Mmm, this song seems straightforward at first, but I'm not really sure I got it. It's definitely not an overly direct translation, so there is that at least (well, maybe in some spots it's a little too faithful...). But yeah, there are definitely some parts I am not sure on. See what you think.
Music - Sakanaction
Passing by, passing by
Do birds get nostalgic for far off rocks?
They flew high across the sky
No one knows
Looking down over a village no one knows, what do birds think?
Lonely like me, I wonder?
Separated
Does a bird miss its friends from the flock?
It called in a high-pitched voice
A secret town
listened quietly to that.
Weak like me, I wonder?
Pain and hurt and lies, we're used to them, and our words
bob down the river's tired surface
in the town where you live
It's gone
It's gone
(The river flows)
It's gone
(I haven't been able to see it yet, I haven't been able to see it yet)
It's gone
It's gone
(The river flows)
It's gone
(I can't see it yet, I can't see it yet)
I want to sleep with wet hair
The clothes we stripped off and tossed
still as they were yesterday
A secret room
where the wall, you were leaning against it
as if watching me in my weakness
Pain and hurt and lies, I'm used to them, and I talk to myself
Tired nights and winds that blow
To your cheeks
Felt it
Felt it
(The night flows)
Felt it
(I'm not crying, I'm not crying)
Felt it
Felt it
(The night flows)
You
(Were crying, were crying, so)
The season we reflected on begins
Hating not being able to remember
Even the birds passing by
I bet they were crying in town
I bet they were crying
Waiting for a season that has already passed
Hating not being able to remember
Being separated and taking off
I bet the birds were crying too
I bet they were crying
We'll wait, no matter how long
Even tired pain and hurt
Even nights left as they are
continue singing
continue
We'll wait, no matter how long
We can't see it yet but we're just waiting
Even I, frail and weak
continue to sing
continue
