Saturday, 3 February, 2018
黄金の月 (Ougon no Tsuki)1 Golden Moon By Suga Shikao2 Link to video Quick & easy pronunciation guide3 ぼくの情熱はいまや流したはずの涙より Boku no jounetsu wa ima ya nagashita namida yori 冷たくなってしまった Tsumetaku natte shimatta どんな人よりもうまく自分のことを偽れる Donna hito yori mo umaku jibun no koto o itsuwareru 力を持ってしまった Chikara wo motte shimatta My passion has become colder Than the tears I’ve cried More than anyone, I’ve learned to put on a false face 大事な言葉を何度も言おうとして Daiji na kotoba wo nando mo iou to shite すいこむ息はムネの途中でつかえた Suikomu iki wa mune no tochu de tsukaeta どんな言葉で君に伝えればいい Donna kotoba de kimi ni tsutaereba ii 吐き出す声はいつも途中で途切れた Haki dasu koe wa itsumo tochu de togireta Many times have I tried to say the words you needed to hear But my breath gets stuck in the middle of my chest How do I say what you need to hear My voice always catches in the middle of my throat 知らない間にぼくらは真夏の午後を通りすぎ Shiranai aida ni bokura wa manatsu no gogo o tohrisugi 闇を背負ってしまった Yami o seotte shimatta そのうす明かりのなかで 手さぐりだけで Sono usu akari no naka de te saguri dake de なにもかもうまくやろうとしてきた Nanimo kamo umaku yarou to shitekita Without realizing it we've passed by the mid-summer afternoon And have shouldered the darkness Flailing around in the twilight We tried to make it work 君の願いとぼくのウソをあわせて Kimi no negai to boku no uso wo awasete 6月の夜永遠をちかうキスをしよう Roku gatsu yoru eien o chikau kisu o shiyou そして夜空に黄金の月をえがこう Soshite yozora ni ougon no tsuki o egakou ぼくにできるだけの光をあつめて Boku ni dekiru dake no hikari o atsumete 光をあつめて・・・ Hikari o atsumete With your hopes and my lies Under a June night let’s kiss and promise each other an eternity Let’s draw a golden moon in the night’s sky Gather as much light to me as you can As much light as you can ぼくの未来に光などなくても Boku no mirai ni hikari nado nakutemo 誰かがぼくのことをどこかでわらっていても Dare ka ga boku no koto o doko ka de waratteitemo 君のあしたが みにくくゆがんでも Kimi no ashita ga minikuku yugandemo ぼくらが二度と純粋を手に入れられなくても Bokura ga nido to junsui o te ni irerare nakutemo Even if my future has no light Even if someone somewhere is laughing at me Even if your future becomes ugly and distorted Even if we never grasp innocence again 夜空に光る黄金の月などなくても Yozora ni hikaru ougon no tsuki nado nakutemo Even if there is no golden moon shining in the night sky A favorite from my international student days at Kobe University. ↩︎ Funky Japanese pop artist with a cool raspy voice and great lyrics.
