Genius Lyrics English Translation by Maverick Mom
The lyrics tell the story of someone singing to reconnect with a lost love, even as the wind tries to silence them. ‘I’ll sing until it reaches the one I loved,’ the artist declares, showing determination in the face of pain. Maverick Mom uses vivid lines like ‘rusted tears’ and ‘chaotic hymn of reality’ to bring the story to life.
Utae aishita ano hito ni todoku madeSing until it reaches the one I loved.
Moeru kaze ni fukaretatte tsukizu kono nodo karaseEven if the burning wind blows against me, I’ll sing until my voice gives out.
Kaita kashi no ura ni kobiritsuitaClinging to the back of the lyrics I wrote,
Boku no jiishiki teki na risou kannenare my self-conscious, idealistic notions.
Bokutachi ga ima naze konnaWhy are we singing this kind of song now,
Uta o utatte dare ni todoku hazu mo nakuwithout any hope of it reaching anyone?
Tada korosu kakuu no naratibu karaBorn from the vibrations of a fictional narrative,
Umaretanda shindouthat I’m just trying to kill off.
Saigo no ringoIt’s the final apple.
Kusatte kakushita kindan no muyokuA forbidden lack of greed, rotten and hidden away.
Bokutachi ga ima dekiru kotoWhat we can do right now,
Kuwaiya o utatteis sing in the choir,
Tada inoru dakeand just keep praying.
Ashita no kinou ni utatte itaiI want to be singing in the ‘yesterday’ of tomorrow.
Aa kareta namida wasurete shimau mae niAh, before I completely forget these dried-up tears,
Tojita kokoro no oku de imadeep inside my closed-off heart.
Saa kakageta te de itsukaCome on, with these hands I’ve raised,
Kagayaki o tsukame genjitsu sainou kaika ranzatsu sankaI’ll grasp the light one day, in this chaotic hymn of reality and blooming talent.
Utae aishita ano hito ni todoku madeSing until it reaches the one I loved.

Ima zenbu mochikoshiteI’ll carry them all with me now.
Kaze ga tsurete kita ai no zanzouIt’s an afterimage of love brought by the wind.
Itsuka mezameta toki ano seishun o mou ichidoWhen I wake up one day, I’ll find that youth once again.
Sainou gainou baizouTalent and reputation are multiplying.
Kitai o shinai to itai yoIf I don’t expect anything, it’s gonna hurt.
