Eng Translation (Feel free to point out any mistakes I've made, and to ignore this once a better translator translates this) While the city sleeps From inside a dark room I see a dream, as I’m waiting to die Let’s go for a little walk To ignore that scary dream, let’s take a detour The street lamp stopped working on the dark bridge Looking down at the intersection, I feel like I’m being sucked down Even if I were to disappear from this word It’s not like anybody would notice Swaying, swaying, The wandering me looks like a ghost, as if I would have died If only I could live like that girl My body is transparent, from inside the city While the moon sleeps Are we illuminated by unsleeping vending machines Let’s talk for a bit (Forgive me) The truth is I wanted to be alive (Because there is no meaning to living) As I’m a selfish ghost (I wanted to dive down)* The me that’s about to cry right now (“Hello?”) Looks like a human, as if I was one Swaying, swaying, The wandering me looks like a ghost, as if I would have died If only I could live like that girl My body is transparent, from inside the city Night after night, The wandering me looks like a ghost, as if I would have died If only I could live like the afterlife Even my voice can’t reach, from inside the city *I'm really unsure about that line, I interpreted it as she wanted to jump of the bridge but I'm not sure Updated 10/07: found out あの世 is a way to describe the afterlife so I've changed a line to reflect that
ENGLISH LYRICS!!!: Like A Ghost (Ghostly)/Tonakai no Kakoto Kaai Yuki Vers. When the city is asleep, I dreamlessly wait in a dark room to die Let’s go take a walk, let’s go take a detour to avoid the scary nightmares Looking down from the dark bridge, where all the street lights are cut, I’m about to fall through Nobody will notice if I disappear from this world Wandering back and forth like a ghost, if only I could live like her I’m transparent in this city A sleepless vending machine shining it’s light down on us as the moon sleeps A selfish ghost who wants to live I’m crying out “Hello?”, like a normal person Wandering back and forth like a ghost, if only I could live like her I’m transparent in this city Night after night I wander, over here, I’m just a ghost Stuck in an afterlife-like city where I can’t be heard, I wish I could live like her ~ It’s not exactly word to word, but it’s pretty close!
