violetchain 912 Posted March 20, 2017 (edited) I was kind of curious about this song. T/ssue aren't shy about mentioning the fact that they're from Nagoya, so I thought it was funny that they were writing about Tokyo. The English translation I did is kind of sketchy. I'm fairly certain that at least the line in red is very wrong. If anyone has a correction for that, or any of the other lines, it would be greatly appreciated. 東京city / Tokyo city Music and Lyrics: Sone Ichirou You started to lose your way on the path, So you started to become too cautious, And things aren't going well, are they? You’re listening to the sound of cars, Being poisoned by exhaust fumes, But every day, you’re giving your all Shining brighter than the stars up in the sky in a corner of this city In Tokyo, On the Tokyo Expressway, If it feels like the city lights are blocking your view, Don’t say a word I’ll light up your days Because you can hold on tight to this song I can see the ruins of the star I looked up at when I was a child The sky from that time has disappeared, hasn’t it? One by one, we’re each going to settle on our way of life You will too You will too Even though it’s cruel, time passes by, That crowd of people will be left behind I don't think there's any sort of deadline when you need to throw your dreams away* In Tokyo, On the Tokyo Expressway, If it feels like the city lights are blocking your view, Don’t say a word I’ll light up your days Because you can hold on tight to this song In Tokyo, On the Tokyo Expressway, This burning emotion will light up your tomorrow So don’t say a word I’ll be supporting you from the bottom of my heart While you’re in Tokyo City** Notes: *I’m fairly certain that this is wrong **It just says “Tokyo City”, but I assume this is what is being implied? 東京city / Toukyou CITY Mayotte kita michi dakara Shinchou ni nari-sugite, Nakanaka umaku ikanai na Kuruma no oto, HaiGASU chuudoku, Zenryoku no mainichi wa Sora ni aru hoshi yori kagayaku toshi no katasumi de Toukyou, Shuto-kou, Machi no akari ga Anata no shikai o saegiru you nara Nanimo iwanaide Hibi terasu Kono uta ga yorisotte yuku kara Osanaikoro ni mita hoshi no zangai Ano koro no sora wa kiete shimatta no Tsugitsugi to ikiru michi wa kimaru yo Kimi mo Kimi mo Mujou ni mo toki wa sugite Torinokosarete yuku hitobito no mure Sono yume o suteru kigen na do doko ni mo nai darou Toukyou, Shuto-kou, Machi no akari ga Anata no shikai o saegiru you nara Nanimo iwanaide Hibi terasu Kono uta ga yorisotte yuku kara Toukyou, Shuto-kou, Tomoru omoi ga Anata no ashita o terashite iku kara Nanimo iwanaide Kokoro kara Senaka osu yo Toukyou CITY Kanji: ^A fan wrote the lyrics out in the comments of the Youtube video Edited March 21, 2017 by violetchain Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
