[translation] 樹海(jukai) - nüe


jukai – jungle

the sunlight through a gap, gently invites me.

As all of these trees that surround me, my body has roots too
odayakana kono mori no ichibu ni naretara ii na
I would like to be part of this calm forest

I think people are alone when birth and death

fukaku oku e susundeku soro soro koko de nemurou

tabako ni hi wo tsuketanara “” ni fukikaketa
I would blow my "hesitation" if I lit a cigarette¹

soumatou no you ni omoide ga kakemeguru
my memories run over a revolving lantern²

waratteita katta hontou wa ikiteitai yo
I wanted to laugh, truly, I wanted to stay alive!

I wouldn't bear even one more sadness
yowakute zurukute mijimena jibun jishin no sei
my weakness, pettiness, and misery are my own fault

but I knew that this hope would not to be filled
sore demo dareka wo aishite iraretara

kiraina jibun wo yurushite ikirareta kana
maybe I can forgive myself and keep living

Translator notes:

Kids, don't kill yourself.

I got this lyrics on BrenGun Monochrome-heaven’s post. There’s already a translation but I wanted to do my own.

¹ on the BrenGun’s post, this part has empty quotes (as I did on the romaji), by hearing the song I'm 82% sure that he sings 躊躇い(tamerai) that means "hesitation".

² 走馬灯(soumatou) are those lampshades, usually for children, that have images and revolve (making drawings in the shadows).
It is a word attributed to the "light" that we see at the time of death, as it is a lamp that shows images in the shadows, it is like the "movie" that they say we see at the time we die.
