Lily English Lyrics Translation

ENGLISH

Lily

Beneath the spotlight

Screaming out my song

Unable to convey my thoughts

I always complain

"It's bad!" and get confused

I hide away

In a locked room at night

If I empty out my pockets

What do I see?

Can you guess

Just how many complaints there are

For a single day?

Even so, you laughed

Laughed, and looked happy

Suddenly I got angry

"Listen to me seriously!" I yelled

But still you laughed

"You're cute," you said

Even if I scream

Even if I sing

I don't think those words

Will let me win

On a low stage

Desperately trying to look good

I and everyone else excel at deception

I dream

And show them a dream

I sung a song called

"Spit Out Your Boasting"

That song

Keeps beating on the door

Of the locked room in my heart

Unattractively

It threatens my song, saying

"Come out, you liar!"

Even so, you laughed

"You're cool," you said

Even though I always complain I'm not

You looked me in the eye

And said that to me

"Because that, and everything else

Is why you're cute," you said

Although I lie

And pretend

Those words

Could see through everything

I gathered up one pocket's worth of complaints

And released them to you

I realeased

The lies behind my bluffing

I threw them all out

A voice announces the last train

People rush in confusion

I hold your left hand in my right

We have to let go…

When I passed through the ticket barrier

Some words suddenly flashed in my mind

"Someone you only meet once in a lifetime"

But I say nothing

And decide to go

At the last moment I look back

There's something I want to confirm

And yes, you were laughing

Right at our parting moment

It caused me to smile too

Assuring me that we would meet again

So I'm going to sing again

Scream and sing again

And this time I'm going to use words

That I've never used before

Beneath the spotlight

On a low stage

I will add one more word

To the things I didn't say

At the ticket barrier that time

Call it

"The Once-in-a-Lifetime Lover"

Because this song

Came knocking at the door of my heart

And fills me with pride

JAPANESE

リリィ

スポットライトの下

自分を叫び唄った

思う様に伝わらなくて

その度にこぼれる弱音を

「今はマズい!」と慌てて

その場は巧く隠して

真夜中鍵かけた部屋

膨れたポケット裏返すと

ホラ

出てくる弱音の数

1日分

想像つくかい?

ところが君は笑った

幸せそうに笑った

当然僕は怒った

「真面目に聞けよ!」って怒鳴り散らした

それでも君は笑った

「かわいいヒトね」と言った

叫んでも

唄っても

その一言には

勝てる気がしない

低いステージの上

必死で格好つけた

自分もヒトも上手に騙し

夢を見て

夢を見せた

「大言壮語も吐いてやろう」

そういう歌も唄った

心の中鍵かけた部屋

その歌が

ドアを叩き続ける

「出てこいウソツキめ!」と

自分の歌に格好悪く

脅されるんだ

ところが君は笑った

「格好いいよ」と言った

これだけ僕が愚痴っても

僕の目を見て

そんな言葉をくれた

「そういうトコロも全部

かわいいヒトね」と言った

ツクっても

気取っても

その一言には

全て見られていた

ポケット一杯の弱音を

集めて君に放った

強がりの裏のウソを

放った

ぶちまけた

終電を告げる放送

慌てて駆けて行く人

右手に君の左手

もう離さなきゃ…

改札を抜ける時

「最初で最後のヒト」

そんな言葉が浮かんだ

言わないで

行くとしよう

最後に振り返ろう

確かめたいコトがあるんだ

やっぱり君は笑った

別れの傍で笑った

つられて僕も笑った

「また会えるから」って確かめるように

やっぱり僕は唄うよ

もう一度叫び唄うよ

今まで一度も使うことのなかった　言葉を混ぜて

スポットライトの下

低いステージの上

改札で言わなかった

あの言葉に

もう一つ言葉を混ぜて

こう呼ばせてくれないか

「最初で最後の恋人」

この歌が

部屋のドアを叩きに来たって

胸を張れるから

OPINION

This song is from the year 2000 so it's in BUMP's rougher, earlier style. It's one of my favorites of their early songs… The band members were only around 21 at the time! I still don't know why it's called Lily… Possibly that's the name of the laughing friend?
