Imase • From “BONSAI”
NIGHT DANCER Lyrics Translation – BONSAI Soundtrack
imase writes about ordinary nights transformed by a partner’s presence. He mentions a messy room and music about to stop. The lyrics ask to stay in the moment and dance together.
Doudemo Ii You Na Yoru DakedoIt’s a night that doesn’t really matter, but,
Hibimeki Kirameki To Kimi MoWith the echoes and sparkles, you’re here too.
Mada Tomatta Kizamu Hari MoEven the ticking hands that have stopped,
Irihitatta Chirakaru Heya MoAnd this messy room drenched in the sunset,
Kawaranai Ne Omoidashite WaThey don’t change as I look back on them,
Futari Toshi O KasanetetaWe were growing older together.
Mata Tomatta Otosu Hari OThe needle I dropped has stopped again,
Yoku Nagashita Kikiakiru HodoI’ve played it so much I’m tired of it.
Kawaranai Ne Kawaranai De\Irareta No Wa Kimi Dake KaNothing changes, but were you the only one who could stay the same?
Muda Banashi De HaguらかshiteYou’re dodging me with idle chatter,
Fureta Saki O Tamerau You NiAs if you’re hesitant to touch.
Fumidashite Zureta Hari O Yoso NiStepping out and ignoring the slipped needle,
Soroi Hajimeteta Iki GaOur breaths have started to fall into rhythm.
Doudemo Ii You Na Yoru DakedoIt’s a night that doesn’t really matter, but,
Hibimeki Kirameki To Kimi Mo “odorou”With the echoes and sparkles, you should “dance” with me.
Doudemo Ii You Na Yoru DakedoIt’s a night that doesn’t really matter, but,
Futari KizamoLet’s carve out this moment together.
Sukitootta Shiroi Hada MoYour translucent white skin,
Sono Waratta Mujaki Na Kao MoAnd that innocent face when you laugh,
Kawaranai Ne Kawaranai De\Irareru No Wa Ima Dake KaThey don’t change, but can you stay this way only for now?
Mitsumeru Hodo NiThe more I stare at you,
Afureru MemoriiThe more the memories overflow.
Utsuku Kokoro Ni Koohii OI’m pouring coffee into my hollow heart.
Midareta Heya Ni Yureta MerodiiA melody sways in this messy room,
Mazariatte Yo Mou IchidoLet’s blend together once more.
Doudemo Ii You Na Yoru DakedoIt’s a night that doesn’t really matter, but,
Tokimeki Iromeki To Kimi Mo “odorou”With the heartbeats and the excitement, you should “dance” with me.
Doudemo Ii You Na Yoru DakedoIt’s a night that doesn’t really matter, but,
Futari KizamoLet’s carve out this moment together.
Yoru Wa Kuroi ObotsukanaiThe night is dark and uncertain.
Ima Ni Mo Tomarisou Na MyuujikkuThe music sounds like it’s about to stop.
Kimi To Itai Oborete ItaiI want to be with you, I want to lose myself in this.
Ashita Ga Konakutatte Mou Ii NoI don’t mind if tomorrow never comes.
Doudemo Ii You Na Yoru DakedoIt’s a night that doesn’t really matter, but,
Hibimeki Kirameki To Kimi Mo “odorou”With the echoes and sparkles, you should “dance” with me.
Doudemo Ii You Na Yoru DakedoIt’s a night that doesn’t really matter, but.
AishiteLove me.
Doudemo Ii Kara Boku Dake OIt doesn’t matter, just love me.
Furatsuki Yoromeki Nagara Mo “odorou”Even while we’re staggering and swaying, let’s “dance.”
Doudemo Ii You Na Yoru DakedoIt’s a night that doesn’t really matter, but,
Futari KizamoLet’s carve out this moment together.
