Calmly by Shojoskip - English Lyrics

Calmly

Song and words by Shojoskip
English translation by me


It's always the same
Dyed in blue
A distant town
Covered in dust
Pretending to be tough
An evil wind

At the street corner
I suddenly found
A sort of miracle

This isn't it
This isn't it
I'll just wait

There is good in this
It'll help someday
Yes, this is good
It isn't bad
There is good in this
It'll help someday
Today is the same, never feeling any pain
Today is the same as tomorrow

Never any change
The usual triangle
Never any change
My triangle
It continues forever
These usual days
It continues forever
The usual


Original:

いつも同じ
青いに染まる
遠くの街
埃まみれ
強がってる
意地悪い風

街の角で
ふと見つかる
そんな 奇跡

そんなじゃない
そんなじゃない
僕は待つよ

それでいいの
いつか手を
それがいいの
わるくないよ
それでいいの
いつか手を
今日と同じ傷つかない
今日と同じ明日

いつもと変わらない
いつもの三角
いつもと変わらない
わたしの三角
いつまで続くの
いつものこの日々
いつまで続くの
いつもの

Makura by Shojoskip - English Lyrics

Makura (Pillow)

Song and words by Shojoskip
English translation by me


A playful voice
A vanishing dream
Melting away
On my pillow

But the voice isn't gone
The voice doesn't vanish
And that's OK

I see it
Underneath the universe
I see it
My eyes do not awaken
I see it
Underneath the universe



Original:

はしゃぐ声
消える夢
とける
まくら

声にならず消えて
消えなくていい
どうだっていい

見てた
宇宙を下に
見てた
目は覚めないで
見てた
宇宙を下で

Tedukurinotori by Shojoskip - English Lyrics

Tedukurinotori (Handmade Bird)

Song and words by Shojoskip
English translation by me


I always watch your back
When you are near
In the midsummer night sky,
Two stars shimmer

I was watching it by the windowsill,
A handmade bird
And I didn't mind the drops of water hopping in

I always watch your back
When you are near



Original:

いつも みてた 背中
となりにいると
真夏のよぞら
ふたり星がきらきら

窓辺でみてた
私てづくりのとり
水玉踊る雨もきらいじゃないな

いつも みてた 背中
となりにいると

Newspaper by Shojoskip - English Lyrics

Newspaper

Song and words by Shojoskip
English translation by me


I heard the news come flying through the wind
But didn't notice that the gray sky had cleared

I had a dream one time
Cold hands came together
With genuine laughter in the air

A quivering white breath
Illuminated in the moonlight



Original:

風で飛んで来た知らせを聞いた
持に気に留めず灰色の空にとけた

いつか夢を見たから
冷たい手をつないで
あの時には自然に笑えたのに

揺れる白い息
灯る月あかり

Mitsubachi by Shojoskip - English Lyrics

Mitsubachi (Honeybee)

Song and words by Shojoskip
English translation by me


This sky...
Which flower?
This morning...
A voice calling?


This terrible sky...
Which flower?
This night...
A voice calling?


Original:

こんな 空
どんな 花
こんな 朝は
呼んだ？


とんだ 空
どんな 花
こんな夜は
呼んだ？

Glory of the Snow by Shojoskip - English Lyrics

Glory of the Snow

Song and words by Shojoskip
English Translation by me

A sky without a single cloud

Shadows of birds
Shadows of trees
Snow floating in the air

We follow the footprints on the hill

The dog frolics, too
You laugh, too

The powdery snow is all kicked about

Our eyes meet
And you laugh

Isn't it true that just about everything dies?*
I really cried*

Every day like the last, endlessly repeating
A soft scent signals each one's arrival

The ground is dyed white, yet it feels warm
As I prepare to wake up,
The quiet beauty this season holds,
Stays in the midst of my memory
And you laugh

Every day like the last, endlessly repeating
A soft scent signals each one's arrival

(Note: The two lines with the asterisks beside them were difficult, and I'm not sure they are correct, so please take those with a particularly large grain of salt.)

Original:

空  雲ひとつない
鳥の影   木々の影   雪に浮かぶ
足跡を追って   あの坂道

犬もはしゃぐ   君も笑う

粉雪を蹴散らして
目を合わせて   君と笑う
なにもかもなくなることなんてないんだって

泣いたなんて

また同じような日々が繰り返しやってくる
おとずれを告げる   やわらかな香り

白く染まるその下で   あたためるように
目の覚める準備
持わびたこの季節が
記憶の中   君と笑う

また同じような日々が繰り返しやってくる
おとずれを告げる   やわらかな香り

Light and Delight by Shojoskip - English Lyrics

Light and Delight

Song and words by Shojoskip
English translation by me

Under the breezy blue sky,
I cross over swaying waves
In my dream dyed in blue,
A hazy figure retreats

Stumbling along the horizon,
I slightly graze your shoulder
You are still lost and wandering
And you haven't even noticed yet
At the bus stop on the seafront,
I slightly graze your side
You've been lost since that day
And you haven't even noticed yet

My departure is nearing
But I want to stay
Two bird feathers on the beach
Just beside me
I want to gaze into the distance
Just beside me
It looks the same as always



Original:

晴れた空にそよぐ
波間越しに揺らぐ
青く染まる夢に
後ろ姿にじむ

水平線につまずいて
君の肩を少しかすって
君はまだ迷っていた
君はまだ気づいたなかった
海岸通りバス停で
君の横を少しかすって
あの日から迷っていた
君はまだ気づいたなかった

近づいて離れて
まだ居たくて
波打ち際
二羽の鳥ように
ただそばで
遠く見つめてたい
ただそばで
ただいつものように

Arisu by Shojoskip - English Lyrics

Arisu

Song and words by Shojoskip
English translation by me


Arisu calls out
Arisu is filled with joy

She dances with the cherry blossoms in the park
And chases them in the wind
She's just a little tired
So she sprawls out on the lawn
And takes a nap

One day we had a fight
Every day elapsed so slowly
In order to become an adult,
I soon had to depart
As the car was leaving,
I saw your frozen face, unable to move

Time has passed
My dreams have subsided
You are gone
There's nothing else to say

Morning returns
You are now a mere fragment
If we had never met,
Would that be for the best, I wonder?


(Note: "Arisu" can be considered a Japanese version of the Western name "Alice".)


Original:

アリス
呼びかけて
嬉しくて

桜舞う公園で
風の中追いかけ
少しだけ疲れたら
芝生大の字
昼寝して

ある日けんかして
日々は過ぎてゆき
大人になる為に
やがてぼくは離れる
走りさる車から
立ちすくむ君の顔が見えた

時は経ち夢がさめて
きみは消えた
何も言うわず
帰る朝
きみは粉となり
会えなかったことが
よかったのかな

Kamome by Shojoskip - English Lyrics

Kamome (Seagull)

Song and words by Shojoskip
English translation by me


The cloudy sky is reflected in his eyes
I take in his grey existence
And stare at his aged back
He holds one flower in his hand
I am a seagull, flying slowly
As the wind all around builds


Original:

目に映るは曇り空
飲み込む灰色の彼
見つめる初老の背中
手に持つ一輪の花
飛びゆくわたしはかもめ
すべては風のなすまま
