TURN OVER Lyrics Translation – 9Lana
The songwriter Kohei Kiriake asks, ‘Didn’t I have a few more things I wanted to do?’ This line captures the song’s theme of unfinished goals and the drive to keep going. The poet uses vivid images like a ‘world line’ and ‘game over’ to describe the struggle and the determination to rewrite destiny.
OwarenaiI can’t let it end.
Yappa konna toko de waI won’t stop at a place like this, after all,
Tsuzuki ga mitemitakunattandabecause I’ve started wanting to see what happens next.
Seimeisen nanka wa shosenMy ‘lifeline’ is just a line on my palm, after all.
Ate ni naranai yobousenIt’s an unreliable defensive precaution.
IssoI’d rather just,
Majinai kakete nanimokamo gomakashitecast a spell and deceive everything.
Otto mimawasebaOops, if I look around,
Yeahyeah.
Yume ka yomi kais this a dream or the ‘underworld’?
Isekai eI’m heading into another world.
Mou choi yaritai koto attan janaiDidn’t I have a few more things I wanted to do?
Konna saigo o nozonda oboe wa nai desuI don’t recall wishing for an end like this.
Sou icchaeba seidou bouei ni narimasu kaIf I say that, does it count as legitimate self-defense?
I don’t wanna lose to myselfI don’t wanna lose to myself.
Risetto shitatte sebu suru mae deEven if I reset, it’s before I could save.
Risou ya kitai wa mashin ja arumaishiMy ideals and expectations aren’t just parts of a machine.
Kienai naThey won’t fade away.
Mou nando me daHow many times has it been now?
OwarenaiI can’t let it end.
Yappa konna toko de waI won’t stop at a place like this, after all,
Zutto kono sora no tsuki miagete itai karabecause I want to keep looking up at the moon in this sky forever.
