|---|---|
| なんでこんなに何もない砂漠にただ一人 ひざをついて座り込んで 途方に暮れる 乾いた空気を強く胸に吸い込んでみたら 同じ世界に逃げ込んでたあなたを知って | Why am I alone in such an empty desert I fall down onto my knees, perplexed When I tried to fill my lungs with the dry air I came to know the you that escaped into the same world |
| 出会った時から悲しい未来が予感できた あなたは違う女¹の影 背負ってるの見えた どうにもこうにも寂しさ辛さ重くて 痛いほど解りあえた だから寄り添って | From the moment I met you, I felt a presentiment of a sad future I saw you carrying the shadow of someone else¹ on your back No matter what, the loneliness and the pain are so heavy we understood each other so much it hurt, that's why we grew close |
| そう二人 運命に手繰り寄せられ密になる あなたは口癖のように言う 「人は孤独を抱いて生きてる」と | Yes, the two of us got reeled in by fate, becoming close and intimate As if it's a habit, you say "People live embracing loneliness" |
| あなたの事をもっともっとよく知りたい もっと愛していけるどこまで たとえ今は許されなくてもいいよ 私をとめないで | I want to know you more and more to the point that I can love you more Even if you're not okay with that right now don't stop me |
| これまでの生き方と未来とがすり合わず 次の一歩踏み出せなくて 途方に暮れる 両足砂にとられ 抱き合ったまま動けない 空を見上げると月は熱いテルミドール | Unable to reconcile the way we've lived so far with the future I can't take the next step, perplexed With our feet stuck in the sand, we can't move and remain holding each other Looking up to the sky, the moon is a scorching thermidor² |
| そう二人 運命にひきづられ離れられない あなたは口癖のように言う 「時に迷うキャメルの姿だ」と | Yes, the two of us are dragged by fate, unable to part As if it's a habit, you say "We're like camels lost in time" |
| 私のことをもっともっとよく知って もっと愛して見つめて欲しい たとえ蜃気楼の果て流されても 私を探さないで | I want you to know me more and more to love and look at me more Even if I am swept away to the end of the mirage don't look for me |
| そう二人 運命に手繰り寄せられ密になる あなたは口癖のように言う 「人は孤独を抱いて生きてる」と | Yes, the two of us got reeled in by fate, becoming close and intimate As if it's a habit, you say "People live embracing loneliness" |
| あなたの事をもっともっとよく知りたい もっと愛していけるどこまで たとえ今は許されなくてもいいよ テルミドールの夜 | I want to know you more and more to the point that I can love you more Even if you're not okay with that right now the night of thermidor³ |
| 私のことをもっともっとよく知って もっと愛して見つめて欲しい たとえ蜃気楼の果て流されても 私を探さないで | I want you to know me more and more to love and look at me more Even if I am swept away to the end of the mirage don't look for me |
Translation notes:
- While the kanji here is 違う女 (another woman), Nana actually sings 違う人 (another person), hence I translated it as the neutral "someone else" rather than sticking to "woman" here.
- This is just my assumption, but figured I'd try to explain what thermidor might mean in the context of the lyrics. I reckon this first mention of it refers to the following meaning: "Thermidor, the name given during the French Revolution to the eleventh month of the year in the republican calendar. The month fell in the hottest season of the year, beginning on July 19 or 20 and ending on August 18 or 19, according to the year."
- And I assume this second mention of thermidor refers to "the phase in some revolutions when the political pendulum swings back towards something resembling a pre-revolutionary state, and power slips from the hands of the original revolutionary leadership" as currently the relationship between the two does not seem to be making any progress.
