So, it's three years later, and I'm just updating this with an English translation. I forgot that I had most of this done already on my old computer. Just took a second to fill in a few blanks.
It's still kind of sappy, but I still love it.
BECAUSE
Lyrics: Chiba Yusuke
Music: The Birthday
Purple haze, together forever
Because in my heart, smoke is building up
It’s like the purple and pink have mixed
And they’ll never disappear or be washed away, like a memory
Sometimes, it’s also like being enveloped in black*
I like love songs, but you don’t
Even though my heart is wide and vast, it’s burning up
It’s serene, it’s tiring, it’s quiet and warm
Even in the dead of night, I still feel like I’m going crazy
Because my heart is being enveloped in smoke
And it won’t clear up
Because in my heart, smoke is building up
The haze is becoming heavy, almost like lead
It won’t move
A cracked aurora
So, I wonder if it can’t exist without dancing**
Purple haze, together forever
Pink haze, together forever
Purple haze, together forever
Pink haze, together forever
Purple haze, together forever
Pink haze, together forever
Purple haze, together forever
Pink haze, together forever
Together forever
Together forever
Together forever
So, I have something I need to tell you
I have something I need to…
Notes:
*I guess this means that being this madly in love is also kind of painful sometimes?
**I have no idea what this means. I think he's comparing the feeling of loving this person to the way the lights of the aurora seem to be dancing?
BECAUSE
PAAPURU HEIZU TOGETHER FOREVER
BECAUSE ore no HAATO ni wa kemuri ga kakatteru*
MURASAKI to PINKU ga majiriatta you na
Kesshite nagarenai omoide ni mo nita
Toki ni wa kurokute kasundari suru
RABU SONGU wa suki sa kedo anta no sore ja nai
Hirokute dekai no ni mune kogashite iru
Sumi-kitte tsukarete shizuka de atatakai
Mayonaka soredemo ki ga kurui-sou na
BECAUSE ore no HAATO ni wa kemuri ga kakatteru
Hareru koto wa nai
BECAUSE ore no HAATO ni wa kemuri wa kakatteru
Omoku tachikomete tada namari no you ni
Kesshite ugokanai hibiwareta OORORA
Dakara sa odorazu ni irarenai darou
PAAPURU HEIZU TOGETHER FOREVER
PINKU NO HEIZU TOGETHER FOREVER
PAAPURU HEIZU TOGETHER FOREVER
PINKU NO HEIZU TOGETHER FOREVER
PAAPURU HEIZU TOGETHER FOREVER
PINKU NO HEIZU TOGETHER FOREVER
PAAPURU HEIZU TOGETHER FOREVER
PINKU NO HEIZU TOGETHER FOREVER
TOGETHER FOREVER
TOGETHER FOREVER
TOGETHER FOREVER
SO kimi ni tsutaenakya ikenai koto ga aru**
Kimi ni tsutaenakya ikenai koto ga
Notes:
*The kanji says “nazenara,” but he says “because” in the song. It means the same thing.
**Kanji says “dakara,” Chiba says “so.” Again, it means the same thing.

The Birthday - NIGHT LINE (english translation)
This is probably not too accurate. I don't really get what's going on in some places.
NIGHT LINE
Lyrics: Chiba Yusuke
Music: The Birthday
From here the future is a night line
A welcome from inside the darkness
A simple place where even the buzzing in my ears is gone
Do you wanna dance?
Oh
Do you wanna dance?
Oh
I’m lost in the resounding trumpets
I can see Al Pacino wearing a knit cap
Do you wanna dance?
Do you wanna dance?
She always waits for dawn
I always wait for sleep to come
But we’re one; inside and out
We’re tied together, and we spin round and round like a coin
Do you wanna dance?
Do you wanna dance?
Do you wanna dance?
Do you wanna dance?
From here the future is a night line
A welcome from inside the darkness
Do you wanna dance?
Do you wanna dance?
Look, the setting sun
When you’re fascinated by it,
The man in the moon’s voice calls out “From here, the future is a night line”
Do you wanna
Do you wanna
Do you wanna dance with me?
Do you wanna dance with me?
Do you wanna dance?
NIGHT LINE

The Birthday - Piano (english translation)
This one might be a little sketchy in places.
ピアノ / Piano
Lyrics: Chiba Yusuke
Music: The Birthday
I could hear the piano
I can see the fingers,
Above the white and black
Melody, from there everything begins
It steals my breath and I'm paralyzed
A feeling like no one else exists
Everyone vanished, a watery blue
Just like in the season when snow falls
I fell into peace and closed my eyes
Blue butterflies sleep in the open field
In an echo named Babel,
the sound of wings shook the air
My heart is light and warm
Just like in the season when flowers bloom
That girl said "Spring has come, hasn't it?"
Melody, from there it always starts
Unexpectedly, I forget to breathe
The light that escaped from between a crack in the clouds
At times the dancing of the thunder makes me happy
Just like in the season when snow falls
I fell into peace and closed my eyes
Just like in the season when flowers bloom
That girl said "Spring has come, hasn't it?"
I could hear the piano
I can see the fingers,
Above the white and black
ピアノ / PIANO

The Birthday - Carnival (english translation)
This is a little sketchy in places, but I think it makes sense. Kind of.
カーニバル / Carnival
Lyrics: Chiba Yusuke
Music: The Birthday
I’ll take the night*
I’ll take you
I’ll take the stars
I’ll take the moon
Let’s go on a journey
Just like this
Before dawn
Right now, from here
I’ll take the wind
I’ll take the flowers
I’ll take the shadows
I’ll take the noise
Let’s go on a journey
Just like this
Before dawn
Right now, from here
Roll up your mouse-coloured muffler and let’s go
The fur jumper matches and**
A boa clings to my neck***
Since no one is around, spontaneously,
I fly in the air
I fly in the air
I don’t have anything like Superman’s mantle
I don’t need it
The jar is filled with
The pleasant scent of Darjeeling****
The salty cracker is damp, but I don’t care
My fellow traveler too*****
Is a good thing*****
If I’m with you
If I’m with you
I have one dream
To rot away
And become sand
The universe’s dust
Carnival
Carnival
Carnival
Oh
Carnival
Carnival
Carnival
Oh
My fellow traveler too
Is a good thing
If I’m with you
If I’m with you
I have one dream
To rot away
And become sand
The universe’s dust
Notes:
*Meaning “take along”, like he’s dragging them all on the journey with him
**, *** I’m not terribly sure about these lines. I don’t know whether he’s wearing the jumper and boa or the other person is
****A place in India

The Birthday - GILDA (english translation)
I think this one isn't too bad. There might be a few issues here and there with grammar, but it seems to fit together pretty well.
Well, it makes as much sense as possible, considering that it was written by Chiba. I have no idea what is going on in this song, but the images are interesting.
GILDA
Lyrics: Chiba Yusuke
Music: The Birthday
Happy birthday, dear Gilda
A bat or ice cream;
Which should I choose
To give as a present?
Happy birthday, dear Gilda
Wear your casket
And we’ll go to pick blueberries
For a bottled jam
Dear Gilda, I love you
Yesterday a pink rain fell,
And we laughed
Open your eyes! Open your eyes! Open your eyes!
Happy birthday, dear Gilda
The hero you loved who
Flew through the air
Cries in solitude
Dear Gilda, I love you
I want to search for the reality you fell out of,
No matter where it is
Open your eyes! Open your eyes! Open your eyes!
Break your mind! Break your mind!
At dawn, on the rings of Saturn,
Should we have an indy race?
Happy birthday, dear Gilda
The warm time has come,
So shall we bury our precious treasures in the field?
Dear Gilda, I love you
There was no wind,
So you could hear the little bird’s chatter
Dear Gilda
Open your eyes! Open your eyes! Open your eyes!
Break your mind! Break your mind!
The cold tomorrow
Is too far away, but we can meet it
Even in the wasteland, flowers bloomed
There’s no reason to, but even so…
Notes:
Is it just me, or does this seem like a morbid story? --like "Gilda" has died, or will in the near future?
GILDA
Happy birthday, dear Gilda
yuumori to aisukuriimu
docchi ka erande

Open your eyes! Open your eyes! Open your eyes!
Happy birthday, dear Gilda

Open your eyes! Open your eyes! Open your eyes!

The Birthday - Masquerade (english translation)
This one is...interesting. I really like the third verse though, for some reason.
マスカレード / Masquerade
Lyrics: Chiba Yusuke
Music: The Birthday
My heart is always flying about
To the point that I don’t know if I understand it or not*
But I can’t make an order at the drive-through going over 100 kilos, can I?**
C’mon lady! Masquerade!
C’mon lady! Masquerade!
The part-time-working girl with the pretty face
The one at the coffee shop on the corner
I ask her if we should go out to play somewhere
Bowling is kind of lame, isn’t it?
C’mon lady! Masquerade!
C’mon lady! Masquerade!
If it’s okay for me to wear my ski mask,
You put on your red wings
Since I’m wearing my blue wings,
Let’s call each other “red” and “blue”
C’mon lady! Masquerade!
C’mon lady! Masquerade!
If I had a heart made of iron,
I wonder if its throbbing would have to disappear?***
Even the people that are left behind somewhere****
Will feel like they’re dancing in heaven
C’mon lady! Masquerade!
C’mon lady! Masquerade!
Notes:
* Not too sure about this.
**Or this
***the feeling of his heart beating rapidly; would he still be able to experience that sort of excited state
****Not 100% on this either
マスカレード / MASUKAREEDO
Itsudatte shinzou tobimawaru
Wake-wakannaku naru kurai

To the point that I don’t know if I understand it or not*
But I can’t make an order at the drive-through going over 100 kilos, can I?**
C’mon lady! Masquerade!
C’mon lady! Masquerade!
The part-time-working girl with the pretty face
The one at the coffee shop on the corner
I ask her if we should go out to play somewhere
Bowling is kind of lame, isn’t it?
C’mon lady! Masquerade!
C’mon lady! Masquerade!
If it’s okay for me to wear my ski mask,
You put on your red wings
Since I’m wearing my blue wings,
Let’s call each other “red” and “blue”
C’mon lady! Masquerade!
C’mon lady! Masquerade!
If I had a heart made of iron,
I wonder if its throbbing would have to disappear?***
Even the people that are left behind somewhere****
Will feel like they’re dancing in heaven
C’mon lady! Masquerade!
C’mon lady! Masquerade!
Notes:
* Not too sure about this.
**Or this
***the feeling of his heart beating rapidly; would he still be able to experience that sort of excited state
****Not 100% on this either

The Birthday - Tsumeato (english translation)
This one is kind of frustrating. I don't know if I'm completely off the mark with some of these lines or not.
爪痕 / Scars
Lyrics: Chiba Yusuke
Music: The Birthday
Small scratches were left behind
I wonder if that girl is already laughing now*
I thought the summer would continue without end
I thought the summer would continue without end
Gentle scratches, like clouds
Changed shape and were washed away**
I thought the summer would continue without end
I thought the summer would continue without end
I was thinking about forgetting it completely, but
The scars won’t disappear
Won’t disappear
I wanted to forget it completely, but
The scars won’t disappear
Won’t disappear
If I had held her gently that time
I wonder if that girl would still be laughing now
The gingko forest was still green
I thought the summer would continue without end
I was thinking about forgetting it completely, but
The scars won’t disappear
Won’t disappear
I wanted to forget it completely, but
The scars won’t disappear
Won’t disappear
Notes:
*, ** I'm not sure about these lines. There are a lot of very subtle differences between some of these lines using particles and I don't know exactly what Chiba means.

The Birthday - Tabarusa (english translation)
"Tabarusa" seems to be a person's name?
タバルサ / Tabarusa
Lyrics: Chiba Yusuke
Music: The Birthday
Like checking a pocketwatch,
I want to open and look inside that girl’s heart
And for it to be something transparent
Like the cherry blossom-coloured flesh of a fruit
I’m searching for love
What kind of thing is it?
There’s no answer, but that girl knew
Higher than the sky
Deeper than the sea
I want to see inside you*
Even if I let out a sigh
The unpleasant feeling won’t leave my heart
Even if I let out a sigh
A pure feeling won’t be born in my heart
Tabarusa
Forced away from the center line, I ran
Cut and bruised, I fell
I laughed, covered in grass
I wonder what was so funny
But even now, I can still laugh
Even if I let out a sigh
The unpleasant feeling won’t leave my heart
Even if I let out a sigh
A pure feeling won’t be born in my heart
Tabarusa
I wonder what those grey eyes are looking at?
Tabarusa can't bear to look at me**
Like I'm a train robbery or a UFO***
Even if I let out a sigh
The unpleasant feeling won’t leave my heart
Even if I let out a sigh
A pure feeling won’t be born in my heart

The Birthday - Nazeka Kyou wa (english translation)
This one doesn't make much sense. Not sure if it's my sketchy Japanese skills, or just Chiba being Chiba.
なぜか今日は / Somehow, Today
Lyrics: Chiba Yusuke
Music: The Birthday
Sunday, Shinjuku fishnet tights
On the way home from the supermarket
A smiling blonde with a baby carriage and shorts on Bird Day*
My friend flies a black bicycle
The shy driver is always gazing at the sky
Somehow, today I feel things like murder can’t happen
But, on the other hand, I also feel like something will
The crying mascara ground
Hey, smile
That’s it, stand up
It’s time for an afternoon snack
Shall we go to eat something sweet?
Somehow, today I feel things like murder can’t happen
But, on the other hand, I also feel like something will
Something today
But surely today
But something today
But surely today
Cinderella grew wings and took off
She keeps forgetting her shoes, but she’s happy
Somehow, today I feel things like murder can’t happen
But, on the other hand, I also feel like something will
Something today
But surely today
But something today
But surely today
La la la my humming melted into the sky
La la la my humming disappeared into the sky

The Birthday - 2byou (english translation)
It's a very straightforward song, so I think this is fairly accurate.
2秒 / Two Seconds
Lyrics: Chiba Yusuke
Music: The Birthday
Once, I had a problem
Once, I
But, if it’s now, because it’s with you; let’s love each other
Even if it’s only for two seconds
Once, I forgot a problem
Once, I
Once, I caused a problem
Once, I
But, if it’s now, because it’s with you; let’s love each other
Even if it’s only for two seconds
If it’s only two seconds

The Birthday - Namida ga Koboresou (english translation)
涙がこぼれそう / The Tears Seem to Overflow
Lyrics: Chiba Yusuke
Music: The Birthday
I searched for the phone
I’ve got to ask that girl
Where am I now?
On a night that seemed broken, I fell in the rotary*
Blood and iron mixed
Somehow, the taste was a bit nostalgic
From the asphalt, I could hear the London punk
I didn’t want to stand up, and said I didn’t care what happened to me
From the seemingly overflowing tears, a love call
A love call to that girl
With a sidelong glance, I saw a fox and a mole kissing
What is pure?
Someone tell me
From the seemingly overflowing tears, a love call
A love call to that girl
Is something wrong?
I don’t know
I don’t want to ask
One of my shoes disappeared somewhere
What should I do?
Where should I go?
But hey,
Honestly
Really
Morning comes and the crow mother and child call out together
I become a little happier and stand up
From the seemingly overflowing tears, a love call
A love call to that girl
From the seemingly overflowing tears, a love call
A love call to that girl
Notes:
* I don't know what exactly he means by a "rotary", but that's definitely what it says. It seems to be a place he fell/fainted in.

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

*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

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

You don’t need to explain
Because I know there’s no way I’ll understand if I hear why**

The Birthday - Outlaw II (english translation)
This translation is a little iffy in places, but I love this song.
Outlaw II
Lyrics: Chiba Yusuke
Music: The Birthday
On a day when the
sharp sun pierces through the morning
I was just looking at
Mona Lisa’s sleeping face
Good morning Baby
Mornin’!*
I wonder if my idea is
wrong
It’ll be a bloodbath
Outlaw
Robin Hood has already
become corned beef
I can see the horizon,
even though it’s blurring
Good morning Baby
Mornin’!
Morning came to
Babylon
I didn’t set up the
bomb yet, I still have it
So will you laugh for
me?
I was floating in the
air
Soon I won’t even need
my skin and bones**
Outlaw
A camel is walking to
the distant other side
If we could ride it,
where would we go?
We’re in an endless
desert
Good morning Baby
Mornin’!
The things we could
see turn into things we can’t and
I say a thoughtless “I
love you!”
Every now and then we have a baumkuchen***
Every now and then we have a baumkuchen***
Where did the bomb go?
I spin round and round****
Outlaw
Notes:
*I’m a little confused
about the Baby Mornin’ part
**apparently this is a
log cake. I don’t really get this line.
****According to
wikipedia, the traditional way to make baumkuchen is on a spit, turning it, so maybe the bomb ended up in the cake batter and is doing the spinning?
Or maybe the outlaw is
just sort of spinning around looking for it in a slapstick sort of way?

The Birthday - Press Factory (english translation)
This one is super sketchy. I'm not sure about the tenses in some places.
プレスファクトリー / Press Factory
Lyrics: Chiba Yusuke
Music: The Birthday
It’s sinking in the bog, but I’ll always remember that that guy’s car was completely white at the start
A press factory for junk cars*
All the workers are funky
This is heaven
This press factory
With just my dreams, I can do it
Here, the jam session when we gather together is everything to me
If I’m asked if I really love you
I won’t say anything, okay?
The only thing that I’ll make clear is**
That I don’t hate you
I wonder if you understood that? Huh?
I’ll always be looking back at the Sesuna*** that’s flying away
If I’d grown wings,
I’d have gone to the sea with that girl
I don’t want you to put any tomato in my sandwich, okay?
And don’t cut the crusts off the bread
That’s very important
A press factory for junk cars
All the workers are funky
This is heaven
This press factory
With just my dreams, I can do it
If I’d grown wings,
I’d have gone to the sea with that girl
Singing a hymn
That guy disappeared
Notes:
*Apparently a “press factory” is actually a term for something else that he's misused, but I think it's clear that what Chiba means is something like a junkyard where old cars get crushed, like in the PV.
**Not sure about these lines
***Sesuna is an aircraft company, so he’s probably looking at a plane

The Birthday - I'm just a dog (english translation)
I'm just a dog
Lyrics: Chiba Yusuke
Music: The Birthday
Prowling the night sky
Drawing a picture by tracing from star to star
I’m just a dog
I’m just a dog
I’m just a
Pressing the red clay down with my feet
Drawing wings with my footprints
I’m just a dog
I’m just a dog
I’m just a
I already only have half a tail
Still, I’m supposed to be able to meet you someday
Will it be today?
Or, maybe,
I’m just dreaming
I’m just a dog, but
That doesn’t mean that I’m ignoring the world
This world is going crazy, but
I think, maybe
That’s genuine proof that
I’m just a dog
I’m just a dog
I’m just a dog
I’m just a dog
I’m just a dog
I’m just a dog
I’m just a dog
I’m just a dog
I'm just a dog

Hoshi to hoshi nazotte e o kaku
