DiNA Lyrics Translation – Yuuri
Yuuri writes ‘Happiness is split right down the middle’, a line that mirrors a broken fruit. The artist mentions socks left where you kicked them off, a habit that sounds like a small scar. He then shows the DNA that hid its tail, a truth that sticks to simple objects.
Kutsushita o nugippanashi ni suru kuse moThe habit of leaving your socks right where you kicked them off,
Nakushita mono sugu watashi ni kiku kuse moAnd the habit of immediately asking me where you lost something,
Atarimae ni douse kanjite inai no deshouYou probably just took it all for granted anyway,
Warui toko watashi ga zenbu umete oita noSince I’ve already filled in all your flaws.
Kimi ga dokoka no dareka toEven if you’re out there with someone else
Shiawase ni kurashiteru to shiteLiving a happy life right now,
Watashi to kurashita idenshi noIt’s all thanks to the ‘genetic’ traits
Okage nan desu neYou inherited from our time together.
Kimi with kurashita dnaThe DNA of a life spent with you,
Mune ga itaku naru kisetsu neIt’s the season where my heart starts to ache.
Shiawase wa kyou mo hanbunkoHappiness is still split right down the middle,
Fukugen dekinai kimi o sagashiteAs I search for the ‘you’ I can’t restore.
Shippo kakushita dnaThe DNA that hid its tail,
Honto wa kimi ga shitteru neYou actually know the truth, don’t you?
Sabishisa mo kitto hanbunkoThe loneliness is surely split in half too.
Fukugen dekinai watashi o omoidashitePlease remember the ‘me’ you can’t restore.
Tadaima no ato wa te o araiwasureteForgetting to wash your hands after saying ‘I’m home’,
Yakusoku wa mamotte nante kenka shiteArguing about things like keeping your promises,
Kitto imagoro wa ii ko ni shiteru n deshouI’m sure you’re acting like a ‘good boy’ by now.
Warui toko watashi ga zenbu umete oita noI’ve already filled in all your flaws.
Kimi ga dokoka no dareka to onaji you niIf you get into a fight with someone else,
Kenka shichatteJust like you did with me,
Honno sukoshi watashi o omoidashiteAnd you remember me for just a split second,
Hoshii nante baka desu neI’m such a fool for wanting that.
Kimi to kurashita dnaThe DNA of a life spent with you,
Mune ga itaku naru kisetsu neIt’s the season where my heart starts to ache.
Shiawase wa kyou mo hanbunkoHappiness is still split right down the middle,
Fukugen dekinai kimi o sagashiteAs I search for the ‘you’ I can’t restore.
Shippo kakushita dnaThe DNA that hid its tail,
Honto wa kimi ga shitteru neYou actually know the truth, don’t you?
Sabishisa mo kitto hanbunkoThe loneliness is surely split in half too.
Fukugen dekinai watashi o omoidashitePlease remember the ‘me’ you can’t restore.
Senobi shite mo todokanai bashoA place I can’t reach even if I stand on my toes,
Aitsu ga oita mama dattaThat guy just left it as it was.
Watashi ga dekinai koto oThe things that I just couldn’t do,
Kantan ni yattenoketariYou’d pull them off so easily.
Aa nan de mo nai nan de mo naiAh, it’s nothing, it’s really nothing,
Nan de mo nai koto na no ni naaEven though it’s absolutely nothing at all,
Kimi o omoidashite kurashii yaIt’s so frustrating to keep remembering you.
Omoide to iu dna gaThe DNA known as ‘memories’
Watashi ni mo nokotteruStill remains inside me too.
Kimi to kurashita dnaThe DNA of a life spent with you,
Mune ga itaku naru kisetsu neIt’s the season where my heart starts to ache.
Shiawase wa kyou mo hanbunkoHappiness is still split right down the middle,
Fukugen dekinai kimi o sagashiteAs I search for the ‘you’ I can’t restore.
Shippo kakushita dnaThe DNA that hid its tail,
Honto wa kimi ga shitteru neYou actually know the truth, don’t you?
Sabishiku natcha make da yo neIf I let myself get lonely, I’ve already lost, haven’t I?
Fukugen dekinai watashi o omoidashitePlease remember the ‘me’ you can’t restore.
Shiawase wa kyou mo hanbunkoHappiness is still split in half today,
Sabishisa mo kitto hanbunkoLoneliness is surely split in half too.
Atarashii watashi ni naritai yoI want to become a brand new version of myself.
Umarekawaru nara dnaIf I’m to be reborn, it’ll start with my DNA.
