I posted this on Twitter, but only just got the energy to post it properly here. I translated Kisumai's Smilest which is from the To-y2 album. The lyrics are really positive so it's a nice song to listen to if you need motivation. Usual rules apply, please give credit if you use my translations somewhere. Enjoy <3
Smilest
Translation
It seems easy to run away
and difficult to keep going
We keep bumping into walls
But, it’ll definitely be okay
because we are not alone.
I have you, who gives me courage
so i’m able to be strong
You work so hard, I want to build a place
where you can feel at ease.
Smile, smile, with a heart more pure than anyone else
I have you beside me, it’s all i wish for.
Smile, smile, don’t avert your eyes.
Smile warmly, because you are an irreplaceable, beautiful person.
Whether it’s your smile, tearful voice, laughing or stressed wrinkle.
Your everything, your breath, forever.
Smile, smile, i’m here for you.
Whenever you need me, I am shining brightly by your side.
The best smile, smilest.
It’s easy to regret things,
and hard to keep laughing.
Life isn’t just the good things.
But, i want to love you, no matter what day
So we can keep moving forwards together.
Our memories are irreplaceable and will shine brightly, but
To us, the present [time] which is right in front of us is brighter than anything.
Smile, smile, shine brighter than anyone else.
You are already the you that you want to become*
[*t/n: in other words, you may want things to be different about yourself but you don’t need that because you already have it, you are perfect the way you are]
Smile, smile, wipe your tears
Smile warmly, you’re a beautiful person who will become stronger.
Whether it’s your true face, your voice when you talk, your messy hair, your way of speaking,
Your everything, your existence, forever.
Smile, smile, i’m here for you.
Whenever you need me, I am shining brightly by your side.
The best smile, smilest.
Keep smiling.
Sometimes we have to cry, but then we’ll face forward.
I’ll keep a strong grip on your hand.
The miracle of us meeting made me stronger, so i want to keep going forward with you.
I want to keep going forward with you..
Smile, smile, with a heart more pure than anyone else
I have you beside me, it’s all i wish for.
Smile, smile, don’t avert your eyes.
Smile warmly, because you are an irreplaceable, beautiful person.
Whether it’s your smile, tearful voice, laughing or stressed wrinkle.
Your everything, your breath, forever.
Smile, smile, i’m here for you.
Whenever you need me, I am shining brightly by your side.
The best smile, smilest.
