I'm a beginner with Japanese, and I took a lot of creative liberties translating this, but please enjoy for my fellow english-speakers who have no idea what this song means! (Japanese has a lot of implied subjects but I tried my best ^^) song title: "When the night falls, Geng Shiba is.." The proper you is beyond the night If you stop breathing, everything is futile- Can’t you give me lungs full of adrenaline? I returned to the underworld, running with all my might. like playing with make-believe friends, A lonely and empty night falls. Pouring the water like innocent respect, Everything is becoming ridiculous. Let’s crawl around on this earth bearing hatred I am as inferior as a corpse as I was a human Please don’t touch me My heart is purely eroding away Look at them, being a good person- Bleaching the daytime sun with righteousness I want to tear them apart limb by limb*, So that even rags are not left behind. Sleeping Lovely, Still dreaming of imaginary fantasies- If I were to guess the weather forecast, Is it okay for me to get it wrong, brother? Sleeping Lovely, Still dreaming of imaginary fantasies- If you’re searching for the culprit, Have you tried looking in the mirror, brother? By the time I noticed, it was already summertime Even a place to return home to, by now, I have pathetically lost Torn apart, aah- cruelty Without people, there is no innocence. draping good-naturedness like clothes around myself- Yes, it was something like that. I want to tear it apart limb by limb*, Just like I'm doing now. Sleeping Lovely, Still dreaming of imaginary fantasies- If I were to guess the weather forecast, Is it okay for me to get it wrong, brother? Sleeping Lovely, Still dreaming of imaginary fantasies- If you’re searching for the culprit, Have you tried looking in the mirror, brother? (1, 2, 3, 4) I still don’t have enough money to go to heaven** It’s really just as you say, How about I give you a gift from the underworld instead? Love, love, love*** Sleeping Lovely, Still dreaming of imaginary fantasies- If I were to guess the weather forecast, Is it okay for me to get it wrong, brother? Sleeping Lovely, Still dreaming of imaginary fantasies- If you’re searching for the culprit, Have you tried looking in the mirror, brother? (Have you tried looking in the mirror, brother?) * - Japanese phrase, kinda (torn into 8) this refers to limbs so I just changed it ** - specifically the 'pure place' or where the buddha lives in buddhism, but since not many english speakers are buddhists, I changed it to make it easier to understand *** - I wasn't really sure how to translate this, it was saying love over and over again (specifically 'ai' as opposed to 'koi'; 'ai' is characterized as a giving up for the other person's sake, while 'koi' is a more selfish love. (?) I tried my best to explain lol
@@captain_lemon 「If it'll be night,Koujyuhachi is」…koujyuhachi is a story in chinese.I don't use English well because I'm japanese…if I mistook…sorry(´・ω・｀)In japanese,「Yoruninattara koujyuhachi ha」
The song is really groovy and the gorgeous art in this animation mv further cements how great the overall product of this song is. And yes, I'm the english comment you were looking forward to. Hi! It's my first time listening to Peg's music and so far I'm digging it :)
