Sayonara, Mata Itsuka! – Sayonara Lyrics Translation (from “LOST CORNER”)
Kenshi Yonezu sings about longing for wings that bring sadness with each wish. He tells listeners they will meet again in a hundred years without worry.
Dokokara Haru Ga Megurikuru No Ka Shirazu Shirazu Otona Ni NattaBefore I knew it, I was an adult, never knowing where spring comes from.
Miageta Saki Ni Wa Tsubame Ga Tonde Ita Ki No Nai Kao DeI looked up and saw swallows flying by with a carefree look on their faces.
Moshimo Watashi Ni Tsubasa Ga Areba Negau Tabi Ni Kanashimi Ni KuretaIf I had wings, I was overcome with sadness every time I wished for them.
Sayonara Hyakunen Saki De Mata Aimashou Shinpai Shinai DeGoodbye, let’s meet again in a hundred years, don’t you worry.
Itsunomanika Hana Ga Ochita Dareka Ga Watashi Ni Uso Wo TsuitaThe blossoms fell before I ever noticed, and someone told me a lie.
Doshaburi Demo Kamawazu Tonde Iku Sono Chikara Ga HoshikattaI wanted the strength to fly on without a care, even in a downpour.
Dareka To Koi Ni Ochite Mata Yaburete Yagate HanarebanareI fall in love, get my heart broken, and in the end, we drift apart.
Kuchi No Naka Wa Tato Chi Ga Nijinde Sora Ni Tsuba Wo HakuMy mouth fills with the taste of blood, and I spit towards the sky.
Matatake Hane Wo Hiroge Kimama Ni Tobe Doko Made Mo YukeSo spread your wings in the blink of an eye, fly wherever you please, go as far as you can.
Hyakunen Saki Mo Oboeteru Ka NaI wonder if you’ll still remember me a hundred years from now?
Shiranē Keredo Sayōnara Mata ItsukaI’ve got no idea, but goodbye, see you again someday.
Shigururu Ya Shigururu Machi E Ayumiiru Soko Kashiko De Sode FureruA cold rain falls, on and on, as I walk into town, brushing sleeves with strangers.
Miageta Saki Ni Wa Nanimo InakattaI looked up to the sky, but there was nothing there.
Aa InakattaNo, nothing at all.
Shitari kao De Sawaranai De Senaka Wo Tatakitsukeru Mato HazureDon’t touch me with that all-knowing look, you’re so far off the mark.
Hito Ga Kotohogu Jigoku No Saki Ni Koso Watashi Wa Haru Wo MiruIt’s in the world beyond the ‘hell’ everyone talks about that I can finally see the spring.
Dareka Wo Aishitakute Demo Itakute Itsushika AmatsuyuI want to love someone, but it’s painful, and my tears are like the morning dew.
Tsunagarete Ita Tsuna Wo Nigirishimete Shikato KamichigiruI’ll grab the rope that holds me back and bite clean through it.
Makeinu Sadame Tora E Doko Made Mo YukeEmbrace the fate of a born loser and go as far as you can.
Hyakunen Saki No Anata Ni AitaiI want to see the person you’ll be a hundred years from now.
Kieusete Kureru Na Yo Sayōnara Mata ItsukaDon’t you dare disappear on me, goodbye, and see you again someday.
Ima Koi Ni Ochite Mata Yaburete HanarebanareRight now, I’m falling in love, getting my heart broken, and we’re drifting apart.
Kuchi No Naka Wa Tato Chi Ga Nijinde Sora Ni Tsuba Wo HakuMy mouth fills with the taste of blood, and I spit towards the sky.
Ima Hane Wo Hiroge Kimama Ni Tobe Doko Made Mo YukeRight now, I’ll spread my wings, fly wherever I please, and go as far as I can.
Umareta Hi Kara Watashi De Itan DaI’ve been myself since the day I was born.
Shiranakatta Darou Sayōnara Mata ItsukaI bet you didn’t know that, but goodbye, see you again someday.
