For Some Reason. - SHISHAMO (Nanto Naku. - なんとなく。) [English Translation]

ENGLISH

I got the feeling that I shouldn’t tell you ‘I like you’ For some reason. As to why I’m feeling like that, I’m sure it’s not just my imagination

I got the feeling that The you I see in front of me right now Isn’t the real you For some reason.

My head is spinning I want to know, but I don’t want to know at all Is it okay if I contact you again? When will we be meeting again? Is this something you’d do with someone you don’t like?

Ah Ah, I’m all sweaty Uh Uh, it’s boiling hot This isn’t, this isn’t The fault of the heat at all It seems like our intertwined fingers are Becoming our hearts I don’t want to let go Just hold on a little longer, a little longer

Your favourite manga And your favourite movies, I watched them all, but I’m sure that you Don’t even know a single one of my favourite things I realised all of that

Ah Ah, as unclear as it is It’s just flowing through my mind The time that I spent with you I want to be able to put a name on it Aah, jeez, it’s just painful now Uh Uh, I’m crying out in my sleep Maybe this is all just a bad dream (It’s all dependent on you)

Ah Ah, I’m all sweaty Uh Uh, it’s boiling hot This isn’t, this isn’t The fault of the heat at all It seems like our intertwined fingers are Becoming our hearts I don’t want to let go Just hold on a little longer Ah Ah, the reason I’m so feverish Ah Ah, the reason I feel so flushed The reason I’m feeling so dizzy Is all your fault

Melted, Summer - yonige (とけた、夏 - Toketa, Natsu) [English Translation]

Find the original Japanese lyrics here

ENGLISH

The perfume I put on yesterday In the morning, when I wake up, there’s no scent of it left What happened yesterday Might have all just been an illusion

If I let my mind wander for even one second My everyday turns into a grey colour I seem to end up not caring about anything And my everyday turns grey

If I forget about myself, that’d be pathetic It’s frightening to imagine my instincts consuming my reason I don’t want to feel humiliated so I’ll forget about you

I know that I’ll see you soon But still, I won’t contact you From now on, I’ve got to add colour to my everyday All by myself

You love me? You’re lying, I don’t need you But still, I love you

Such trivial things are Not worth worrying about Because I found you When I return home, I hear the cicadas chirping This is the first time I’ve heard them this year I didn’t think they’d cry out in Tokyo Noisy mornings like this are kind of wonderful

Staggering in front of the station, I spot a nostalgic face One that I feel like I’ve seen before, or maybe not Inside that old book shop that sort of smells like an old man I bought a novel I’ve always wanted to read

To be honest, You stole my freedom from me, so I want to do something for you To be honest, You stole my freedom from me, so I want to steal your freedom too To be honest, I can’t say something like this, so straightforward To your face

I’ll get out of bed, put out the rubbish Eat breakfast, and go out for the day I’ll do the cleaning, as well as the laundry And in the evenings I’ll return and make sure to go to sleep Even if you’re not here, I’ll keep living I’ll live my life without you I look like such an idiot I’ll end up crying

Carbon Dioxide - SHISHAMO (二酸化炭素 - Nisankatansou) [English Translation]

Find the original Japanese lyrics here

ENGLISH

Whenever you sigh, so deeply like that I can’t bear it, I get so uneasy Have I done something? Do you hate me now? Will you no longer kiss me?

But that’s the sort of bothersome things girls worry about, I know that so much it hurts So I’ll copy you, and sigh too Though I don’t know whether you heard me

I’m sure the reason this room is so hard to breathe in Is the fault of our carbon dioxide I should say what I want, shouldn't I, yet I don’t So instead of that, the breath I let out Makes me feel void inside

Forever, wherever we are, I just want to be beside you I was scared to know that And I was scared for you to know that too This relationship where we only love each other at face-value There’s no ‘meaning’ to it at all

So I stretch a fake smile on my face And I’m sure it won’t come unstuck I’m sure, the two of us Will become hopeless I can’t bear it, I loved you

I’m sure the reason this room is so hard to breathe in Is the fault of our carbon dioxide I should say what I want, shouldn't I, yet I don’t So instead of that, the breath I let out Makes me feel void inside

The beginning and end of ‘us’ That nobody will ever know It’s fine if we’re the only ones that know This secret time between us I could never move myself to hate you Our relationship was half-hearted until the end And somehow, we’ll never realise this for all eternity

All The Things You Cherish - SHISHAMO (君の大事にしてるもの - Kimi no Daiji ni Shiteru Mono) [English Translation

Find the original Japanese lyrics here

ENGLISH

"What's more important, me or that Les Paul?” I’m asking something so bothersome You reply, “Of course it’s you.” Didn’t I kinda make you say that, though

“So, is it okay if I throw your Les Paul from the veranda?” I’m asking something so meaningless “That’s a bit of an extreme joke,” you say, laughing But it’s really not a joke at all

All those things you cherish It’d be nice if you cherished me as much as them You’re making me want to ruin them all

Your leather jacket, and your Jordan 6s That vintage t-shirt as well And that effector signed by that guitarist Those 25 volumes of GTO, too I’ll destroy them all, along with your Les Paul You don’t need anything but me by your side

The things I cherish, It’s you, aah, it’s only you Even so, When it comes to you, well…

The clear sky and that Les Paul Your prized possession, fluttering in the air Your wide eyes follow it Look over here instead Your Adam’s apple that appears when you yell Your big hand that hits me, without you thinking Those things, are what I cherish

Your leather jacket, and your Jordan 6s That vintage t-shirt as well And that effector signed by that guitarist Those 25 volumes of GTO, too I’ll destroy them all, along with your Les Paul Isn’t it fine, if I’m here, with you Your cherished belongings, I can only see them as trash Just say that you don’t need anything else as long as I’m by your side

That busted-up Les Paul Can’t go back to how it was before The only thing left is me feeling hollow Hey, Les Paul It feels like I’ve just met your gaze for the first time

Summer Lover - SHISHAMO (夏の恋人 - Natsu no Koibito) [English Translation]

Find the original Japanese lyrics here

ENGLISH

Today I once again wake up To the sounds of cicadas and you sleeping This sort of relationship will be forever hopeless, I’m sure of it But at least until summer is over You’re surely thinking the same thing? Inside this gloomy and humid room

I want to stay like this forever But I guess I can’t do that So, right now,

I’ll wave goodbye to my summer lover, I’ll be the one saying goodbye Even when the seasons change, and summer comes again The two of us won’t be found together I’m sure I’ll be the one crying, but it’ll be me saying goodbye I’m so hopeless

At that run down convenience store, I buy ice-creams, only using spare change You always choose the cheapest sherbert they have At the park, I watch children on summer break playing for a while And I’ll return to that gloomy and humid room once again I really don’t want to grow up

I want to stay as a child forever But I guess I can’t do that So, right now,

I hear a voice coming from inside of me, pulling me in “Aren’t things fine the way they are now? Stay trapped inside this summer forever, And never have to grow up.”

I’ll wave goodbye to my summer lover, I’ll be the one saying goodbye We were so happy together, but if we stay like this We won’t end up getting anywhere in life I’m sure I’ll be the one crying, I'm saying goodbye I’m so hopeless
