Atarayo • From “utakata”
utakata’s drop Japanese Lyrics English Translation
ひとみ notes how the morning sun reaches through the window, bright and almost unbelievable. She describes people bursting like bubbles and melting like ripples, gone in an instant. The line ‘I just want to keep on smiling’ repeats like a quiet promise made in the present.
Hadasamui kuuki gaThe chilly air,
Madogoshi ni tsutawatte kuruI can feel it through the window.
Omowazu me wo utagatte shimau hodo nosIt’s so bright I can’t even believe my eyes,
Mabushii asahi ga sugu soko made kiteiruthe morning sun has finally reached right here.
Bokura kitto itsuka waSurely, one day we,
Suihou no you ni hazetewill burst just like bubbles,
Kiete shimau no deshouand vanish into nothing.
Anata no kongo isshou no omoide ni nareta naraIf I could become a lifelong memory for you,
Fumeiryou na ashita wo urei nageku yoriinstead of grieving over an uncertain tomorrow,
Waratte itai noI just want to keep on smiling.
Amarinimo shizen niSo naturally,
Atomawashi ni shite ikite kita jibun no kotoI’ve lived my life putting myself on the back burner.
Ima nara sukoshi dake wakaru ki ga suru ndaI think I’m starting to understand a bit now,
Koko kara nukedaseru kanaI wonder if I can break free from this place.
Bokura kitto itsuka waSurely, one day we,
Hamon no you ni toketewill melt away like ripples,
Kiete shimau no deshouand vanish into nothing.
Sorenara isso zutto saki moIf that’s the case, even long into the future,
Wasuretakunai you naI want to be something you’ll never forget.
Anata no kongo isshou no omoide ni naritai noI want to become a lifelong memory for you.
Fumeiryou na ashita wo urei nageku yoriInstead of grieving over an uncertain tomorrow,
Semete ima wa anata no soba deat the very least, right now by your side,
Waratte itai noI just want to keep on smiling.
