DRY SURF Lyrics English Translation by Watanabeach
The poet mentions the jazz of ‘Cannonball Adderley’ as a soundtrack to late-night introspection. One line reads, ‘As soon as we touch, suddenly, it’s our final kiss,’ which highlights the fleeting nature of connections. The lyrics mix the imagery of a private carnival with the harsh reality of unfulfilled wishes.
Furetara kyuu niAs soon as we touch, suddenly,
Saigo no Kiss meit’s our final kiss.
Eien nante dorai saEternity’s such a cold, dry concept.
Baitaru kyuu ni jouchi furikiriMy vitals surge as I leave my emotions behind,
Wangan haiuei despeeding down the Wangan ‘Bayshore’ Highway.
Cannonball AdderleyListening to the jazz of ‘Cannonball Adderley’,
Me ga sameta yoakemaeI woke up just before the dawn.
Doko e ikou kaWhere should we go now?
Oh oh ohOh oh oh.
Shinya reiji uraroji no benchiMidnight on a bench in the back-alleys,
Nagareru namida wo tomenaidedon’t stop the tears from flowing.
Denwa no mukou wa dare na noWho’s on the other end of that phone call?
Hitoriyogari wa musekin daroBeing so self-absorbed is pretty reckless, isn’t it?
Yasashii kotoba wo erandemoEven if I choose the kindest words,
Nanimo kawaranai yaritori niin this exchange where nothing ever changes,
Jikan dake ga kioku wo usumeruonly time can fade these memories.
Kosame no naka no ooburi na waipaaThe oversized wipers sweep through the light rain.
Yoru no tobari ga oriru kaigan deOn the coast where the curtain of night falls,
Mieta shiawase no kaidanI saw the stairway to happiness.
Zawatsuku yoru no yamiThe restless darkness of the night,
Kuruidasu moraruand my sense of right and wrong starts to spiral.
RainyIt’s rainy,
Hitokuchi nonda amai saidaataking a single sip of sweet soda.
Furetara kyuu niAs soon as we touch, suddenly,
Saigo no Kiss meit’s our final kiss.
Eien nante dorai saEternity’s such a cold, dry concept.
Baitaru kyuu ni jouchi furikiriMy vitals surge as I leave my emotions behind,
Wangan haiuei despeeding down the Wangan ‘Bayshore’ Highway.
Cannonball AdderleyListening to the jazz of ‘Cannonball Adderley’,
Me ga sameta yoakemaeI woke up just before the dawn.
Doko e ikou kaWhere should we go now?
Oh oh ohOh oh oh.
Inori ni nitaThey were almost like prayers,
Negai nado takusan motteitattebut even if you hold onto so many wishes,
Nanimo kanai wa shinaikaranot a single one is going to come true.
Sora no kurayami ga sukitootta shunkan niThe moment the darkness of the sky turned clear,
Mawaridasu futarikiri on kaanibarua private carnival for just the two of us begins to spin.
Areta keiken ga bokura no senritsu woOur rough experiences have shaped our melody,
Hosei shita yuuutsu na supairaruinto a melancholic, corrected spiral.
Furetara kyuu niAs soon as we touch, suddenly,
Saigo no Kiss meit’s our final kiss.
Eien nante dorai saEternity’s such a cold, dry concept.
Baitaru kyuu ni jouchi furikiriMy vitals surge as I leave my emotions behind,
Wangan haiuei despeeding down the Wangan ‘Bayshore’ Highway.
Cannonball AdderleyListening to the jazz of ‘Cannonball Adderley’.
Furetara kyuu niThe moment we touch, out of nowhere,
Saigo no Kiss megive me one last kiss.
Eien nante dorai saForever is just a cold, dry illusion.
Baitaru kyuu ni jouchi furikiriMy pulse quickens as I cut off all feelings,
Wangan haiuei deout on the Wangan ‘Bayshore’ Highway.
Cannonball AdderleyListening to the jazz of ‘Cannonball Adderley’,
Me ga sameta yoakemaeI woke up just before the dawn.
