depressedanyway, since yesterday i've had the song basically on loop in the car because I'm thoroughly depressed about being deposed as department chair and it's kind of like having KAT-TUN say, well at least we like you, you'll feel better if you keep looking forward. Maybe that's silly, but if it's between KAT-TUN and nobody (irl) then I will take KAT-TUN.
so anyway usually this is the part where i say corrections welcome but I for serious already feel like enough shit, so if you have some sort of differing opinion about what's going on here you can feel free to translate it your own self and not tell me about it so much.
勇気の花
Flower of Courage
もし君が笑うことを忘れたなら
そばに行って隣 ピエロのふりではしゃぐ
希望に満ちた (DON'T LOOK BACK) 朝陽が今 (STEP BY STEP)
闇を破って (KEEP WISHING)
If you forget your smile
We'll be right next to you, putting on a show like a clown
Full of hope (don't look back) there's a sunrise now (step by step)
Tearing the darkness (keep wishing)
独りじゃないよ 仲間がいるよ
立ち上がれ今振り向かずに
You aren't alone, you've got comrades*,
Stand up without looking back
*I don't like doing 'nakama' as 'friends', it always feels like something different/more important to me.
聞こえるかい? WE WILL MAKE YOU SMILE 笑って
少しずつ優しさ集めたら ほら、
勇気の花が咲く
そう、君のため そう、遠くまで 届くように
笑顔(はな)を咲かそう
Can you hear us? We will make you smile and laugh
If you gather up your gentleness a little at a time,
The flower of courage will bloom
Yes, for yourself, yes, so that it reaches you far away
Your smile** will surely bloom
**the kanji for that last line always reads "smile" but they sing it as "flower" each time.
離れてても心一つ同じ明日を夢見る
手を取り合って固くつないで 二度とはぐれないで
楽しいこと (DON'T LOOK BACK) 想像して (STEP BY STEP)
君の笑顔 (KEEP WISHING) 見たいよ
Even if we're apart, we're one heart dreaming the same tomorrow
Holding on tightly to each others' hands, we won't get lost again
Something fun (don't look back) imagine it (step by step)
I want to see your smile (keep wishing)
そのままでいいよ 焦ることないよ
この気持ちで包み込むから
You're fine the way you are, don't be impatient,
embrace these feelings close to you
もう一度 WE WILL MAKE YOU SMILE 笑って
今日までの涙を拭ったら ほら、勇気の花が咲く
そう、君のため そう、遠くまで 届くように そう、どこまでも
One more time, we will make you smile and laugh
If you wipe away your tears until now, the flower of courage will bloo,
Yes, for yourself, yes, so that it reaches you far away, however far away
どこまでも どこまでも
however far away, however far away
今どこ? 何してる? 聴こえるよ
勇気出して
WE'RE WITH YOU
WE LOVE YOU
Right now, where are you? What are you doing? We can hear you
Show your courage
We're with you
We love you
聞こえるかい? WE WILL MAKE YOU SMILE 笑って
少しずつ優しさ集めたら ほら、勇気の花が咲く
そう、君のため そう、遠くまで 届くように 笑顔(はな)を咲かそう
Can you hear us? We will make you smile and laugh
If you gather up your gentleness a little at a time,
The flower of courage will bloom
Yes, for yourself, yes, so that it reaches you far away
Your smile* will surely bloom
And then also I just like this one. I totally had no idea how much of this was English until I looked. KAT-TUN, maybe you could have Jin back just long enough to give you some English pronunciation lessons, yikes.
