Taion Lyrics English Translation by Sorato
The songwriter describes small moments that show deep connection. “Your left arm didn’t move an inch while you tossed” captures a tender scene. The poet brings us into a bedroom where comfort lives in simple gestures like reaching out while sleeping.
Futon dorobou no watashi woEven though I’m a blanket thief,
Sumi ni oiyaru beddo dorobouyou’re the bed thief who’s pushing me into the corner.
Docchi mo docchi dakedoWe’re both just as bad as each other,
Chotto ageru karabut I’ll give you a little space,
Mou chotto socchi itte yoso move over just a bit more.
Nebokete sashidashite kita hidariudeYou sleepily reached out your left arm,
Tsukatte ii ka wakaran deand I wasn’t sure if I should use it.
Mado aketeI opened the window,
Ameagari no kazeand the breeze after the rain
Suikondafilled my lungs.
Soto mou hiru da yoIt’s already noon outside.
Sorosoro okiyo tte‘It’s time to wake up,’ I said,
Furikaettarabut when I turned back to look,
Nobashita mama no hidariude toI saw your arm still stretched out,
Watashi no nukegararesting in the empty space where I’d been.
Itsudemo modoreru basho gaIt feels like there’s a place,
Aru mitai dethat I can always return to.
Manuke ni aita kuchi gaYour mouth was hanging open so sillily;
Waraeru no ni naketaI could’ve laughed, but I cried instead.
Negairi mo shinai mama no hidariudeYour left arm didn’t move an inch while you tossed,
Tsukatte ikka tte omoeteso I figured it’d be okay to use it.
Mado shimeteI closed the window,
Nukegara no naka eand let that empty space,
Suikomaretapull me back in.
Guuguu ibiki moEven your loud snoring,
Tonari ni iru yo ttemakes me feel like you’re saying, ‘I’m right here,’
Anshin shite shimatta naand it’s so incredibly comforting.
Nemutta mama aita migite deWhile you were still sleeping, you used your open right hand,
Kakenasoshite kuretato pull the covers back over me.
Itsudemo modoreru basho gaIt feels like there’s a place,
Aru mitai dethat I can always return to.
Takasugiru taion gaYour body temperature is way too high;
Waraeru no ni naketaI could’ve laughed, but I cried instead.
Futon dorobou no watashi toThe blanket thief I used to be,
Sumi ni oiyaru beddo dorobou waand the bed thief who pushed me into the corner,
Mou inai nearen’t here anymore.
Chotto atsui kedoIt’s a little hot,
Chotto urusai kedoand you’re a little loud,
Shibi retetara gomen kedoand I’m sorry if your arm’s falling asleep, but…
Mou chottojust a bit longer,
Ite yostay right here.
