Psycho le Cemu - Akiramenai DAYS (english translation)



あきらめないDAYS / Don't Give Up Days*

Music and Lyrics: Lida

The hands of a stopped clock have suddenly started moving again
It's like a miracle
You'll never forget,**
So you always need to keep running

Do you see what you need to do?
That's it, now's the time to risk everything and go!

It's not time to give up yet
Because I still want to shout
And I have my sights set on a new ray of hope

You absolutely can't give up!
Because I still want to run more
I'm going to take back the time that was stolen from me
And find the meaning in it

Even now, I still can't forget the scenery I dreamed of
I'm like a child
It seems like it's within a reachable distance,
And if that's not a lie,
I just need to keep believing as I move forward

You rescued something that I love
So that's it, now's the time to hold on tight to all of it and go!

Light is coming down, shining on tomorrow
My heart is filled with an infinite supply of spirit
Because I want to grab hold of a boundless future

You absolutely can't give up!
So we can smile in the end,
I'm searching for a meaning that will explain that hidden time

Have you noticed all the riddles around you?
That's it, give an answer that transcends words and go!***

It's not time to give up yet
Because I still want to scream
And I have my sights set on a new ray of hope

You absolutely can't give up!
Because I still want to run more
We're going to continue taking back the time that was stolen from us

There are more brand new days ahead
More brand new days

Notes:
*The title is a play on “Akiramenaide” (“Don't give up”), and unfortunately it's kind of hard to communicate that in English
**,***I'm not sure about these lines

あきらめないDAYS / Akiramenai DAYS

Tomatteta tokei no byoushin ga mata ugokidasu

EVERLONG - Yonagi (english translation)

This is a little sketchy, so don't take my word for it if something sounds wrong, but I really wanted to try to do an EVERLONG track in English. There's something really sweet - almost childish - about the tone of Mitsuhiro's lyrics.



ヨナギ / Evening Calm

God doesn't exist, but
Even if there's no one to hear,
Somehow, I still find myself praying now

“There's no such thing as eternal life”
The girl who told me that,
She already can't go to the land of toys

You're drifting about and sleeping on a sunken ship
And now, I'm riding on the back of a whale that's rocking from side to side, side to side*
Searching for you

You're not here,
And I have every night of my life left to sail until I find you**

You're not here,
And I have every night of my life left to sail until I find you
Right?

Your red blood has a timbre that can melt through the ice
Somewhere, even now, it's still flowing

Our never-ending love was blazing,
And that fire is still burning gently now,
So it can light your way wherever you are

You're smoking a cigarette by the shoreline,
And the smoke is obscuring your outline
While I'm searching for you

You're not here,
And I have every night of my life left to sail until I find you

You're not here,
And I have every night of my life left to sail until I find you
Right?

You're drifting about and sleeping on a sunken ship
And now, I'm riding on the back of a whale that's rocking from side to side, side to side,
Searching for you

You're not here,
And I have every night of my life left to sail until I find you

You're not here,
And I have every night of my life left to sail until I find you
Right?

Notes:
*In hindsight, it might actually be the girl riding the whale - it's not really clear
**I don't know if I'm reading this right, but I think the idea is that the girl has passed away and he's searching for her in his dreams

ヨナギ / Yonagi
