One of these days I will post something worthwhile.
...Today is not that day. I got out of two classes today, and I am really bored but not particularly in an angsty mood, so here-have the [slightly more poetic than necessary] translation I did of one of my favorite J-rock songs eveeer! :D
The Yellow Monkey - "Judie"
人工的な皮膚‥‥ジュディと名づけよう
現実の世界じゃ俺の望んでる花びらは汚れてる
感情が何回か抜けてしまった
先っちょ噛んでみてよジュディ
たまらない たまらない 身体がしびれ
とめどない とめどない 哀しささそうぜ
jinkouteki na hifu... judii to nadzukeyou
genjitsu no sekai ja ore no nozonderu hanabira wa yogoreteru
kanjou ga nankai ka nukete shimatta
sakitcho kande mite yo judii
tamaranai tamaranai karada ga shibire
tomedonai tomedonai kanashisa sasou ze
[Artificial skin; I'll name you "Judie."
In this world of reality, the flower petals for which I yearn become sordid.
How many times have my emotions escaped my body?
-Watch as they devour the future, Judie.
Unbearable, unbearable, my body becomes narcotized;
Incessant, incessant, this tantalizing grief.]
アンティークな下着で呼吸はネバネバで
君の森で今俺は服を脱ぎ
死んだようにさまよって・・・
都会の半分は腐ってしまった
もうちょっと噛んでみてよジュディ
愛ではない 愛ではない そんなもんは効かねえ
何でもない 何でもない 何でもない 続けて
antikku na shitagi de kokyuu wa nebaneba de
kimi no mori de ima ore wa fuku o nugi
shinda you ni samayotte...
tokai no hanbun wa kusatte shimatta
mou chotto kande mite yo judii
ai dewa nai ai dewa nai sonna mon wa kika nee
nandemonai nandemonai nandemonai tsudzukete
[Antique lingerie; my breath sticks in my throat.
Now in your forest, I fling away my clothes
And prowl about like the dead...
Half the city has already decayed-
Look, just a little longer and it will devour us, too, Judie.
This isn't love, this isn't love, such a question is ineffective, isn't it?
Hollow, hollow, hollow... yet still we continue.]
醜い俺のこと やさしく受け入れる
心の中まで入っていけるよ
真っ白に信じてる
迷わない 迷わない どこでも行けるぜ
かまわない かまわない 全てを捨てるぜ
minikui ore no koto yasashiku ukeireru
kokoro no naka made haitte yukeru yo
masshiro ni shinjiteru
mayowanai mayowanai doko demo ikeru ze
kamawanai kamawanai subete o suteru ze
[Tenderly accept this grotesque body
Until you break open its heart's essence
And can believe again in pure white.
Bewildered, bewildered, how far must I go?
Nothing matters, nothing matters, just cast everything aside.]
I'LL NEVER DIE
I NEVER LIE
I'M NEVER SLY
JUDIE, YEAH‥‥
