Gosenfu Lyrics Translation – Omokage
日隈貫太 tells the story of a person who struggles with past mistakes and unspoken pain. In one line, the narrator says, ‘Let’s layer our voices together, and make a promise to keep this dream alive.’ This shows a mix of vulnerability and determination to move forward, even when the past feels overwhelming.
Yuyake sugite iroaseta machi moThe town has faded now that the sunset’s passed,
Kyonen no imagoro wa dou shite ita kanaand I wonder what I was doing this time last year.
Raibuhausu no akari ga tsuitaraOnce the ‘live house’ venue lights flicker on,
Kodoku no rizumu to taiwa o shiyouI’ll have a conversation with the rhythm of my loneliness.
Unmei da toka zettai da tokaWhether it’s destiny or some absolute truth,
Ima wa dou datte iiI don’t really care about any of that right now.
Tada koe o kasaneteLet’s just layer our voices together,
Yakusoku o shiyou yume no tsuzuki o saand make a promise to keep this dream alive.
Ienai itami mo utau karaSince I’ll sing even the pain I can’t speak of,
Namida mo sakebigoe mo anpu ni tojikomete saI’ll lock my tears and my screams inside the amplifier.
Kimi dake no gosenfu o egaiteJust draw a ‘musical staff’ that belongs only to you,
Itsuka bakari ga kuchiguse ni nattebecause “someday” has become my most common phrase.
Surikireta kinou o nando kurikaesu noHow many times will I repeat these worn-out yesterdays?
Kawaranai nuguena kako o toozaketeI try to distance myself from the past I can’t change or erase.
Wakaranai mama da to jibun ni batsu tsuketeI punish myself for still not understanding why,
Soredemo itsuka o mata tsuzuru hibi oyet I still spend my days writing about that “someday.”
Soredemo soredemo shinjite itain daEven so, I still want to keep on believing.
Mou yametai yaI want to give up already.
Kake ya shinai sonna yoru wa nansen to koete kitaI’ve made it through thousands of nights when I couldn’t write a single word.
Kakidashita kakera hitotsu ga mada iki o shite iruOne single fragment I started to write is still breathing.
Kuyashii kurushii urusai genkai yowasa o mo koeteMoving past the frustration, the pain, and the noise of my limits and weaknesses,
Yakusoku o shiyou kimi no ibasho o salet’s make a promise to find a place where you belong.
Namida mo waraigoe mo narashite yo supiikaaLet the tears and the laughter ring out through the speakers.
Kono hibi o aishita bokura no saIt’s the sound of us, who’ve loved these days.
Yamenai bigaku o katachi niGiving form to the ‘unrelenting aesthetic’ of never quitting,
Korekara no hanashi dake o tada tsuzukeyoulet’s just keep talking about what comes next.
Bokura no gosenfu o narashiteLet our ‘musical staff’ ring out.
