Trance Orange translation (English)

Updated translation : New site

Sunday morning, alone, I went out to find myself With a picture book I read the day before yesterday, Into a pretty off¹ world

Out there² begins to turn white One day it started to shine on me I’ve gotta go³ soon,

I boarded the bus with the peeling paint I’m grinning⁴, it’s forced On the right side sways four Hated words, I look⁵, and

Out there begins to turn white One day it started to shine on me I’ve gotta go soon,

“Goodbye.” On top of a building, I Scatter torn photographs, And while I wave my hand and act silly, In an orange hue, I talk to myself⁶

Outside starts to turn white If it started to shine on me one day, I’d have to go soon,

“Goodbye.” From the top of the building, I Scattered torn photographs, And while I waved my hand and acted silly, In an orange hue, I talked to myself

Where I belong Disappeared, like it had been a lie Hated by everyone, I

Will always, forever

Be talking to myself in this orange-colored world

T/N: ¹かなりずれてる - something that's pretty off balance, disjointed, askew, etc.

²外 - usually translated as "outside," but can also represent a more abstract place outside of where the speaker is. It has a connotation of a feeling of separateness or distance.

³行かなきゃ and 行かなくちゃ - both mean the same thing, they're a casual way of saying "have to go."

⁴にやけてて - a colloquialism for "grinning," "smiling," etc., but can also refer to a man acting effeminately and being overly conscious about his clothes/appearance

⁵見て、- a deliberate incomplete sentence instead of a command to look

⁶つぶやく- literally "to mutter, murmur," etc. Coincidentally, this is the word that eventually became used to talk about tweeting on Twitter, so it carries a connotation of talking to oneself
