Opening English Lyrics Translation


ENGLISH


Opening

Excuse me, just now
I think I heard the sound of tears falling around here
And rushed over. I wonder whose tears they were?
Come to think of it, your eyes are quite red

Um, yeah
Oh, I know!
I'll give you some stories
As a present
Be sure to read them, OK?
Well then, see you later

JAPANESE


Opening

お訪ねしますこの辺りでついさっき
涙の落ちる音が聴こえた気がして
駆けつけたんだけど誰の涙かな
そういや君はずいぶん赤い眼をしてるね

ええと、うん
そうだ
いくつかの物語を
プレゼントしてあげる
ちゃんと読んでおく事いいね
それじゃまた後で

OPINION

The song Opening appeared in 2000 on BUMP's second album. It's a sort of raw, live-sounding portion from the beginning of the full version of the song Present which didn't appear until eight years later. I wonder how many songs Fujiwara is writing and any given moment, and how long they take to reach their final versions?
