Downy • From “8th Album”Untitled””
Night Crawlin’ Lyrics Translation (from “8th Album”Untitled””)
青木ロビン writes about a frozen world that acts as a ‘peaceful sanctuary,’ where time melts and flowers refuse to bloom. One line stands out: ‘With the scent of the night, come running out,’ evoking a quiet, nocturnal escape.
Koru sekai wa mahoroThis frozen world’s a ‘peaceful sanctuary’.
Tomatta tokei ga tokeruThe stopped clock starts to melt.
Adabana o adabana oI’m picking sterile flowers, sterile flowers,
Adabana o adabana o hirotterugathering up flowers that’ll never bloom.
Yoiyami fukaiThe dusk is deepening,
Tobikonde oideso come on and dive in.
Kurooru no sokudo deAt the speed of a crawl,
Kokyuu o kirashiterunning out of breath.
Daremo inaiThere’s no one around,
Are o sutenaitoso I’ve got to throw that away.
Yoru no nioi deWith the scent of the night,
Kakedashite oidecome running out.
Tsuki to utsuwa deWith the moon and a vessel,
Namida tarashitelet the tears fall.
Koharu ni magureteGet lost in the ‘late autumn warmth’,
Irikonde oideand come on inside.
Azayaide oideStay vivid for me,
Kisu o shitoideand go ahead and leave a kiss.
Daremo inai yoru no nioi deIn the scent of a night where no one’s around.
Gozen reiji wa emooshoonMidnight’s a pure emotion,
Inu ga neteru aida niwhile the dogs are all sleeping.
Naite oiteGo ahead and cry.
Kimi no na o ate mo nakuI call your name without an aim,
Kimi no na o ate mo nakucalling out for you aimlessly.
Akebono wa jamamono yoThe dawn’s just an intruder,
Akebono wa jamamono yothe daybreak’s in the way,
Akebono wa jamamono yothe sunrise is a nuisance.
Jamamono yoIt’s just an intruder.
Yoru no nioi deWith the scent of the night,
Kakedashite oidecome running out.
Tsuki to utsuwa deWith the moon and a vessel,
Namida tarashitelet the tears fall.
Koharu ni magureteGet lost in the ‘late autumn warmth’,
Irikonde oideand come on inside.
Azayaide oideStay vivid for me,
Kisu o shitoideand go ahead and leave a kiss.
Daremo inai yoru no nioi deIn the scent of a night where no one’s around.
Yoru no nioiThe scent of the night,
Yoru no nioithe night’s aroma,
Yoru no nioithe smell of the dark,
Yoru no nioithe fragrance of the night,
Yoru no nioithis nocturnal scent,
Yoru no nioithe aroma of the night,
Yoru no nioithe scent of the midnight air,
Yoru no nioithe night’s own fragrance.
Daremo inai yoru no nioiIn the scent of a night where no one’s around.
Subaru no neon deUnder the neon of the ‘Pleiades’ star cluster,
Azayaide oidecome being vivid.
Yoru no nioi de mahoroshiite oideCome and make this a haven with the scent of the night.
Yoru no nioi deWith the night’s fragrance,
Yoru no nioi dewith the aroma of the night,
Kakedashite oidecome running out.
Yoru no nioi deIn the scent of the night,
Yoru no nioi dein the smell of the night,
Irikonde oidecome on inside.
Fumikonde oideStep right in,
Yoru no nioi dewith the scent of the night.

Craw crawlin’ crawlin’moving in a crawl, crawling,
Craw crawlin’ crawlin’crawling, crawling away,
Craw crawlin’ crawlin’just crawling, crawling.
