Meikyuu Butterfly -diverse-

Lyrics: PEACH-PIT (Saitou Megumi)

15. Meikyuu Butterfly –diverse-

Open your shiny eyes in the silent night
A mysterious night swept down upon us
It creeps up to us without the sound of footsteps
An enchanting black cat’s pose

A silhouette comes into view with the moonlight at its back
it smiles ‘come over here’ and beckons

A shadow of desire in a squirming city
wandering around aimlessly, pretending to be an angel
carrying around preciously
pieces of love that have nowhere to go

When it’s time to fall asleep, are you
having sweet dreams somewhere as well?
Kissing the starry sky, the good girl already said goodnight

Don’t look at it, don’t capture it
the butterfly that lost its way
Free, singing, with wings that no one can see
It’s hiding somewhere in the back of your chest

When the shape in the mirror
was a crybaby
However I am no longer a child
I untied my grown hair

The sweet fragrance that tightens my chest
It’s alluring, have you noticed?
I put a spell on the lips that lost their words

Don’t look at it, don’t capture it
the butterfly that lost its way
it loves too much, it’s too precious
the key to my chest is about to get destroyed

I will keep searching for my own story
Even if I might get blindfolded by fate
I will pierce through this cloud and flap my wings towards the distant tomorrow

Don’t look at it, don’t capture it
the butterfly that lost its way
Taking off with invisible wings clad in wishes
Hiding somewhere in the back of your chest

White Album – Koiiro Sora

Standard

I decided to put up the English translation of the White Album character song ‘Koiiro Sora’ (‘Love-Coloured Sky’) since it didn’t seem to be on the Internet. I really love this song, it’s so tender and actually I quite identify with the lyrics.

The original version is sung by Hirano Aya and it is the character song of her character Morikawa Yuki.

So here goes:

Koiiro Sora – Love-coloured sky

We walk the city dyed in the twilight
Together, holding hands
If I can be by your side like this
I don’t need anything else

Like a dream, time goes by unnoticed
Each time when we say ‘goodbye’ and wave our hands, I feel like I’m going to cry

The loneliness locked in my heart
Is piling up like falling snow
I can’t sleep, I want to strongly confirm this happiness
I want to hear your voice for a bit…

 No matter how many people share smiles, still
For some reason this feeling of being alone doesn’t disappear

 When it’s the two of us, I have the feeling I can become stronger
I want to feel you closer and closer

 My heart is freezing, I want you to
Warm me up with that kindness
Even if I search the whole world, a warmth that surpasses yours
Surely doesn’t exist 

The loneliness locked in my heart
Is piling up like falling snow
I can’t sleep, I feel the scent of winter outside the window
When I look up at it, it’s a love-coloured sky

 

Hello world!

Hey-hey-hoo!

Welcome to my blog! Thank you for checking this out!

I’ve had this blog for a long time, so long that now I’m wondering why I didn’t come up with a better name xD I named it after my old nickname, which is Mei. So feel free to call me that!

It started as a platform to just randomly upload Japanese song lyrics that I translated into English because I had no other real purpose for them. I started translating lyrics because I got tired of always searching for lyrics translations online and never really finding everything I was looking for so I decided to start making my own! I know there are always people out there looking for lyric translations, and I hope I can contribute in my own small and humble way 🙂 After that, I started thinking about doing more and sharing more of myself, so I also started adding drawings and info about my own stories and characters. Recently I’ve started adding reviews of Asian dramas (of which I watch A LOT). I felt that it was a waste that I watched so many and also forgot so many. I always have a lot of opinions about the things I watch and I could never truly share it with anyone so that’s why I decided to upload those here as well 🙂 Read at own caution 😉

So anyhow, recently I’ve started to become more active, mostly in posting Japanese song lyrics translations and writing drama reviews. When I find time again to work on my own story I will try and upload more about that here as well.

I hope this can be a fun blog for people to check out!
