- my favourite song in the morning -

夕やけ子やけの空が落ちてきた yuuyake koyake no sora ga ochitekita 寄り添う影踏み手を振ってさよなら yorisou kage fumi te wo futte sayonara 明日も明後日もずっとこのままで居たいけど ashita mo asatte mo zutto ko no mama de itai kedo

The sunset* sky is falling We step on our shadows snuggled close, waving goodbye although I wanted to stay like this tomorrow, the day after and forever

(sunset: Yuuyake Koyake is a song that plays at 5pm in Japan, signalling that it is time for children to go home after school)

オレンジの回想染みるひとしずくは orenji no kaisou shimiru hitoshizuku wa あどけない横顔に冷たく響いた adokenai yokogao ni tsumetaku hibiita 幼いままではいられないんだと立ち尽くす osanai mama de wa irarenainda to tachi tsukusu

A drop of memory-soaked orange resounded coldly on my childlike face I didn’t want to remain a child any longer, of that I was certain

離れないで hanarenaide 終わらないで owaranaide   わずかに残るその空白 wazuka ni nokoru so no kohaku ここから見える世界　記憶にまざり合う koko kara mieru sekai　kioku ni mazari au

Please don’t leave Please don’t let this end From this sliver of blank space left behind, the world that I can see dissolves into my memories

夕日の逢瀬に蛍が寄り添う yuuhi no ouse ni hotaru ga yorisou カラスが鳴いても時は帰らない karasu ga naitemo toki wa kaeranai もう二度と　戻れない mou nido to　modorenai カラカラ震えた鈴の音 karakara furueta suzu no ne

The fireflies gathered at the setting sun’s rendezvous Time will not rewind even with the crows’ cries It will never return again The sound of a jingling bell

夕やみ小雨にこころを預けて yuuyami kosame ni kokoro wo azukete ぽつりと浮かべた愚かな言葉で potsuri to ukabeta orokana kotoba de もう一度　逢いたいと mou ichido　aitai to 日向に映した夕顔 hinata ni utsushita yuugao

I entrusted my heart to the drizzle at dusk With these stupid words that bubbled out of me, with moonflowers that reflected the sun, I said I wanted to see you again

ひとつ消えてく hitotsu kieteku ひとつ生まれる hitotsu umareru こうして始まる koushite hajimaru そうして終わってく soushite owatteku

One thing disappears, before one thing is born Thusly everything starts, and so everything ends

オレンジから夜になる orenji kara yoru ni naru 朝日はまだ目覚めない asahi wa mada mezamenai か細い午後　灯が燈る kabosoi gogo　hi ga tomoru 夕日の丘 yuuhi no oka 待ち焦がれた machi kogareta

From orange, the sky darkens to night and the morning sun has yet to awaken In the frail afternoon, lights come on A hill lit by the evening sun — I’ve waited so long for this moment

夕やけ子やけに染まって遊んだ yuuyake koyake ni somatte asonda 幼いこころとこころは数える osanai kokoro to kokoro wa kazoeru もう少し　このままで mou sukoshi　ko no mama de 限りあることと知ってた kagari aru koto to shitteta

We soaked in the sunset as we played, counting our childhood hearts Just for a while longer, just like this, we learnt about things that could end

(not so sure about this line)

夕日の逢瀬に蛍が寄り添う yuuhi no ouse ni hotaru ga yorisou カラスが鳴いても時は帰らない karasu ga naitemo toki wa kaeranai もう二度と　戻れない mou nido to　modorenai カラカラ震えた鈴の音 karakara furueta suzu no ne

The fireflies gathered at the setting sun’s rendezvous Time will not rewind even with the crows’ cries It will never return again The sound of a jingling bell

リトルパレード / Little Parade (english lyrics)

Producer: k_dash（けーだっしゅ） (twitter/soundcloud) Illustration: chi@aki (link/twitter)

Not sure how to characterise this song, but I believe it’s about love? Judging from the presence of a ‘you’ and ‘I’. Or it could be one of those ballads that mean many things to many people.

呼吸をやめたよ　ひどく苦しいから iki wo yameta yo　hidoku kurushii kara

I’ve stopped breathing Because it is terribly painful

モノクロの世界　カラフルな痛み monokuro no sekai　karafuru na itami おぼろげに映る　その心にはね oboroge ni utsuru　sono kokoro ni hane 生まれた街人　口ずさむ歌を umareta machi hito　kuchizusamu uta wo なにかに怯えるように笑う nanika ni obieru you ni warau

A monochrome world　Colourful anguish Their faint reflections splash on this heart

People from my hometown, as if frightened by something, laugh at the song I hum (生まれた街: lit. the place where you were born)

君の影 kimi no kage 眩しくて mabushikute 苦しくて kurushikute 今さら　なにを想えばいいの ima sara　nani wo omoebaii no

Your shadow dazzles and it hurts

After all this time, what should I believe? (the connotation’s that it is too late for something)

空っぽな言葉に乗っかって karappo na kotoba ni nokkatte それで心は転がってどこにいく？ sore de kokoro wa korogatte doko ni iku? デジタルな夢現　窓越しのセリフ dejitaru na yume utsutsu　madogoshi no serifu 覚えてリビート oboete ripiito

Riding on empty words Where then will my heart tumble to? A soliloquy passing through the window of a digital hypnagogia As I remember the lines, it repeats —

(soliloquy: here it says ‘セリフ’, literally a ‘line’ as in for a play)

(hypnagogia: the state of being half awake and half asleep)

ふらふら時をさ迷ってく furafura toki wo samayotteku 名前も知らない何かにさらわれて namae mo shiranai nanika ni sarawarete いっそこのまま　いっそこのまま issokonomama　issokonomama いなくなれたらいいのね inakunaretara ii no ne

Wandering about unsteadily Carried off by something whose name I don’t even know Right here, right now, wouldn’t it be better if I disappear?

声も響かない　ひどく懐かしいのに koe mo hibikanai　hidoku natsukashii no ni

I can’t even speak　Despite this terrible nostalgia

白黒の記憶　モノラルなノイズ shirokuro no kioku　monoraru na noizu 形無い物に　心惹かれてた katachi nai mono ni　kokoro hikareteta 愛を覚えた日　夢を失くした日 ai wo oboeta hi　yume wo nakushita hi 少しだけ癒えた淡い夜 sukoshi dake ieta awai yoru 消えていく kiete iku

Black and white memories　Monaural noise My heart was attracted to these shapeless things The day I learnt love　The day I lost my dreams A fleeting night that has barely healed Begins to disappear

(monaural: (of sound reproduction) using only one channel of transmission)

君がいた kimi ga ita 僕がいた boku ga ita 今さら　なにを叫べばいいの ima sara　nani wo sakebebaii no

You were there And I was here After all this time, what should I be shouting?

空っぽなソラから飛び込んだ karappo na sora kara tobikonda けれど地上の境界すらわからない keredo chijou no kyoukai sura wakaranai アナログな幻想　夢まぼろしの涙 anarogu na gensou　yume maboroshi no namida 数えてデリート kazoete deriito

Even as I jump from an empty sky I know nothing, even of the boundary of the earth A dream phantom’s tears in an analogue fantasy As I count them, they delete —

ふらふら時をさ迷ってく furafura toki wo samayotteku 名前も知らない何かにさらわれて namae mo shiranai nanika ni sarawarete 呼吸をやめたよ　呼吸をやめたよ　 iki wo yameta yo　iki wo yameta yo なにも聴こえず溶けていく nani mo kikoezu toketeiku

Wandering about unsteadily Carried off by something whose name I don’t even know I’ve stopped breathing　I’ve stopped breathing Unable to hear anything, I’m melting away

空っぽな言葉に乗っかって karappo na kotoba ni nokkatte それで心は転がってどこにいく？ sore de kokoro wa korogatte doko ni iku? デジタルな夢現　窓越しのセリフ dejitaru na utsutsu　madogoshi no serifu 覚えてリビート oboete ripiito

Riding on empty words Where then will my heart tumble to? A soliloquy passing through the window of a digital hypnagogia　 As I remember the lines, it repeats —

ふらふら時をさ迷ってく furafura toki wo samayotteku 名前も知らない何かにさらわれて namae mo shiranai nanika ni sarawarete いっそこのまま　いっそこのまま issokonomama　issokonomama いなくなれたらいいのね inakunaretara ii no ne

Wandering about unsteadily Carried off by something whose name I don’t even know Right now　Right now Wouldn’t it be better if I disappear?
