ROMAJI / ENGLISH TRANSLATION:

Furisosogu hizashi wa
The downpouring sunlight

Yurameita keshiki ni
In a swaying landscape

La la ha ha ha La la ha ha ha
La la ha ha ha Hah Hah

La la ha ha ha La la ha ha ha
La la ha ha ha Hah 

Ikudo mo sasayaku sazanami ashi wo nurasu
Minamo ni kakureta michi mizuumi wo kudaru
The ripples whisper countless times, as I dip my feet into the water
Through the road hidden under the water’s surface, I descend into the lake


Itanda kotoba mo kawaita tegami mo shizukesa no naka de oyogeru kara
Both the pained words, and the dried-up letters, can swim away in the middle of this peace

Furisosogu hizashi wa tayutau mizu no iro utsusu you ni aoku somatte shizumu
Yurameita keshiki ni potsuri to nobiru michi oto no nai ippo ni
Sora e to nigiteiku kihou
The downpouring sunlight drowns & dyes me in blue, as if reflecting the color of drifting waters
In the swaying landscape, I continue alone on this path with a soundless step
Like a bubble escaping to the sky 


Motto fukaku motto shizukana basho e to
Ame mo kumo mo wasurerareru you ni
Towards a deeper, quieter place
Where I’ll be able to forget both the rain and the clouds


Chigireta tsuki shiro kara hai kuro ni kawari
Sashikomu hikaru to odoru gyogun ni mazatta
The broken moon fades from white to grey, and then black
As I dance in the light shining down, I am mixed into a school of fish


Ekishou ga yoru wo tsunzaite hibiku usuakari de mata me wo samasu
Nureta kotoba wo nijinda tegami wo odayaka ni yureru nami no naka de tokasu kara
The liquid crystals resound as they tear the night apart, and I awaken again under a dim light
As the wet words and the blurred letters gently sway, they will melt inside the waves someday


Minasoko no yuuhodou ayumu ipponmichi ikidomari no heya ni tomatta akari
Asa wo sekasu koto mo yume ni umeku koto mo subete mizu ni ukabe kitto wasurete
On my promenade at the sea bottom, I walk on an unforked path, and upon reaching the dead-ended room, a lamp remains lit
Both the rushed mornings, and the groans in my dreams, will all float above the water, and surely be forgotten


Furisosogu hizashi wa tayutau mizu no iro utsusu you ni aoku somatte shizumu 
Yurameita keshiki ni potsuri to nobiru michi oto no nai ippo ni
Sora e to nigeteyuku kihou
The downpouring sunlight drowns & dyes me in blue, as if reflecting the color of drifting waters
In the swaying landscape, I continue on this path alone with a soundless step
Like a bubble escaping to the sky


Motto fukaku motto shizukana basho e to
Ame mo kumo mo wasurerareru you ni
Towards a deeper, quieter place
Where I’ll be able to forget both the rain and the clouds

La la ha ha ha La la ha ha ha
La la ha ha ha Hah Hah 

La la ha ha ha La la ha ha ha
La la ha ha ha Hah 

Furisosogu hizashi wa
The downpouring sunlight

Yurameita keshiki ni
In a swaying landscape

Thank you for reading!

This time, I tried translating the fourth track to Reol’s new album, composed by one of my favorite producers Camellia-P! Featuring a sea theme, this song maintains a beautifully surreal atmosphere while incorporating EDM beats, & captured my attention the moment it was partially released in the crossfade (❁´▽`❁)*✲゚* Hopefully, you’ll be able to appreciate the song as much as I did!

JAPANESE LYRICS:

僕の知らないところで誰か
僕を見かけたと噂した
君の見ていたものは全て
笑っちゃうような冗談だ
二人の呼吸を満たして
足りない愛を探した
背中に舌を這わせて
吐息で夜を描いた

偽りだらけの存在
この世界も 踊ろう 踊ろう
手のひらで踊ろうよ

君に触れたら 今じゃフザイな
ボクの名前を教えてくれる?
そんなことすら出来ないくせして
愛憎も密で浸るほどに

Lost in 伏せ目のメイズ

時計の秒針で穴を開けた
ブランデーが意を燻らせる
心の隙間と未来の瀬と
空っぽの愛で沈んでいく

欲を言えば無条件の
愛情を注がれてみたかった
狭く霞んだ視界には 何も 何も
何も色付いちゃいないんだ

ボクを囲んだ煙はどれも
ボクを彩るヴェールになる
辻褄合わせ お望みどおりに
キスをしよう

誰も知らない 今じゃフザイな
ボクの行方は捨ててしまった
迷っていたんだ 心の迷路に
愛憎も蜜で浸るほど
そう 夜も傅いていく

Lost in 伏せ目のメイズ

ROMAJI:

Boku no shiranai tokoro de dare ka
Boku wo mikaketa to uwasa shita
Kimi no miteita mono wa subete
Waracchau you na joudan da
Futari no kokyuu wo mitashite
Tarinai ai wo sagashita
Senaka ni shita wo hawasete
Toiki de yoru wo kaita

Itsuwari darake no sonzai
Kono sekai mo odorou, odorou
Te no hira de odorou yo

Kimi ni furetara, ima ja fuzai na
Boku no namae wo oshiete kureru?
Sonna koto sura dekinai kuse shite
Aizou mo mitsu de hitaru hodo ni

Lost in fuseme no maze

Tokei no byoushin de ana wo aketa
Brandy ga i wo kuyuraseru
Kokoro no sukima to mirai no se to
Karappo no ai de shizunde iku

Yoku wo ieba mujouken no
Aijou wo sosogarete mitakatta
Semaku kasunda shikai ni wa, nani mo, nani mo,
Nani mo iro tsuichainainda

Boku wo kakonda kemuri wa dore mo
Boku wo irodoru veil ni naru
Tsujitsuma awase onozomi doori ni
Kiss wo shiyou

Dare mo shiranai ima ja fuzai na
Boku no yukue wa sutete shimatta
Mayotteitanda kokoro no meiro ni
Aizou mo mitsu de hitaru hodo
Sou yoru mo kashizuiteiku

Lost in fuseme no maze

ENGLISH TRANSLATION: 

In a place that I don’t know about,
Someone spread a rumor of seeing me
But everything that you had seen
Is just a laughing joke

As both of our breaths fulfilled each other
We search for a love that we lacked
Letting my tongue crawl up your back
We painted the night with gasps

With an existence filled only with falsehoods,
Let’s dance, let’s dance in this world as well
Dance on the palm of my hand

When I’m embraced by you, the present doesn’t matter
Could you tell me what my name is?
Even though you can’t even do something like that,
My love & hate for you is quenched in secrets

Lost in a hazy-eyed maze

I opened a hole in the second hand of my clock
The brandy let me smolder away my will
With the gap in my heart & waves of the future,
I continue drowning in an empty love

If I were to speak of my desires,
I only want to be filled with a limitless love
In this narrow, hazy field of vision, nothing, nothing
Nothing is changing in color

Every wisp of smoke that encircles me
Becomes a veil that paints me in color
While matching our stories to each other, I’ll do as you desire
Let’s kiss

Nobody knows, the present doesn’t matter
I threw away my whereabouts
I was lost in the maze of my heart
My love & hate for you is quenched in secrets
Yes, I’ll be waiting on this night as well

Lost in a hazy-eyed maze

Thanks for reading! 

This time, I challenged myself to translating the newly-released “Lost in a Maze” by luz x Mafumafu! Given that this song hasn’t even been posted on Japanese lyric sites yet, it was fun to transcribe & translate everything from scratch, & I especially enjoyed the process when thinking about how Mafumafu (yes, that Mafumafu) wrote the lyrics (≡^∇^≡) The song is fun & detail-ridden, & I find it amazing how both Mafumafu & luz’s musical tastes blend so well here (❁´▽`❁)*✲゚*

JAPANESE LYRICS:

君のこと好きだよなんて誰かが嘯く
人に興味などありゃしないのにどうして?
右の人が嘲笑う 吊革が鳴いて
ガタンゴトン始まるよ車輪のループ

揺れてる僕は泣いてる
なのにあっちもこっちも皆笑っているんだ
どうして何も分からない

始業のベルが鳴り響く
今日も変わらない一日が今始まる
喧騒雑踏に紛れてる僕は一体誰なんだ

誰にもいっちゃ駄目だよと秘め事を共有
人類皆誰もがhole brothe[r]s & pole sisters
そんなことあるかなんて誰が決めたの
嘘か真か、真実なんて誰にも分からないだろうが

あっちもこっちも皆笑っているんだ
無為を成すかの井戸端と後ろ指

終業のベルが鳴り響く
何も変わらないまま僕が終わっていく
喧騒雑踏に紛れてるタガの外れた影法師

さぁゴシップに華を咲かせましょう
あることないことを語り明かそうよ
春夏秋冬を写し出す
終わらない車輪の閉回路

ROMAJI:

Kimi no koto suki dayo nante Dare ka ga usobuku
Hito ni kyoumi nado arya shinai noni doushite?
Migi no hito ga azawarau Tsurikawa ga naite
Gatan, Goton hajimaru yo Sharin no loop

Yureteru boku wa naiteru
Nanoni acchi mo kocchi mo minna waratteirunda
Doushite nanimo wakaranai

Shigyou no beru (bell) ga narihibiku
Kyou mo kawaranai ichinichi ga ima hajimaru
Kensouzattou ni magireteru boku wa ittai dare nanda

Dare ni mo iccha dame dayo to himegoto wo kyouyuu
Jinrui minna dare mo ga hole brothe®s & pole sisters
Sonna koto aru ka nante dare ga kimeta no
Uso ka makoto ka, shinjitsu nante dare nimo wakaranai darou ga

Acchi mo kocchimo minna waratteirunda
Mui wo nasuka no idobata to ushiro yubi

Shuugyou no beru (bell) ga narihibiku
Nanimo kawaranai mama boku ga owatteiku
Kensouzattou ni magireteru taga no hazureta kagehoushi

Saa goshippu (gossip) ni hana wo sakasemashou
Aru koto nai koto wo katari akasou yo
Shunkashuutou wo utsushidasu
Owaranai sharin no heikairou

ENGLISH TRANSLATION:

“I like you”, Someone recites these ridiculous words
Even though you don’t have the slightest interest in people, why do say that?
The person on the right sneers, as the strap I cling onto shrieks
“Click, clack”, the wheel starts its loop

The shaking me is crying
But even still, over here, and over there, everyone is laughing
Why don’t they understand anything?

The commencement bell echoes
The never-changing day starts today as well
Who exactly is the me lost in this congested tumult?

While saying “You can’t tell anyone about this”, a secret is shared out
Every single one of humanity is a hole brother & pole sister
Who was it that decided that that couldn’t be the case?
Whether a lie or truth, no one understands reality anyways

Over here, and over there, everyone is laughing
With gossip and backbiting as if to build up our idleness

The commencement bell echoes
As nothing continues to change, I am ending myself
The silhouette out of place in this congested hoop of tumult
Now, let’s make the flower of gossip bloom
Let’s stay up all night talking about things that do and don’t exist
The four seasons are reflected here
In the closed circuit of this neverending wheel

Thank you for reading my first song translation!

Touyu’s “Idobata Gossip” has been one of my favorite songs since it came out, and though I had initially planned to finish this immediately after his album release date, due to my lack of time, it ended up being postponed up until today ><;; I really love the complexity of his lyrics and hope that he’ll release more original songs in the future (❁´ω`❁)

Hope you enjoyed my post, and please support Touyu from here on as well!
