Whoever You Are Lyrics Translation – Hakubi
Katagiri pens lines about invisible boundaries. A key translation reads, ‘No matter who you are, I hope morning light finds your heart.’ The lyrics follow someone crossing intersections, looking up at the sky.
Yi ge you jie zhe yi ge wenti ru chaoshui yong laiQuestions keep rushing in, one after another, like a tide.
Wei women zhe yang a zhen de wufang maIs there really no way out for people like us?
Ni shuo de he zuo de shifou zhenxin zai biaodaAre your words and actions truly coming from the heart?
Que shizhong nan bian xin li yiyun zai fuxianIt’s always hard to tell, as doubts keep resurfacing in my mind.
Chuang guo zhe chengshi de shizi lu xiang mei ren jide wo shi shuiCrossing through the city’s intersections, it’s like no one remembers who I am.
Zhongjiu shui ye bu shi a wang zhe tiankong qingsheng changI’m nobody in the end, just looking up at the sky and singing softly.
Hao xiang shenme dou hai shao yi dian zhe jiu shi suowei de women maIt feels like something’s still missing; is this what they call ‘us’?
Bian bu cheng shui xin zhong de na ge wo xin yu shen shen yu xin he er wei yiI can’t become that version of myself in anyone’s heart, but my heart and body are finally becoming one.
Yaoyuan yaoyuan de yanshen tiankong yijiu buduan yanshenMy gaze drifts far away, while the sky just keeps stretching on.
Wei suowei de jiexian daodi zai nali neWhere are those so-called boundaries, anyway?
Xi de kuai kan bu jian que hai zai shanshuo de xianThere are lines so thin you can’t see them, yet they’re still flickering.
Qing qing de kaojin ta ba ta fang jin xin li mian qiao qiaoGently draw closer and tuck it quietly into your heart.
Chuang guo zhe chengshi de shizi lu xiang mei ren jide wo shi shuiCrossing through the city’s intersections, it’s like no one remembers who I am.
Zhongjiu shui ye bu shi a wang zhe tiankong qingsheng changI’m nobody in the end, just looking up at the sky and singing softly.
Zheng shi na xie kan bu jian de cunzai cai shi wo yi lu zou lai de zhichengIt’s those invisible things that have supported me throughout my journey.
Bu bi chengwei shui wo jiu shi wo qingrou de feng ren huiyi qiao ran fuxianI don’t need to be anyone else; I’m just me as memories quietly drift back like a gentle breeze.
Qiao ran fuxian ah, ah, ah-ahThey’re quietly surfacing, ah, ah, ah-ah.
