GLAY - Run (romaji only)



Run

Music and Lyrics: TERU

Namida tsutau hoho o nugui
Hashiru hashiru hashiru

Katai tobira o muriyari kojiakete
Susuri naku kimi o mitsukedasetara
Itsuka no egao torimodoseru no ka na?
Soshite bokura mata warai-aeru no ka na?

Ooku motome-sugitemo
Munashikunaru toki ga atta…

Hareta sora ni mirai kasane
Kinou o sutete asu o miage
Namida tsutau hoho o nugui
Hashiru hashiru hashiru

Iki o kirashita toki ni
Kokyuu o ishiki suru you ni
Kurushimi no naka de bokura wa
Jibun no koto o rikai shi-hajimeru

Hareta sora ni mirai kasane
Kinou o sutete asu o miage
Namida tsutau hoho o nugui
Hashiru hashiru hashiru

Aoi sora ni nakete shimau
Itsuka hareta sora no you ni
Motto motto egao ni naritai

Dakara hashiri-tsuzukeru

The Birthday - Baby You Can (english translation)

This translation is probably pretty bad, but this is one of my favourite Chiba songs, and I think knowing even just generally what it's about makes it sound even better. It's the perfect soundtrack for walking around on a sunny day.



Baby You Can

Lyrics: Chiba Yusuke
Music: The Birthday

Aimless like the wind*
Let’s go on a journey, just like this
There’s something over there, isn’t there?
On the other side of the horizon
No matter how many laps we do
There’s only one planet

When we get tired and reach the end, once in a while it’s okay to stop
Open the can
And let’s drink some beer or something
“Happy birthday to you” to a certain someone, somewhere

I say it’s okay if you want to turn back
You don’t need to explain
Because I know there’s no way I’ll understand if I hear why**
The puzzle can’t be solved, but that’s why it’s a puzzle, isn’t it?

The old person with the radio cassette hanging from their neck’s humming
Somehow sounds like Mozart
It made me happy and I started walking again

I’ve gotten tired of the excitement of always partying
Let’s go open up an air hole, baby
No matter how many laps we do
There’s only one planet

Baby you can,
Baby you can,
Yeah!

The future is out there somewhere
The last train has already left
But I still have my memories, right?***
We’re still not doing anything, are we?****

Oh baby, let’s go look for moon rocks

Notes:
*I was stuck on this line, so I asked someone and they said it's something like the person doesn't know where to go or what to do
**, ***, ****Not sure about these lines at all.

Baby You Can

Kaze ni natta kaze kono manma tabi shiyou
Ate nanka nee yo chiheisen no mukou
Nan shuu de mo shite yaru yo kono hoshi hitotsu

Kutabire hatetara tama ni wa tomarya ii
Kanzume o akete BIIRU de mo nonde
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU
Dokka no dareka-san ni

Furikaetta tte ii
Setsumei wa iranai
Kiita tte wakarikkonai no sa datte
Nazo wa tokenai kara nazo nan darou ga

kubi kara RAJIKASE burasageta roujin no
Hanauta wa MOOTSARUTO no nantoka
Ore wa ureshiku natte mata arukidashita

Ukareppanashi no kyousou wa mou akita
Kazaana o ake ni Yukouze BABY
Nan shuu de mo shite yaru yo kono hoshi hitotsu

BABY YOU CAN
BABY YOU CAN
YEAH!
BABY YOU CAN
BABY YOU CAN
YEAH!
BABY YOU CAN
BABY YOU CAN

Mirai wa doko ni aru
Saishuu ressha wa mou icchimatta
Omoide wa mada motteru no ka
Oretachi wa mada nanimo shite nee yo

OH BABY tsuki no ishi hiroi ni yukouze

blog translation: Suganami Eijun - Sept. 5, 2012

I only did the first half of this because I don't understand enough of the rest. Reading this made me feel a lot better about not getting what was going on in Symphonia, though. :)

Sept. 5, 2012 - “I have to express that I don’t know what I want to say”

The lyrics to “Symphonia” off Liv Squall are like a combination of scattered bits of about four songs’ lyrics. I decided to gather up phrases and try to form them into one set of lyrics.

That’s why it passes through space and time and goes in and out of phrases from different times in my life. For example, the phrase “An etude for my dying moment” came to me while I was watching the movie “Okuribito” in a theatre, while “the existence of a prodigious love that will overcome disaster” was inspired by a moment when I saw my friend’s child smiling.

Well, if you’re able to enjoy it, I’m happy.

Now then, today I’m talking about “things I want to say” and “words”. There was an interesting story in Tatsuru Uchida’s book “Konna Nihon de Yokatta ne”. ...

blog translation: Ubukata Shinichi - Dec. 7, 2012

Dec. 7, 2012 - Another Song

Today I finished recording the guitar for another new song.
...(<- sentence I didn't understand)
It's a luxurious style of recording, but I get to really focus on each song, which feels good. Although, I don't think you guys will be able to listen to it for a while. Wait for it!

Also, Yoshii Kazuya-san's tour is starting up again.
Today is this person.

Picture

The bassist, Jungo-san. 

If you include his hair, he's almost 190 cm tall, so I tried to take the picture using perspective. Because if we stood next to each other I'd look like a kid.

Jungo-san also plays with PETROLZ. He's a bassist with a natural, heavy, wicked groove. He's got the evil feel you need for rock.  
Combined with Kichida-san from Napolitans as well, he's perfect.* Our rhythm section is an inpenetrable fortress.

Tomorrow will be a .HEARTS tour show in Fukuyama.
