CHAMELEON Lyrics Translation – Pop Art Town
なるおさやか describes a transparent chameleon searching for itself. The line ‘I’m still alive, darling’ echoes the restless yearning. The poet notes the blue that is far too blue, and the replica images turn into paper thin truths.
Nando egaite nuritsubushiteI keep drawing and painting over it again and again,
Kakinarashita merodi gaand the melody I’ve strummed out,
Dandan to yugande ittegradually starts to warp,
Yuganda oto dake kikoeruuntil all I hear are distorted sounds.
Kore ga otona ni naru tte iu kotoSo this is what it means to grow up.
Akirete hara ga tatte kuruI’m fed up and getting angry.
Aosugiru ao ga boku no shousoukanThis blue that’s far too blue,
Kasoku sasete kujust makes my irritation accelerate.
Repurika mitai na ai to usoThese loves and lies are just like replicas,
Narabete wa nagameteruand I’m just lining them up and staring at them.
Rashisa tte yatsu wa“Being yourself,” or whatever that is,
Doko ni aru nowhere exactly is it?
Samayoi kawatte ikuI’m just wandering and changing.
Shinde inai dake na no darinI’m just not dead yet, ‘darling’.
Atashi haite sutte sutteI’m breathing out and breathing in,
Haite sutte ikishiteru dake ttejust breathing in and out to stay alive.
Katte ni mousou taikaiI’m having a delusion contest all by myself.
Mou kanben kanben shite choudaiPlease, just give me a break already.
Toumei na kamereon gaA transparent chameleon,
Kyou mo jibun o sagashite iruis searching for itself again today.
Kienai itami mo kizu mo zenbuEvery pain and every scar that won’t fade away,
Utsukushiku miseru karaI’ll make them all look beautiful.
Reon mitsukete yo neSo find me, ‘Leon’ (chameleon).
Kore ga otona ni naru tte iu kotoSo this is what growing up is all about.
Usupperai kami ichimaiIt’s as thin as a single sheet of paper.
Tobasareru you naI don’t need these fake things,
Nisemono nante iranaithat feel like they’ll just blow away.
Jibun rashiku aritsuzukeru you niI’ll just keep on being true to myself.
Shinde nai dake na no darinI’m just not dead yet, ‘darling’.
