Sound of Waves
She Is Legend
Sound of Waves Lyrics English Translation by She Is Legend
麻枝 准 writes about a summer heatwave and the fight to endure it. The lyrics mention seashells, coffee, and pressed flowers to evoke memories of simpler times. The poet asks, ‘Where’d those seashells I tucked away so carefully go?’ to reflect on fading memories.
Yousha no nai netsu ga hisashi gotoA heat that knows no mercy
Tokasu ikioi de kono shima o ooucovers the island with enough power to melt the very eaves,
Ganbare senpuukikeep on fighting, electric fan,
Tobase sono fan yakikireru hodo mawaseba nantoka narublast that air, ’cause if you spin until you burn out, we’ll somehow pull through
Nishibi ga mabushii kaaten o te niThe setting sun’s too bright as I reach for the curtains
Demo mada mitetai ashita ni wa kiesaru kamobut I still wanna keep watching, since it might all vanish by tomorrow,
Daiji ni shimatta kaigara wa dokowhere’d those seashells I tucked away so carefully go,
Namioto mo wasure haruka mirai sarani doko eI’ve even forgotten the sound of the waves, so where’s this distant future taking me now
Yousha no nai tatakai wa tsuzukuThe merciless battle rages on
Ashita ni wa waga mi da wasuretemasen kaand tomorrow it’ll be my turn, haven’t you forgotten that,
Ganbare kikanjuukeep on fighting, machine gun,
Tobase ima o kirihiraku sono tame nifire away, just so we can carve out a path to the present
Koohii no nioi yaketa toosutoThe scent of coffee and toasted bread
Sukasazu kao arai nidone no yuuwaku o tatsufills the air as I wash my face to cut through the temptation of sleeping in,
Souzou shite miru soboku na asa oI try to imagine a simple morning
Kata yose tokitama waraiau sonna hibi o hana ga muzugayuiwhere we’d lean on each other and laugh—those kinds of days make my nose itch
Hyakuten no touanPerfect scores on test papers
Suiro no zariganiand crawfish in the waterway,
Nikki ni wa oshibana ga takusanmy diary’s filled with pressed flowers
Bukatsugo no saidaaand the taste of cider after club practice,
Yuugure no kodokuthere’s a loneliness in the twilight
Daiji na takara ga takusan atta nonieven though I used to have so many precious treasures,
Saa ganbare jibun jishinso come on, keep fighting, myself,
Tobase denakya kono hoshi wa hametsu icchokusen nanda ze babygive it everything, ’cause otherwise this planet’s headed straight for destruction, baby
Umibe o aruita eien mezashiWe walked along the shore aiming for eternity
Akitara kaigara atsumete mimi ni atetaand when we got bored, we’d collect shells to hold against our ears,
Kono oto wasurenai mochiron kimi moI won’t forget this sound, and I won’t forget you either,
Issho ni tsureteku haruka mirai no hate e gojuuokunenI’m taking you with me to the very edge of the distant future, five billion years away
Nishibi mo shizunde sukkari yoru niThe setting sun’s gone down and it’s fully night
Demo mada takara o sagashi ni ikitai karabut I still wanna go out searching for treasures,
Touan zarigani oshibana saidaathe tests, the crawfish, the flowers, and the cider,
Kodoku mo aisuru subete o motte yuku tabi sathis is a journey where I’ll carry everything, even the loneliness I love
