Lyrics and translation Noriyuki Makihara - Cicada




Cicada
Cicada
まっくらな土の中
In the pitch black soil below,
何年も過ごしながら
Spending many years through,
まだ見ぬ太陽の光を
Cicadas believe in the unseen light of the sun,
蝉たちは信じてる
That they'll see someday soon.
辛さから逃げることで
Running away from the pain,
自分を騙しながら
Lying to ourselves, that
生きることが幸せなら
If living is happiness, then
僕らはいないはずだと
We shouldn't exist at all.
伝えたい事があるから
Because I have something I want to tell you,
君の住む町にきたよ
I have come to the town where you live.
忘れないでほしいから
Because I don't want you to forget me,
うるさく鳴いてみせるよ
I'll sing to you very loudly.
打ちつける夕立の
When the downpour ends,
拍手が鳴りやむころ
And the applause dies down,
我先にと羽根をこすり
We'll rub our wings together,
蝉たちはうたう
And the cicadas will sing.
伝えたい事があるから
Because I have something I want to tell you,
君の住む町にきたよ
I have come to the town where you live.
忘れないでほしいから
Because I don't want you to forget me,
うるさく鳴いてみせるよ
I'll sing to you very loudly.
打ちつける夕立の
When the downpour ends,
拍手が鳴りやむころ
And the applause dies down,
我先にと羽根をこする
We'll rub our wings together
蝉たちのように
Like the cicadas,
僕はうたう
I'll sing to you tonight.
