Hybrid Rainbow / ハイブリッドレインボー English Lyrics Translation


ENGLISH


Hybrid Rainbow

A mostly sunken and ubinhabited island
It can't be found on a map
It has no name
Yesterday the ship of hope
Passed close by
But it didn't come to find us

I was fascinated by the sun
And I
Got burned a little
I held up a prism
And waved my hand

Can you feel?
Can you feel that hybrid rainbow?
Although we didn't choose our days
Until yesterday
We're waitng for tomorrow

Our airship
Is mostly in ruins
It floats just above the ground
I wonder if we can make it?
Must we ask the strangely colored birds forgiveness?

Can you feel?
Can you feel that hybrid rainbow?
I'm sure
That we have
No limits
Not like this

Can you feel?
Can you feel that hybrid rainbow?
I want to believe that we're just stopping for a moment

I can feel
I can feel that hybrid rainbow
Although we didn't choose our days
Until yesterday
We still have tomorrow

JAPANESE


ハイブリッドレインボウ

ほとんど沈んでるみたいな無人島
地球儀にのってない
名前もない
昨日は近くまで
希望の船が来たけど
僕らを迎えに来たんじゃない

太陽に見惚れて
少し
こげた
プリズムをはさんで
手を振ったけど

Can you feel?
Can you feel that hybrid rainbow?
昨日まで
選ばれなかった僕らでも
明日を待ってる

ほとんど
しぼんでる僕らの飛行船
地面をスレスレに浮かんでる
呼び方もとまどう色の姿
鳥達に容赦なくつつかれるだろう

Can you feel?
Can you feel that hybrid rainbow?
きっと
まだ限界なんて
こんなもんじゃない
こんなんじゃない

Can you feel?
Can you feel that hybrid rainbow?
ここは途中なんだって信じたい

I can feel
I can feel that hybrid rainbow
昨日まで
選ばれなかった僕らでも
明日を持ってる

OPINION

This song is a cover of The Pillows, also a great band. I think Fujiwara brings new emotions and a lot more softness to this song though… Definitely one of my favorites.
