TABOO

作詞: Kumi Koda・HIRO

作曲: HIRO

Baby come wit' me

Imma show u something you've never seen before

Come and take my hands

Imma show u something you've never seen before UH!

I know it's our secret

Gotta keep it to yourself tonight

Here we go now!

闇に身を包んでから  escape

抜け出す先はいつもの  that spot

合図したら  Imma let you get inside

ハンドル握りしめて  drive away

間違い? ユメ?

幻なの?

わかっていても  I can't help it

隠せない  気持ち

こうなるはずじゃなかったのに

閉じた心  手元には  so many keys

秘密の鍵  どれで  open your heart

どんな君  みせてくれる?

止まらない  TABOO

止められない  TABOO

たくさんの  dream & secret love

私となら  which one do you like?

選んでみても  I'll take the handle away

君のハンドル握りしめて  drive away

賭けてみる?

it's party night

眠れない  I Can't help it

後戻り  出来ない

こうなるはずじゃなかったのに

閉じた心  手元には  so many keys

秘密の鍵  どれで  open your heart

どんな君  みせてくれる?

止まらない  TABOO

止められない  TABOO

無数に散らばる

中だとしても  見つけられるから

心のドア開く

たった一つの鍵  どんな手段でも・・・

試してみなきゃ  わからないこともあるから

さぁ  目を閉じて

禁断の扉

I know it's our secret

Gotta keep it to yourself tonight

Can't stop how I feel

こうなるはずかなかったのに

閉じた心  手元には  so many keys

秘密の鍵  どれで  open your heart

どんな君  みせてくれる?

止まらない  TABOO

止められない  TABOO

開いた扉  手元には  the one key

秘密のドア  これで  open your heart

どんな未来  みせてくれる?

止まらない  TABOO

止められない  TABOO

TABOO

Lyrics: Kumi Koda・HIRO

Music: HIRO

Baby come wit' me

Imma show u something you've never seen before

Come and take my hands

Imma show u something you've never seen before UH!

I know it's our secret

Gotta keep it to yourself tonight

Here we go now!

Escape from the body wrapped in darkness

Usually, you can slip out of that spot just ahead

If you make a sign, Imma let you get inside

Grab the handle and drive away

Is it wrong? Is it a dream?

Is it an illusion?

I understand that I can't help it

Unconcealable feelings

It shouldn't have been like this

There are many keys in hand to the closed heart

Which of the secret keys will open your heart?

What kind of you will you show me?

An unstoppable taboo

I can't stop this taboo

There's a lot of dreams & secret loves

If it's me, which one do you like?

Try to choose and I'll take the handle away

I'll grab your handle and drive away

Will you try to risk it?

It's party night

I can't sleep, I can't help it

I can't go back

It shouldn't have been like this

There are many keys in hand to the closed heart

Which of the secret keys will open your heart?

What kind of you will you show me?

An unstoppable taboo

I can't stop this taboo

There's an infinite number of things scattered about

Because I can search inside

The door to the heart opens

There's only one key

But how to use it...

I have to try it because there are still things I don't know

So I'll close my eyes

And open the forbidden door

I know it's our secret

Gotta keep it to yourself tonight

Can't stop how I feel

It shouldn't have been like this

There are many keys in hand to the closed heart

Which of the secret keys will open your heart?

What kind of you will you show me?

An unstoppable taboo

I can't stop this taboo

There's one key in hand to the opened door

This one to the secret door will open your heart

What kind of future will you show me?

An unstoppable taboo

I can't stop this taboo

サクラ色

作詞: アンジェラ・アキ

作曲: アンジェラ・アキ

川沿いに咲いてた  サクラ並木を

共に生きていくと  二人で歩いた

世界に飲み込まれ  吐き出されても

ただそばにいたくて  もっともっともっと

時間の流れと愛の狭間に落ちて

あなたを失った

恋しくて目を閉じれば

あの頃の二人がいる

サクラ色のあなたを忘れない  ずっとずっとずっと

あなたから離れて  自分を知った

夢に近づきたくて  もっともっともっと

否定の言葉に押しつぶされても

這い上がり戦い続けた

苦しくて目を閉じれば

あの頃の自分がいる

サクラ色の私を忘れない  ずっとずっとずっと

ふるさと心の中で今でも優しく響くよ

そんな歌が聴こえる

恋しくて目を閉じれば

あの頃の二人がいる

サクラ色のあなたのことを

サクラ色のわたしのことを

サクラ色の時代を忘れない  ずっとずっとずっと

ずっとずっとずっと

The Color of Cherry Blossoms

Lyrics: Angela Aki

Music: Angela Aki

The cherry blossom trees bloomed along the riverside

We walked underneath them, just as alive

I felt as if I could express my understanding of the world

I wanted to keep, keep, keep remainining by your side

Time passed and you fell into the valley of love

I lost you

Longingly, I close my eyes

I can see us as we were back then

I'll never, never, never forget you bathed in the color of cherry blossoms

When I separated from you, I understood myself

I wanted to get closer, closer, closer to my dreams

I crushed those words of denial

The struggle to move on continues

Painfully, I close my eyes

I can see me as I was back then

I'll never, never, never forget me bathed in the color of cherry blossoms

Even now, home resounds gently in my heart

Can you hear that song?

Longingly, I close my eyes

I can see us as we were back then

You bathed in the color of cherry blossoms

Me bathed in the color of cherry blossoms

I'll never, never, never forget that time bathed in the color of cherry blossoms

Never, never, never

手紙~拝啓 十五の君へ~

作詞: アンジェラ・アキ

作曲: アンジェラ・アキ

拝啓  この手紙読んでいるあなたは  どこで何をしているのだろう

十五の僕には誰にも話せない  悩みの種があるのです

未来の自分に宛てて書く手紙なら

きっと素直に打ち明けられるだろう

今  負けそうで  泣きそうで  消えてしまいそうな僕は

誰の言葉を信じ歩けばいいの?

ひとつしかないこの胸が何度もばらばらに割れて

苦しい中で今を生きている

今を生きている

拝啓  ありがとう  十五のあなたに伝えたい事があるのです

自分とは何でどこへ向かうべきか  問い続ければ見えてくる

荒れた青春の海は厳しいけれど

明日の岸辺へと  夢の舟よ進め

今  負けないで  泣かないで  消えてしまいそうな時は

自分の声を信じ歩けばいいの

大人の僕も傷ついて眠れない夜はあるけど

苦くて甘い今を生きている

人生の全てに意味があるから  恐れずにあなたの夢を育てて

Keep on believing

負けそうで  泣きそうで  消えてしまいそうな僕は

誰の言葉を信じ歩けばいいの?

ああ  負けないで  泣かないで  消えてしまいそうな時は

自分の声を信じ歩けばいいの

いつの時代も悲しみを避けては通れないけれど

笑顔を見せて  今を生きていこう

今を生きていこう

拝啓  この手紙読んでいるあなたが

幸せな事を願います

A Letter~Dear You at 15~

Lyrics: Angela Aki

Music: Angela Aki

Dear you,

Who's reading this letter

I wonder where you are and what you're doing

I'm 15 and I can't tell anyone

About the seeds of troubles there are

In this letter written to my future self

I'll surely be able to reveal what's in my heart

Now, it looks like I'm giving up, looks like I'm crying

It's like I'm disappearing

Whose words is it okay to trust and follow?

I have no choice but to let my heart break many times over

Within this pain, I live the present

I live the present

Dear you,

Thank you to you at 15

There are so many things I want to tell you

As you face wherever you'll go

You'll continue to see the question in front of you

The oceans of a rough youth won't relent

Even so, the ship of dreams always heads towards the morning's shore

Now, don't give up, don't cry

That time will soon disappear

It's okay to trust and follow your voice

As an adult, I realize that there are many sleepless nights

However bittersweet, you live the present

Everything in life has a meaning

No matter no scary, you have to take care of your dreams

Keep on believing

It looks like I'm giving up, looks like I'm crying

It's like I'm disappearing

Whose words is it okay to trust and follow?

Ah, I won't give up, I won't cry

This time will soon disappear

It's okay to trust and follow my voice

Someday, there'll be an unavoidable problem that brings sadness

I'll show you my smile, I'll live the present

I'll live the present

Dear you,

Who's reading this letter

I wish you nothing but happiness

About this blog

Hey, all. Welcome to utaimakuru, a Japanese lyrics repository.

I decided to start up utaimakuru for two reasons. First, this is a great way for me to put my budding Japanese skills to work. Practice makes perfect, right? Second, I feel like some translations out there stick a little too literally to what's actually on the page. The best ones try to make the translation flow as much as possible, even if it means sticking in a word here or there. That's the kind of translation work I want to do with these songs.

Oh, and one last thing: I'm not gonna run off and translate songs willy-nilly. The songs you see here are ones that mean a lot to me, whether because of lyrical content, melody, or sheer awesomeness. Granted, that probably means I won't take requests, but maybe I'll consider it if you ask really nicely.

This place is mostly for my own benefit. I'm putting it out there online just in case it helps others. If it does, great!
