ME [nico touches the walls]

31Jul11

Japanese->English translation of “Me” by Nico Touches the Walls.

芽 me (buds)

描いてたんだ 土の中
青い色した太陽を
なりふりなどかまわない かまわないから きっと

I was drawing it in the soil
A blue-tinted sun
Appearances of any sort don’t matter to me
Because they don’t matter, surely

生まれ変わるさ何にだって
片道切符の命だもの
深く根を張ってほら 限りない大地の上へ

Everything will be reborn
This fate is a one-way ticket
Plunge your roots in deep, and look!
Across this boundless earth

照らして 儚い今を何よりも
きっと世界は美しい
聴かせて
君が描いた思い通りの日々を
咲かせる物語

Shine
In this fleeting moment
The world is certainly more beautiful than anything
Let me hear
A story that will make bloom
The days you sketched out and lived as you pleased

やがていつかは土の中
還っていくんだ 君も僕も
だから根を張っていたい 限りある命のイメージ

Eventually, someday, you and I both
Will return to the soil
Therefore I want to have my roots plunged in deep
In the image of this limited fate

満たして 儚い今を何よりも
どんな過去より愛おしい
聴かせて
君が描いたかけがえのない夢が
奏でるこのハーモニー

Fill it up
In this fleeting moment
It’s more precious than anything else
Than it ever was in the past
Let me hear
This harmony played
By the irreplaceable dreams you drew

目が覚めてしまえば 消えるかもしれないんだ
今をどうか照らして

They may disappear when you open your eyes
Now, please shine

風の声も 空が流す涙も
分かち合うほど素晴らしい
君が胸に満たしたかけがえのない夢が
いま芽を出したんだ

In the voice of the wind and the tears shed by the sky
The more we share the more wonderful it is
The irreplaceable dreams with which you filled your heart
Have now put forth buds

照らして 君が描いた思い通りの日々を
その物語に咲いたのは君の名の花

Shine
On every day you sketched out and lived as you pleased
What bloomed inside that story is a flower that bears your name
