I tried to translate "Journey's Prequels, Journey's Traces' by Iyowa

Translated Lyrics:

Watching the hand-me-down recollection Of someone else's journey It looked so fun and tickled my imagination And filled my eyes with sparkles

Even the sea, even the sky Far beyond the horizon of those stories I'm curious, I'm just so curious about it I can't sit still! I'm too excited! I just can't wait any more!

I felt something had changed Mama, Papa, don't stop! My half written report Will be all done before I go on my journey!

I wonder what I'll can become Now, with a just borrowed piece Something far beyond my imagination Really might happen!

Watching the hand-me-down recollection Of someone else's journey It always looked so grown-up I've always longed for it

From a chance encounter, we got to know each other And become best friends I'm curious, I'm just so curious about it My heart skips a beat! I'm ecstatic!

When you've grown up biiig and strong And run headfirst down an unknown road To start your own journey outside this town You might be suddenly discovered by the great wide world!

I wonder when I'll be ready Now, a boat filled with my imagination might fly Far beyond the sea and the sky

Someday you'll have gone far, far away Even on the other side of the world, I'll always love you Don't rush, it's okay to turn back You'll always have a home to return to here

Never forget, You will always have allies by your side Keeping you in their hearts

Something changed Totally, absolutely, in every which way, it changed! Breaking out into a sprint, no matter where I am I won't lose it Because I was given something precious

Because I can be like you too! Now, with a just borrowed piece The things far beyond my imagination Really might happen!

I tried to translate "Sunny" by Yorushika:

Translated Lyrics:

As if you are the wind

If I shut my eyes, dusk would fall about us

I wonder what you're thinking about? Hmm…

As your eyelids were parting

Revealing eyes of time-blown glass¹

They were tinted with the tiniest scent of Spring Sun

Shine light through the clearings! O flowers, bloom!

Fault the blooming Spring Sun

If this rain ever was to stop

Spring would adorn you with its Sunbeams

O sound of my beating heart! Be still!

We, the Sunny Spring breeze

Go far beyond those clouds

Billowing ever on in the distance

As if you were an the pattern of a sky about to clear

If I shut my eyes to you, blue would fall about us

What is it that makes you so sad? Hmm…

As your eyelids were parting

Revealing eyes of time-blown glass

Clouded with the tiniest scent of rain

Weep for your weeping! O sky, weep!

Fault the wailing rain

Even in this unending downpour

Above the clouds is a Sunny Spring day

O rain who beats upon the breast of the Earth, resound!

We, the Spring storm

Go, too, far beyond those oceans

Drawing ever wider their horizon

A passing shower that perches on the tips of grass

Sheepclouds running loose,² that too, the fault of Spring

As if wind, Spring billows in my lungs

Waiting for the clouds to clear

Shine light through the clearings! O sky, rend apart!

Fault the tattering Spring

If it were to ever stop raining

Spring would adorn you with its sunbeams

Bowing the strings of our hearts

We, the Spring breeze,

Call forth a sunlight on our sound that will clear the sky

Come! Make still this very song!

Shine light through the clearings! O flowers, bloom!

Fault the blooming Spring

Go far beyond the clouds

Billowing ever on in the distance

Footnotes:

ビイドロ (Biidoro) [en. Vidoro] is a term used for a kind of artisan glass usually incorporating many colors. The glassblowing techniques needed for these glassworks are very refined and practiced very intensely, thus "time-blown glass" felt appropriate. Notable examples of this would be the Aomori Vidoro so please look at their works, they're very beautiful!

Sheepclouds or Altocumulus clouds are mid-altitude clouds which usually signify settled or pleasant weather of a given area

On the Title:

The title is 晴る (haru) which is a play on the words 春 (haru) meaning "Spring" and 晴れる (hareru) meaning "To be clear", "To stop raining", or "To be sunny". This appears throughout the song and my translation aims to find a middle-altitude between all of those definitions and Spring-ness. The official translation of the title is Sunny.

Translator's Note:

The line, "Shine light through the clearings" or 「晴れに晴れ」 was so fascinating to translate, and it is only thanks to n-buna's wonderful writing in which the clearings filled with sun might be both the sky and the forest earth.

n-buna is very partial to the seasonal 季語 (kigo) or Season Words of Haiku, especially that of Masaoka Shiki, thus this song plays within the pallet of spring so incredibly beautifully. Please enjoy!

I tried to translate "She looks kind of sleepy" by issey

English Lyrics / Translation

She looks kind of sleepy "You kissed me so soft without warning" "Yeah yeah, thanks" ♪ ♫ ♩ I'll just laugh it off for now

These days Keep a bit careful And keep a bit warm Fwaa… Goodnight Because our distance was so tight I got all choked up and broke But that's only because We were close

As I drowned on my way to you For the sake of your greedy self I can't believe I sopped up all this pain Let's warm up a bit

Fu fu fu

She looks kind of sleepy "You kissed me so soft without warning" "Yeah yeah, thanks" Oh dear I guess I'll just sort of laugh it off for now

I was floating I was enamored I was tested I'm starting to get sick of it But I still drank it all down Because there wasn't any of the Anxiety or agony Or talking about it

♪ ♫ ♩

In that way I got lost In your eyes as I met them And yet, and yet… I'm so jealous Why? I want to feel your faint body heat I want to play around with it but Only one of ours is increasing

Oh it's nothing at all really That scent of yours I've never smelled before

It kind of became a habit And without telling anyone I can't believe I did it Oh well… "You're welcome to it too" Oh dear… I made it all worse Isn't that lovely?

She looks kind of sleepy "You kissed me so soft without warning" "Yeah yeah, thanks" Oh dear I'll just sort of laugh it off for now

I'm already a bit embarrassed Oh dear I don't even have to ask but Let it soak in, so you don't forget

I tried to translate "talk" by misa:

English Lyrics / Translation:

There's been a war raging on the far-side of the meadow It's the usual peacetime here A carefree slander A language only of Japan Too, the custom of love & peace Too, the embers of low angled unease Too, this song from a bird's eye view It's all so pointless I can't help but laugh

But more importantly, yesterday's tweet Who was that about? The usual Believing in you again, but only a bit I'm wary of asking about the new road because it's scary

The friends you surround yourself with The friends I surround myself with Tomorrow will be fun, right? More The dead hum of a day-to-day with nothing coming after

As expected, today again it's ablaze Here, where the meadow once was A new method to use humans as fertilizer Opposed on all sides from every corner of the earth All speaking different languages Without quarreling A charred black ending

I tried to translate "murder" by 凍傷のエト:

English Lyrics / Translation:

Someone never once cared for Secretly kills that honest girl At some point, my lying self Will leave something behind It's like from the depths of her youthful eyes She's glaring at me

Mockery, Embodiment, The Ruin of Equilibrium A replica of a third party's cheek wet with tears That invite only more tears is displayed

Smashed and decieved You who is wailing, and my unsavable self I wonder if they're both weak My eyes glossed with lies were a certain cold color God melted to nothingness

I killed her didn't I? I asked your phantasm for a motive I could feel a fitting answer echo back to me like a ghost

What was dropped? Where did I go wrong? Why did my ego die? Who's the monster? Someone told me I'd find answers

No struggle can save me For I want only salvation Remember, Hold the hate in this world dear and let it fade

I tried to translate "aquarium" by 凍傷のエト:

English Lyrics / Translation:

A wise man once said:

"We all return to the earth one day"

The fish, the forests, the schoolhouse,

My bully, too, surely they'll all…

I don't really want to live a long life but

If you and I are going to disappear one day

Then it's fine to run away from my memories

 

Things like someone's bad behavior, or their bragging

Honestly, I don't really care about them at all

The room always kept shut

The humid air, it's unpleasant

 

A nook in the blankets of the sickbed

Inability to make a living

Becoming pregnant with vulnerability

Let's go outside

It's a bit cold but…

 

The truth is,

I really want to get out of this place

In the town the sad people

Swim in the streets

And by the time your body sinks it's already too late

It's all melted to mud

My cheeks ran of their color

With no time for my slight fever to cool

I tried to translate "Sleep Aids" by 縦色:

English Lyrics / Translation:

It's sleepy and lovely

What happened to the life you lead?

Suppers left to go cold

The bad dreams come one after the other

In a little nook somewhere in Shinjuku

A fish is homeless

What are the things that make me who I am?

Because the medicine did it's job

I drank in the ceiling

From the hotel window

I see you, a stray child

We can become one

I love this world so dearly

I can be at peace with war

Everyone, everyone, let's go to sleep

I tried to translate “Tiger Lily” by 奈ノ:

English Lyrics / Translation:

If even a single raindrop was to fall

It would bring back the memories

On the day of that festival

The you who disappeared

Vague words

Melting fireworks had burst

Even now I see them in my dreams

The light fades

Upon your yukata

The outlines of the crowd disappears

Night shone upon

The base of the stairs

If even a single raindrop was to fall

Might I stay by your side for a bit?

A quiet corner of the night

I went to meet your indigo-dyed sleeves

War, The Festival Band, Humid Summer Wind

Swaying hair in the distant summer

At the edge of uncertain eyes

I wrote about you as I saw you through the Ramune bottle

This summer is always repeating

This summer is my whole lifetime

Singing with a tone like the village storyteller

If you watch the fireworks, it would be like a century slipped before your eyes

Ice cream fell upon your tip-toes

I noticed something and suddenly stumbled upon a secret

It's not a dream

The beat of your heart

Falls in time

With the rhythm of the music

This summer

Let's not wait anymore

It's horribly nostalgic

The afterimage

The Demon and The Lily

Dyed in the color of night

Sugar and Gunpowder

The sweet scent of night

The slight trace

Of a flower's scent upon your sleeve

If you gazed upon this memory

Not one part of you would be there

You find

A lively crowd

And among them

You would find our old selves

Begging for rain

Let it all wither away

The scent of incense

Cuts my lungs
