Ikimono Gakari - Hotaru no Hikari lyrics + translation

First I saw Big Bang performance of Gara Gara Go on Music Station and I discovered Kobukuro was happened to be there too. So I downloaded and watched the whole program and I saw Ikimono Gakari performed Hotaru no Hikari. I really liked the song and the performance. If you are a fan of Ikimono Gakari or like this song, you should watch it. The performance was great since Ikimono Gakari sings live very good. But the best thing is the light effects of the stage. It was really gorgous.

Translation Note: I translate this song as the way I understand it. There some places, although it is not mentioned, I think they means "fireflies"... You understand what I mean when you read the translation. If you find any mistake, please tell me. I would appriciate a lot. And, I really put a lot of efforts to this, so if you take out, please be nice and credit me :)

Ah, just another thing. There's some part of the romaji, where you will hear "yuku" instead of "iku". This is what I found out after done writing all the romaji down. In the lyrics, it is writen in Hiragana as "iku", I don't know why they sing "yuku" though ^^! Anyway, since they are two different pronunciations of a same word, and I was a little lazy to replace them all, so please pardon me.



Ikimono Gakari - Hotaru no Hikari (Romaji)

SHA LA LA itsuka kitto boku wa te ni surun da
Hakanaki mune ni sotto hikari moeteike

Aitaku naru no “shoudou” nakitaku naru no “junjou”
Natsu no hi ni tobikonda hotaru wa kaeranai

Anata wa nanimo iwazu kuchizuke wo nokoshite
Kizu tsuku mama unazuita ne
Kanashii hodo inochi yurameiteita

SHA LA LA itsuka kitto boku wa te ni surun da
Hakanaki mune ni sotto hikari moeteike
SHA LA LA itoshiki hito anata mo mieteiru no
Mabayui tsuki ga sotto ashita wo terashite
Tsuyoku tsuyoku kagayaite

Kaze ni fukareru hodo hageshiku naru kokoro ni
Hagure sou na omoide ga mata yasashiku tomoru

Muchuu de kakedashitara furerareru ki ga shita
Omomuku mama te wo nobasu yo
Setsunai hodo inochi yurameite iku

SHA LA LA boku wa zutto uta itsuzukete iku yo
Furueru mune ni sotto hikari moeteike
SHA LA LA Itoshiki hito anata ni todoku youni
Hatenai sora ni sotto omoi tsunorasete
Tsuyoku tsuyoku hibikasete

SHA LA LA itsuka kitto hotaru wa moetsuki chitte
Kie yuku mune ni sotto yume yo kagayaite
SHA LA LA itoshiki hito anata mo wasurenai de
Kirameku natsu ni sotto negai wo kasanete

SHA LA LA itsuka kitto boku wa te ni surun da
Hakanaki mune ni sotto hikari moeteike
SHA LA LA itoshiki hito anata mo mieteiru no
Hazuyui tsuki ga sotto ashita wo terashite
Tsuyoku tsuyoku kagayaite

Ikimono Gakari - Hotaru no Hikari (Translation)

Ikimono Gakari - Light of Fireflies

SHA LA LA Someday, I’ll definitely be able to obtain it (**I don't really what "it" is since there's no mention about it)
In those fragile hearts, gentle lights glow up

The urge to see you, the pure feeling that wants to cries
All pours out to the flame of summer, the fireflies just don’t return

Without a word, you left me after a kiss
Just letting themselves burn like that, they nodded
Such sad lives that they were flickering (***I think she means the fleeting life of a firefly)

SHA LA LA Someday, I’ll definitely be able to obtain it
In those fragile hearts, gentle lights glow up
SHA LA LA I’m looking at both those dear ones and you (**dear ones = fireflies)
The dazzling moon gently lights up tomorrow
Please shine brighter, brighter

Puffing up like a gust of wind, in my bitter heart
The straying memories shine gently again

If I had dashed for it absorbedly, I would have had reached it
But as my will is still the same, I’ll stretch out my hands again
Such agonizing lives that they start to flicker

SHA LA LA I will always sing this song
In those trembling hearts, gentle lights glow up
SHA LA LA my beloved person, so that it can reach you
In this endless sky, I intensify my tender feelings
Please echo stronger stronger

SHA LA LA someday, surely, the fireflies will scatter away after burning themselves out
In those fading hearts, dreams are shining gently
SHA LA LA I won’t forget neither those dear ones nor you
In this sparkling summer, I gently make a wish again

SHA LA LA Someday, I’ll definitely be able to obtain it
In those fragile hearts, gentle lights glow up
SHA LA LA I’m looking at both those dear ones and you
The dazzling moon gently lights up tomorrow
Please shine brighter, brighter

Ikimono Gakari - Hotaru no Hikaru (Kanji)

ホタルノヒカリ - いきものがかり

作詞:水野良樹 作曲:水野良樹

SHA LA LA いつかきっと 僕は手にするんだ
はかなき 胸に そっと ひかり 燃えていけ

逢いたくなるの「衝動」哭きたくなるの「純情」
夏の火に飛び込んだ ホタルはかえらない

あなたは何も言わず接吻(くちづけ)を残して
火傷(きず)つくまま うなづいたね
哀しいほど命 揺らめいていた

SHA LA LA いつかきっと 僕は手にするんだ
はかなき 胸に そっと ひかり 燃えていけ
SHA LA LA 愛しきひと あなたもみえているの
まばゆい 月が そっと 明日を照らして
強く 強く 輝いて

風に吹かれるほど 烈しくなる心に
はぐれそうな想い出が また優しく灯る

夢中で駆けだしたら 触れられる気がした
意志(おもむ)くまま 手を伸ばすよ
切ないほど命 揺らめいていく

SHA LA LA 僕はずっと 唄いつづけていくよ
ふるえる 胸に そっと ひかり 燃えていけ
SHA LA LA 愛しきひと あなたに届くように
はてない 空に そっと 想い つのらせて
強く 強く 響かせて

SHA LA LA いつかきっと ホタルは燃え尽き散って
きえゆく 胸に そっと 夢よ 輝いて
SHA LA LA 愛しきひと あなたも忘れないで
きらめく 夏に そっと 願いを重ねて

SHA LA LA いつかきっと 僕は手にするんだ
はかなき 胸に そっと ひかり 燃えていけ
SHA LA LA 愛しきひと あなたもみえているの
まばゆい 月が そっと 明日を照らして
強く 強く 輝いて

Big Bang sits next to Kobukuro!!!

Well, actually they sit before Kobukuro on Music Sation ^^! Never imagined Big Bang and Kobukuro would sit together like this ^^ And Kobukuro turn is even next to Big Bang ^^ Well, they don't actually talk to each other, and they might not actually notice each other, but still, I find this funny ^^. And what's more, Ikimonogari is the one who do the interview ^^ I kind of like the girl, she has strong voice and their songs are always bright and full of energy. I don't know, but I find this is extremely funny ^^ Just wish that Big Bang would make friend with Kobukuro, which would never happen T_T Their musics are like two parallel lines.

About the performance, I think I like it. I actually did not like Gara Gara Go very much but it's grown on me... Haha, I don't have much to talk about it ^^! But I think they did a great performance.

Kobukuro - STAY lyrics + translation

Kobukuro's new single ^^. I fell in love with them over and over again. Their songs have always been so soothing and deep. This song may not be my most favorites, but I still love it. It is a sad song... Ahhh, I'm always moved by their lyrics, and now I feel sad too ^^!

About the translation, well, I'm not 100% sure whether I translate it right. I love Kobukuro's lyrics, but their lyrics are always the hardest to translate. Sometimes, there are just too many thing said in one sentence, and I don't know how to put it in English words so that when other read it, they would feel the way as I am T_T If you find any error in my translation, please tell me :) And please, if you take this out to post anywhere else, be nice and credit me, okay ^^



Kobukuro - STAY (Romaji)

Aisubeki hito to deai subete wo ushinatte
Sabaku no youna kokoro ni saku hana wo ai to yobu

Shinjiau sore dake de michi ga umarete yuku
Yorisoi ai kizutsuke ai sonna hibi hodo itoshii

Kurushikatta kara koso waraiaeta ne
Nani mo mamorenai kono ude de dakishimeta

Mou nidou to aenai hazu no anata ga boku no namae wo yonderu
Furikaeru basho mo nai kiku koe ta no wa kitto
Boku no kokoro no naka dake itsumo kokoro no naka dake

Ano hi kara kyo made ni boku ga nakushita mono
Zenbu anata no naka ni aru kara narabe nagara kono michi wo

Anata ga aruite kite kuretara boku wa
Hitotsu zutsu torimodoshi nagara ano koro no

Boku ni natte mou ichidou anata to ikite mitai
Kawari hateta kono machi no youna kokoro wo sabaku ni modoshite

Machiawase mo yakusoku mo dekinai kara ima mo kono machi ni iru yo
Guuzen mo nidou me ni wa unmei da yo kitto oshiete kureta no wa
Anata

Kagayaiteta kioku kara kieteku noni hohoemi bakari ga ukabu
Ano kaze ga nemutteru yanagi no shita de haruka na omoi ga nijimu toki

Mou nidou to aenai hazu no anata ga boku no namae wo yonderu
Furikaeru basho mo nai kiku koe ta no wa kitto
Boku no kokoro no naka dake itsumo kokoro no naka dake

Kono machi no doko ni mo anata wa inai kedo
Wakatteite mo kanjitetai
Kono hana ga kareru made wa

Kobukuro - STAY (Translation)

The lovable person and encounters, all have been lost
In this heart like a desert, I call out for blossom flowers and love

Believe in each other, only that way can we build the path
Embracing each other, hurting each other, those were dear days

Because it was painful, we were able to smile at each other
With these arms that cannot protect anything, I hugged you

You, the one I thought never to be able to meet again, are calling my name
Since there’s no place to look back, the voice that I heard, surely,
I will keep it only in my heart, always, only in my heart

From that day till today, I’ve been lost
While lining on this road that exists entirely in you (*???)

If you might ever walk with me again, I will
Step by step, get us back to that time

Please come to me, I wish to live with you one more time
But nothing could be changed anymore, like this town, my heart turns back to desert

Because I can’t keep neither our rendezvous nor our promises, now I'm still at this town
“Meeting by chance the second time is destiny, definitely”, the one who taught me that
Was you

As I lose myself to those glowing memories, smiles rise on my face
That wind is sleeping under the willow tree, the long-ago feeling gets blurred by time

You, the one I thought never to be able to meet again, are calling my name
Since there’s no place to look back, the voice that I heard, surely,
I will keep it only in my heart, always only in my heart

Wherever it is in this town, you are not here
I know, but still I want to feel
This flower till it withers

Kobukuro - STAY (Kanji)

STAY - コブクロ


作詞:小渕健太郎 作曲:小渕健太郎

愛すべき 人と出会い 全てを失って
砂漠のような心に 咲く花を 愛と呼ぶ

信じ合う それだけで 道が生まれてゆく
寄り添いあい 傷つけ合い そんな日々ほど愛しい

苦しかったからこそ 笑い合えたね
何も守れないこの腕で 抱きしめた

もう二度と会えないはずのあなたが 僕の名前を呼んでる
振り返る場所も無い 聴こえたのは きっと 僕の心の中だけ
いつも心の中だけ

あの日から 今日までに 僕が無くしたもの
全部あなたの中にあるから 並べながら この道を

あなたが歩いてきてくれたら 僕は
一つづつ 取り戻しながら あの頃の

僕になって もう一度 あなたと生きてみたい
変わり果てた この街のような 心を砂漠に戻して

待ち合わせも 約束も出来ないから 今も この街に居るよ
偶然も 二度目には 運命だよきっと 教えてくれたのは
あなた

輝いてた記憶から消えてくのに 微笑みばかりが浮かぶ
あの風が眠ってる 柳の下で 遥かな想いが滲む時

もう二度と会えないはずのあなたが 僕の名前を呼んでる
振り返る 場所も無い 聴こえたのはきっと
僕の心の中だけ いつも心の中だけ

この街の 何処にも あなたは居ないけど
分かっていても 感じてたい
この花が 枯れるまでは

Big Bang - Emotion lyrics + translation

Note: If you feel irritated with the"Ride here" and "Ride now" in the lyrics, just want to let you know I do too. But I've checked the booklet of the CD, it IS written "Ride here" and "Ride now" T_T. You can see for yourself here (Credit Susana@livejournal for the pic). So, although I feel irritated, I think I should just let it be the way it is. Second note is that all the English part in the lyrics are typed in italic so that it would be easier for you to different between the original English lyrics and the translation ^^
