Serenity Lyrics Translation – Ivy Solecki
Ivy Solecki drafts poetic lines that question reality and memory. She asks, ‘Have we ever met before, in a past life I can’t quite recall?’ The musician mixes this tender mystery with simple images of a smile across a crowded room.
I caught a glimpseI caught a fleeting glimpse,
Of the flicker in your eyesof a flicker within your eyes.
A sight I couldn’t missIt was a sight I couldn’t possibly miss,
Along with every signalong with every other sign.
Have we ever met before?Have we ever met before?
In a life I can’t recall?In a past life that I can’t quite recall?
My voice is still soreMy voice is still strained and sore,
But I pray you hear my callbut I’m praying that you’ll hear my call.
HajimemashiteNice to meet you for the first time,
Onamae wa nan desu katell me, what is your name?
Hisashiburi da neIt has been such a long time,
Kimi ni atte karasince the last time I was with you.
I caught your smileI caught sight of your smile,
Deep in a crowded roomfrom deep within a crowded room.
I hadn’t seen it in a whileI hadn’t seen that expression in a while,
And I glanced away too soonand I’m afraid I looked away too soon.
Have we ever met before?Have we ever met before?
In a dream some quiet night?Perhaps in a dream on some quiet night?
My hands are still soreMy hands are still aching and sore,
But I’ll hold yours through the fightbut I’ll hold onto yours throughout this fight.
HajimеmashiteNice to meet you for the first time,
Onamae wa nan desu katell me, what is your name?
Hisashiburi da nеIt has been such a long time,
Kimi ni atte karasince the last time I was with you.
HajimemashiteNice to meet you for the first time,
Onaji kimochi desu kaare you feeling the same way too?
Hisashiburi da neIt has been such a long time,
Mada aishiteruand I’m still in love with you.
I caught a glimpseI caught a fleeting glimpse,
Of the falter in your smileof the way your smile began to falter.
A sight I couldn’t missIt was a sight I couldn’t possibly miss,
Though you’d already traveled mileseven though you’ve already traveled for miles.
Will we ever meet again?Will we ever meet each other again?
In a life somewhere far away?In another life somewhere far away?
Are you no more than a friend?Are you really nothing more than a friend?
And have I been led astray?Or have I simply been led astray?
HajimemashiteNice to meet you for the first time,
Onamae wa nan desu katell me, what is your name?
Hisashiburi da neIt has been such a long time,
Kimi ni atte karasince the last time I was with you.
