Distance Lyrics Translation – Farmhouse
The wordsmith mentions a Bridgestone bike and a train’s timetable to describe the journey from childhood to adulthood. One line says, ‘Collecting pieces of the distance like a jigsaw puzzle,’ showing how small moments add up to a bigger picture. The performer uses these details to connect the past with the present.
Ye 距離Ye, distance.
小学校まで歩いた60分 遠いA 60-minute walk to elementary school, it was far.
中学校まで自転車で40分 遠いA 40-minute bike ride to middle school, it was far.
高校まで1時間一本の電車で30分Thirty minutes to high school on a train that only came once an hour.
家から一番近い大学に入学バイクで20分I enrolled in the closest university, a 20-minute ride by motorcycle.
まさかの車で5分の会社退社して徒歩で0分Then I quit the company that was a short 5-minute drive away, for a 0-minute walk.
自宅のスタジオでVerseをマイクに放り込む職業My job is to throw verses into a mic in my home studio.
RecするI’m rec’ing,
Distance 拾い集める ジグソーCollecting pieces of the distance like a jigsaw puzzle.
駐輪場にとまる ブリヂストンA Bridgestone bike is parked at the bicycle rack,
ここからそこまでの距離The distance from here to there.
あの日から今日までのStoryThe story from that day until today.
RecするI’m rec’ing,
Distance 拾い集める ジグソーCollecting pieces of the distance like a jigsaw puzzle.
駐輪場にとまる ブリヂストンA Bridgestone bike is parked at the bicycle rack,
ここからそこまでの距離The distance from here to there.
あの日から今日までのStoryThe story from that day until today.
RecするI’m rec’ing.
小学校の5分少しでも時間ありゃやるドッチボールIf we had even just five minutes in elementary school, we’d play dodgeball.
Ah Ye 自転車に乗るAh, ye, I get on my bike.
ピ#トルから飛び出るように街走る Run YeI tear through town like a bullet from a gun, run, ye.
ピンクのギャッツビーPink ‘Gatsby’ hair wax.
カマハンしている奴らHate MeThe guys with raised ‘kamahan’ handlebars hate me.
高ちゃんの肩パンくらったあとAfter getting a shoulder punch from Taka-chan,
腰パンしたまんまで食べてる揚げパン (給食)I’m eating fried bread from the school lunch with my pants still sagging.
駅のホームThe train station platform.
八高線縦長時刻表フローThe Hachikō Line, flowing with the rhythm of its long, vertical timetable.
あの日電車に乗って聴いてたラッパーとThe same rappers I listened to on the train that day,
同じビートに乗ってラップした今も2車両編成I’m now rapping on the same kind of beats, and the train still only has two cars.
元気かな 神崎先生I wonder how you’re doing, Kanzaki-sensei.
全てが大事な経験It was all a precious experience.
最短距離で作った曲These are the songs I made by taking the shortest path,
やるため乗るAnd to perform them, I get on,
AirplaneAn airplane.
RecするI’m rec’ing,
Distance 拾い集める ジグソーCollecting pieces of the distance like a jigsaw puzzle.
駐輪場にとまる ブリヂストンA Bridgestone bike is parked at the bicycle rack,
ここからそこまでの距離The distance from here to there.
あの日から今日までのStoryThe story from that day until today.
RecするI’m rec’ing,
Distance 拾い集める ジグソーCollecting pieces of the distance like a jigsaw puzzle.
駐輪場にとまる ブリヂストンA Bridgestone bike is parked at the bicycle rack,
ここからそこまでの距離The distance from here to there.
あの日から今日までのStoryThe story from that day until today.
