Sleeping pills Lyrics Translation (from “Nemuru – walls”)
Laura Day Romance shows a bottle of sleeping pills beside a dim street lamp. The artist notes, ‘Sleep pills melt my memories away’. She reflects on a yawning night that asks for a quiet goodbye, while 鈴木迅, the poet, writes the final line.
Minai ma ni kimi ga tabako o hajimetetara dou shiyou toka honki de omou no daI’m seriously worried about what I’d do if you started smoking while we’re apart.
Kazoekirenai kizu wa wakachiatte mo maru de heranai mama kimi no mono daEven if we share our countless wounds, they don’t fade; they’re still yours alone.
Tada boku wa bokurashiku kimi o omou no daI’ll just keep thinking of you in my own way.
Omoide o tokasu you na jouzai no amai nemuri gaThe sweet sleep from these ‘sleeping pills’ feels like it’s melting my memories away.
Nandaka ima kokochi ii karaIt feels strangely comfortable right now.
Kimi no heya no sutereo ga narasu purejidentsu no kyoku ga iu you ni ikanakatta gaThings didn’t work out like that song by ‘The Presidents’ playing on your stereo said they would, but,
Boku wa bokurashiku kimi o omou no daI’ll keep thinking of you in my own way.
Saigo ni shiyouLet’s make this the end.
Owari o hitotsu ga kono machi o honno sukoshi sometaraIf one of these endings colors this city just a little bit,
Onaji mono mite oyasumi o iuwe’ll look at the same thing and say goodnight.
Nemurigusuri to uso to kimi o warawasu souzou to tabi ni deyouI’ll go on a journey with sleeping pills, lies, and the thought of making you laugh.
Kimi no bun madeI’ll go for both of us.
Soko ni mada nokotte iruIt’s still lingering there.
Kimi dattara mitsukete komaru darou kaIf it were you, would you be upset if you found it?
Komaru darou naYou probably would be.
Boku wa bokurashiku kimi o omou karaBecause I’m going to keep thinking of you in my own way.
Aa sekai ga fui ni damariAh, the world suddenly goes quiet.
Akubi o suru kimi yo mukae ni kite yoYou’re there yawning; please, come and find me.
