[翻訳] 9GOATS BLACK OUT - in the rain
It's hard to believe that the only (I think) lyrics translation I ever posted was one I did when I was practically clueless, and ever since then, I haven't been doing it. Hiding behind my mediocrity.
Well, I don't care about that right now. If I don't chicken out, I'll recklessly post my translation from now on. Just be warned, my Japanese is mediocre thus I'm prone to be mistaken.
For this here, many thanks to tonbo_no_arashi who helped me [and hopefully is going to 繰り返す with that in the future, too♥] out in a couple of places I either was clueless, or just didn't seem to find the right ... twist. [Darlin', in case there are any huge or minor mistakes violating your eyes, please do give notice ^ ^'] 感謝〜w
So here we go. 漢字 from kusanoo, ローマ字 and translation done by me. Katakana are in CAPS, notes at the end of the translation. You know the game, don't repost without credits and link to the original source. [= this post] ^ ^
in the rain
手を振る影 新しい術で
川を泳ぐ魚を 針で列ね
見上げてる天へ 捧ぐ子供 知らぬ弱さ
チクタク…チクタク…流れる
愛も欲もその手の平に伏せて
チクタク…チクタク…思い出せば
不完全な空合い
答えて欲しい この体、汚れきった涙の跡
余生の方が勝るような 不確かな今に怯え
そうカメラが映していた 悲劇は何も伝えなかった
強くない 強くない
僕らを洗い流す雨を待つ
眺めてる光景 悲しげな情景は 不幸の雨で 汚れる
砕いて欲しいこのまま 焼かれきった史上の愛楽
長い夢に醒めるような 現実をどこかに望み
”おかえり”憔悴の中 優しさはいつもそばにあるの
怖くない 怖くない
僕らを洗う黒い雨が降る
チクタク…チクタク…流れる
愛も欲もその手の平に伏せて
チクタク…チクタク…思い出せば
君が見える あの空の向こうで
チクタク…チクタク…流れる
愛も欲もその手の平に伏せて
チクタク…チクタク…思い出せば
あの日の笑顔に逢いたいよ
伝えて欲しいこの愛を 消えてしまったあの人へ
長い嘘であったなら どれだけの救いになるんだ
途絶えて均しいこの愛は いつか波に呑まれようと
届くはずだ 届くはずだ
僕らはその「今」に生きて死ぬ

Translation
The shadow waving a hand in a new manner
The fish that are swimming across the stream line them up on a fishing hook [see 1]
To the heaven you stare up at the sacrificed child an unknown weakness
CHIKUTAKU... CHIKUTAKU [3] flowing
love and desire, hide them in these palms [4]
CHIKUTAKU... CHIKUTAKU... if I remember
the defective course of events
I want you to answer this body, the trace of the tears that have finished getting dirtied
Startled by the indefinite now that seems as if it excels the rest of one's time
The tragedy so reflected by the camera didn't convey anything
Not strong not strong [5]
Waiting for the rain that washes us away
The stared at scenery the seemingly sad sight [see 2] is being dirtied in the rain of sorrow
I want you to smash the historical loving that has finished burning, as it is
Somewhere wishing for that reality that seems like awakening into a dream
While emaciating 'welcome homes' is there always gentleness by?
Not afraid not afraid [see 5]
The black rain that washes us away, is falling. [6]
CHIKUTAKU... CHIKUTAKU flowing
love and desire, hide them in these palms
CHIKUTAKU... CHIKUTAKU... if I remember
You're visible beyond that sky
CHIKUTAKU... CHIKUTAKU flowing
love and desire, hide them in these palms
CHIKUTAKU... CHIKUTAKU... if I remember
I want to meet the smile of that day.
I want you to convey this love to that person who disappeared
If it was a long lie how much would it take to save me
"This ceased and equal love will someday be swallowed by the waves"
Ought to reach ought to reach
We are living and dying in this 'now'.
[1] Instead of singing 列ね'retsu ne' as in the lyrics, he sings 'tsure ne'. That way, instead of saying "The fish that are swimming across the stream string them up on a fishing hook" which is more of what the lyrics say, he changes the image into something 'nice' like "lead them across the stream with a fishing hook". I love wordplays.
[2] Instead of 情景joukei (sight, scene), he seems to sing ai (love)
[3] Chikutaku is an onomatopoeia (not to be found in my dictionaries), it could be -what it sounds most like- our 'tick-tock', or it might depict the sound of either the splashing of the rain drops, or whatever might be streaming from wherever (for example what is hidden in the palms), making these sounds as it drops down. [I also liked that 'Chikuchiku' depicts prickling pain. Makes me think of the rain as a prickling pain.]
[4] Please don't think of trees here xD
[5] I chose to leave these lines untouched, though note that the way they are put into the text, they could also reference to the 'we' of the next line. In these lines → "us, who aren't strong"/"us, who aren't afraid".
[6] Black rain = radioactive, polluted rain that falls after nuclear explosions. I chose to leave 'black rain' as it is, since it sounds better than putting the whole tail into the line. Just know what it really means. ^ ^
Maa nee... please don 't kill me ♥
After reading through the song so often, right now I hold a rather clear picture of the scene and what's happening in my mind - but that's just my personal interpretation, you might see something totally different.
Interpretations anyone?
