My Best Friends / マイベストフレンズ English Lyrics Translation


ENGLISH


My Best Friends

You're going to leave on yesterday's today
Then it will become a tomorrow in which I chase after you
The ship departs, it floats on the waves
Where do you go?
In my dreams
Our hearts are two, yours and mine
Our hearts are two
My friend
In the sky
La la la laa la la la
My best friends
I read the seasons by the way my bones creak
I was carried along
If a postcard arrives at my house today too
I'll admire the flowers as I always do
It's not like that
In my dreams
Our hearts are two, yours and mine
Our hearts are two
La la la laa la la la
My friend
In the sky
La la la laa la la la
My best friends
If a letter comes
My heart will dance, and I'll be in high spirits
But it will change to despair when I learn of your death
Then I will be alone, and so I
Will chase after you
In my dreams
Our hearts are two, yours and mine
Our hearts are two
La la la laa la la la
My friend
In the sky
La la la laa la la la
My best friends
In my dreams
Our hearts are two, yours and mine
Our hearts are two
La la la laa la la la
I, too, am
In the sky
La la la laa la la la
My best friends

JAPANESE


マイベストフレンズ

昨日の今日で君よ去るのか
それなら僕も君を追うのか明日になれば
船よ出るのか波間に浮かんだ
君よどこへ・・・・・
夢の中には
ハートが2つあなたとわたしの
ハートが2つ
ララララーラララ
友よ
In sky
ララララーラララ
MY BEST FRIENDS
骨の軋みで
季節を知るのか運びつかれた
はがきが今日も家に帰れば
花を愛でるかいつもの私は
こんなじゃないのだ
夢の中には
ハートが2つあなたとわたしの
ハートが2つ
ララララーラララ
友よ
In sky
ララララーラララ
MY BEST FRIENDS
手紙が届けば
むねもおどるかはやる気持ちが
失意に変わるか君の死を知り
そして1人かそれなら僕も
君を追うのか
夢の中には
ハートが2つあなたとわたしの
ハートが2つ
ララララーラララ
友よ
In sky
ララララーラララ
MY BEST FRIENDS
夢の中には
ハートが2つあなたとわたしの
ハートが2つ
ララララーラララ
僕も
In sky
ララララーラララ
MY BEST FRIENDS

OPINION

So this song is a hidden track (one of several) from BUMP's first album, Flame Vein. I got the lyrics from http://detail.chiebukuro.yahoo.co.jp/qa/question_detail/q118997766. The contents are rather serious, but the way the members sing it is fun and silly. :P Masu's voice is very strong in this one!! I'm also unsure why it's "my best friends" when the speaker in the song only mentions two hearts that belong to him and the person he is addressing. I'm guessing it's just a little English misunderstanding, and it should be "My Best Friend" or "Best Friend."Anyway, enjoy the lyrics!!

Also the wonderful Datenshi Kuriko uploaded the link to the song here: http://gimmeseasalticecream-07.tumblr.com/post/48927513984/lss-mode-xd. Thanks so much!!
