sanagi Lyrics Translation – Yama
The songwriter describes a moment where one person flies while the other stays grounded. ‘The one who took flight was you, looking fragile enough to break,’ he notes, contrasting it with his longing for an unknown horizon. The lyrics weave a story of growth, pain, and acceptance.
Habatakidashita no waThe one who took flight
Ima ni mo kowaresouna kimi dattawas you, looking fragile enough to break.
Tachidomatteita no waThe one who stood still
Mada minu keshiki ni akogareta boku dattawas me, longing for a landscape I’ve never seen.
Massara na haneThose brand new wings,
Kimi no masshiro na haneyour pure white wings.
Ooikakusu you niAs if to cover them up,
Te no naka ni shimattaI hid them away inside my hands.
Omou hodo ni kimi waThe deeper my feelings grew,
Guchagucha ni nattathe more broken you became.
Totemo janai kedo itaiIt’s unbearable, it hurts so much,
Kono mama ja irarenai yoI can’t go on like this.
Mou tomerarenai yaI can’t stop it anymore.
High and dryHigh and dry
Mou tomerarenai yaI can’t stop it anymore.
Fly so farFly so far
Mou tomerarenai yaI can’t stop it anymore.
You make it rightYou make it right
Yuiitsu no hikari ni te o nobashitaI reached out for the only light I saw,
Kasundeiku sorain this blurring sky.
Muragatta ga ni ononoiteiru jibun wa yowaiI’m weak, trembling at the moths swarming around,
Kono sanagi wa mada iki o shiteiru kanawondering if this chrysalis is still breathing.
Utsushidasu karappo no mirai oProjecting an empty future,
Hateshinaku tsuzuita itami oand pain that has lasted forever.
Hontou wa wakatteitaTruth is, I knew it all along;
Jibun de egaiteita kyokou dait was a fiction I created myself.
Kaze ni mau kimi o miteitaI watched you dancing in the wind,
Mada gikochinai tabidachi oon your clumsy, awkward departure.
Massara na haneThose brand new wings,
Kimi no masshiro na haneyour pure white wings.
Tadoritsukeru you niPraying you would reach your destination,
Habatake to negattaI wished for you to fly.
Omou hodo ni boku waThe deeper my feelings grew,
Guchagucha ni nattathe more broken I became.
Totemo janai kedo itaiIt’s unbearable, it hurts so much,
Kono mama ja irarenai yoI can’t go on like this.
