Shounen Lyrics
Was going through my music folder and trying to clean it out when I found this one again. I really enjoy Nino's short version of "Shounen", played on Baystorm in February 2008, but the original by Keitaku (released in 2006) is really nice as well. I'd recommend you to check out both versions and tell me which one you liked.
Kanji:
光化学スモッグの空と
工事現場のダンプカー
鉄くずで作った星屑
ギザギザの10円玉
赤く光ったカブトムシ
コールタールの蜃気楼
そうやっていくんだ そうやっていくんだ
そうやっていくんだ あの日から
夢をくわえた少年が伝説の人になる
タイムマシーンはいらない
その瞳で見ててくれ
死んでしまった友達と
金を掴んだ弱虫と
消えてしまった電話ボックス
「もしもし」が泣いている
言葉は人を殺す
バーチャルな夕日 指先が沈めた
そうやっていくんだ そうやっていくんだ
そうやっていくんだ この道を
夢をくわえた少年が伝説の人になる
タイムマシーンはいらない
その瞳で見ててくれ
君が愛した少年が伝説の人になる
タイムマシーンはいらない
その瞳で見ててくれ
Romanji:
Koukagaku sumoggu no sora to
Kouji genba no danpu ka-
Tetsu kuzu de tsukutta hoshikuzu
Giza giza no juu en dama
Akaku hikatta kabuto mushi
Ko-ru ta-ru no shinkirou
Sou yatte ikunda, sou yatte ikunda
Sou yatte ikunda, ano hi kara
Yume wo kuwaeta shounen ga densetsu no hito ni naru
Taimu mashi-n wa iranai
Sono me de mitete kure
Shinde shimatta tomodachi to
Kare wo tsukan da yowamushi to
Kiete shimatta denwa bokkusu
"Moshi moshi" ga naiteiru
Kotoba wa hito wo korosu
Ba-charu na yuuhi yubisaki ga shizumeta
Sou yatte ikunda, sou yatte ikunda
Sou yatte ikunda, kono michi wo
Yume wo kuwaeta shounen ga densetsu no hito ni naru
Taimu mashi-n wa iranai
Sono me de mitete kure
Kimi ga aishita shounen ga densetsu no hito ni naru
Taimu mashi-n wa iranai
Sono me de mitete kure
English:
A sky of photochemical smog
And construction dump trucks
Stardust made from iron scraps
A jagged-edged 10 yen coin
A beetle that shined red
And a mirage from the coal tar
That's how I've been living That's how I've been living
That's how I've been living Since that day
The boy who took ahold of his dreams will become a legend
There's no need for a time machine
Look at it with those eyes of yours
Friends that have already passed away
Cowards that got ahold of some money
A telephone booth that has gone dead
And a crying "hello"
Words can kill people
My finger sank into a virtual setting sun
That's how I've been living That's how I've been living
That's how I've been living On this road
The boy who took ahold of his dreams will become a legend
There's no need for a time machine
Look at it with those eyes of yours
The boy who was loved by you will become a legend
There's no need for a time machine
Look at it with those eyes of yours
