THURSDAY'S YOUTH - Sayonara (english translation)

Since their bass player announced that he's leaving soon they've been posting quite a few live videos of this track, so I thought I'd finally get around to translating it.





さよなら / Goodbye

Music and Lyrics: Shinoyama Kosei

I was living to save you, but
I wasn’t the one you wanted to be with
Since that day, I’ve lost my reason to live
You say you’ve found meaning in your life

That’s great

I dreamed of the future I abandoned when I was 15,
And when I tried to look back to it, it floated to the surface and disappeared again*

I don’t have anything precious to me anymore
But when I close my eyes and think back, I’m enveloped by a gentle warmth
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

Please be gentle with me, it’d be great if you could
Please stay connected with me, even if it’s just for now
Please love someone, it’s fine even if it's not me
Please live on, it’s fine even if it’s just until you die

I don’t have anything precious to me anymore
But when I close my eyes and think back, I’m enveloped by a gentle warmth
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

Be happy, okay?
Live peacefully, okay?
Although, from this point on, I’ll never forgive you**

I don’t have anything precious to me anymore
But when I close my eyes and think back, I’m enveloped by a gentle warmth
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye

I don’t have anything precious to me anymore
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

Morning is coming
Morning is coming

Notes:
*Not really sure about this line
**I think this is the only way it makes sense, but the “de” at the end is making me kind of worried that I’m reading this wrong

さよなら / Sayonara

Anata o sukuu tame ni ikite ita kedo
Anata o sukuu mono wa boku ja nakatta
Ano hi kara ikiru imi o boku wa ushinatta
Anata wa ikiru imi o mitsukete itta

Yokatta

Juu-go-sai de houki shita mirai o yume miru koto o
Furikaetta you ni mata ukande wa kieru

Taisetsu na mono nante boku ni wa mou nakatta yo
Me o tojite omoidasu yawaraka na nukumori o
Sayonara sayonara sayonara sayonara
Sayonara sayonara sayonara sayonara

Yasashikute kudasai dekireba de ii kara
Tsunaide ite kudasai ima dake de ii kara
Aishite ite kudasai boku ja nakute ii kara
Ikite ite kudasai shinu made de ii kara

Taisetsu na mono nante boku ni wa mou nakatta yo
Me o tojite omoidasu yawaraka na nukumori o
Sayonara sayonara sayonara sayonara
Sayonara sayonara sayonara sayonara

Shiawase ni natte ne

Kore kara mo eien ni yurusanaide yo

Taisetsu na mono nante boku ni wa mou nakatta yo
Me o tojite omoidasu yawaraka na nukumori o

Sayonara sayonara sayonara sayonara

Sayonara sayonara sayonara

Asa ga kuru yo

I also translated this Twitter exchange as an added bonus, because I thought it was pretty sweet (especially given the current circumstances). It's about Shinoyama, but I think it captures a lot of what I love about this band. Fuyukan Chie is a singer-songwriter that has been working with the band on various things - she featured on one of their songs, made a video for them, etc.

https://twitter.com/sudatch/status/1167810864067465216

Fuyukan Chie: I want to know why Shinoyama Kosei is loved, so people that like Shinoyama-san, won’t you tell me what is it that’s good about him? I just genuinely want to know what parts of him are charming.

Suda Yuuki: His songs, his voice, his words, his height, his sensitivity. He’s also a king of random trivia. And, around when I joined Suck a Stew Dry, he said “You’re a good bassist.”

Shinoyama Kosei: You’re a good bassist. (Now as well)

Fuyukan: His height… ! lol lol
Overall, these reasons are very like you, so they’re good.
Thanks for telling me!

KUROYUME - Suck Me! (english translation)

Suck Me!

Lyrics: Kiyoharu
Music: Hitoki

Dance and dancing, lenient downer
The upper dribbles spit
While the downer is in anguish

The blue’s mane, the pink’s corruption
Orange-coloured aural

Dance and dancing, forceful upper
It hits the downer’s throat
Let out your voice, upper

An aural so intense it could stir up the blue’s mane*

Suck me, suck me
Suck you, suck you
Suck me, suck me
Suck you, suck you

When you’ve got me soaking wet, piss off!**

Dance and dancing, bent backward downer
Use the tip of your tongue too, upper
Get down on your knees, downer

Even with just holding it in your mouth, my hips seem satisfied
Give me more of your specialty, that aural

Suck me, suck me
Suck you, suck you
Suck me, suck me
Suck you, suck you

When you’ve got me soaking wet, piss off!**

Suck me, suck me
Suck you, suck you
Suck me, suck me
Suck you, suck you

If swallowing it bothers you, piss off!

The blue’s mane, the pink’s body fluids
Orange-coloured aural

Suck me, suck me
Suck you, suck you
Suck me, suck me
Suck you, suck you

Rather than the worst type, the ones that feign ignorance,***

Suck me, suck me
Suck you, suck you
Suck me, suck me
Suck you, suck you

Inside the mouth of someone with loose morals,
When you’ve got me soaking wet, piss off!**

Notes:
*, **, ***Not sure about these lines

Suck Me!

DANCE AND DANCING nuruku DOWNER
Tsuba o tarasu UPPER
Modae-nagara DOWNER

BLUE no tategami
PINK no haitoku
ORANGE iro no AURAL

DANCE AND DANCING kitsuku UPPER
Nodo ni ataru DOWNER
Koe o dashite UPPER

BLUE no tategami kakimidasu kurai
Kudo-sugiru you na AURAL

SUCK ME SUCK ME SUCK YOU SUCK YOU
SUCK ME SUCK ME SUCK YOU SUCK YOU
Zubunure shite kuretara PISS OFF!

DANCE AND DANCING sotte DOWNER
Shita no saki mo UPPER
Hiza o tsuite DOWNER

Kuwaete dake de manzoku-ge na koshi
Motto tokui na AURAL

SUCK ME SUCK ME SUCK YOU SUCK YOU
SUCK ME SUCK ME SUCK YOU SUCK YOU
Zubunure shite kuretara
SUCK ME SUCK ME SUCK YOU SUCK YOU
SUCK ME SUCK ME SUCK YOU SUCK YOU

THURSDAY'S YOUTH - #Songwriter (english translation)

There are some lines I'm not too sure about, but I think the gist of what he's saying is pretty clear. I'm really happy that they did a live video for this track.



#ソングライター / #Songwriter

Music and Lyrics: Shinoyama Kosei

A heart with a low-level rebellious spirit
A Japanese person that’s withering away to nothing
Saying it’s filled with slander is my air raid shelter from SNS*

My soul must be defective
When I face any hardship, I think having none would be better
The ones still left on the shelf must be available at a bargain,
But the return period on mine has already expired

Won’t you stay for me? Please!
I still need your money

Looking at it from the opposite side, thinking something like that just seems the lowest – the worst – doesn’t it?**
Guys like that can just hurry up and disappear

I’m being loved for telling nothing but lies, right?***
The truth is, I hate everyone
But even so, I won’t flinch away from it
I’ll accept this world

Writing songs to play at festivals
It’s alright if you get fired up
I could hear voices from the area around me saying
“It’s no good if you complain”

Won’t you stay for me? Stay there
Because I still need your money

“Ah, that’s right, make sure to buy the CD after too!”
That copyright is what's keeping me alive

This kind of song is the result of my struggle
This song is the type of song I can write right now
Even so, it doesn’t matter
I’ll accept this music

I’m being loved for telling nothing but lies, right?***
The truth is, I hate everyone
But even so, I won’t flinch away from it
I’ll accept this world

I’m being loved for telling nothing but lies, right?***
The truth is, I hate everyone
But even so, I won’t flinch away from it
I’ll accept this world

I’m being loved for telling nothing but lies
The truth is, I hate everyone
But even so, I won’t flinch away from it
I’ll accept this world

What’s right, and
What’s wrong
An absurd songwriter

Let’s sing along pointlessly
Let’s lament this dying music scene
For every suitably laughable songwriter****

Notes:
*, ***, ****I’m not sure about these lines.
**Meaning, looking at his own attitude from the perspective of a fan

Suga Shikao - TWILIGHT ★ TWILIGHT (english translation)

Not really sure about some of these lines, but I think this has the gist of it, hopefully.



トワイライト★トワイライト / TWILIGHT ★ TWILIGHT

Music and Lyrics: Suga Shikao

Twilight
In the photo, we’re laughing a bit in monochrome
Twilight
I wonder if we stopped on that day?

Hey darling,
The wine of happiness,
It’s always been redder than my blood
It’s not something I’ve been able to drink a lot of*

Twilight
In the photo, we’re laughing a bit in monochrome
Twilight
Tomorrow, let’s graduate from this city

I’ve finished packing and,
My room’s already empty
When the cigarette goes into the empty can,
There’s the sound of its heat fizzling out**

Hey, what kind of colour does love have?
When I try to remember, it hurts a bit
If it’s the time when you were here with me,
It’s the colour of the morning on a day off from work
Is love a beautiful thing?
Deep in my heart, it hurts a bit
It’s just the same as beauty, hard to see and precious***

Traumerei
Your dainty hand took hold of me
Traumerei
A painful, awkward love sprouted to life

Hey, darling
It’s just convenience store coffee, but
For someone like me that’s become used to wet dreams,
It’s like I won't ever wake up****

I remember that sparkling day shamelessly
Even if I don’t have a direction to head towards,
The story is continuing
In this sparkling season,
In this city as well,
And probably inside you as well…
Even this glass that has been emptied,
One day it will be filled again

The headphones you gave me,
I wonder if I should put them on
I already can’t hear out of the right side,
So I’ll pick a new pair*****

Hey, what kind of colour does love have?
When I try to remember, it hurts a bit
If it’s the time when you were here with me,
It’s the colour of the morning on a day off from work
Is love a beautiful thing?
Deep in my heart, it hurts a bit
It’s just the same as beauty, hard to see and precious***

Notes:
*, **, ***, ****, *****I’m not really sure about these lines. They might be wrong.
