Kudaran! Lyrics Translation – Pastel Tang Club

Inoue Koutaro describes a narrator stuck in a moment, waiting even after a relationship has clearly ended. The poet mentions closing his eyes at a movie’s scream, showing how small things trigger big memories. He calls their shared experience a ‘completely meaningless’ (Nante kudaranai) love, a sentiment that gives the track its title.

Korya kuchizuke me o fuseteWith this kiss and my eyes cast down,
Boku mada mada mada madaI’m still, still, still, still,
Matte iruwaiting for you.
Sore dake saThat’s all there is to it.
Honto sore dakeTruly, that’s just it.
Tabun imagoro nya tsuidetemoMaybe by now, even if it’s all over,
Boku mada mada mada madaI’m still, still, still, still,
Matte iruwaiting for you.
Sore dake saThat’s all there is to it.
Honto sore dakeTruly, that’s just it.
Eiga no sakebi de me o fuseteI close my eyes at the movie’s sudden scream,
Boku mada mada mada madaand I’m still, still, still, still,
Obieterushaking with fear.
Te o nigiruI’m clenching my hands together.
Honto sore dakeTruly, that’s just it.
Sorya ima demo omotteteOf course, I’m still thinking about you even now.
Demo mada mada mada madaBut I’m still, still, still, still,
Kizukanu erefusing to notice the truth.
Sonna mon saThat’s just how things are.
Honto sore dakeTruly, that’s just it.
Kono hibi niIn these passing days,
Nante ahorashiihow absolutely foolish,
Nante kudaranaihow completely meaningless,
Koi ga anda nethis love of ours was, wasn’t it?
Maa betsu niWell, it doesn’t matter.
Nan mo kanjineI don’t feel a thing,
Nan mo itakuneand it doesn’t even hurt.
Sonna mon dazeThat’s just the way it goes.
Demo betsu niBut it’s whatever.
Nante ahorashiiHow absolutely foolish,
Nante kudaranehow completely silly,
Koi yaburetenow that our love is broken.
