T/ssue - Tokyo city (english translation)

I was kind of curious about this song. T/ssue aren't shy about mentioning the fact that they're from Nagoya, so I thought it was funny that they were writing about Tokyo.

The English translation I did is kind of sketchy. I'm fairly certain that what I have for at least the first line I starred is very wrong. If anyone has a correction for that, or any of the other lines, it would be greatly appreciated.


東京city / Tokyo city

Music and Lyrics: Sone Ichirou

You started to lose your way on the path,
So you started to become too cautious,
And things aren't going well, are they?
You’re listening to the sound of cars,
Being poisoned by exhaust fumes,
But every day, you’re giving your all
Shining brighter than the stars up in the sky in a corner of this city

In Tokyo,
On the Tokyo Expressway,
If it feels like the city lights are blocking your view,
Don’t say a word
I’ll light up your days
Because you can hold on tight to this song

I can see the ruins of the star I looked up at when I was a child
The sky from that time has disappeared, hasn’t it?
One by one, we’re each going to settle on our way of life
You will too
You will too

Even though it’s cruel, time passes by,
That crowd of people will be left behind
I don't think there's any sort of deadline when you need to throw your dreams away*

In Tokyo,
On the Tokyo Expressway,
If it feels like the city lights are blocking your view,
Don’t say a word
I’ll light up your days
Because you can hold on tight to this song

In Tokyo,
On the Tokyo Expressway,
This burning emotion will light up your tomorrow
So don’t say a word
I’ll be supporting you from the bottom of my heart
While you’re in Tokyo City**

Notes:
*I’m fairly certain that this is very wrong
**It just says “Tokyo City”, but I assume this is what is being implied?

東京city / Toukyou CITY

Mayotte kita michi dakara
Shinchou ni nari-sugite,
Nakanaka umaku ikanai na
Kuruma no oto,
HaiGASU chuudoku,
Zenryoku no mainichi wa
Sora ni aru hoshi yori kagayaku toshi no katasumi de

Toukyou,
Shuto-kou,
Machi no akari ga
Anata no shikai o saegiru you nara
Nanimo iwanaide
Hibi terasu
Kono uta ga yorisotte yuku kara

Osanaikoro ni mita hoshi no zangai
Ano koro no sora wa kiete shimatta no
Tsugitsugi to ikiru michi wa kimaru yo
Kimi mo
Kimi mo

Mujou ni mo toki wa sugite
Torinokosarete yuku hitobito no mure
Sono yume o suteru kigen na do doko ni mo nai darou

Toukyou,
Shuto-kou,
Machi no akari ga
Anata no shikai o saegiru you nara
Nanimo iwanaide
Hibi terasu
Kono uta ga yorisotte yuku kara

Toukyou,
Shuto-kou,
Tomoru omoi ga
Anata no ashita o terashite iku kara
Nanimo iwanaide
Kokoro kara
Senaka osu yo
Toukyou CITY

T/ssue - Skirt (english translation)

It's kind of awkward-sounding, and I'm not too confident about the lines I starred, but I think the general idea is there.



スカート / Skirt

Your skirt swings, and you’re going to run off
The wind was swinging your skirt because it was spring
I’m holding onto that memory now,
But it’s already goodbye
Already goodbye

The season of parting, the season of meeting
People will repeat them both over and over again
I know that, but
I can’t forget about that season

Your skirt swings, and you’re going to leave
The wind was swinging your skirt because it was spring
I’m holding onto that memory now,
But it’s already goodbye
Already goodbye

The season of our parting, the season of our meeting
I’ll remember it countless times
Trying to shake free, I run through it again,*
But there’s already no going back

Your skirt swings, and you’re going to leave
Those tears were soaking your cheeks because it was spring
I’m holding onto that memory now,
But it’s already goodbye
Already goodbye

Your skirt swings, and you’re going to leave
Don’t look back, you’re going to change once more**
The idea that everyone can become happy,
I already don't believe in that…

Your skirt swings, and you’re going to leave
Since this song filled with my true feelings
Is still left behind here
Well, goodbye
Well, goodbye

I’m holding onto that memory now,
But it’s already goodbye
Already goodbye

Notes:

^A fan did these by ear, and there are a few small mistakes (mata is written twice, and an "o" is missing), but it's close enough to be helpful. Someone also typed it out by ear in the comments of the Youtube video.
