Midnight Lyrics English Translation by Som
The songwriter describes tossing and turning, caught in a whirlwind of doubt and loneliness. A key line, ‘If I can find a way to light up this midnight,’ offers hope amidst the chaos. Som uses simple yet powerful words to show the fight to hold on to meaning.
Mabuta ga ochiruMy eyelids are falling heavy.
Isshun no ashita ga yogiruA glimpse of tomorrow flashes through my mind.
Futon ni shizumi kiru made wa tooi naIt feels like a long time until I’m fully buried in my sheets.
Ittari kitariI’m just tossing and turning.
Mata mayoi megurasete iruI’m letting my doubts spin ’round again,
Hamidashita haru o mataidestepping over the remnants of a spring that didn’t fit.
Itsudatte lonelyI’m always feeling so lonely,
Hotobashiru fuan nilost in a surge of anxiety.
Nakisou ni nannaI’m on the verge of tears.
Mogaite bad dayI’m struggling through this bad day.
Aitai karaBecause I really want to see you,
Mada watashi wa owarenai noI can’t let it all end just yet.
Midnight o tomoseru no naraIf I can find a way to light up this midnight,
Kienai riyuu ni kizuku noI’ll realize the reason why I won’t just fade away.
Imi no nai muda agakiIt’s a pointless, desperate struggle,
Nounai to tachiichi wa barabara niwhere my thoughts and my reality are completely out of sync.
Kochira wa set desuEverything is set on this end.
Umaku wa hamaranaiBut things just aren’t fitting into place.
Shizen na ippo chikazuku midnightI’m taking a natural step closer to midnight.
Tama ni wa aizu kuretatte ii n janaiWouldn’t it be nice if you gave me a sign once in a while?
Agaranai tension oThis mood that just won’t lift,
Dounika kounikaI’m trying to deal with it somehow.
Watashi no naka ni waDeep inside of me,
Miwatashite mo onlyno matter where I look, you’re the only one I see.
Kakegae no nai anata to onajiJust like you, who’s truly irreplaceable,
Daiji ni dekiru kanaI wonder if I can cherish this feeling.
Mogaite bad dayI’m struggling through this bad day.

Midnight o tomoseru no naraIf I can find a way to light up this midnight,
Kienai riyuu ni kizuku noI’ll realize the reason why I won’t just fade away.
Watashi no route deI’ll find my own way forward.
Kono mama yureteI’ll just keep swaying like this,
Fuwari fuwari tofloating gently through the night.
Kaji o totte yukimashouI’ll take the helm and keep moving,
Imi no nai koto wa nai you nimaking sure that nothing is ever without meaning.
Ima dake o mitsumeteI’m focusing only on the present.
Koko ni itePlease just stay right here.
