雄之助 「mum」 - 歌詞と英訳

as some of you may have noticed just based on the kind of lyrics i post, i’m not really into songs sung by vocaloids, i always want to find a version sung by a real person—BUT i actually totally love this one! so if you find vocaloid grating or annoying, maybe give this song a try :) anyway, rо̄maji below the cut! 

踵返し夏は溶け 手を引く影 畦道　日暮れの道 優しい笑顔の

the heel-trip summer melts the shadow that leads me by the hand the path between rice fields, the path at twilight of a gentle smile

夢路は遠く果て 遥か唄の底 水に横たう手持ち花火が 今沈んでった 土へと還るみたいに

the end of dreamland is far away in the distant bottom of a song the sparklers lying in the water have just sunk down as if to return to the dirt

残るのなら 記憶だけじゃ嫌だと 沙汰止んだ願い事 石の下に

if you’re going to stay i don’t want it to just be in my memories that’s my abandoned wish underneath a rock

思い出す涙をそっと拭い 舐めた温度は暑いまま いくら泣いても冷めないままで 咲いた台詞が いつまでも浮かぶよ

i softly wiped away my tears of remembering and the temperature i tasted was hot no matter how much i cry they don’t cool down the words that bloomed then will float on forever

神の投げたサイコロ でたらめでたらめ 信じられない 後悔など遅すぎて ねえ、今でも

the dice that god threw lie scattered i can’t believe it it’s too late for regrets see, even now

刹那の通り雨 赤に尽くす空 飛んでいけない千羽の鳥が 措く能わずに さよならを鳴らし続ける

a moment’s passing rain the sky has turned red a thousand birds that can’t fly away are unable to give up and keep crying goodbye

草木で擦りむけるぐらい 傷つきやすくても 虫に怯えて叫んでみても 山彦はもう 声を返さないね

i could skin my knees in the grass even though that’s how fragile i am even though i get spooked by bugs and scream the echo doesn’t return my voice to me anymore

青葉の先へ送り出す 川の光

the light of the river is sent out to the tips of the new leaves

思い出す涙をそっと拭い 舐めた温度は暑いまま いくら泣いても冷めないままで 咲いた台詞が いつまでも浮かぶよ

i softly wiped away my tears of remembering and the temperature i tasted was hot no matter how much i cry they don’t cool down the words that bloomed then will float on forever

それじゃそれじゃまたね ここで会いましょ いつもの道で待ち合わせ

so then, so then, see you later let’s meet here a meeting at our usual street

それじゃそれじゃまたね 必ず来るよ 来年もまたね

so then, so then, see you later i’ll definitely be there i’ll see you next year

ばいばい

bye-bye
