ILL BONE - さよなら昭和歌詞: Lyric Translation

This one’s for the 2 whole other ILL BONE fans out there. If you’re a fan of post-punk, I definitely recommend you give this album (死者/Shisha) a listen as it’s one of my favorites of all time and is criminally underrated. ★彡

日本語:

はるか遠い日の青空

山火事の胃よりがする

私の心ナイフの撚り

明日若い

草の匂いの中に倒れる

みえただろう

時代が遠いはなく

甘く閉ざされた世界へ

私の心ナイフの撚り

あめる顔を探し*

石にほほをつけて

頭の中から言葉多い払う

どこにも行きはしない

ここにいるだけさ

ただ見るだけ

ただ聞こえる

さよなら昭和と歌ってる私が

ただ見えるだけさ

ただ聞こえる

さよならこんなと歌ってる私が

こんなばかけたいめは*この時期終わりだと

はるか遠い日の青空

山火事の胃よりがする

遠いはなく

甘く閉ざされた世界へ

私の心

Romaji:

Haruka tōi hi no aozora

yama kaji no i yori ga suru

watashi no kokoro naifu no yori

ashita wakai

kusa no nioi no naka ni taoreru

mietadarou

jidai ga tōi wanaku

amaku tozasareta sekai e

watashi no kokoro naifu no yori

ameru kao wo sagashi

ishi ni hoho wo tsukete

atama no naka kara kotoba ōi harau

dokoni mo iki wa shinai

koko ni iru dake sa

tada mirudake

tada kikoeru

sayonara Shōwa to utatteru watashi ga

tada mieru dake sa

tada kikoeru

sayonara kon'na to utatteru watashi ga

kon'na bakagetai me wa kono jiki owaridato

haruka tōi hi no aozora

yama kaji no i yori ga suru

tōi wanaku

amaku tozasareta sekai e

watashi no kokoro

English:

The blue sky of a day far away

My stomach aches like a wildfire

A knife churns in my heart

Tomorrow is young

Collapsing into the smell of grass

You see it don’t you

The era is not far away

To a sweetly confined world

A knife churns in my heart

Looking for a rotting face*

I put my cheek up to a stone

And dispel many words from my head

I’m not going anywhere

I’m just here

I can only look

I can only hear

I sing goodbye to the Showa era

I can only look

I can only hear

I sing goodbye to

This the end if this ridiculous era

The blue sky of a day far away

My stomach aches like a wildfire

It’s not far away

To the sweetly confined world

My heart…

*These lines I’m really not so sure about. Even in the live vs. the recording he seems to be singing something different, but either way it’s hard to make out (T_T). If you think you know what he’s saying instead, lmk!

this is a call into the void but does anyone else think that the “duty call duty is ahaha” line in kaneto juusei’s rusubandenwa is a direct reference to hide’s song beauty & stupid? the pitch is almost identical…… i swear im onto something…..

ROCK AND READ 087 – interview with Kyo - part 1/3

A heteromorphic anatomy tract ~the meaning of the meaningless things~

sukekiyo, another project started in 2013 by Kyo from DIR EN GREY. In 2019 they released the new audio compilation INFINTUM, toured, played in Hong Kong, will be holding a countdown live, have already announced a new tour for February next year; even though they do things in their own pace they certainly leave an impression of being very active!

Using this opportunity we will look back at sukekiyo’s path.

How did they start, what has changed in those 6 years, we will discover the whole story.

Velvet Eden - Regret:

Lyric Translation/歌詞

one of my favorite songs off of the double twelve album. it’s such a different vibe from the rest of their songs, love it!!!!

日本語:

私によく似た娘を連れ

あなたの名前を刻んだ十字架

この丘に来た

本当は次の娘などいなかったのね

最後のアリスと知らずに

今日まで生きた

何故なの？

そんな事を 今更聞かされて

残酷だと笑えばいいですか？

もう一度だけ 会えると信じてた

私は泣き虫 昔と同じ

Oh dear my madame

I still love you

最期の嵐の夜には

私が忘れた

おもちゃの指輪を身につけ

眠りについたと

優しすぎる 悲しい嘘だった

逃げた事を 今でも悔やんでる

並木道で振り向いたらきっと

そこにはあなたがまだいたはずと

Romaji:

Anata ni yoku nita kuroshōbi doresu de

Watashi ni yoku nita musume wo tsure

anata no namae wo kizanda jūjika

kono oka ni kita

hontō wa tsugi no musume nado inakatta no ne

saigo no arisu to shirazuni

kyō made ikita

nazenano?

Sonna koto wo imasara kikasarete

zankokuda to waraeba īdesu ka?

Mōichido dake aeru to shinjiteta

Oh dear my madame

I still love you

saigo no arashi no yoru ni wa

watashi ga wasureta

omocha no yubiwa o mi ni tsuke

nemuri ni tsuita to

yasashi sugiru kanashī usodatta

nigeta koto wo ima demo kuyan deru

namikimichi de furimuitara kitto

soko ni wa anata ga mada ita hazu to

English:

In a black rose dress that looks much like yours

With a daughter that looks just like me

With a cross engraved in your name

You came to this hill

In truth, there was no second daughter was there

You lived until today without knowing you were the last Alice

Why is that?

The thing in which I heard of much too late

Is it ok if I should laugh at how cruel it is?

I believed I would meet with you just once more time

I am a crybaby, the same as before

Oh dear my madame

I still love you

On that last stormy night

The toy ring which I had forgotten, you wore

And fell asleep

It was a too gentle of a sad lie

I still regret that I ran away

If I turned around on that tree-lined street

I’m sure you would still be there
