Immature
Lyrics: ayumi hamasaki
Composition: Kazuhito Kikuchi
Arrangement: HΛL
We never really wish for
that many things
Hiding in the shadows of the gray buildings
wondering what that is sitting so silently
Rubbing our eyes, we peeked in
It might've been me, or that girl, or you
It's not that we couldn't see anything because of loneliness
We just didn't want to see any longer
It's okay if we have days
when we think that we were born
in order to be happy, right?
Hey, if you listen carefully, you can hear
the shout like a prayer that's hidden within
What was flowing in that river one day
was fragments of our broken dreams
We've tried being hurt
by each promise that wasn't kept
It's okay if we have days
when we think that we're alive
in order to one day be happy, right?
Even knowing that not everything
that reflects in our eyes is pretty
Unable to cope with the tragedy before our eyes
we can't reach those far away tragedies
It's okay if we have days
when we think that we were born
in order to be happy, right?
"I really want to open the door"
It's okay to put that into words and say so
It's okay to put that into words and say so

Hi. I saw your translation of "Immature" from Hamasaki Ayumi. And enjoyed watching the youtube as the song is one of my faves from her songs.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion, the "Haiiro no biru no ......, Jitto shiteru mono wa nandaro" part may be different from yours. The "Jitto" here means "sit still", "stand still", or "being still". So, my idea for the part is, "wondering what it was hiding still in the SHADE of the grey building).
There are two supporting reasons for it. First, Ayu had been in fact an unknown actress before she was the top of singers. So, she knew how it was being still in the shade of big things, waiting to be discovered. Last year, her auto-biographical novel was published in Japan which I read, and her days as an actress is described. Of course the book is not a complete autobiography as the book was written not by Ayu herself but by another writer who is famous for the skill to write autobiographies. So some stories may be dramatized or ommitted.
Second, I am a native Japanese...:)
But, who knows? So let's hope Ayu answers to the mistery. Enjoy translating!
Thank you for your comment! Actually, you are totally right, and I mistranslated it. I appreciate you letting me know! It sometimes happens when translating! I'm just glad you let me know so kindly!
DeleteI hope you enjoy this site if you continue to come here!
You have good translations.
ReplyDeleteDid you really first post this in 1999?
Thank you!
DeleteAnd I didn't. Haha
I just like to edit the date to the day the song was released!
