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

Edit: Thanks to Linda for pointing out my mistake. I've already corrected it :) Hope I get it right this time ^^

This is one of my most favorites of Kobukuro. I just love it :) Please don't forget to credit me (CarepJan) if you take it out. Thank you.

Kobukuro - Toki no Ashioto (Romaji)

Wakare no kisetsu ni yureru hakanaki ichirin ka
Onaji nukumori no kaze wo dare mo ga sagashite aruiteru

Deai wa sora ni nagareru oboro gumo no shita de
Kasanari au tokei no hari no you ni yukkuri to yukkuri to
Mawari hajimeru

Mijikai hari ga kimi nara nagai hari ga boku de
Onaji jikan wo kizami nagara nando mo sure chigai mata deai
Aruku hohaba wa chigatte mo egaku mirai ga onaji nara
Daijoubu mata onaji basho kara hajimerareru kara

"Ganbatta kedo dame datta ne"
"Makechatta kedo kakko yokatta ne"
Ironna tane wo moratta kotoba ga kokoro ni mizu wo yaru

Mijikai haru ni saku yume nagai fuyu wo koete
Kokoro no oku ni atsumeta tane wa donna hikari de sodatsu no darou
Hodou no kage ni saku hana dare to tame ni aru no darou
"Dare no tame demo nai yo" to kagayaku kimi ni terasareteru

Omoi ga kotoba ni kawaru yo kotoba ga hikari wo yonderu
Hikari ga hora kage wo tsukuru kage de hito wa tsuyoku nareru
Tsuyosa ga yasashi sa ni kawaru yasashi sa ga dai wo yonderu
Deai ga michi wo tsukuru kono michi ni mata omoi wo kizamu

Mijikai hari ga tomareba nagai hari mo tomaru
Onaji itami wo wakeaeru koto itsushi ka yorokobi ni kawaru kara
Dare mo ga hitori hitotsu isshun ichibyou ichidokiri makimodosenai toki wo
Tamerawazu ikiteyukeru sonna deai wo sagashiteru
Hitori hitotsu isshun ichibyou ichidokiri
Deaete yokatta

Kobukuro - Toki no Ashioto (translation)
Kobukuro - Footsteps of Time

In the season of farewell, a fraigile flower is trembling
Everyone is looking for the same warmth in the wind

Under this hazy sky, encounters are flowing
Just like the overlaps of a clock's hands, slowly, slowly
Begin to turn around again

If you are the short hand (of a clock), then I'll be the long hand
Because we go through the same time, no matter how many times we passed each other, we'll surely meet again
Even though our paces are different, because we draw the same future,
So it's alright, we can always start at the same place again

"I tried, but it was no good"
"Even though it was no good, we did it well"
The colorful seed of words you gave me, I'll water it in my heart

Dreams blossom in the fleeting spring, please last through the long winter
Deep in my heart, the seed that I got, in what kind of light will it flourish?
Those blossom flowers in the shadow of the sidewalk, for whom do they exist?
"They don't exist for anyone", you said, glowing under their illuminations

Thoughts turn to words, and words call out light
Light makes shadow, and in shadows, people grows stronger
Strength turns to kindness, and kindness calls out encounters
Encounters carve out road, and on this road thoughts are formed again

If the short hand stops, the long hand too, will stop
Because we share our pains, they'll turn to joy before we know it
Everyone has one person, one thing, one instant, one second, one chance
Without hesitation, they live the time that won't turn back; such an encounter is what I'm searching for
Just one person, one thing, one instant, one second, one chance
I'm glad that I met you

Kobukuro - Toki no Ashioto (Kanji)

コブクロ - 時の足音

別れの 季節に揺れる 儚き 一輪花
同じ温もりの風を 誰もが探して歩いてる

出逢いは 空に流れる おぼろ雲の下で
重なり合う 時計の針のように ゆっくりと ゆっくりと
回り始める

短い針が君なら 長い針が僕で
同じ時間を刻みながら 何度もすれ違い また出逢い
歩く歩幅は違っても 描く未来が同じなら
大丈夫 また 同じ場所から 始められるから

「頑張ったけど、 だめだったね。」
「負けちゃったけど、 かっこ良かったね。」
色んな種をもらった 言葉が 心に 水をやる

短い春に咲く夢 長い冬を越えて
心の奥に集めた種は どんな 光で育つのだろう?
歩道の影に咲く花 誰の為にあるのだろう?
「誰の為でもないよ。」 と 輝く 君に照らされてる


想いが言葉に変わるよ 言葉が光を呼んでる
光がほら影を作る 影で人は強くなれる
強さが優しさに変わる 優しさが出逢いを呼んでる
出逢いが 道を創る この道に また 想いを刻む

短い針が止まれば 長い針も止まる
同じ痛みを分け合える事 いつしか喜びに変わるから
誰もが 一人 一つ 一瞬 一秒 一度きり 巻き戻せない時 を
躊躇わず 生きてゆける そんな出逢いを 探してる
一人 一つ 一瞬 一秒 一度きり

出逢えて 良かった
