nil - Candy (english translation)

Candy

Music and lyrics: Takano Tetsu

Candy
Rolling from
Candy
The palm of my hand
I’m going to leave
I’m going to leave

Candy, wave your hand
Candy, you’re too late
Hey, won’t you wait?
Won’t you wait?

When you hold a bouquet of flowers
You’re not there when I fall
I wanna be your first, and I wanna be your last
I wanna be your first, and I wanna be your last
Oh yes?
Oh no?

If you’re only looking into the distance
You’re not there when I fall
I wanna be your first, and I wanna be your last
I wanna be your first, and I wanna be your last
Oh yes?
Oh no?
Oh yeah

CANDY


KYANDI te no hira de
KYANDI kurogashite kara
Satte yuku no sa
Satte yuku no sa

KYANDI te o fure yo
KYANDI teokure yo
Nee matte kurenai ka
Matte kurenai ka

Hanataba o daitetara
Korondara kimi wa inai
I WANNA BE YOUR FIRST & I WANNA BE YOUR LAST
I WANNA BE YOUR FIRST & I WANNA BE YOUR LAST
OH YES? OH NO?

Kanata dake mite itara
Korondara kimi wa inai
I WANNA BE YOUR FIRST & I WANNA BE YOUR LAST
I WANNA BE YOUR FIRST & I WANNA BE YOUR LAST
OH YES? OH NO?
OH YEAH

nil - Yellow (english translation)

イエロー / Yellow

Music and lyrics: Takano Tetsu

You are yellow
I’m yellow too
All the way to the inside of my lungs*
Your yellow, my yellow
Goes all the way to our high relationship*

What I can see is my world
Today as well there is a sweet smell
What I can see is surely this world
I don’t want to see, so I won’t look

I bury my face in your hair
And breathe happiness into my lungs
“No way, I don’t want to die yet”

Notes:
*This is a play on words. Tetsu uses two phrases that sound very similar, but have very different meanings: "hai no naka made" and "hai na naka made". "Hai" can mean both "lung" (肺)and "high" (ハイ), and "naka" can mean "inside" (中) or "relationship" (仲)

イエロー / IEROO

Kimi wa IEROO boku mo IEROO
Hai no naka made
Kimi no IEROO boku no IEROO
HAI na naka made

Kono shikai ga boku no sekai da
Kyou mo amai kaori da
Boku no shikai ga kono sekai nan da
Mitaku nai kara minai n da

Kimi no kami ni kao o umete
Shiawase o suikonde hai no naka made
“Iyada boku wa mada shinitaku nai”

blog translation: Takano Tetsu - April 24, 2012

For anyone who doesn't know, Ikuzo Baba = the bassist from Dragon Ash.
R.I.P. IKUZONE.

April 24, 2012

I suddenly heard the news that someone passed away.
But I guess hearing of someone’s death is always sudden.
Shit.

I often used to drink with Ikuzo Baba.
Even though he was an older guy, he was a loveable, kind, eccentric man.
When we met up in a bar after a few years, he suddenly hugged me from behind and surprised me.
I remember being happy that he knew about my work.
After that, we met up at the same place to drink often.
Now that I think about it, when Kashimoto and Moro left nil, the first call I made was to Baba-san’s cell.
And he said “I have Dragon Ash, so I can’t help you out, but if I find a good guy, I’ll let you know.”
I’m remembering things like that steadily.
I wonder if the last place we drank together at was 井の頭通り沿い.*
Or maybe it was when he called me at around four in the morning and, when I thought “What the hell does he want to talk about?”, it ended up being a silly conversation.
Ah, did we go drinking in Ikebukuro after that?
I wonder which one was the last one?
Which one. Was the last moment we spent together?

That’s so lonely, isn’t it?

Baba-san,
I’m planning to keep you waiting for about 40 years, but,
Because we’ll definitely go there too, wait for us, okay?
Let’s drink together again.

Takano Tetsu.

Notes:
*I don't know how to read this, but it's just the name of a place, so I don't think it really matters.
