The True Truth

                                         怖くて痛くて惨めでも大事で　隠して鍵かけて　忘れたふりして                                    守ってきた　ほんとのほんとが　二人分でずっと　呼び合っているのに

Bump of Chicken - 大我慢大会

大我慢大会 The Big Endurance Convention

作詞：Motoo Fujiwara 作曲：Motoo Fujiwara

English Translations by hontonohonto @ tumblr

平気な顔してみたって　あんまり上手じゃないみたい 元気を出すのは誰だ　知らんぷりしてもしょうがない I tried to put up a calm face   But I'm apparently not very good at it Who's going to cheer up?  It can't be helped if they pretend they don't know

皆には見えていないようで　実はばればれのような気も 考えないようにして　誤魔化せないなら無視して It doesn't seem like anyone's noticed   But sometimes I feel like everyone already knows I try not to think about it   If they don't buy it I just ignore them

痩せ我慢　作り笑い　外だろうと中だろうと 心を騙さなきゃ　保てない意地で立っている Pretending I’m okay  Wearing a fake smile  Whether it's on the outside or the inside I have to deceive my heart   while standing on an a wavering will

誰の声も届かないほど　深い場所で生まれた呼吸 ひとりぼっちのこの手を　引っ張って連れていくよ　この手で A breath that was born so far away   It can't be heard by anyone With my own hands   I'll reach out to those solitary hands, pull them right up and take them with me

呆れるくらい自問自答　やっぱり答えはないみたい おそらくそんなことはない　答えに見つかりたくない I question myself a lot   But I guess there's really no answer But I'm afraid that's not the case   I don't want to be found out by the answer

平気な顔してみたって　普通に扱われると なんだか納得できない　知らんぷりされたわけじゃない I tried to put up a calm face   But when I am treated normally I somehow can't accept it    It's not like they're pretending they don't know

わがまま　肥大した自意識がだだ漏れ そんなやつ馬鹿にしつつ　鏡見たような気分 When someone's selfishness and enlarged self-consciousness leaks out We make fun of those people   But it also feels like looking at a mirror

同じものを持っていなくても　同じように出来やしなくても 今ここにいるって事　ここにいる人に　届いて Even if you don't have the same things   Even if you can't do things the same way If you are here right now   then let it reach that person

元気を出すのは誰だ　最後笑ったのいつだ 涙の意味ってなんだ　考える価値などないか Who's going to cheer up?  When was the last time you smiled? What are these tears for?   Is it worth thinking about?

大声出すのは誰だ　最後叫んだのいつだ 忘れた意味ってなんだ　思い出す価値ってなんだ Who's going to let out a big voice?   When was the last time you screamed? What does it mean to forget?   Is it worth remembering?

まともな奴ってどこだ　普通の人って誰だ 隣にいるのは僕だ　隣にいるのも君だ Where is that decent person?   Who is that normal person? I'm the one you're beside with   You're also beside me

次に笑うのはいつだ　次に叫ぶのはいつだ 大声出すのは誰だ　元気になるのは誰だ When are you smiling next?   When are you screaming next? Who let out that big voice?   I'm the one who's going to cheer up

誰の声も届かないほど　深い場所で生まれた呼吸 ひとりぼっちのその手を　引っ張って連れていくよ　この手で A breath that was born so far away   It can't be heard by anyone With my own hands   I'll pull those solitary hands right up and take them with me

同じものを持っていなくても　同じように出来やしなくても 今ここで出会えたと　もう勝手に思うから Even if you don't have the same things   Even if you can't do things the same way If we've met right here right now   Then I'll just think as I please

臆病なこの手を　引っ張って連れていくよ　そこまで 届いて　この手で With my own hands   I'll pull those cowardly hands right up and take them with me I'll make it reach   All the way there

素敵なライブをあるがとうございます！✨❤️

Bump of Chicken - 宝石になった日

宝石になった日  Days that have become Jewels 

作詞：籐原基央

作曲：籐原基央

English Translations by hontonohonto @ tumblr

夕立が屋根を叩いた唄　窓の外で世界を洗った 掌にはなんにもない　ただなんとなく眺めて何分 The song made from evening showers hitting the rooftop    Cleaning the world from outside my windows I don't have anything in the palm of hands   I'm just somehow staring out

君は夜の空を切り裂いて　僕を照らし出した稲妻 あまりにも強く輝き　瞬きの中に消えていった You ripped the night sky in half   You lit me up like a flash of lightning It was a light so bright   It disappeared in a blink of an eye

あとどれくらいしたら普通に戻るんだろう 時計の音に運ばれていく How long before everything returns to normal I'm being carried away with each tick of a clock

あの温もりが　何度も聴いた声が　君がいた事が　宝石になった日 忘れたように　笑っていても　涙越えても　ずっと夢に見る That warmth   The voice I've heard so many times   When you were with me   are days that have become jewels Even if I smile  Like I've forgotten  Even if I've overcome my tears   I'll always see you in my dreams

太陽は何も知らない顔　完璧な朝を連れてくる 丸めた背中で隠して　冴えない顔　余計なお世話 The sun looks like it doesn't know anything  It just perfectly brings forth mornings With a disheartened expression, I hid with my back curled thinking how unnecessary it was    

出来る事はあんまりないけど　全くないわけでもないから 全自動で続く日常をなんとなく　でも止めないよ There's not much I can do  But it's not completely nothing I'll somehow live everyday in autopilot  But I won't stop

出来るだけ先の未来まで見届けるよ 出来るだけ先に運んでいくよ I'll see to it that I'm doing what I can until the the days to come I'll carry it as far as I am able to

こんなに寂しいから　大丈夫だと思う   時間に負けない　寂しさがあるから 振り返らないから　見ていてほしい　強くはないけど　弱くもないから If I'm feeling this lonely   Then I'm probably fine   I won't lose to time   Because I have my loneliness I can't look back so please watch me  I'm not that strong but I'm not that weak either

瞬きの中　消えた稲妻　雨が流した　君の足跡 瞬きの中　掌の下　言葉の隙間　残る君の足跡 That lightning that disappeared in a blink of an eye   The rain that’s washing away your footsteps In the blink of an eye  From the bottom of my palms  In the crevices of my words   Remains your footsteps

増えていく　君の知らない世界　増えていく　君を知らない世界 君の知っている僕は　会いたいよ The world you don't know of is going to get bigger   The world you don't know of is going to get bigger   I want to meet again the me who knows you

ひとりじゃないとか　思えない日もある   やっぱり大きな　寂しさがあるから 応えがなくても　名前を呼ぶよ　空気を撫でたよ　君の形に There will be times  When I am unable to think I'm not alone   Because there is this huge sadness Even if there won't be an answer  I'll call your name  I'll caress the wind  as if you were right there

あの温もりが　何度も聴いた声が　君がいた事が　宝石になった日 忘れないから　笑っていける　涙越えても　ずっと君といる That warmth   The voice I've heard so many times   When you were with me   are days that have become jewels Because I can't forget   I can go on smiling  Even if I've overcome my tears  I'm still with you

君がいた事が　宝石になった日 When you were with me   are days that have become jewels

Cried so much to this song. When I first listened to this, I thought it was a breakup song, but when I actually read the lyrics, I just broke down in tears. Haha. 

I can kind of see why some people dislike the PV. They could have pulled out more feels from this song with a more meaningful video, but it came off as like a promotion of their concert instead (which they didn’t really need??). 

[hontonohonto]

I’m not going to make an extensive post about their 20th anniversary live. But so apparently it’s been 20 years since they first stood on a stage to perform. Fuji-kun’s speech at the very end made me tear up. And it was hilarious how he said that he was sure some fans probably stayed up all night listening to the new album thinking they were gonna perform songs from it (they didn’t, just Butterfly) and I was like HOW DID YOU KNOWWWW? XD

Bump of Chicken - Butterfly

Butterfly

作詞：Motoo Fujiwara 作曲：Motoo Fujiwara

English Translations by hontonohonto @ tumblr

誰にも聞こえない悲鳴が　内側で響く 気付かないふりした人が　気付かれるのを待っている Everyone has that silent scream that echoes within People who pretend not to notice    Is waiting for others to notice for them

いつか知った何かの言葉　重い鎧のように この体を守るあまりに　動きを鈍くした Words I've known from somewhere    Like heavy armor Protects this body so much    It slows it down

光らなくなった靴の事　忘れてしまった唄の事 失くさないで運んでいく　やり方はないと決めている These shoes that never shone    That song I've forgotten I'll carry them without losing them    There's definitely no right way of doing it though

誰にも聞こえない悲鳴が　内側で響く ため息　胸に手を当てさせたのは　誰だろう Everyone has that silent scream that echoes from within Who was it    that let out a sigh    and placed their hands against their chest?

明日生まれ変わったって　結局は自分の生まれ変わり 全部嫌いなままで　愛されたがった　量産型 この心　自分のもの　世界をどうにでも作り変える どういじればどうなるか　本当は　ちゃんと　知っている　ずっと If I were to be reborn tomorrow    It would just be a reincarnation of myself Everything I hate would still be there    Another "me" who yearns for love    a mass production of it This heart belongs to no one by me    no matter how the world remakes it No matter how much it is tampered with    But I've already known that    all along  

誰かの掲げた旗を　目印にして 大人しく歩くけど　作った旗も隠している I'm always making a milepost of someone else's raised flag I'm walking obediently    while hiding the flag I’ve created

このまま終わるものだって　なんとなく悟り 笑って歩くけど　作った旗が捨てられない I'm able to somehow take in    even the things that are about to end I laugh as I walk    but I can never throw my flag away

光らなくなった靴の光　忘れてしまった唄の唄 失くさないで運んでいく　やり方を上手に出来ている The shine of those shoes that never shone   A song about that song I've forgotten I'll carry them without losing them   I've already done it the right way

涙は君に羽根をもらって　キラキラ喜んで　飛んだ踊った あまりにも綺麗だから　愛されなかった　量産型 悲しいほど強い魂　どれだけ憎んでも消えない　消せない 何よりも綺麗な事　本当は　もっと　知っている　ずっと Those tears gave you wings  sparkling happily    it flew and danced It was so beautiful   that you couldn't love    a mass production of it It has such a strong spirit that it's sad    no matter how much you hate it, it won't disappear    You can't make it   And the truth is    you've known what's most beautiful    all this time

涙は君に羽根をもらって　キラキラ喜んで　飛んだ踊った 消えてしまう最後まで　命を歌った　量産型 その心　自分のもの　君が見たものから生まれてゆく 何よりも綺麗な事　本当は　もっと　知っている　ずっと Those tears gave you wings  sparkling happily    it flew and danced Until that moment before it disappears    it sang of life    a mass production of it That heart is yours alone    It’s born from all the things you've seen And the truth is    you've known what's most beautiful    all this time I am in love with this song. Along with the rest of their songs on their new album. Can’t wait to translate the rest! <3

Bump of Chicken - 66号線

66号線 Route 66

作詞：籐原基央 作曲：籐原基央

English Translations by hontonohonto @ tumblr 

聞かなきゃいけない話が 全く頭に入らないのは 愛されたくて 必死だから There's something important I need to listen to   but it doesn't quite stick Because I'm desperate   to be loved

申し訳ない事だけど どうする事も出来ません あなたが聞けという横で 僕はこれを書いてる I'm really sorry about this   but it's out of my hands But by wanting you to listen   I am currently writing this song

66 号線の途中 蓋を開けちゃって ごめんね ああ だけどおかげで やっと見付けた On the way to route 66   I apologize for opening this lid up Aa, but it's thanks to that   that I was able to find it

僕の知らない記憶に襲われて 泣いちゃった大切な人 近くにいられて 嬉しかった It struck on a part of my memory I didn't know I had   A person important to me, crying I was happy   just by being able to be with you

肩に溢してくれた 涙で出来た 音符を繋いで 盾を作ろう Let's build a shield made out of musical notes    fastened by those tears that fell on my shoulders

声を無くしたら僕じゃなくなる それでも好きだと言ってくれますか ただ一言だけ誉めてください それだけで全てを信じる If I lose my voice I'll no longer be me   Even then, would you still say you love me? Just praise me with a single word   And I'll believe everything

こいつにはなんにも敵わないなって 笑いながらさ 実は結構 傷付くんだぜ Jokingly telling me   I won't match up to the others Actually   Really hurt

勝負なんかしたくない 本当に嫌われるの恐い あなたが笑うのなら なんだって歌う I don't want to complete   Because I'm afraid of being disliked But if it will make you smile   I'll sing anything

いつか教えてくれた 言葉で出来た 音符を鍛えて 剣にしたよ I forged a sword out of musical notes   from words that you will someday teach me

僕を無くしてもあなたでいられる それでも離れずいてくれますか ただその掌で撫でてください それだけで心を守れる Even without me, you can still be you   Even then, would you stay by me? Please acknowledge me with those hands of yours   Just by that, I'll be able to protect my heart

ワクワクだとかドキドキだとか あなたとしか分けられない様に 出会う前から育った 会いたかった Feelings of excitement and the throbbing of my heart   Feelings I can't differentiate when I'm with you Feelings that I've grown up with even before I met you   I wanted to see you

僕にだってきっとあなたを救える 今でも好きだと言ってくれますか あなたを無くしても僕は生きていく それでも信じていてくれますか Even someone like me can save you   Would you still say you love me now? Even without you I can continue on living   Even then, would you still continue believing in me?

ただこの事だけ疑わないでね それだけで声が出せたんだ 立てたんだ 歌えたんだ Please doubt anything but this   Just from that I was able to let out a voice I was able to stand up   I was able to sing

聞かなきゃいけない話が 全く頭に入らないのは 役立ちたくて 必死だから There's something important I need to listen to   But it doesn't quite stick Because I'm desperate   to be useful

僕が見付けるまで生きてくれて 見付けてくれて ありがとう あなたが選んだ世界に こんな唄が出来たよ For having lived until you've found me   and for actually finding me   Thank you A song like this was made   For you who chose to exist in this world   This song played randomly on my playlist and I started becoming curious as to what it was about so I decided to translate it. I couldn’t make any sense of it until I looked this song up in google. This song was apparently written for MORさん, their producer. 66 is MOR’s favorite number. The number also appeared in their “Guild” PV. Huhu, they are the sweetest. <3

Bump of Chicken - Hello, World!

Hello, World!

作詞：藤原基央 作曲：藤原基央

English Translations by hontonohonto @ tumblr

扉開けば　捻れた昼の夜 昨日どうやって帰った　体だけが確か おはよう　これからまた迷子の続き 見慣れた知らない　景色の中で When I open the door    It’s the twisted night of midday How did I get home yesterday?   Only my body is for certain Good morning   Today is a continuation of getting lost Inside an unfamiliar scenery I’m used to seeing

もう駄目って思ってから　わりと何だかやれている 死にきらないくらいに丈夫　何かちょっと恥ずかしい やるべきことは　忘れていても解る そうしないと　とても苦しいから When I started thinking I couldn’t do it any longer    I end up doing fine I’m durable enough that I’m never done dying   It’s kind of embarrassing I know what I have to do    Even if I forget it Because if I don’t   It’s unbearably painful

顔を上げて　黒い目の人 君が見たから　光は生まれた Raise your head   You with the black eyes It’s because you’ve seen it   That the light was born

選んだ色で塗った　世界に囲まれて 選べない傷の意味はどこだろう ご自分だけがヒーロー　世界の真ん中で 終わるまで出突っ張り　ステージの上 どうしよう　空っぽのふりも出来ない Surrounded by a world   You painted with a color you chose What is the purpose of the wounds we didn’t choose? Only you, yourself, is the hero    In the center of the world Firmly standing on the stage   Until the very end What am I going to do?   I can’t even pretend I’m empty

ハロー　どうも　僕はここ ハロー　どうも　僕はここ Hello there   I’m right here Hello there   I’m right here

覚えてしまった感覚　思い出とは違う類 もっと涙の側にあって　いつも心臓掴まれていて 充分理解出来ている　ずっとそれと一緒 そうじゃないと　何も見えないから I remembered a feeling   a different sort of memory It’s something closer to tears   Something that keeps seizing my heart I’ve understood it enough   I’m always together with it Because if I don’t     I won’t be able to see anything

息を繋ぐ　生きる強い人 止まる心を　引き摺って連れてきた Keep breathing  You powerful person who has life You who has kept dragging along   your unmoving heart

塞いだ耳で聴いた　虹の様なメロディー 砕けない思いが内側で歌う 隠れていたってヒーロー　守るものがある 恐いのは　それほど気付いているから Upon hearing that rainbow colored melody with closed ears Unbroken feelings begin to sing from the inside No matter where you hide, you’re a hero   Because you have something to protect What’s scary is   how aware you are of that fact

扉開けば　捻れた本当の嘘 空っぽのふりのふり　体だけが確か When I open the door   The twisted truth of lies Pretending to pretend to be empty   Only my body is for certain

おはよう　今でもまだ最後の続き 叫ぼう　そこから　どうも　僕はここ Good morning  This moment is still a continuation of the ending Let’s shout out   And from there   Hello   I’m right here

さあ目を開けて　君は強い人 その目が見たから　全ては生まれた Now, open you’re eyes   You are a strong person It’s because those eyes have seen it   Is why everything came to life

選んだ色で塗った　世界に囲まれて 選べない傷の意味はどこだろう ご自分だけがヒーロー　守ったものがある 恐いのは　その価値を知っているから Surrounded by a world   You painted with a color you chose What is the purpose of the wounds we didn’t choose? Only you, yourself, is the hero    Because you’ve protected something What’s scary is   that you know its value

塞いだ耳で聴いた　虹の様なメロディー 砕けない思いが内側で歌う 悲鳴をあげたヒーロー　世界の真ん中で 終わるまで出突っ張り　自分が見ている だからもう　死んだふりも意味ない Upon hearing that rainbow colored melody with closed ears Unbroken feelings begin to sing from the inside The hero let out a scream   In the center of the world Firmly standing until the end   I am looking at myself That’s why   I’ve lost reason to pretend I’m dead

ハロー　どうも　僕はここ Hello there   I’m right here

This was infinitely easier to translate. Colony was super hard for me. ;_;

Bump of Chicken - コロニー

コロニー Colony 作詞：籐原基央 作曲：籐原基央 

 English Translations by hontonohonto 

何処だろう   今傷んだのは   手を当ててから   わからなくなる 名前のない   涙がこぼれて   体の影が   わからなくなる 世界は蜃気楼   揺らいで消えそう 飲み込まれて   連れて行かれそう 重なった   優しいぬくもりに   しがみついたまま   震えた Where did it break just now?   I become unsure once I touch my hand against it Nameless tears start to fall   I become unsure of my body's shadow The world is a mirage   It's unstable, like it's about to disappear Like it will get swallowed up, like it will take me with it Clinging onto layers of gentle warmth, I tremble 聞こえた命の音は   よく似てるけど違ってて 雨に代わり   何度も肌を叩いた 閉じた目に   真昼の光線   きらきら   無数に散らばった その中の一つと一つ   それだけ The sounds of life I heard   it's similar but not quite Instead of rain    it fell on my skin again and again In my closed eyes   infinite rays of glistening daylight scattered It's in every one of those   That's all there is 見付けたこと   失くしたこと 心が創った街で   起こったこと こんなに今生きてるのに   嘘みたい 手のひらで教えて Having found something   And having lost it What has occurred inside the city my heart made Even though I'm very much alive right now   It feels like a lie Tell me from the palm of your hands 何もない   あんなに抱えてた   形を思う言葉の影 残ってない   弱くても持ってた   道切り拓く   意思の釘 世界は蜃気楼   ハリボテの城 消えそうで消えない生き物 ありがとう あなたは光 それだけが続ける理由 There is nothing   despite holding it so tightly   The shadow of the words I think about There is nothing left   carrying it despite being so weak   These nails of intention   that could pave the way The world is a mirage   A castle made of paper A living thing that seems like it’s disappearing but isn't Thank you  You are my light   That, alone, gives me reason to go on 聞こえた自分の音は 正体を当然知ってて 響いたら 正しい矢になって 戻って来た 卑怯者 鏡の奥に 気付く前に 目を背けた 助けを呼ぶ一つと一つ 狙い合う Hearing the sound you make yourself   you naturally know it's true character Once it echoes   it becomes a righteous arrow   and comes back A coward, looks away from what they see in a mirror, before they realize they are one Calling out for help, one to the other   aiming towards each other 生まれたこと   知らせた声 何処までも遠く   全部を抱きしめた わからないまま   何もないまま 全てを全てで   抱きしめた Having been born   and the voice that let me know No matter how far   I have embraced everything While not knowing anything   While not being anything I have embraced everything with all I have あの時みたいにできるかな 心が創った街で   起こったこと こんなに今   生きてること 触ったら   同じように応えて Can I do it like I did before? What occurred in the city my heart made Being very much alive right now Once I touch it, it answers the same way (Oh yes!) そばにいて   行かないで 微笑んで 頷いて (Oh yes!) Stay with me   Don't go Smile and give me a nod (Oh yes!) そばにいて   行かないで 重なって 音を聞いて (Oh yes!) Stay with me   Don't go Listen to the layers of sound (Oh yes!) そばにいて   行かないで 微笑んで   頷いて (Oh yes!) Stay with me   Don't go Smile and give me a nod (Oh yes!) 今会えた   名前のない   涙に触らせて (Oh yes!) Let me touch the nameless tears I met today 何処だろう   今傷んだのは 何処だろう   あなたは光 Where did it break just now? Where, I wonder?   You are my light
