Translating Songs: Sparkle from Kimi no Na Wa

まだこの世界は　僕を飼いならしてたいみたいだ
望み通りいいだろう　美しくもがくよ
互いの砂時計　眺めながらキスをしようよ
「さよなら」から一番　遠い　場所で待ち合わせよう

辞書にある言葉で　出来上がった世界を憎んだ
万華鏡の中で　八月のある朝

君は僕の前で　ハニかんでは澄ましてみせた
この世界の教科書のような笑顔で

ついに時はきた　昨日までは序章の序章で
飛ばし読みでいいから　ここからが僕だよ
経験と知識と　カビの生えかかった勇気を持って
いまだかつてないスピードで　君のもとへダイブを

まどろみの中で　生温いコーラに
ここでないどこかを　夢見たよ
教室の窓の外に
電車に揺られ　運ばれる朝に

愛し方さえも　君の匂いがした
歩き方さえも　その笑い声がした

いつか消えてなくなる　君のすべてを
この眼に焼き付けておくことは
もう権利なんかじゃない　義務だと思うんだ

運命だとか未来とかって　言葉がどれだけ手を
伸ばそうと届かない　場所で僕ら恋をする
時計の針も二人を　横目に見ながら進む
そんな世界を二人で　一生　いや、何章でも

生き抜いていこう

The clock hands also mark the two of us

That world of ours

"Iya, no matter what."

ikinuite ikou

It seems this world still wants to keep me tied to you.
But that's just what I want - I strive beautifully.
Staring at our hourglasses, let's share a kiss.
We will set up a meeting at the most distant place from our eventual, Goodbye.

I grew up hating this world made of words found in a dictionary.
One August morning, trapped inside this kaleidoscope.
Whenever we were face to face, you always gave a shy smile before playing modestly.

His smile was like a description of a textbook from this world.

The time has finally come – Yesterday felt like nothing more than prologue to prologue.
You can lightly pass through if you wish, from here is my story:
Wielding experience, wisdom and a slightly molded courage,
At a speed unknown until now, I dived to where you were.

During the nap, I dreamed that I saw a different place from here.
Inside my warm glue ...
Outside the classroom windows ...
In the mornings they were swayed from side to side on the train…

Just as I smelled it ...
Just as I carried the sound of your laughter ...
Facing the fact that you will eventually disappear,
I have no choice but to burn your very existence into my memory, with these two eyes;
I no longer understood it well… I feel it is my duty!
We love each other no matter the place, no matter how far we get.
Words like destiny and future are completely within reach.
We go on like the hands of a clock that sideways our eyes;
Making our way through this kind of world, we will spend our entire lives but not as many chapters.
Let's live more and more, together!
