Blue Amber Lyrics Translation – Back Number
Lyricist 清水依与吏 writes that the singer keeps pain inside, letting it turn into a jewel. He says the singer believes that showing sadness would be an ugly burden.
Dakishimerareta Kioku KaraFrom the memory of being held,
Nagaredeta Akai ShizukuCrimson droplets began to spill.
Hitosama Ni Miseru Mono Janai NoThese aren’t things I’m meant to show others.
Tsutaenakatta Kotodama GaWords I never had the chance to say,
Mou Hitotsu No Watashi Ni NatteBecame another version of me.
Karada No Uchigawa De Nanika Wo SakenderuThey’re screaming something deep inside my body.
AaOh,
Hoshikatta No NiEven though I wanted it so badly,
Kuyashikatta No NiEven though I was so frustrated,
Dame Da Yo Zenbu Kakushite Oku NoIt’s no use, I’ve got to keep it all hidden.
Gomen NeI’m sorry.
Kanashii No Wa Hitori De Juubun Dakara ToI tell myself it’s enough for just one person to be sad,
Kore Ijou Minikuku Naritakunai No ToAnd that I don’t want to become any uglier than this.
Watashi No Naka De Dare Ni Mo Mitsukerarezu NiUndiscovered by anyone inside of me,
Konna Iro Ni Naru Made Naiteitan Da NeYou’ve been crying until you turned this color.
Kirei YoIt’s beautiful.
Watashi Sobireta Kokoro KaraFrom a heart that failed to give its all,
Nagaredeta Aoi ShizukuAzure droplets began to spill.
Hitosama Ni Abiseru Mono Janai NoThese aren’t things I should pour onto others.
Nokosu Koto Naku NomikondeI’ll swallow them down without leaving a trace,
Tooku No Umi No Soko Ni ShizundeAnd let them sink to the bottom of a distant sea.
Sono Mama Houseki Ni Demo Nareru No Wo Matsu WaI’ll wait for them to eventually turn into jewels.
Hon tou Wo Uso De KazatteI decorate the truth with lies,
Go-ko Mitai Na Kurashi De NagusameteComforting myself with a life that’s like a ‘halo’.
Dareka No Higeki De Jibun No Higeki Wo IyashiteI heal my own tragedy with someone else’s.
Koishisa Ni Oboreta Shunkan No Mama DeStill trapped in the moment I drowned in my longing,
Iki Mo Dekizu Tada Aishiteru NoI can’t even breathe, I just love you.
Kanashii No Wa Hitori De Juubun Dakara ToI tell myself it’s enough for just one person to be sad,
Kore Ijou Minikuku Naritakunai No ToAnd that I don’t want to become any uglier than this.
Watashi No Naka De Dare Ni Mo Mitsukerarezu NiUndiscovered by anyone inside of me,
Konna Iro Ni Naru Made Naiteitan Da NeYou’ve been crying until you turned this color.
Kirei YoIt’s beautiful.
Gomen NeI’m so sorry.
Nee Kirei YoHey, it’s beautiful.
