Lyrics

ここんとこずっと満たされない kokon toko zutto mitasarenai

依然、創作も振るわない izen, sousaku mo furuwanai

ここが居場所なんて信じない koko ga ibasho nante shinjinai

朝はまだ来ない asa wa mada konai

綴る言葉は毒になれども薬にはならない tsuzuru kotoba wa doku ni naredo mo kusuri ni wa naranai

「続ける意味がない」 "tsuzukeru imi ga nai"

��らなかった日はない yogira nakatta hi wa nai

流行りの音楽が聴けない hayari no ongaku ga kikenai

比べて卑下してが止まない kurabete higeshite ga yamanai

「多分、僕はもう音楽が好きじゃない」 "tabun, boku wa mou ongaku ga suki janai"

それを吐き出す術は音楽しか知らない sore o hakidasu sube wa ongaku shika shiranai

だから dakara

またこうして歌に縋って愚かな"毒"を吐いた mata koushite uta ni sugatte orokana "doku" o haita

月夜の下、尚更無様だ tsuki yo no shita, naosara buzama da

どんな言葉を歌ったらこんな僕とさよならできんだ donna kotoba o utattara konna boku to sayonara dekinda

答えが出るまで止まぬ独白 kotae ga deru made yamanu dokuhaku

悩みに贅沢もクソもない nayami ni zeitaku mo kuso mo nai

当事者以外知り得ない傷の痛みに優劣はない toujisha igai shirienai kizu no itami ni yuuretsu wa nai

暗示は絶え間ない anji wa taemanai

日陰じゃ涙は乾かない higake ja namida wa kawakanai

涙じゃ花なんて芽吹かない namida ja hana nante mebukanai

「明かりの射さない人生に価値はない」 "akari no sasanai jinsei ni kachi wa nai"

そんなのは信じない sonna no wa shinjinai

信じていいわけない shinjite ii wakenai

だけど dakedo

僕が歌った歌でくらいは主役で在りたかった boku ga utatta uta de kurai wa shuyaku de aritakatta

スポットライトは誘蛾灯でいいから supotto raito wa yuugatou de ii kara

かつて純粋を極めた僕は焦燥の餌になった katsute junsui o kiwameta boku wa shousou no esa ni natta

綺麗な言葉も今や吐瀉物 kirei na kotoba mo ima ya tosha butsu

時に創作は自傷行為 toki ni sousaku wa jishoukou'i

と同時に自分を定義するただ一つの武器 to douji ni jibun o teigi suru datta hitotsu no buki

諸刃の剣でこれを書いてる moroba no tsurugi de kore o kaiteru

「まだだ、まだだ」って息も絶え絶え "mada da, mada da" tte iki mo tae tae

なのに nano ni

またこうして傷を抉って恥ずべき自分を吐いた mata koushite kizu o egutte hazubeki jibun o haita

それが僕の価値になるのなら sore ga boku no kachi ni naru no nara

どんな醜態晒しても歌い続けるほかないんだろうな donna shuutai sarashite mo utai tsuzukeru hoka nai ndarou na

これは死ぬまで続く束縛 kore wa shinu made tsuzuku sokubaku

答えが出るまで止まぬ独白 kotae ga deru made yamanu dokuhaku

これを聴いてくれたあなたが kore o kiite kureta anata ga

まだ純粋なあなたが mada junsui na anata ga

僕みたいにならぬようにと願って止まない boku mitai ni naranu you ni to negatte yamanai

The Clouds and The Ghost (雲と幽霊) - Lyrics and English Translation

ヨルシカ - 雲と幽霊 / Yorushika - Kumo to Yuurei (The Clouds and the Ghost ) Lyrics, composition, arrangement: n-buna/  ナブナ Vocal: suis From the album「夏草が邪魔をする」/ “The Summer Grass Is Getting in My Way” Translation by EJ/Bluepenguin (https://ejtranslations.wordpress.com/)

The last song of the album! With this, the whole album is finally translated! Yay! This one is connected to “Say it.”, from the perspective of the other person. This one literally made me bawl, just try listening to the song while reading the lyrics after watching “Say it.” The name “Yorushika” comes from this song, according to this interview. It’s from this line in particular

夜しかもう眠れずに yoru shika mou nemurezu ni Now at night I only sleep

This song is my #1 favorite song of the album. It’s so good, and I don’t think n-buna has made something like this before. It’s a slow and serene song with ambient sounds like water drops and telephone ringings incorporated in it. You can hear n-buna’s signature guitar in the chorus but it doesn’t detract from the “different” feel of the song at all. It’s there to remind you that this is still a n-buna song, even with the different tone and style. A perfect song to end the album,  in my opinion. Ah, I’m making this post while listening to the song and I feel like crying again.... 

幽霊になった僕は、明日遠くの君を見に行くんだ その後はどうしよう きっと君には言えない yuurei ni natta boku wa, asu tooku no kimi o mi ni yuku n’da sono ato wa dou shiyou kitto kimi ni wa ienai I’ve become a ghost, and tomorrow I’ll go to see you, far away where you are And then what shall I do? I definitely can’t tell you that

幽霊になった僕は、夏の終わり方を見に行くんだ 六���の地球で　浅い木陰のバス停で yuurei ni natta boku wa natsu no owarikata o mi ni yuku n’da rokujou no chikyuu de asai kokage no BASUtei de I’ve become a ghost, and I’m going to see the way the summer ends On this studio-apartment-sized earth*, at a bus stop in the pale shadows of the trees

夜に涼む君の手　誘蛾灯に沿って石を蹴った 街の薄明かりが揺れている yoru ni suzumu kimi no te yuugatou ni sotte ishi o ketta machi no usuakari ga yurete iru You kicked pebbles alongside the light trap** in the cool night air The faint lights of the town waver

何も見えなくたって 何も言わなくたって 誰も気付かなくたって それでもわかるから nani mo mienakutatte nani mo iwanakutatte daremo kidzukanakutatte sore demo wakaru kara Because even without seeing anything, Even without saying anything, Even without anyone noticing, I still know

君と座って　バス停見上げた空が青いことしかわからずに kimi to suwatte basutei miageta sora ga aoi koto shika wakarazu ni I only know that at the bus stop where I was sitting with you, the sky I looked up at was blue

雲が遠いね　ねぇ 夜の雲が高いこと、本当不思議だよ kumo ga tooi ne nee yoru no kumo ga takai koto, hontou fushigi da yo The clouds are far away, see? See? It really is unbelievable that the clouds at night are so high

だからさ、もういいんだよ dakara sa, mou ii n’da yo So you see, it’s all right now

幽霊になった僕は、あの頃の景色を見に行くんだ 遠い街の海辺　子供のとき見た露店街 yuurei ni natta boku wa, ano koro no keshiki o mi ni yuku n’da tooi machi no umibe kodomo no toki mita rotengai I’ve become a ghost, and I’m going to see places from my past The beach in a distant town, the shopping stalls I saw as a child

歩き疲れた脚でそこらのベンチでバスを待って その後はどうしよう 何で歩いてたんだろう arukitsukareta ashi de sokora no BENCHI de BASU o matte sono ato wa dou shiyou nande aruite’ta n’darou With feet tired from walking, I’ll sit on a bench nearby to wait for the bus And then what shall I do? Why was I walking?

何も知らなくたって 何も聞けなくたって いつか君が忘れても それでも見ているから nani mo shiranakutatte nani mo kikenakutatte itsuka kimi ga wasurete mo sore demo mite iru kara Even if someday you forget Without knowing anything Without hearing anything Even so, I’ll be watching you

夏の陰に座って　入道雲を眺めるだけでどこか苦しくて 空が高いよ　ねぇ natsu no kage ni suwatte nyuudougumo o nagameru dake de dokoka kurushikute sora ga takai yo nee Just sitting in the summer shadows, staring at the storm clouds, is somehow painful The sky is so high

このままずっと遠くに行けたらいいのにな 夜しかもう眠れずに kono mama zutto tooku ni iketara ii no ni na yoru shika mou nemurezu ni I wish I could go far away just like this Now at night I only sleep

君と座って　バス停見上げた空が青いことしかわからずに kimi to suwatte BASUtei miageta sora ga aoi koto shika wakarazu ni I only know that at the bus stop where I was sitting with you, the sky I looked up at was blue

雲が遠いね　ねぇ 夜の雲が高いこと、本当不思議だよ kumo ga tooi ne nee yoru no kumo ga takai koto, hontou fushigi da yo The clouds are far away, see? See? It really is unbelievable that the clouds at night are so high

だからさ、だからさ 君もさ、もういいんだよ dakara sa, dakara sa kimi mo sa, mou ii n’da yo So you see, so you see Even for you, it’s all right now

幽霊になった僕は、明日遠くの 君を見に行くんだ　その後はどうだろう きっと君には見えない yuurei ni natta boku wa, asu tooku no kimi o mi ni yuku n’da sono ato wa dou darou kitto kimi ni wa mienai I’ve become a ghost, and tomorrow I’ll go to see you, far away where you are And then I wonder what I’ll do I definitely won’t be able to see you

Notes:

[*] Literally “six-tatami-mat-sized earth”–the number of tatami mats it takes or would take to cover the floor is an alternate measure of room/apartment size in Japan, used in apartment listings and such. Six tatami mats is not terribly large.

[**] A light that attracts nocturnal bugs and, in commercial uses, generally kills them. Where I grew up we called these “bug zappers,” but that’s not terribly poetic, is it?

Kono Mune no Barcode (“My Heart’s Barcode”)

“The fashion mag I read while standing, and an unsweetened can of coffee. Beep, beep, beep, each time the scanner beeps, it’s as if it’s reading my love for you too.”

OR: A girl who’s hopelessly in love with a classmate she can’t bring herself to confess to makes a midnight run to the convenience store.

nemurenakute yoru no KONBINI e CHARI de okonatta aoi yuugatou

Unable to sleep, I rode my bike through the night To the convenience store, Like a giant blue bug light

hoshii mono wa nani mo nai kuse ni moshi kashitara aeru kamo ne…

There isn’t even Anything I want But just maybe, I might be able to see you…

The odds of coincidentally running into You, the classmate that lives nearby I miss you

They scan my love At the cash-register barcode The fashion mag I read while standing, And an unsweetened can of coffee Beep, beep, beep, each time the scanner beeps It’s as if it’s reading My love for you too

FAMIRESU nara mukai ni aru kedo KAPPURUtachi UZAIdake da yo ne

If I wanted a family-style diner There’s one open across the street But the couples there are only annoying

KONBINI nara fushizen ja nai wa hitorikiri mo jikan tsubusu no mo…

It’s not weird If I’m at the convenience store And I can kill time here Even if I’m alone…

It’s gotten so bad I can’t tell you how I feel I casually realize Fall in love

BAAKOODO ga SUKYAN dekizu te de uchinaoshita SUTOREETO ni tsutawaranai tejun ga setsunai semete    bouhan KAMERA utsushiteite hoshii watashi ga kita koto

They couldn’t scan the barcode And typed in the code again by hand The message couldn’t go straight through The process is heartbreaking I want for at least The security cam To record the fact I was here

The  many barcode lines Engraved On my heart, Are hard to say…

雲と幽霊 / Clouds and a Ghost (english lyrics)

By the 2-person band Yorushika (ヨルシカ) (website) Lyrics, music: n-buna Vocals: suis MV: ぽぷりか

One of those songs where the video adds so much more to the story.

Also: This is an answer song to 言って / Say It, from the boy’s perspective. Footnotes at the bottom!

幽霊になった僕は、明日遠くの君を見に行くんだ yuurei ni natta boku wa, asu tooku no kimi wo mi ni ikunda その後はどうしよう so no ato wa dou shiyou きっと君には言えない kitto kimi ni wa ienai

I, who have become a ghost, am going on a journey tomorrow to see the far-away you What should I do after that? I definitely can’t tell you

幽霊になった僕は、夏の終わり方を見に行くんだ yuurei ni natta boku wa, natsu no owarigata wo mi ni ikunda 六畳の地球で　浅い木陰のバス停で rokujyou no chikyuu de　asai kokage no basutei de 夜に涼む君の手　誘蛾灯に沿って石を蹴った yoru ni suzumu kimi no te　yuugatou ni sotte ishi wo ketta 街の薄明かりが揺れている machi no usuakari ga yureteiru

I, who have become a ghost, travelled to see the end of summer In the small world of a flat* At a bus stop, lightly shaded by trees Your hands, as we rested in the cool of the night Following the light traps**, we kicked stones and the faint glow of the town lights was quivering

(*六畳 : lit. six mats, where 畳 is a unit used to convey the size of an apartment. One 畳 is the standard size of a tatami mat. So six of them is pretty small for a flat indeed.) (**誘蛾灯: light traps used for exterminating insects in summer)

何も見えなくたって nani mo mienakuta tte 何も言わなくたって nani mo iwanakuta tte 誰も気付かなくたって dare mo kizukanakuta tte それでもわかるから sore demo wakaru kara

Even if you can’t see anything, even if you won’t say anything, even if no one notices, even then, I understand

君と座って　バス停見上げた空が青いことしかわからずに kimi to suwatte　basutei miageta sora ga aoi koto shika wakarazu ni 雲が遠いね　ねぇ kumo ga tooi ne　nee 夜の雲が高いこと、本当不思議だよ yoru no kumo ga takai koto, hontou fushigi da yo

Sitting together with you, knowing nothing more than the blue sky we saw from the bus stop The clouds are far away, aren’t they? It’s a real mystery how the clouds at night are so high up

だからさ、もういいんだよ dakara sa, mou iindayo

That’s why, it’s really alright now^

幽霊になった僕は、あの頃の景色を見に行くんだ yuurei ni natta boku wa, a no koro no keshiki wo mi ni ikunda 遠い街の海辺　子供のとき見た露店街 tooi machi no umibe　kodomo no toki mita rotengai 歩き疲れた脚でそこらのベンチでバスを待って aruki tsukareta ashi de sokora no benchi de basu wo matte その後はどうしよう so no ato wa dou shiyou 何で歩いてたんだろう nande aruitetan darou

I, who have become a ghost, travelled to see the scenery from that time Beaches of far-away towns The open-air shopping streets I saw as a child Legs tired from walking, I sat on the benches over there, waiting for the bus What should I do next? Why am I walking so far, I wonder?

何も知らなくたって nani mo shiranakuta tte 何も聞けなくたって nani mo kikenakuta tte いつか君が忘れても itsuka kimi ga wasurete mo それでも見ているから sore demo miteiru kara

Even if I know nothing, even if I can’t hear anything, even if someday, I forget you — even then, I’ll watch over you and that's why

夏の陰に座って　入道雲を眺めるだけでどこか苦しくて natsu no kage ni suwatte　nyuudougumo wo nagameru dake de doko ka kurushikute 空が高いよ　ねぇ sora ga takai yo　nee このままずっと遠くに行けたらいいのにな ko no mama zutto tooku ni iketara ii no ni na 夜しかもう眠れずに yoru shika mou nemurezu ni

Sitting in the the tail end of summer, just by looking at thunderstorms, pain wells up somewhere within me The sky is really high, you know? Hey Even though I’d like it better if I could go far, far away, just like that Now, I’m only able to sleep at night

君と座って　バス停見上げた空が青いことしかわからずに kimi to suwatte　basutei miageta sora ga aoi koto shika wakarazu ni 雲が遠いね　ねぇ kumo ga tooi ne　nee 夜の雲が高いこと、本当不思議だよ yoru no kumo ga takai koto, hontou fushigi da yo

Sitting together with you, knowing nothing more than the blue sky we saw from the bus stop The clouds are far away, aren’t they? It’s a real mystery how the clouds at night are so high up

だからさ、だからさ dakara sa, dakara sa 君もさ、もういいんだよ kimi mo sa, mou iinda yo

That's why, that's why — for you too, it’s really alright now^ (^to forget about me)

幽霊になった僕は、明日遠くの君を見に行くんだ yuurei ni natta boku wa, asu tooku no kimi wo mi ni ikunda その後はどうだろう so no ato wa dou darou きっと君には見えない kitto kimi wa mienai

I, who have become a ghost, am going on a journey tomorrow to see the far-away you What will it be like after that? I definitely won’t be seen by you

Footnotes

Some observations from the video: (*Some of these are translated off the Japanese Youtube comments, and I thought I’d share them here too)

The tree could represent how his memories are returning

The mango tree appears 3 times — the first time, the boy stops to look at it, and when it’s behind him, he turns around and keeps looking at it as he walks. Also, right before this, you see a plate with a mango returning back to it in the foreground.

As a ghost, the boy is in a different plane of reality

Towards the end of the song, when the pictures show places in Japan, the pedestrian lane on the floor is reflected in the sky

The boy looks up at the sky during the lines ‘even if no one notices’ and ‘for you too, it’s really alright now’ — perhaps emphasising that he’s trying to convey these to the girl

There are times when the boy leaves the frame — this could mean him visiting the real world

At the end, the boy sits with the girl at the bus stop

In the boy’s reality, this could be when the boy sits on a white line to gaze at the summer sky

At the very end of the song, the girl looks up slightly — she could have felt his presence
