Title: 自分ノート
Romaji: Jibun Note
Translation: Note to myself
Composition: Comp
Lyrics: Comp [misattributed as Ranko’s on Hanafuda’s booklet]
Vocals: Ranko
Album:
- Hanafuda (track 7)
Sample:
Ranko: A chuuni song. When I got the lyrics and the rhythm, I immediately was able to figure out how my voice would fit into it, strangely.
The piano in the second verse is cool. I mean, the whole song is cool too.
The “utsumuite” (looking down) in the last part was originally “shita muite” (completely face-to-ground).
After I finished recording, the lyrics got changed only there, so I had this rare instance of re-recording a song.
Lyrics
前向いて前向いて前向いてばかりいられない
前向いて前向いて前向いてばかりいられないよ
ムカついてムカついてムカついてばかりいられない
ムカついてムカついてムカついてばかりいられないよ
mae muite mae muite mae muite bakari irarenai
mae muite mae muite mae muite bakari irarenai yo
mukatsuite mukatsuite mukatsuite bakari irarenai
mukatsuite mukatsuite mukatsuite bakari irarenai yo
人間やめたら その次何かな？
奇麗な蝶々で蜜舐めるか？
ningen yametara sono tsugi nanika na?
kirei na chouchou de mitsu nameru ka?
愛し愛されること知らぬまま
とりあえずノートに書きなぐった
サヨナラ サヨナラ…ナラ
aishiaisareru koto shiranu mama
toriaezu nooto ni kakinagutta
sayonara sayonara… nara
鍵かけて鍵かけて鍵かけてばかりいられない
鍵かけて鍵かけて鍵かけてばかりいられないよ
kagi kakete kagi kakete kagi kakete bakari irarenai
kagi kakete kagi kakete kagi kakete bakari irarenai yo
ヘラヘラしているお外のみんなも
アレやコレ考えてるのかな？
herahera shite iru osoto no minna mo
are ya kore kangaeteru no ka na?
このままダラダラダラ続くなら
居直る勇気を一つ下さい
今を消したいから…から
kono mama daradaradara tsudzuku nara
inaoru yuuki wo hitotsu kudasai
ima wo keshitai kara… kara
自分を好きになれはしないから
誰かを愛する力ください
無理な相談かな…かな？
jibun wo suki ni nare wa shinai kara
dareka wo aisuru chikara kudasai
muri na soudan ka na… ka na?
俯いて俯いて俯いてばかりいられない
俯いて俯いて俯いてばかりいられないの
utsumuite utsumuite utsumuite bakari irarenai
utsumuite utsumuite utsumuite bakari irarenai no
Translation
Looking ahead, looking ahead, looking ahead, I can’t keep doing
Looking ahead, looking ahead, looking ahead, I can’t keep doing it
Pissed off, pissed off, pissed off, I can’t keep doing
Pissed off, pissed off, pissed off, I can’t keep doing it
If I quit being human, what’s next?
Do you want to taste honey off a beautiful butterfly?
I don’t know how to love and be loved
I’ll just write it down in my note
Farewell, farewell… well
Locking the door, locking the door, locking the door, I can’t keep doing
Locking the door, locking the door, locking the door, I can’t keep doing it
is everyone out there thoughtlessly
Thinking about this and that?
If this keeps going on and on and on
I just want a piece the courage to take the offensive
Because I want to erase the present… Yes
I can’t come to like myself
Please give me the strength to love someone else.
Is this too much to ask… is it?
Looking down, looking down, looking down, I can’t keep doing
Looking down, looking down, looking down, I can’t keep doing it
