3minits Lyrics Translation (from “Untitled”)
Benjazzy highlights a goosebump that stays on skin after crossing a windy bridge. The songwriter writes, “Everything comes back, but not you,” a line that stays sharp. The composer arranges a steady beat that follows the breath. He adds a chorus that repeats three minutes.
Abunee hashi kata de kazekiri watariCrossing a dangerous bridge while cutting through the wind,
Hayari norazu oikoshitaI passed ’em without riding the trends
Tobikata suramo shirazu tobitatte waI took flight without even knowing how to fly,
Bibittenenee noni naora nee torihada gaI’m not scared, but these goosebumps won’t go away
Furishibotte wa seisei suru mi o kona ni shitaI wrung out every drop and ground my body to dust,
Jinsei kobawake shi urisabuitaI portioned out my life and sold it off
Wasurerareta yatsu kara tatamu keieiBusiness shuts down for those who’ve been forgotten,
Yasuri sezu ni tada de wa owara neeI won’t sell cheap, it won’t end for nothing
Oretachi miehari tsuita usoOur lies are just covered in vanity,
Hajimari wa dorobo de marugotostarted as thieves taking everything whole,
Ubaitori owaru koro ni goatby the time the heist is done, I’ll be the GOAT
Herahera waratte issho berabera bekucha ryaLaughing foolishly and chatting away for a lifetime
Sorya tozen kashi mo saifu mo peraperaIt’s obvious your lyrics and your wallet are both paper-thin,
Ootochuun de gomakase neeyou can’t fake it with Auto-Tune
Jinsei wa shudo tte iu koto wakarasete kuI’ll make you realize life is manual transmission,
Kono baasu nara ore no tenshoku to no keiyakusho dethis verse is a contract with my calling
