[translation] Lament - DIMLIM


Usually I do the posts with romaji + translation here on the blog but in this song the band sings totally different from what is written on the booklet, apparently there is a translation into Japanese of what is sung in English, so in this post there will only be the translation of the song according to the booklet, I will not try to post lyrics of what is sung in English because unfortunately I don't speak Dimlim'nese.

My translation will probably look different from what they sing in ENG but I struggled to keep the meaning as much as possible.

Lament

Spotify



Is like we still have a wall between us
I don't feel like we are laughing together, from the bottom of our hearts
It's the same feeling as watching a sad movie
and this movie has always a bad end

A lament
this is a lament

(this "still" being a sad story)

I don't know when the heck this story will end
but, in the end, I want to die laughing
no one knows the future
the only thing I know is "we still need time"

Why is my heart confused like this?
There's always a light rain
Why is this smile artificial like this?
Looks like we still need time
Did my heart become cloudy 'cause I believed in you?
'cause I wanted for this?
however I know is not like that
But still look like we need time

A lament
This is a lament

(this "still" being a sad story)

Why is my heart confused like this?
There's always a light rain
Why is this smile artificial like this?
Looks like we still need time
Did my heart become cloudy 'cause I believed in you?
'cause I wanted for this?
however I know is not like that
But still look like we need time

How much will I have to gouge this wall to reach your heart?
A person who stopped thinking is the same as a dead one
This wall will disappear as the time goes by
This is not such a shallow thing, you all can understand that?

A lament
This is a lament
