Toumei Ni Naritai Lyrics Translation (from “No.Ⅰ”)
Vaundy notes a dragon fading in the clouds, a small detail that signals something slipping away. He mentions forgotten star names and a heartbeat thumping in the ears, showing loneliness through quiet moments. The line ‘I want to become transparent’ repeats like a wish too fragile to speak aloud.
Futo soto o nagameI glance outside,
Kumo ni ryuu on sugataand the dragon’s shape in the clouds
Mienaku natte itehas faded from view.
Sono mimi no oku niDeep inside those ears,
Dokidokithump-thump,
Gyutto mune gamy chest tightens
Itaku naru kara sabecause it starts to ache.
Sou chiisana shiawase toYes, with a little happiness,
Tokidoki de ii yoit’s okay if it’s just sometimes,
Yume o mitai noI want to have a dream.
Dene awayokubaAnd, if I’m lucky,
Toumei ni naritaiI want to become transparent.
DemotteAnd then,
Kimi no tonariby your side,
Yume to nari toketaiI want to become a dream and melt away.
Toumei ni naritai yoI want to become transparent.
Tsugi no basutei wa konai yoThe next bus stop won’t come,
Hakuchuumu da kara nebecause it’s a daydream.
Mata soto o nagameI glance outside again,
Sora no hoshi no namae gaand the names of the stars in the sky
Wakaranaku nattetaare something I’ve forgotten.
