Uyuni no koibito – Uyuni’s lover

CDJapan

nee soko wo hanarenai de

I don't want to leave you

hagureru kara soko wo ugokanai de ite

Don't want to be far from you

rokuji choudo ni mukae ni iku yo

I'll go out to meet you just at 6

ano eiga no youni

as that movie

kokoro to yume no awai ni suberikomi

The light of my heart and dreams is fading

ima futari wa chiisai na karada wo nugi sutete

now, we both started to undress our small bodies

umi ni mi wo nageta umare kawaru no dato

as if we would throw ourselves in the sea, to be reborn

namae wo sakebi yobiau bamen

the scene was from us to shouting the names of each other

nee sore wa kokoro janai’nda yo

So, this is not my feeling

tada no yakuwari nanda yo

is not my normal behavior

sore wa boku ga shita koto janai

This is not something I generally do and

sareta koto de mo nai

I could not do this usually¹

mizu no naka de me wo aketa toki ni mieru

Looks like I opened my eyes into the water

ano hikari no tsubu to awa no GURADESHON ga

That bubble of light gradually filled me

boku wo mitashitara SANATORIUMU wo deyou

As if I could go out a sanatorium

koko jaa iki ga tsumaru dake

and I felt like my breath stopped

bokura wa

we...

kakujitsu na danzetsu ga yaburarete bouheki wa juukai ni shitataru

the assurance of an ending breaks my protective wall and sounds like the annoying sound

hidoi oto

of the trees falling in the forest

mou tomete

Stop it

urusainaa

shut up

kokoro nara kakushite kitanda yo

and, if possible, hide your heart²

itsumo yori sukoshi hayaku me ga sameta asa ni

More than ever my eyes opened even faster in this morning

tsumi wo manukareru koto ga dekinakute mo

And even if I can't runaway through the door

mukae ni iku kara

cause of the meeting

hiroi sekai ga mitai

I want to see this vast world

kimi wo tsureteikou

and I want to take you with me

nani mo osoreru mono wa nai no sa

As if nothing could scare us

kimi wo aishite iru dake

because I only love you.

@Irie_’s notes:

1. In this part he is explaining that the things he is feeling are not part of his daily life, are not “normal” to him but I didn't know how to adapt it because he uses a lot synonymous with "normal".

2. This piece is very Japanese and I don't know how to translate or explain it properly. It's not like the protagonist is mad, truly, is the opposite. He feels that he is so in love that if the person keeps filling him with light, he can explode and fall apart.
