TIME MACHINE Lyrics Translation Listen | Please Johnson | TIME
Please Johnson sings about specific memories like a thick sweater and a yellowing book. The performer notes, ‘I’ll board a time machine, and head to a universe where you don’t exist.’ He describes a world that makes no sound as an escape from heartbreak.
Aa itsuka no keshikiAh, the scenery from a distant day.
Omoidasu koto no nakatta koukeiA sight I’d never thought I’d recall.
Atsui seetaa o nuideTaking off my thick sweater,
Iitakatta koto iu yo ano hi no kimi niI’ll tell you what I wanted to say on that day.
Boku no koto o oboete iru kaiDo you remember me?
Imasara nani mo nai kedoIt’s far too late for anything now,
Inaku nattemo wasurezu ni nantebut even if you’re gone, I won’t forget you,
Soko ni ita you nait’s as if you’re still right here.
Kinou made no hon no tsuzukiThe continuation of the book I read until yesterday,
Shiori o hasande ita peeji no kibamithe yellowing pages where I’d left my bookmark.
Kitto ima kara demo oitsukeru you naI feel like I could still catch up, even now,
Ki ga shite iru ki ga shite iru no yoI feel it, I really feel like I can.
Demo sonna koto wa nain datte kizuitan daBut I’ve realized that just isn’t possible.
Time machine ni notteI’ll board a time machine,
Kimi no inai uchuu ni iku yoand head to a universe where you don’t exist.
Koboreru namida o nugutteWiping away my falling tears,
Oto no nai sekai ni iku yoI’ll go to a world that makes no sound.
Kitto sabishiku nai karaI’m sure I won’t be lonely,
Sou deshouisn’t that right?
Aa tte sakebuI cry out into the void.
Hari no tomatta tokei kokyuu mo tomaruMy breath stops just like a clock with frozen hands.
Dou demo ii koto bakari no nichijou deIn a daily life filled with trivial things,
Kimi dake o mite ita boku dake ga mete itan daI was looking only at you, I was the only one watching.
Aa tte sakebuI cry out again.
Time machine ni notteI’ll board a time machine,
Kimi no inai uchuu ni iku yoand head to a universe where you don’t exist.
Koboreru namida o nugutteWiping away my falling tears,
Oto no nai sekai ni iku yoI’ll go to a world that makes no sound.
Kitto sabishiku nai karaI’m sure I won’t be lonely,
Uchuu de tsunagatte iru karasince we’re connected within the cosmos.
Dokomade mo ikeru to omou karaI believe I can go anywhere now,
Sou deshouisn’t that right?
