Eine Kleine [Kenshi Yonezu]

Eine Kleine - English translation

As existing translations don't particularly reflect the ideas I used for my own adaptation into English, I decided to translate it as a reference for others.

Eine Kleine

I'm truly so glad to have met you And yet it all remains as sad as it's ever been Now, these painfully happy memories that I harbor Take us towards the farewell they'll inevitably bring about

If I were to live taking somebody else's place, Then, I'd much rather become a pebble Thus, there would be no misunderstandings nor deceit, And even you wouldn't take notice of me

Although I'd like to convey all of my thoughts to you, I say I have secrets I can't tell anyone, and wind up lying instead I'm so much more spineless than you could ever think me to be, So why is it, then?

If you could remain, despite my torn seams and unyielding woes, Just how glad I would be to say "It's alright" with a smile? As everything before my eyes seems to blur and melt away, Even a downpour of miracles would come short To you having called my name

If you were to lose your place and wander, Then, perhaps, someone else should take my place Now, as we put on a carefully crafted, imperceptible pretense, We'll surely laugh as it all plays out over again

As much as I vow and as much as I pray, I only have pitiful dreams In which the slightest strain winds swallowing you up I'm infinitely more worthless than you could ever think me to be, So why is it, then?

Please, may I overcome the nights I've never, ever been able to get through So that we may carry on to the days where we link our hands together In order to see brilliant colors, even through my closed eyelids, What could I possibly do? Would you let me call your name?

From the very moment I was born, I bawled out "I want to disappear now" And ever since, I'd been looking For the one I'd meet someday, For none other than you

If you could remain, despite my torn seams and unyielding woes, Just how glad I would be to say "It's alright" with a smile? As everything before my eyes seems to blur and melt away, Even a downpour of miracles would come short To you having called my name

Would you let me call your name?

will you translate Afterglow's new songs from their album? 🥹

From Stay Glow? So let's see, that should be:

Trouble Joyful!!

Off we go.

Is that correct? I'd be happy to!

Edit: Dug a bit further, made a table including singles. I'll be translating oldest songs first.

orion

Your fingers, and that heart and eyes of yours Seem so dazzling that they make me a bit unsteady on some nights It came down so unexpectedly, that warmth Of the iridescent stars I swallowed down Like bursting sparks, it wound me up ever so tightly And with that, I learned to walk forward one more time

God above, please answer me, Even just a sign will do! I want to be tied right next to you Just like that constellation, So that we'll never come apart again!

Even in my dreams, my heart is never at its best So through my grievances and tears, I said to pay it no mind Pulling a thread from an unraveling sleeve, we tried weaving a constellation on a whim Using our fingers as the stars It came out so misshapen that we just had to laugh! If you were here right now, that much alone would do

Even though now I can express my love In spite of any difficulty, It still rings out much too weakly In the midst of this dawn in which I could merely Gaze into the pale color of your eyes

A voice like unblemished porcelain Broke through the essence of the winter And within my heart, I subdued the silently raging storm From the depths of the darkness Glistening stars came raining down from above, Shining so bright that I was nearly brought to tears As I beheld them

God above, please answer me, Even just a sign will do! I want to be tied right next to you Just like this constellation, So that we'll never come apart again!

Hey just wanted to ask you, how do you feel about people editing your translations? Because I saw someone add your Engeki translation on the Project SEKAI wiki, and then another user came in to edit parts of it (by changing some of the wording and sentence structures)

I’d rather not, since I have a wiki profile where people can just contact me directly. But for Engeki I was quite certain it wouldn’t be a problem, since I had actually been waiting for the page to be created to add mine, and someone beat me to it so I didn’t… So I’m quite surprised it’s in now?

Theater

Once upon a time, somebody told me That we all have a role to play We share what we’re lacking and, Making up for each other, live life in that way If that's the case, should my own blanks Not be filled in by somebody else? Can that "somebody" hear me?

Somebody told somebody else, (1) That this was their own role to play "I say these words out of love, For we all live life in that way” I was glad to see that joyful expression, So I desperately played my part, To the point of forgetting how to even breathe

My childhood backpack was carelessly thrown away In a back alley dumpster Since when did I get into the habit Of worrying about my surroundings even as I smiled? If I could have but a single wish Come true, what I would like Is for this absurd theater to be over

I've been living life the wrong way Now that my collar's been taken off, Where on Earth am I supposed to go? I simply wanted a certain sense of self God above, is this the price I am to pay? All of this, it’s all far too much

Well, never mind that, hurry up And put an end to it

演劇

路地裏のごみ置き場 雑に捨てられたランドセル 笑う時すら周りを気にする癖は いつからだったっけ もしも願いがただひとつだけ 叶うならば終わらせたいんだ この　ふざけた演劇を rojiura no gomi okiba zatsu ni suterareta randoseru warau toki sura mawari o ki ni suru kuse wa itsu kara dattakke moshimo negai ni wa tada hitotsu dake kanau naraba owarasetainda kono fuzaketa engeki o

Notes:

While the first line could technically be translated without a subject, that phrasing is what one would use to say somebody told them something. I thought it was interesting in conjunction with the line marked as (1), as the person this is being told to is still the same, and yet it has lost its self and just become a “somebody” now.

Overthrow (1)

Don't categorize the life Of the cast outside of the white line so easily (2) Having misplaced my textbooks somewhere, With my knees scraped, I put my hands together (3)

Humans made out to a narrow average Maintain the status quo as a buffer (4) A life of convenience is equivalent to death I stretched my hands out into the backstreets

There's no way around it, how many times have I conceded? I want to have certainty, but I can't have certainty (5) Spit out that quivering voice of yours Can I break apart? Go and break me apart Will it be alright to let things change?

I Hate it, hate it, hate it, hate it, it’s awful! (6) Hate it, hate it, I mean it!  I'll crawl back up again and again Licking my wounds with a smile, so bring on the fight!

Hate it, hate it, hate it, hate it so much! Hate it, hate it, aren’t you convinced? Cross out and get rid of all those regretful days (7) With that vivid bad favor of yours! (8)

I'm not bowing my head, I'm not kneeling down, I'm not even dreaming of surrender The inside of my body is in your care, oh unknown past and future (9) This dog crouching on all fours doesn't know when to give up

Hey now, this is not how it's gotta go Don't just laugh and settle for failure I’m flipping the record over, my heart's burning up (10)

Hey, how many times did you lie throughout your life?  I want to have honesty, but I can't have honesty The unbelievable is coming to be Can I break apart? Go and break me apart It will be alright to let things change (11)

I Hate it, hate it, hate it, hate it, it’s awful!  Hate it, hate it, I mean it!  I'll crawl back up again and again Licking my wounds with a smile, so bring on the fight!

Hate it, hate it, hate it, it’s awful! Hate it, hate it, aren’t you convinced? Cross out and get rid of all those regretful days With that vivid bad favor of yours!

Inmmersed in stunning rich colors until the moment life scatters away,  The unstoppable BPM's light, that light is waiting!

Notes:

Lit. “the low overcomes the high.” A term that gained prevalence during the Warring States, where a precedent for vassals and peasants overthrowing the daimyou was established. Later on, used in regards to military officers engaging in principled disobedience towards their superiors based moral considerations.

“White line” can mean the anatomical term linea alba.

Lit. “pressed my hands together in prayer.” While the gesture is the same, the term is related to Hinduism, Buddhism, Shinto, and other East Asian religions, rather than Christianity.

This and above lines inverted for clarity.

The reason for translating 正しくありたい正しくあれない (and 素直でありたい素直であれない in section C) in this manner is twofold – firstly, while the person wishing for but unable to have certainty and honesty is the singer, whom it’s expected from is open to interpretation (any first, second, or third person subject works); secondly, to more easily allow for the parallel sentence structure used between both lines.

“It” replaceable by any first, second, or third person subject; deliberately kept neutral.

“Cross mark, cross out” (バツ) is homophonous with “punish, punishment” (罰). While the PV does not spell out either word, it’s depicted as a × mark instead. Using the meaning of punishment, could read “Punish me and get rid of all those regretful days.”

This and above lines inverted for clarity.

While “inside of one’s body” is a known and accepted translation, the term 五臓六府 is strictly anatomical and refers to the zang-fu organs (five viscera and six internal organs) of traditional Chinese medicine.

The term 心臓 refers strictly to the anatomical heart and is unrelated to personality, disposition, or emotions.

The meaning is changed between the first and second iteration due to the use of the question mark – first, lit. “Is it alright to let things change?”; second, lit. “It will be alright to let things change.”

A personal note - I felt this song was deliberately going for vagueness in many aspects, which makes sense in the context of the event it’s tied to. A lot of the choices to avoid establishing a subject are made on this basis.

Miniature Garden’s Coral

I picked up the future that washed up on the sandy beach To piece it together And so, its brilliance Cast a shadow over this place

I keep on walking without discerning why, Grasping onto something that felt so fluttery And somewhat daunting

After my every single breath Turned into a sigh, I indulged a little in the sound of the waves

Right where the blue sky ends and the night sky begins, I was about to succumb The blurry coral remains tinged with orange Am I able to go on singing this song?

I stretched my hands out to the bottom of the sea Because somebody had told me   That therein lied what I was lacking

Even if I covered my ears, I'd still be able to overhear it, So I locked up and shut my eyes

Drifting at the mercy of my dreams Is an indelible stain I want to dilute I was diving into the deep Suffering, agonizing and in pain, putting the blame on somebody else I'll just keep on sinking, unable to sing this song

I seized the wavering Shadow from that day with my cold hands

Right where the blue sky ends and the night sky begins, I was about to succumb The blurry coral remains tinged with orange For me to be singing this song...

Would that be alright?

If wishes went unfulfilled, a world couldn't have started In which I had come to meet you The miniature garden's coral remains dazzled by the future I'll show you a smile by singing this song

砂浜に流れ着く未来 拾い集めて繋いでく それはきらきらで 此処に影を落とすの sunahama ni nagaretsuku mirai hiroi atsumete tsunaideku sore wa kirakira de koko ni kage o otosu no

Give Me Your Night

All along, I’d been wanting to tell you. About the nights that I’ve lost It doesn’t sadden me, And though I miss them all the same, that’s alright with me.

On sleepless nights, once the lights are all out, I try to lose myself in a cup of coffee that’s gone cold. And if I drop the needle on that record I’ve been borrowing, I’ll be able to dance with these pathetic steps of mine!

All along, all along, I’d been longing for the dawn of a new day, for a “today” that won’t fade away.

Even if tonight they were to sink into today’s night, I’m sure that the lights that shine upon the shadows of the city Seemed more gentle than yesterday, so I’ll close my eyes. And head to sleep.

Give me your night

All along, all along, I’d been wanting to hear it. The sound of laughter in the dawn of a new day!

Although tonight, even today’s night will be coming to an end.

I’ll turn the lights on low, cast my eyes down, And pour the still cold coffee down my throat. If my tears fall on that record I’ve been borrowing, Go ahead and laugh at my pathetic self once more.

I’m sure that the lights that shine upon the shadows of the city seemed more gentle than yesterday, so Today, I can sleep embraced in warmth.

Give me your night

灯りは小さく点けたまま目を伏せて、 冷めたままの珈琲を、喉に流して。 借りたままだったレコードに、涙が零れたら、 情けない僕をまた、笑ってくれ。 akari wa chiisaku tsuketa mama me o fusete, sameta mama no koohii o, nodo ni nagashite. karita mama datta rekoodo ni, namida ga koboretara, nasakenai boku o mata, waratte kure.

The Labyrinth of Time

This is a mysterious labyrinth of time That awakens closed-off memories Why am I here? Why is it me?  Hollow answers dance all around me Even a dream would suffice If the past could be rewritten, Even I could do the unthinkable

I still remember our first encounter On that day we met, The breeze felt ever so gentle (I feel something coming) I’d just met you, but I missed you nonetheless I wonder if you also felt that way about me  Ever since then, every day has been joyful And wistful And just a little bit lonesome My heart is full of those feelings My heart is full with your name

025-8- and S04 Can you hear my voice?  I still wish for you to tell me more About the countless stars And your countless facets

025-8- and S04 Does my voice reach you?  I still wish to hear more from you About the countless stars  And countless songs

We walked our separate paths While sharing the very same dream So we were never on our own

But ever since I lost you,  I can’t help but find you everywhere The scent of your hair, your retreating silhouette...

Ever since then, every day has been beautiful And boisterous And just a little bit lonesome It’s because we’re together That the stars are radiant, That the sea is deep,  And that the sky is high

021-5- and F09 Can you hear my voice? I still wish for you to tell me more About the countless stars And your countless facets

021-5- and F09 Does my voice reach you? I still wish to hear more from you About the countless stars And countless songs

What do you think of me now, I wonder?  Did I become any stronger? I wish for you to softly tell me about it

When I was still In love with God

021-5- and F09 I never expected... 

021-5- and F09 Does my voice reach you? 

021-5-  and F09 F09 Does my voice reach you?  F09 I still wish to hear more from you About the countless stars And your countless facets

When I was still  025-8- and S04 Does my voice reach you? In love with God I still wish to hear more from you About the countless stars

025-8- and S04 (025-8- and S04) Does my voice reach you? 025-8- and S04 (025-8- and S04) I still want to hear more from you

025-8- and S04 S04 Does my voice reach you? S04 I wish for you to feel it some more And for you to be with me right now

025-8- and S04 S04 Does my voice reach you? May it reach you I wish for you to feel it some more

And for you to be with me right now And for you to be with me right now (and for you to be with me right now) And for you to be with me right now (and for you to be with me right now)

An Innate Coward

Let me tell you what I've been thinking of for a very long time If we could just be friends again, I'd ask for nothing more If that's alright with you, it's alright with me too I'm just a liar, and this is the love song of insincere words I spat out 

Today was a beautiful day with a pouring rain Yesterday, I enjoyed a leisurely day to the fullest I can't say that I've thought about you even once Fine, truth be told, I did think about you some

It just keeps my head spinning Like a merry-go-round

You gave me so much love, that it seems to spill out of my hands Where should I throw it all away?  I have no need for something  That will come to an end 

Let me tell you what I've been thinking of for a very long time Even words that are shapeless are still in plain sight There are things I don't know of and it just drives me mad Are my dangling feelings beautiful or filthy? I just can't tell, and I don't know where to throw them away

Until I can figure out what's hidden in what's hidden behind those words Waiting doesn't sound that bad at all

You keep on going while I've come to a stop How can I begin to close this growing distance between us? I still can't say that sincerely I'm just an innate coward The love I have for you seems to spill out of my hands Who else could I even give it to? There's just no way I could find somebody else that easily I guess I'll keep waiting Is that alright?

I love your way! [Afterglow]

Sasanqua

Our bonds will bloom with a sasanqua

"Don't change or I'll lose sight of you," I selfishly thought (Oh-) Once I couldn't catch up (Oh-) To you I don't like this...

When my real (voice) reached you, My heart (warmly) replied And every worry and impatience melted away Where is our "same as always"? I'm not being myself

On that day, everything started (Our present fate) With a sasanqua Our authentic "cool" (Took form with that voice) Let's stay the same as always "Looking forward to our future~."

(Oh, oh, at the same place as always) (Oh, oh, with the same members as always)

I can't fool you~ Everyone's gentle eyes Can see right through me (Oh-) And cherish (Oh-) My feelings Even moreso than myself

When I could see (the situation) clearly I had (I wished for) a change of heart From now on, I want to laugh and cry, Wherever and whenever, with you by my side That one wish won't change

At that time, because we met by chance, We found (our present fate) No matter how the days went by, (You absolutely) did not wither "I'm the one who should thank you."

...It's all right now.

(Always you) I am here (Always me) You are here That much is enough to make me happy

(I've decided to stop trying) To catch up (to you)

(There is nothing) More important than this place With that as my answer, (I want to protect it)

Our authentic "cool" (Took form with that voice) Let's stay the same as always "Looking forward to our future~."

(Oh, oh, at the same place as always) I'll keep on singing (Oh, oh, with the same members as always)

Itsumo Doori no Brand new days

What should have been the same old scenery Seemed a bit dazzling for some reason The air I breathe in feels good, So I walk with a light and rhythmic step

(Wow-oh) Anticipation seems to have mixed (Wow-oh) Into my racing pulse (at some point) Yes, the changes adding up right here (La-la-la) Yes, I want to feel them before anything else

Brand new days are the same as always We’ll touch changing days at an unchanging distance Ah... Suddenly saying I'm happy, I embraced these feelings as the tears welled up

Start! Everyone, (Wow-oh) Start! Together with me, (Wow-oh) A certain (We can't stop! La-la-la) Miracle (Let's have fun! La-la-la) Created anew, (Oh, excited!) we’ll make it happen now!

The sound of the voice I’d gotten used to Was a bit shrill and breathless for some reason The colors that bloomed in the suspended words Warmed my heart and allowed me to dream

(Wow-oh) Little by little, today glimmers (Wow-oh) Even more than yesterday (from now on) Yes, from strenghts to faults, and even trivial things (La-la-la) Yes, I want to see them before anything else

Brand new days are the same as always We’ll go through changing days at an unchanging distance Ah... Because I'm alive right now, I bit my lip as a boundless joy welled up

Best! Everyone, (Wow-oh) Best! Together with me, (Wow-oh) A certain (We can't stop! La-la-la) Our path (Let's have fun! La-la-la) Created anew, (Oh, excited!) we’ll write it now!

Brand new days are the same as always We’ll touch changing days at an unchanging distance Ah... Suddenly saying I'm happy, I embraced these feelings as the tears welled up

Start! Everyone, (Wow-oh) Start! Together with me, (Wow-oh) A certain (We can't stop! La-la-la) Miracle (Let's have fun! La-la-la) Created anew, (Oh, excited!) we’ll make it happen now!

We can do it! Go! Go! Go! ×4 "Let’s start!!!!!"

Easy come, Easy go!

(Wow wo wow)

You might be unlike someone else, but even so, (You might compare yourself to them) against your better judgement You can't see yourself from your own eyes, So (you become curious), let it go!

I'm just spinning around aimlessly, but (Oh, oh) You’ll respond with all your might (Oh, oh) Leave it all to me when you’re in trouble! That's the good thing about you

Easy come, Easy go! Every day is challenging, so let’s aim to understand each other! By thinking of others wholeheartedly, those feelings Will save somebody 

It was natural that the hurdles in our dreams Would be set so high (they really are) For starters, in order to leap We've gotta (have some failures), That's a given!

I'm a bit of a scatterbrain, but (Oh, oh) There's nothing wrong with that (Oh, oh) I want to be of help! That's the good thing about you

Easy come, Easy go! We can live earnestly because of your dazzling radiance, so Simply by being together, however many times, We'll be all right — thank you

(Wow wo wow)

Let’s increase our potential Even more~! Even more~!  Going the limits every day and every night! We can be even cooler than we are now That's Easy come, Easy go Hey, hey, hoh~!

Easy come, Easy go! Every day is challenging, so let’s aim to understand each other! By thinking of others wholeheartedly, those feelings Will save somebody

(Wow wo wow)

ON YOUR MARK

Never look back again; look straight ahead and charge forward The parts of the dreams we believed in Never (Yes!) mind (Yes!) Will become strengths I know that I’m supported by kindness and trust without fail, That’s what inconditional bonds are

We’ll keep on being wounded (Wow wow wow) By mere words (Wow wow wow); There’ll still be days when we hurt ourselves I trust that in those moments (Absolutely) I’ll pry open my weakness (Let your honest feelings pour out), And challenge it (So that tomorrow can be the same) To protect “us”! (With you) On your mark, Get set, Go!!!

“Get ready?” Let your voices soar high, Strike up the Band! With eyes full of determination (We go!), Seize our destiny! On that day, (Hi!) we understood (Hi!) That the meaning (Hi!) of the sky (Hi!) was somewhat wistful That was precious, forevermore (I know!), As it’s unparalleled in the world

Never look down again; if we shout out wishing to gaze up Our hearts will brighten Never (Yes!) end (Yes!) They’ll become aspirations As our pulse quickens, That’s what inconditional bonds are

We’d been reckless (Wow wow wow) About pitfalls in the past (Wow wow wow) There’s poison in sweet things, So because of that, I’ll wipe off my tears (Cover them up with a laughing voice) Go forth (So that tomorrow can be the same) To protect “us”! (With you) On your mark, Get set, Go!!!

“Get ready?” However many challenges we face, Strike up the Band! With our potential at full throttle, (We go!) We’ll go against them earnestly On that day, (Hi!) we could see (Hi!) The color (Hi!) of the sky (Hi!) was somewhat radiant That was precious, forevermore (You know!), As it’s unparalleled in the world

“Get ready?” Make your passion wake up this era, Strike up the Band! Doing our very best, (We go!) We’ll show the world

“Get ready?” Let your voices soar high, Strike up the Band! With eyes full of determination (We go!), Seize our destiny! On that day, (Hi!) we understood (Hi!) The meaning (Hi!) of the sky (Hi!) was somewhat wistful That was precious, forevermore (I know!), As it’s unparalleled in the world I’ll protect it forever

Rumbling Memory

It all started back then,  We stretched out our arms to hold each other With a shy smile; Our very own world

With our voices, gestures, and manner of speech unchanged, This tender (Ha-a) affection (Ha-a) Remains right beside us today The gentle (Ha-a) story (Ha-a) Drawn by the fate that holds us Will take us to the light

As our expressions change with age, The blooming memories paint over my heart

Rumbling memory Every single day Rumbling memory Keeps overflowing with smiles Because our past and our present and our future (Ha-a...) Are all connected, Let's keep on singing... About our (one and only) unbreakable bond

Our eyes that haven't stopped shining since back then Draw (Ha-a) a gentle arc (Ha-a) And we gently hold each other's hands Huddling together, our passionate thoughts Collide (Ha-a) and weave (Ha-a) Irrepleaceable words

When we listened carefully, we could hear That from here on out, music would always be with us

Rumbling memory Throughout every season, Rumbling memory There is joy in our hearts Because our past and our present and our future (Ha-a...) Are something that can't be torn apart, Let's keep on protecting... Our (one and only) treasured sky Now, for eternity

This world has always Firmly welcomed us with kindness

Rumbling memory Every single day Rumbling memory Keeps overflowing with smiles Because our past and our present and our future (Ha-a...) Are all connected, Let's keep on singing About our (one and only) unbreakable bond
