the pillows- bran-new lovesong

from runners high

translation by terra [ ] (c) 2005

Ai no kioku ga shibondekara
Me wo aketa mama zutto nemutteta
Omotta yori sore wa juushou datta

Hanbun ni chigirete oki-agatte
Hikari no sasu hou he mukaeba
Maboroshi janai kimi ga tatteta

Oshiete yo, doko ni ita no
Doushite boku wo shitteru no
Natsukashii namida ga dete
Kodoku no owari ni hibiki-wataru
Bran-new lovesong
Sore wa kimi he no uta nan da

Moteamashiteta yume wo zenbu
Atokata mo naku sotto hagashita
Ima wa nani mo nai tada kimi to futari

Kirai datta jibun no koto
Itsunomanika yurushiteta
Hashiridashita kono omoi wa
Tayasuku kowaretari nanka shinai
Bran-new lovesong
Kimi ga subete wo kuretan da

Oshiete yo, doko ni ita no
Doushite boku wo shitteru no
Natsukashii namida ga dete
Kodoku no owari ni hibiki-wataru
Bran-new lovesong
Sore wa kimi he no uta nan da
After the memory of love faded
I slept so long with my eyes open
It’s afflicted me far more than I thought

I’m ripped in half as I stand
When I turn to face the piercing light
It’s no illusion, it’s you standing there

Tell me, where did you come from
Why do you know me
Tears of melancholy fall
Resounding through the end of my loneliness
Bran-new lovesong
That is my song for you

I gently stripped away the overwhelming dream
Til not a trace was left
Now there’s nothing, just the two of us

I used to hate myself
But before I knew it, I gave in
This heart began to race
It’s not so easily softened
Bran-new lovesong
You gave me everything

Tell me, where did you come from
Why do you know me
Tears of melancholy fall
Resounding through the end of my loneliness
Bran-new lovesong
That is my song for you
