Young Vintage Lyrics Translation Aoto | Kiss My Life
The lyrics talk about growing through struggle, with lines like ‘I’m learning how to earn my wrinkles, just like a true vintage.’ AOTO uses rain as a metaphor for challenges, showing how they shape his journey. The narrator insists that even alone, he will keep moving forward.
Mezasu saki yangu binteejiMy goal is to become a young vintage.
Tarinai okane futteru madobeStaring out the window as the rain falls, short on cash.
Shiwa no tsukekata mananderu binteejiI’m learning how to earn my wrinkles, just like a true vintage.
Kewashii michi hodo koufun suru zeThe steeper the road gets, the more it excites me.
Ore wa iranai sono adobanteejiI don’t need any head start or advantage.
Ano hi no shounen taishi o idakiI’m still that boy holding onto his grand ambitions,
Tsumiageta rekishi ga saibu ni yadoruand the history I’ve built lives on in every detail.
Yume ga aru janWe’ve still got our dreams, haven’t we?
Hitori ga doushita tomaru na don’t stopWho cares if you’re alone? Keep going, don’t stop.
Michi mayotte mo burasanai fookasuEven if I lose my way, I won’t lose my focus.
Koko ni nokoru no wa honmono no pureiyaaOnly the real players will remain standing here.
Maiku no mae kagami no mae towareru dare?Standing before the mic and the mirror, they ask, “Who are you?”
Ki ni shitenee ore wa ore ima ni wakareI couldn’t care less, I am who I am, and you’ll realize it soon enough.
Kogetsuita yashin wa ame ni mo tokenaiMy burning ambition won’t be washed away by the rain.
Kodomo no manma ja koko made korenaiI couldn’t have made it this far acting like a child.
Ugoiteru hari ni wa makasenaiI won’t just leave my fate to the ticking hands of time.
Kizamu ore ni kizamu ore niIt carves into me, engraving itself into who I am,
Chotto ya sotto ja ugokanai kabeas I face a wall that won’t budge easily.
My team douyou sezu netteru puranMy team stays calm, carefully crafting our master plan.
Karute ni kakenai atama no naka o ima kashi ni kakeNow I’m pouring the thoughts no doctor could diagnose into my lyrics.
Orera ikenai bakansuWe don’t have time to go on vacation,
Purasu to mainasu mo ookii toka chiisai toka mo naithere are no simple pluses or minuses, no big or small wins.
Shimitsuku ore kiiroi hadaThe struggle stains deep into my yellow skin,
Nankai mocountless times over.
Jinsei o nankai mo tsumiagerebaIf we just keep building up our lives, time and time again,
Mezasu saki yangu binteejimy goal is to become a young vintage.
Tarinai okane futteru madobeStaring out the window as the rain falls, short on cash.
