from Pondering Pootan with Ajishio Taro & Hachimitsu Boy
(Note: Connor's mic decided to do a firmware update mid recording or something and we lost like the first 10 minutes of his audio, but in the spirit of the timer we have just let it run...) And the second of today's loooooong-awaited requests is my first translation of the rather legendary Mr. Children... Sign! Requester, dear, I hope they were worth the wait m(_ _)m Enjoy! Mr. Children - Sign I hope it reaches you I'm playing this song now in a place you don't know Feelings like new buds that withered before they could grow [1] I play two together in harmony We said "I think I remember that film" so many times I pile on my longing for you like blocks of malice When I thought of the ordinary times as something precious I called it "one thing we've got" and laughed a little Your body language is a sign directed at me I'll never overlook a single one again That's what I'm thinking about Sometimes we'd insult each other with careless words We'd get sick of each other's immaturity But someday we'll strip it all away and feel the sweet warmth As we show each other our gentle sides We're similar but somehow different... but with the same taste in films I love you with neither body nor heart If even the faintest light can illuminate our hearts We have to treasure it - that's what we promised The signs sent to me from everyone I've met I'll never miss a single one again That's how I'll live from now on The sunlight through the trees lining the path wavers as it touches you And I realize the beauty and cruelty of time Since there's still time left for us We have to treasure it - so we said with a little laugh Your body language is a sign that makes me stronger I'll look right through you a single time again That's how I'll live from now on That's what I'm thinking about [1] Just a neat side note - the word "onpu" (music notes) is written in the lyrics, but "omoi" (thoughts/feelings) is sung. Interchangeable concepts in this case. ^^ Disclaimer: This song belongs to Mr. Children and Toy's Factory, not me.
