コロンブス (Colombus) English Translation Lyrics by Mrs. GREEN APPLE
Until the Day I Fall Asleep
500 million years ago,
I took a little detour on a whim,
Even then, I couldn’t tell you.
The great inventions,
The discovered cells,
The creation flowing
In the ocean waves.
Like the day when I will fall asleep,
An uncertain but definite goal,
An unexpectedly pleasant everyday life,
Pouring into my thirsty heart,
Zooming in on a little miracle.
It doesn’t mean anything,
But still, still, still, I haven’t noticed yet,
I want to drink up love today too.
Tu-ru-ru-tu
Tu-ru-ru-tu
Tu-ru-ru-tu
Tu-tu-tu, tu-ru-ru-tu
Tu-ru-ru-tu
Tu-ru-ru-tu
Tu-ru-ru-tu
Tu-tu-tu, tu-ru
“I’m sorry,”
It’s the hardest thing to say,
On my way to growing up,
I couldn’t say it.
The evolution of civilization,
The historic comebacks,
The exhilaration of Columbus,
Heard from the depths of the earth.
Like the loneliness you’ll overcome someday,
The equal morning sun and night sky,
An everyday life that makes your stomach ache,
Straightening my thirsty heart,
Zooming in on a little bit of aesthetics.
It means everything,
But still, still, still, I end up hurting,
Learning from sorrow today too.
The differences with you,
Are a curse to be myself,
Though I remain dejected,
I can’t truly hate
Such a self.
Ah, the honorable wounds to be loved,
Celebrate grandly the subtle things
That seem so important.
Continuing somewhere,
An uncertain but definite goal,
An unexpectedly quick everyday life,
Pouring into my thirsty heart,
Zooming in on a little bit of play.
We’ll connect with each other,
Until, until, until we drop,
I want to drink up today with you too.
Tu-ru-ru-tu
Tu-ru-ru-tu (Woah)
Tu-ru-ru-tu
Tu-tu-tu, tu-ru-ru
“I want to know you,”
Like it’s an adventure,
Touching gently on a kind solitude,
That no one else could know.
“I want to know you,”
Like the aurora,
Reaching a wonderful scenery,
That no one has yet known.
Look, the boat moves forward again,
Repeating meetings and farewells.
To give meaning to these teary eyes,
First, we search for a treasure chest.
