2023 Johnny's WEST song translations
Hello! It's been ages, but I decided to translate some of my favorite songs :)
Jounetsu (Shigeoka Daiki, Kiriyama Akito, Hamada Takahiro)
Romaji
Translation
Chotto mirai ni tsumazuite
Miageta yozora ga nijinde
Sonna hibi to sonna hibi to
Nasakenai hodo utsumuite
Setsunasa ni kokoro furuete
Sonna yoru to sonna yoru to
Toorisugireba chiisa na ishikoro
Wakatteru kedo kokoro wa bukiyou
Daijoubu sa itsumo no koto
Iwa nobori shizumu
Sou sa kokoro ni wa kusubutta hi ga aru
Kono honou ni wa jounetsu no na ga aru
Ikiru koto wa tsuraku tomo
Nando demo tachiagarunda yo
Kodomo no koro wa chousensha
Tomattara shinu kyuudousha
Sou dattaro sou datta na
Ima mo kawarazu chousensha
Nakama to tomo ni chousen sa
Sonna koto wo sonna koto wo
Ai wo shiru kara okiagarunda ze
Shotteru kara tsuburenainda ze
Kizudarake demo waraetara
Hoka ni wa mou iranai
Sou sa oretachi wo tsunaideru te ga aru
Kono nukumori to takanatta kodou wa eeru
Ikite koso no mirai da to
Todokeyou tooku tooku e
Itsuka mata kanashimi ni uchinomesarete
Ji wo hauyo na kodoku ga kuru kamo shirenai
Setsunasa wo dakishimete norikoeta yoru wo
Kamishimeta kuchibiru wa wasurenai kizuato no mama
Kimi no me ni mieru no ga kibou nara
Donna kanashimi mo fukitobasu hiiroo ni narou
Sore ga oretachi no ashita
Oretachi no ikiru akashi sa
Kokoro ni wa moetagiru hi ga aru
Kono honou ni wa jounetsu no na ga aru
Ikiru koto wa tsuraku tomo
Kono te wa hanasanai kara
As I take a stumble into the future
The night sky I look up at blurs
With days like that, days like that
Looking down so pityfully
The sadness makes my heart tremble
With nights like that, nights like that
They seem just small rocks in passing
I know that, but my heart is clumsy
It's fine, the same as always
The sun rises and sets
Yes, there's a smoldering fire in my heart
This flame is called passion
Even when life is hard
I stand up again and again
As a child, I was a challenger
A seeker of truth who stops at nothing
That's right, it was like that
Now I am still a challenger
I challenge alongside my friends
That's right, that's the thing
I get up because I know love
I carry it on my back so I won't collapse
If I can still laugh while covered in scars
There's nothing else I need
Yes, there's a hand that connects us
Its warmth and heartbeat is yelling out
This life comes with a future
Let's make it to that far away place
One day I'll be overwhelmed by sorrow again
The crawling loneliness might come
I embraced my sadness and got through the night
I bit my lips together and formed a scar I won't forget
If we can see hope in your eyes
We'll become heroes that blow away any sorrow
That is our tomorrow
Proof that we are alive
Yes, there's a smoldering fire in my heart
This flame is called passion
Even when life is hard
I'll never let go of this hand

Shooting stars rain down in front of us
I wanted to grab them but couldn't
I reach out my hand again and wake up from the dream
I want to forget about it
But I wonder if that's okay
I'll only remember the twinkling
If there is a God, what kind of face would he have?
That's something I said, but I'm not really interested
I just follow along this road
Every time I speed up, I get a headwind
Even in this season, it feels a little chilly
It's not as if I'm lonely, not at all
There's no map, but I'll just go along
I'm always fine, I'm fine
Shooting stars rain down in front of us
I wanted to grab them but couldn't
I reach out my hand again and wake up from the dream
I want to forget about it
But I wonder if that's okay
It's cruel, I'll only remember the twinkling
The road branches out as we keep on approaching
Just as I think I passed through, I didn't
It's just me standing still
I seem to have forgotten things over time
But there are also things I remember properly
Like that night, and that morning
Just a little longer, just a little more
I'll lie down in the endless night sky
And try reaching out my hand
If I trace the stars
They might become a shape just for me
Before the morining comes, I'll start running again
Let's wake up and push through
Another beautiful day is waiting for me
Let's laugh and push through
There's a small miracle right there
I spent all this time without even noticing
That's why things aren't going well
But the exact right temperature
It's something that only you and I must be feeling
This life is just for us
I just want to believe in that
Shooting stars rain down in front of us
I wanted to grab them but couldn't
I reach out my hand again and wake up from the dream
Even if I can't reach them
And I don't know they are there
I'll only remember the twinkling I saw with you

Well, you'll understand once you're an adult
That's what someone said
Can I become an adult now? Say, come on
Can I do this? It seems like I can't, but I just want to try
I'm not of an age to do something reckless, that's right
It can't help it, I can't do anything about it
This is not like me, let's stop these tears already
We live in our messy forms
Our silhouettes don't look so bad either
Our hearts are right in our centers too
We can't be stopped once we take the first step
Then we laugh in our sloppy forms
Do you have dreams?
I do, I do, I can do this too
Well, they say the earth is blue, but what if that's a lie?
Ah, I won't get angry, I just want to see it with my own eyes
Should I say it? I can say this, I have something to say
I'm neither strong nor weak, that's right
I'm normal, but what is normal?
I can definitely say I'm right at home now
That's what I thought with these tears
We live in our messy forms
On our backs, we have wings
Just by saying you believe in us
The wind will announce our departure
We laugh in our sloppy forms
Do you have dreams?
I do, I do, I'll show them to you
Even though you're here, even though I'm here
People will for some reason always say the same
It's not you, it's not me
Someone other than you, someone other than me
Even if it's not you, even if it's not me
The world will keep on spinning
And somehow the sun sets again
Your messy form is so precious to me
There's no kind of logic in this
Shall I stay by your side? I want to stand next to you
I just want to protect this warmth
We live in our messy forms
Our silhouettes don't look so bad either
Our hearts are right in our centers too
We can't be stopped once we take the first step
Then we laugh in our sloppy forms
Do you have dreams?
I do, I do, I'll show them to you
We live in our messy forms
Will we meet one day?
That's right, that's right, I can do it too
We can do it
