above, and this in turn inspired me phrase the translation so that it lines up with the beats of the original Japanese lyrics. In other words, if you were so inclined, you could sing the translated lyrics with the off vocal/karaoke version of the song and it would line up! Pretty much, anyway.
- When I listened through both versions of this song for the first time, I was kinda irked by the synth parts in the opening instrumental. You probably know which I'm talking about... It jars my ears in about the same manner as bagpipes. And it nearly distracted me once the actual singing began, but at least it dropped off after that... =_=
(Harumachi Ibuki wa Kimi Koishi)
- On the Women's side, we have Momosaki Hina voiced by Okubo Rumi. She sounds about as precious and delicate as she looks. Whereas Haru is one of the oldest members of his unit, Hina is one of the youngest in hers. She's usually mistaken as a first year, though she's actually a second year. She's a bit spacey and kind of a crybaby, and she tends to go crying to Ai (Feb.) whenever she's teased or bullied by Kurisu (Dec.) or Chisa (Apr.). And she seems to aspire to have a nice figure like Ai someday. Despite appearances, she's a hard worker and she will carry things through to the end once she's made up her mind.
- Besides the spring theme, the lyrics seems to reflect what I've read about her personality.
- And again, both albums share their composer as well.
If you wish to hear a listening sample, I have included links to the official site's pages for the albums where the PVs are posted. You can click on the album image art to get to those!
That'll wrap things up for March~♪ Logically, up next in the Tsukiuta series will be the pair of April albums. Next post should be Rei's character song album from Free! ES, but there will be a slight detour to translate UtaPri's "GOLDEN☆STAR" next instead! Until next time~♪

Softly reflect a deep green
Trying to scoop up and salvage
The dreams we had started to forget
Hey,
Smoothly, smoothly goes the brook now that spring has come again
To the violets on the bank
And the lotus blossoms, too
And you of the new leaves that are colored with the hues of spring,
Kind and gentle, you are lured
By traces of new budding growth
La la la la, moving with your light footfalls,
The tresses down your back sway to and fro
Let your form be kind and gentle
And your colors beautiful
"Bloom ye, bloom!" says the brook in a whisper as it goes
Smoothly, smoothly goes the brook now that spring has come again

Translation:
Blessed by the first breeze of spring, trees grew up from the gap
Though we can't quite view it, the sky appears bluer and more distant than usual
Unnoticed by anyone even when it's not crowded,
My eyes shut tight,
Despite how bad it looked, you still kindly reached out to help me
I can never forget the expression on your face
The breath that waits for spring yearns for you
Fanned by the blooming future
The thawing green is too much to bear
Until you notice the new leaves of longing
That have sprouted in my eyes
Many things that don't go well are stirred up by a faint breeze
People are good at ignoring things even when they're drenched in the downpour
As if unnoticed by anyone even without hesitating,
With my back turned,
Despite how bad it looks, I'm still waiting for the day when I can be in full bloom
I sink into testing you
The breath that waits for spring yearns for you
In an instant, a single drop fell
The gardenia's jealousy in the language of flowers
"I am happy," even as I hum it to myself,
It's dissolving into the sky
It's not just right now
Spring, summer, autumn, winter, all throughout the year,
I want to bloom next to you
The breath that waits for spring yearns for you
Fanned by the blooming future
The thawing green is too much to bear
The new leaves of longing that have sprouted in my eyes
The breath that waits for spring yearns for you
The gardenia flower's double blossom opens
The breath that waits for spring yearns for you
Until you notice the new leaves of longing
That have sprouted in my eyes
