Yellow Studs - Hey, mama (english translation)

This is a song from Yellow Studs' acoustic side project Team GARAKUTA that they re-recorded and released on the album ALARM.



ヘイママ / Hey, mama

Music and Lyrics: Taichi Nomura

My precious piano is covered in dust
What am I doing?
Recently, I've started to wonder whether my meeting with music was a good thing

Hey, mama
Hey, mama
Won't you praise me again?
Hey, mama
Hey, mama
Won't you praise me like you used to all those years ago?

Those precious photos are all covered in dust
What should I do?
Recently, I've started to wonder whether my meeting with music was a good thing

Hey, grandma
Hey, grandma
Won't you praise me again?
Hey, grandma
Hey, grandma
Won't you praise me like you used to all those years ago?

Hey, mama
Hey, grandma
Won't you praise me again?
Hey, mama
Hey, grandma
Won't you praise me like you used to all those years ago?

Yellow Studs - Brake (romaji only)

So, after doing lyrics from that umbrella booklet I've realized why the Yellow Studs ones take so long; the font is tiny. I actually don't suck that bad at reading kanji. Yes! :)

Yellow Studs - Silece (english translation)

This is probably not the most accurate translation, so don't take my word for it if something sounds off, but I think the basic idea is there.

サイレース / Silece*

Music and Lyrics: Taichi Nomura

It’s Halloween in the city
The pumpkins are laughing
More importantly than that kind of thing**
Work is piling up

Silece, without you
I can’t sleep
Hurry up and dissolve for me

It’s Halloween in the city
The pumpkins are shining
My umbrella was stolen, and we got wet
Should we go home?

Silece
I crunch it between my teeth
Let’s go to sleep
Hurry up and dissolve for me

Shibuya is doing great business with cute costumes
It feels like we’re getting a little older

Halloween
What should we do?
Is it okay to mess around?
Is it okay to decorate?

Well, goodnight

Tomorrow as well, let’s walk

So we can decorate

So we can laugh

Notes:
*So, I wasn’t paying attention and I read the title as “Silence” when I first listened to this song. It’s “Silece”, which is apparently a name used in Japan for Rohypnol. Definitely sounds much darker after finding that out.

From Wikipedia: “In Japan, flunitrazepam is marketed by Japanese pharmaceutical company Chugai under the tradename Rohypnol, by Japanese pharmaceutical company Eisai under the name of Silece and by some manufacturers as generic drugs. Flunitrazepam is indicated for the treatment of insomnia as well as used for preanesthetic medication.”

**I’m not sure about this

サイレース / SAIREESU

Machi ja HAROUIN
Kabocha ga waratte iru
Sonna koto yori mo
Shigoto ga yamazumi

SAIREESU, omae nashi ja
Nemure ya shinai
Hayaku tokete okure

Machi wa HAROUIN
Kabocha ga hikatteru
Kasa ga mesumareta
Nurete kaerou ka

SAIREESU

Nemuri ni tsukou
Hayaku tokete okure

Kawaii ishou de shibuya wa nigiwatteru
Bokura wa sukoshi furoku natteru-rashii

HAROUIN
Nani o shitara ii n dai?
Odokerya ii no kai?
Kazarya ii no kai?

Mou oyasumi

Yellow Studs - Bird (english translation)

Nothing like trying to translate lyrics you can't use Rikaichan on to show you how little kanji you really know. That first verse was so hard to figure out. I'm still not sure some of those lines are right. The English translation is also quite sketchy.

That being said, this is a beautiful song.



バード / Bird

Music and Lyrics: Taichi Nomura

I open the creaky door to number 408
And throw my worn-out, ___* shoes off to the side
On top of the table there’s a plate, jam and bills
They’re probably going to turn my water off soon too

Hey bird
Should I go on like this?
Hey bird
Is my goal far away?
Hey bird
Am I going crazy?**
Hey bird
Little by little, I’ll get there

When I was being careful, I was still standing in this sort of place
I need an academic background and qualifications, don’t I?
Even if I’m like this, can you keep making that sound for me forever?
Even if it’s an incredibly monotonous melody, it’s fine

Hey bird
Should I go on like this?
Hey bird
Is my goal far away?
Hey bird
Am I going crazy?
Hey bird
Little by little, I’ll get there

Hey bird
Should I go on like this?
Hey bird
Is my goal far away?
Hey bird
Am I going crazy?
Hey bird
Little by little, I’ll get there

Notes:
*I can’t figure out what “soko no aita” means. I’ve googled it and run it through dictionaries, but I have no idea.
**This might be wrong as well. Maybe like "Where am I going wrong?" I don't know.
