Sanoitukset / Cell

[sonja]

Meitä japaninkielentaidottomia on varmaan aika paljon, niin ajattelin, että voitaisiin tehdä albumikohtaiset ketjut, joille koota käännöksiä. Tässä on nää, mitä mulla löyty Celliltä, mikään ei ole itsekääntämäni siis ja ihan luvattomasti levitän näitä mutta hyvässä tarkoituksessa ainakin.

Tänne siis voi varmaan lisätä kaikkia löytyviä sanoituksia Celliltä! Kiva lukea eri versioitakin ja noista kaikista kappaleista en ole nähnyt käännöstä ollenkaan.

Listassa boldilla noi mitä tässä viestissä on.

2. Melancholic

Melancholic

Melancholic sunshine, full of the sun
A summer when I'm losing my mind, the dream in broad daylight
The feelings I want to convey, the love I want to connect
I am seriously ill – as though being broken in pieces
Indistinct, my emotions are missing

The cicada cries rip through the silence
My hands reaching out and holding reality, are they going to reach towards the future?

I don't know why but, my tears fell – I shut my eyelids and searched for you
If my tears should dry completely, it will feel like everything has completely vanished

What has started to fall is, rain. What has started to fall is, rain.

The melancholic night, the crumbling moon
Anxiety is the form of progression, the dream that gasped
Too much despair to see, too much hope in my hands
I don't understand so I am disappointed – right at the bottom of the universe

The glorious laughter from far away
The fireworks – instantaneously disappeared
I wonder if the wishes blown away by the wind will bloom somewhere?

I don't know why but, my tears fell – I shut my eyelids and searched for you
So, please, let me hear your voice if you feel that you are losing everything*

What has started to fall is, rain.
What has started to fall is, rain.

The days of frolicking around in the sun
Are now beyond oblivion
The hands that extend towards the certain light probably reach towards the future

I don't know why but, my tears fell – I shut my eyelids and searched for you
Because I feel that if my tears should completely dry, everything will vanish
While falling into pieces, while losing, we accelerate and lunge forward
I want to forget myself, forget time, and if (I) become something sorrowful* one day

What has started to fall is, rain. what has started to fall is rain.
Rinse away, rain. rinse away, rain.



3. Harusaki sentimental
Dear .
How are you? This is the first time I've written a letter.
I'm more or less okay. I'm even getting a little bit used to being alone.
In the park at night on the way home, the cherry blossoms were in full bloom,
and I thought of you.

Floating against the pitch black sky, the cherry blossoms seemed to be gasping.
The world is touched with a slight rising fever, and so the scenery appears distorted.
If, perhaps, love is to blame, then someday surely we too will be short of breath.
On our deathbeds, buds will bloom.

Hello, hello, can you hear me?
Can I be myself?
A flower petal in my praying hands. As if they'd been touched by you. (1-a)

In brilliant colour and sound the cherry blossoms bloom.
I follow after your voice. Spilling towards me, the pieces of love.
If you look up, you'll see the spring flowers fall (2)

I feel the warm breeze beginning to blow. A spring storm is on its way.
(The flowers) bloom like mad things, but it is their fate to someday fall.
In many ways, love is the same, at some point we were exactly like those flowers
I remember this, and laugh in spite of myself.

Hello, hello, where are you?
Is there anything I can do?
A flower petal in my searching hands. As if they'd been touched by you. (1-b)

In brilliant colour and sound the cherry blossoms bloom.
Our hands, once linked, draw further apart. Spilling towards me, a thousand wishes.
If you look up, you'll see the spring flowers fall

The cherry blossoms scatter as if dancing, obscuring your face
I am almost awake from this fleeting dream, and that which spills over is tears---

In brilliant colour and sound the cherry blossoms bloom.
Everything that was important to me, I will bury (in blossoms) under this tree.
Before my eyes, the spring where we'll say goodbye
If you look up, you'll see the spring flowers fall

Onto me, onto me, softly

Harusaki sentimental

Dear, how are you? This is the first time I’ve written a letter
I somehow became used to being alone
On my back, I saw the sakuras in full bloom at the park
And I think of you

I gasp for air as I float above the black sky
Because a slight fever drapes the world, the scenery becomes unclear
We breath faintly, for we are unsure how long our love will last
A bud opens at the last moment

Do you hear me? Hello? Hello?
Or is it just me?
A petal to which I prayed for seems to have been touched by you

With brilliant colors and sound, the sakura blooms
Love overflows in me as I search for your voice
A spring flower falls when I look up

Sakua leaves are being blown by the wind, and a storm of spring will come soon
They are all scattered, but by fate I need to go
They resemble love well; they look just like us
I have done a private joke

Where are you? Hello? Hello?
What can I say?
A petal to which I prayed for seems to have been touched by you

With brilliant colors and sound, the sakura blooms
I made a thousand wishes that my essence will overflow them
A spring flower falls when I look up

Is it now impossible to see you once again?
Here at which I danced with the sakuras
I am in tears as I wake from this light dream, and it spills out

With brilliant colors and sound, the sakura blooms
I bury all the significant things under this tree
The spring when I say goodbye to you
The spring when a flower falls if I looked up

And I am left alone, on me, on me...


7. Yuki hotaru

"Rain, sometimes snow."
"Love, sometimes fake."

Winter in Tokyo is colder than the weather forecast
And I still can't imitate the way you talk
So I am here, looking for proof that we were together

I breathe a sigh
As if my thoughts were all jammed together,
They float up and away

I want to see you before it snows
Every time I close my eyes, you're crying
Like a firefly in the darkness
You glow, and then disappear

You're so sensitive to the cold
About this time, somewhere,
You're watching the rain, with fragments of a smile playing on your face
Even if you forget, will you still be sad?
Even if you wish, will it still hurt?
Tomorrow I know the town will be covered in white

The same time wavers, and the cheek that I touch
Is cold, now that I'm alone

Winter hones my senses
Every time I close my eyes, I'm following (you)
In the darkness, the snow falls
Depressingly beautiful

I want to see you before it snows
Every time I close my eyes, you're crying
Like a firefly in the darkness
You glow, and then disappear

And so, rain turns to snow
And even my memories feel like they're going to freeze
I can't reach you, not with my voice
I can't reach you, not with my outstretched hand
I never will...
---

Yukihotaru (Snow Firefly)

"Sometimes rain is snow."
"Sometimes love is fake."

Winter in Tokyo is colder than the weather forecast
And I still can't imitate the way you talk
So I am here, looking for proof that we were together

I breathe a sigh
As if my thoughts were all jammed together,
They float up and away

I want to see you before it snows
Every time I close my eyes, you're crying
Like a firefly in the darkness
You glow, and then disappear

You're so sensitive to the cold
About this time, somewhere,
You're watching the rain, with fragments of a smile playing on your face
Even if you forget, will you still be sad?
Even if you wish, will it still hurt?
Tomorrow I know the town will be covered in white

The same time wavers, and the cheek that I touch
Is cold, now that I'm alone

Winter hones my senses
Every time I close my eyes, I'm following (you)
In the darkness, the snow falls
Depressingly beautiful

I want to see you before it snows
Every time I close my eyes, you're crying
Like a firefly in the darkness
You glow, and then disappear

And so, rain turns to snow
And even my memories feel like they're going to freeze
I can't reach you, not with my voice
I can't reach you, not with my outstretched hand
I never will...

Yuki hotaru

rain mixed with snow."
"love mixed with lies."
it's winter in tokyo, even colder than the weather forecast said
and I still can't imitate the way you talk
here I am, searching for evidence we were ever together

spilling sighs
as if all my thoughts were packed into them
they float up and away

before snow falls, I want to see you
everytime I close my eyes I see you crying
like a firefly in the dark
you glow, then disappear

sensitive to the cold, somewhere right now
you are watching the rain with a sparkling smile
will forgetting help my sadness?
will wishing help my pain?
by tomorrow, this city will have turned white for sure

time flickers
and my cheek, once nuzzled close to yours,
is now lonely and cold

winter is sharpening my heart
everytime I close my eyes I chase after you
snow is dancing down in the dark
depressingly beautiful

before snow falls, I want to see you
everytime I close my eyes I see you crying
like a firefly in the dark
you glow, then disasppear

and so the falling rain will turn to snow
freezing all these memories
and my unreaching voice
and my unreaching hands
forever————.


9. Harienju

I want a gun, I want poison
The lake in my heart is an extending ring, extending ring
In the forsaken scenery, someone searches, but because of me
In the middle of the world, it's full, it's full

So, every time I touch the thorns of a locust tree, I'm pricked
If we lick each other's wounds, the night will express itself
Every time I touch the thorns of a locust tree, it aches
And if we stick out our tongues, the night will express itself

If I don't keep a straight face, I'll feel like dust,
The lake in my heart goes back, goes back
What is that song? What did you say?
Finally I want to know, and I ask again, ask again

So, every time I touch the thorns of a locust tree, I'm pricked
If we lick each other's wounds, the night will express itself
Every time I touch the thorns of a locust tree, it aches
And if we stick out our tongues, the night will express itself

I want a gun, I want poison
The lake in my heart is transparent, transparent
As if calling to you, I wave good-bye
Because of our promise, I disperse, disperse

So every time I touch the thorns of a locust tree, I'm pricked
If we lick each other's wounds, the night will express itself
Every time I touch the thorns of a locust tree, it aches
And if we stick out our tongues, the night will express itself

Before long, I won't be able to escape, won't be able to escape
Won't be able to escape, won't be able to escape


11. Yume no shima

the devil came to me singing
"what kind of world do you wish for?" he asked me
somehow i can't seem to seize a helping hand anymore
solitude is my skill
and i answered, "i don't really have a place to exist."
such a beautiful day and even my hope was turned to ashes
how come i can't remember the spell
that awoke me from my dream?

where can i go, to throw away the tears in my eyes?
glittering yumenoshima where can i find it?
with the unburnable garbage, i want to rot away
glittering yumenoshima let's go there together

[mi]

Suurin osa mun puralyriikoista on nejimakista, joka katos muistaakseni ennen cellin ilmestymistä tai no en oo ihan varma, mutta tässä on nyt muutama.


cell.

In the morning, my heart closes up. In the sun, the flower laughs constantly.
A dream is an incomplete moonlit night. An electrode is the victim in me.

In my eyes are tears of sexual frigidity. In her smile is a tragedy.
In the light, the shadows have run away. A drawing tool in a colorless world.
Meaning in anagrammed thoughts. A song is an idea of snobbism.
Love is bacteria supremacy. A kiss is only a wound.

Since when was this? I am unable to feel anything.
What was it for? I can't smile skillfully.
Is there anything to believe in always and forever?
Is there anything to believe in someday and forever?

Everyday is a rhapsody of sighs. A voice is the dotted line of silence.
A mirror is shards of depersonalization. Loneliness is a rose in a flask.

Is there anything to believe in always and forever?

Is there anything to believe in someday and forever?



Comic Youth

In Delirium, was I the only one reading? Your letter is a lie, too vague and melancholy
And because I've read it to the end, I can always tear it up and throw it away
Stretching my back a little, I'll write down my intent to return home

Although I'm gently laughing, both truth and falsehood may be nonexistent
pretending to be glad is elated, just like a puppet

How sad, I truly thought you were modest
What you think brings tears to my eyes
too late, it's too late now after so long

You say you'll come, I wonder if it's true? Your words are lies,
too vague and melancholy
Since then, I've continued until the end, all alone I gazed
forevermore at the photograph, at the umbrella
On a rainy day, I will remember, and immediately write it down
When you're kind, it's selfishness, both truth and falsehood may be nonexistent

Happily morose, just like a third rate comedy
How sad, I truly felt like forgetting
What you think brings tears to my eyes
too late, it's too late now after so long

Although I'm gently laughing, both truth and falsehood may be nonexistent
pretending to be glad is elated, just like a puppet

How sad, I truly felt you were modest
What you think brings tears to my eyes
too late, it's too late now after so long

How sad, since in reality I enjoy pretending to be lonely
What you think brings tears to my eyes
too late, it's too late now after so long

Uwa no Sora.
(Absent Mind)

Absent mind The following is a memory of a happy afternoon
Wheels hurry through the alley where hydrangeas bloom
The promise was too empty and somehow insecure
I look over my shoulder, you're there, until you laugh

If an overflowing hourglass is inside my heart, each time you bind your hands, tomorrow becomes blurred
As the faint dream continued, I felt like forgetting about the future

The clear day becomes lonely, the blue forever expanding
I was looking upward, you were suddenly spilling words
I really just softly held you close
I hung my head as I whistled gently

If the melody is interrupted, with nowhere to go, the aligned long shadows will quietly start to separate
If I notice, little by little I will start walking faster
I could see you were far from reaching me

Absent mind The following is a memory of a happy afternoon
Before it gets dark, I will have already given up

If an overflowing hourglass is inside my heart, each time you bind your hands, tomorrow becomes blurred
In case I see your smiling face on a cloudy day, I'll try whistling your favorite song
If the melody is interrupted, with nowhere to go, the aligned long shadows will quietly start to separate

If I notice little by little I'll start to walk faster
I could see you were far from reaching me

[sonja]

jee kiitos tulin onnelliseksi nyt vähän <3 mäkin oon kerännyt lähinnä nejimakista (jos se oli se vaaleanlila sivu!), en tajunnut vaan niitä silloin ottaa ylös ja sitten se katosi, ja hain noita sanoja googlen välimuistin ja sellaisten avulla aika paniikissa.

nyt varmaan alkaa olla jo sellaisiakin purafaneja jotka eivät muista nejimakia tai ehtineet nähdä sitä, niin ajattelin että sanojen keräys olisi ihan kiva idea. siirin käännöksiä en kuitenkaan laittanut, ajattelin että se olisi tyhmää ilman lupaa. ei mulla lupaa oo näihin muihinkaan ollut mutta se on eri juttu!

[mi]

Tämä oli mulla nimellä 'cell talk', niin ajattelin, että sopisi tähän.


cell

The one is music by Akira, lyrics by Ryutaro. Unusually, Akira wrote it by just playing guitar. He came up with an interesting riff and kept expanding on it. One of the lines in the song is, "Is there anything (you) can believe in forever?"

melancholic

The mix is a little different from the single version. They did both versions at the same time and wanted people to hear both. Butchi particularly likes the album version. When asked why they didn't stick ____ edit or ____ mix onto the title, Akira says they didn't need it. People who notice, notice. Then he asks what mix they should have called it. Ryutaro suggests "album mix." Tadashi says that's too generic, so Akira says well, then "Special Golden Mix...just kidding."

harusaki sentimental

They remastered it for the album, so the balance is subtlely different, but basically it's the same as the single.

dance macabre

Tadashi wrote both the music and the lyrics, and it's got a kind of low-fi atmosphere.

kaibutsu-kun

Akira wrote the music, and it's a heavy song, but he says it's supposed to be a happy, feel-good song. (That's kind of a loose translation. It's one of those things that works in Japanese, but sounds ridiculous when translated literally into English.)

Ryutaro wrote the lyrics. He says the title doesn't have any deep meaning. Actually he wanted to call it XX-kun. (The magazine censored out what he said, I think.)

crackpot

Music and lyrics by Akira on this one, and it's a mid-tempo number with acoustic guitar. He says he was thinking that it would be good to have a song that wasn't so (feverish? heated? passionate?) and that he'd never written a medium tempo song before. Then Tadashi chips in that Akira said he wanted to write a "big" song.

The interviewer asks Ryutaro about singing these lyrics. He says that more than putting his own stamp on it, he wanted to sing in a way that suited the music. And so it became kind of a new singing style, he guesses. Also, it's as if he is peeping into Akira's darkness. Then the interviewer says that although Akira is normally an aloof from the world sort of character, she thinks he shows that he has a nervous and delicate side. (It makes him sound like a deer. Or a well-bred young lady from the 18th century ^^; These aren't words I see/hear a lot, so I'm not too sure of the nuances, but it seems to be more of a clinical than a typical sort of nervousness.) Ryutaro continues, talking about Akira like he's not even there (^_^ He's known Akira for a long time and they've spent a lot of time together, but he has parts that he doesn't really show. He understands that there are things that don't come out unless you're creating something, because he's like that, too. Definitely, things at Akira's core have come out here, he things. And that's a good thing. Really good. Personally, he really loves these lyrics.

yuki hotaru

This is the same as the single.

comic youth

This is catchy, pop, guitar rock. Tadashi says it's really good. I'm not really sure what they're going on about here. (Which is unfortunate, 'cause it seems like it's really funny.) Akira says that he thought "Melancholic" was a great song, and he's envious of the person who wrote it. That has some connection to this song, somehow, and I'm taking that to mean Akira wrote it.

Butchi says the drumming was difficult but he did his best ^^;

Then the interviewer is like, well, then there's the question of the lyrics...And Akira says, "Eh? Question?!" Then he gets really excited and loses me. Then the interviewer asks if he's lonely (?) The other members burst out laughing, and he's like, "Hey! This has 'youth' in the title, right??" "I understand. The point is, the feelings that young men universally feel, regardless of era--that meaning, right?" "That's it. Young men are truly lonely creatures!? You understand?!" And the others burst out laughing again. Tadashi: "So that's what you wanted to convey, after all." Then Akira goes off again, something about how from a woman's point of view it's probably stupid and laughable. Then Ryutaro tells him to please stop there and leave well enough alone.

hari-enju

Music by Tadashi and lyrics by Ryutaro. Ryutaro says that the lyrics were something he had wanted to write about from before, that he had in his mind, but he wrote them after he had a song to bring them out.

uwa no sora

Tadashi says that this was more guitar pop, but he wanted to try a different approach, so when he and Akira were working on it, they decided, somehow, that it was suited to a dance beat. So they tried it and the result was really interesting. All the members like this sort of thing, but they hadn't had a song like this before.

The interviewer asks what it's like for Butchi as a drummer, with this dance beat, and he says he just drums like he's in a disco band.

yume no shima

This is a simple, folky song similar to "saishuu densha." They weren't planning to have a song like this for the end or anything like that, but once they'd made it, they knew if they included it, it would be at the end.

not-so-secret-anymore untitled bonus track

Apparently, after "yume no shima" ends, if you keep playing the cd, after a while some turbulent music comes in. It's like the bonus track on the first press of Strange fruits. It was Ryutaro who wanted to do it, and he really, really likes the song and keeps listening to it over and over.
