10 Years Ago Lyrics Translation – Kowichi
KOWICHI tells the story of a restless night, and the musician notes a line, ‘I can’t sleep at night, anxiety overwhelms me’. He shows bulging pockets in the back seat of a Cadillac, yet the void stays.
Yoru mo nemurenaiI can’t sleep at night,
Fuan de shikatanaiand the anxiety is overwhelming.
Sore dake wa kawaranaiThat’s the one thing that hasn’t changed,
Kane nanka jabecause money alone
Umaranakatta kokoro no naka wacouldn’t fill the emptiness inside my heart.
Yoru mo nemurenaiI still can’t sleep at night,
Fuan de shikatanaithe anxiety is just too much,
10 nen mae to onajikuraijust like it was 10 years ago.
Kazoku ya nakama karaFrom my family and my crew,
Manabu koto bakkari no my lifemy life has been nothing but lessons learned.
Are mo kore mo atteAfter going through this and that,
Kyou ni natteI’ve finally reached today,
Ore ni natteruand become the man I am.
Rest in peace oyaji to inu no aiRest in peace to the love of my old man and my dog.
Raibu no hi ni tabidatta baachan niTo my grandma who passed away on the day of my show,
Totemo miserarenai mono bakka deI’m full of things I could never bear to show you.
Fukurandeta poketto no nakaMy pockets were bulging,
Uragitte bakkabut I was just betraying everyone.
Sonna jibun ni kizuita toki ni wa osokattaBy the time I realized what I’d become, it was too late.
Kyaderakku no koubu zasekiIn the back seat of the Cadillac,
Suyasuya ore ni nita beibiimy baby, who looks just like me, is sleeping soundly.

Kinou mo ore ni maketakunai kara madabecause I still refuse to lose to who I was yesterday,
Yoru mo nemurenaiso I still can’t sleep at night.
Fuan de shikatanaiThe anxiety is overwhelming,
Sore dake wa kawaranaithat’s the only thing that stays the same,
Kane nanka jabecause all this money
Umaranakatta kokoro no naka wacouldn’t fill the void in my heart.
Yoru mo nemurenai fuan de shikatanaiI can’t sleep, the anxiety is unbearable,
10 nen mae to onajikuraijust as bad as it was 10 years ago.
Kazoku ya nakama karaFrom my family and my friends,
