ada ada Lyrics Translation (from “hibi sanman”)
The poet mentions a ‘distorted mass that can’t quite become a beast,’ describing a struggle between chaos and control. Nishina sings about wanting to fall in love deeply, even if it burns the soul. The phrase ‘living life exactly as my heart desires’ highlights a theme of self-acceptance and freedom.
Kemono ni narenai ibitsu na katamariA distorted mass that can’t quite become a beast,
Kizukeba risuku ya raku na mono bakarifilled only with risks and easy choices before I knew it.
Mi wo kogasu hodo no koi ga mata shitaiI want to fall in love again, deep enough to scorch my soul,
Kai narasarenai ano nioichasing that untamed scent that refuses to be domesticated.
Saikin no seikatsu to iebaIf I had to describe my life lately,
Sorenari no kanji deit’s just going through the motions,
Sogi otosezu ni iru bonnou ni zeinikucarrying the weight of desires and excess I can’t seem to trim.
Otona ni narisugichatta kanaMaybe I’ve grown up a little too much.
Nante ima ga ichiban wakai no ni neEven though right now is the youngest I’ll ever be,
Tsumannai koto iu no yame na yoso stop saying such boring things.
Kodou ga hayamaru tokiWhen my heartbeat starts to race,
Onna wa issou kirei ni waraua woman’s smile becomes even more beautiful.

Nigori ga majiriauas the murkiness blends together,
