花人局/Hanamotase/Flower and Badger Game Translyrics!

I've really wanted to write lyrics for hanamotase for a while now, ever since I finished reading Tousaku (I'm sure anyone who's read it can understand why). I honestly think this is the saddest Yorushika song, and that's saying a lot when the entirety of Elma exists. Since I should be doing something else right now, I managed to write these in a couple hours. They're really messy, but I'm actually really proud of them this time. There's a lot of anaphora and epistrophe.

I keep it in my heart, the flower you gave me that day,

I was still in a daze as the dawn bore you away

I woke up in a room with you nowhere in sight

Feeling only your warmth as you left me behind

So last night I got drunk and forgot, and I think something happened, but I wouldn’t know

There’s just a feeling that’s left in my heart that my night hadn’t been quite so lonely

I’m hungover and can’t even think, so I might’ve imagined the feeling of warmth

And even if I don’t know in the end, well, I think that’s alright in its own way

In the sink, I see a toothbrush next to somebody’s cup, and a bottle of lotion

They don’t mean a thing, I don’t know them at all

The pillow smells like flowers from someone I knew

I kept it in my heart, the flower you gave me that day

Still I’m stuck in a daze as the dawn takes you away

I wake up in a room with you nowhere in sight

Feeling only your warmth as you left me behind

So last night I got drunk, and I think there was something important, but I can’t recall

Some kinda badger game sounds about right, but I don’t really care at the moment

My hangover is already gone, so I guess I can think but I’m not really sure

And being honest, I’d rather not know, so I think it’s alright if I don’t

A window with a blooming lavender, a dirt-covered sink, and an unfinished muffler

I don’t know why I don’t know them at all,

And suddenly the scent of the spring fills the room

The flower-badger game can take even storm-clouds away

And I’m left all alone in the fading of the day

Sparing me nothing but the last ray of light

In a daze, just like when you had left me behind

So last night I got drunk, but I think I remember a bit more than I had said before

I can recall that my life will go on, even if I feel lost when you’re gone

Even now, I remember the day when you showed me a flower and told me of its name

And so I kept it there deep in my heart, to remember when you went away

Surely then, tomorrow I’ll meet up with you

With that look upon your face like it’s nothing new

You’ll say that you’re sorry you took such a long time

I’ll laugh as I say “I’ve done that too”

Wanting nothing but those words, I’m waiting for you

As the sunset turns to night, I’m waiting for you

So that I don’t forget, I’ll write songs of flowers and love

All alone in the night, knowing words won’t be enough

And sleeping in a room where you’re far out of sight

Knowing only your warmth as you leave me behind

I’ve been a fool, I know, but I can’t let it go

For the flower you left me as springtime overflowed

I’m living in this town when you’re so far ahead

Knowing only the warmth that you left on our bed

Knowing only a flower and words left unsaid

Wanting nothing but those words, I’m waiting for you…

As the sunset turns to night, I’m waiting for you…

#yorushika #ヨルシカ #translyrics #I cry every time I listen to this song and I cried so much when I was writing these lyrics #Every time I hear suis say “ashita ni wa kitto modotte kuru” I just start sobbing #I know I can't truly recreate that feeling BUT I TRIED MY BEST #I can't stop thinking about the proverb this song is based off of

last song i listened to:

im being honest it was summer buzz by nika...! go listenn please their music is always so beautiful. i wanna do a cover of this song sometime soon... (probably not acapella this time bc i like the percussion too much) i have vague ideas for an mv that i am not sure i have the skill to execute but i wanna try anyway. i need to lay down some thumbnails but i see it in my brain it's similar in style to iyowa's imawanokiwa mv

alsoo this wasnt the question but im recommending this vocaduo song because its really pretty and i like it a lot

currently watching:

i watched spirited away for the first time this past week it was soo lovely...! a while back i went on a mall date with a friend and i bought a cute spirited away button down just because it was purple and i said to myself "well i haven't watched spirited away but if i watch it and like it that'll justify the purchase right?" and then forgot to watch it... but now i have, and i liked it, so i can wear that shirt without a heavy conscience 👍

currently reading:

not really "current" but i recently read the storytelling animal by jonathan gottschall for one of my classes next semester and i liked it! some parts i found irritating but it was still a fun read to pick apart. ive also been meaning to get back to reading the insomniacs after school manga... the anime was so so so wonderful but the only scanlation i've found for the manga doesn't look all that high quality ;w; i still wanna read it though

oh also JUST last week finished rereading heir's game by suspu, beautiful beautiful comic. andd last month i reread when the day comes by omyo which is my favorite webtoon of alllll time ever. sorry for being a webtoon guy i promise i do it with a distinct theme-understanding air 💜

current obsession:

i have been working for like a month on english translyrics for eimin no susume by narumiya. this isnt my first attempt at writing translyrics (i have tried so many times to write translyrics for itte by yorushika but i think that song's just impossible to translate well in general) but it is the first time ive gotten anywhere close to finishing them... im not as mindblowingly depressed as i was a few weeks ago so im not actually sure i'll still want to cover the song by the time i finish these lyrics but i wanna see it through to the end! and its a fun song to sing anyhow (speaking of covers ive been sitting on this 90% complete cover for a while that i just need to finish recording harmonies on..... maybe i'll go do that after i post this)

also my mom made egg tarts yesterday and they are so awesome and tasty. obsessed with those for sure as well

this isn't really an obsession but i also want to mention i started gnosia a week or so ago at the recommendation of a friend, i kind of got off on a rocky start with it because it wasn't what i was expecting (i am a diehard fan of hidden role games but the singleplayer gameplay just does not scratch that same itch for me) but once i got past that i really started liking it...! i haven't played in a few days but i wanna get back to it
