クムリウタ - Lullaby -

Japanese:
立ち止まって全てを無にした
目を逸らして逃げてた事を
恥らって向かいあう事が出来たら
奇跡を信じた

蝉は鳴く響くように
歌うように死んでいくかな
私も明日消えるならもっとちゃんといれるのかな

ここに立っている事さえ時々意識を
失いそうになる

曇り空泣くな
まだここは通過点で
曇り空泣くな
心は本当は強い

フワフワ流れるように
何となく過ごせるけれど
本当は虚しい事にはずっと前から気づいてた
傷を持ってもう一度って強く誓え

自分を見捨てるな

曇り空泣くな
せめて心を信じて
曇り空泣くな
待ってる人はいる

深海の中をくるり泳いで
聞こえる水の声

思い出すあの雨の日も
こんな暗くて
二つある扉

曇り空泣くな
まだここは通過点で
曇り空泣くな
心は本当は強い (2x)

立ち止まって全てを無にした
目を逸らして逃げてた事を
恥らって向かいあう事が出来たら
奇跡を信じた




Romaji:
tachidomatte subete wo munishita
me wo sorashite nigeteta koto wo
hajiratte mukaiau koto ga dekitara
kiseki wo shinjita

semi wa naku hibiku youni
utau youni shinde iku kana
watashi mo ashita kieru nara motto chanto ireru no kana
kokoni tatte iru koto sae tokidoki ishiki wo
ushinai sou ni naru

kumorisora nakuna
mada koko wa tsuukaten de
kumorisora nakuna
kokoro wa hontou wa tsuyoi

fuwafuwa nagareru youni
nantonaku sugoseru keredo
hontou wa munashii koto ni wa zutto mae kara kizuiteta
kizu wo motte mouichidotte tsuyoku chikae

jibun wo misuteru na

kumorisora nakuna
semete kokoro wo shinjite
kumorisora nakuna
matteru hito wa iru

shinkai no naka wo kururi oyoide
kikoeru mizu no koe
omoidasu ano ame no hi mo
konna kurakute
futatsu aru tobira

kumorisora nakuna
mada koko wa tsuukaten de
kumorisora nakuna
kokoro wa hontouwa tsuyoi (2x)

tachidomatte subete wo munishita
me wo sorashite nigeteta koto wo
hajiratte mukaiau koto ga dekitara
kiseki wo shinjita




Translation:
Stopping, I wasted everything
I averted my eyes, to run away
Being shy, if only we could meet facing different ways
I believed in miracles

The cicada's cry, echoes long
Just like the song, will they die?
Tomorrow, if I disappear too, I wonder if I can live more properly?
Standing here, occasionally
It looks as though I lose conciousness

Cloudy Sky, don't cry
This is still my point of passage and
Cloudy Sky, don't cry
My heart is actually strong

To flow lightly/airily,
Somehow, it passes but
Honestly, I realised this emptiness a long time ago
Holding this wound, one more time, I strongly swear (oath)
I'll abandon myself

Cloudy Sky, don't cry
At least believe in your heart
Cloudy Sky, don't cry
There are people waiting

Swimming around within the deep sea
The audible voice of the water
Remembering, that rainy day
Even though it's this dark
There are two doors

Cloudy Sky, don't cry
This is still my point of passage and
Cloudy Sky, don't cry
My heart is actually strong (2x)

Stopping, I wasted everything
I averted my eyes, to run away
Being shy, if only we could meet facing different ways
I believed in miracles

---------

Any part of the translation in italics are sections that I'm not sure about, so if you could offer another valid (and hopefully better) translation then I'll see to changing it.
Thanks to all those that have contributed and fixed up any of my errors! Yay now at least it should be able to be sung along to. If your not happy with my overall translation, go make your own Tongue

Thank you!

Thats what I initially thought, but if it meant cry, it should've been "nakanai", not "nakunai". Of course I'm not sure if Otsuka Ai is actually doing this on purpose so until I'm 100% sure, I'm going to leave it for now. The title kumuriuta strictly speaking, doesn't mean anything. However, it seems that it's most likely she was playing on "kumori" which of course is what she may have been doing in the chorus.
Anyway, thanks for providing some input on how to make there lyrics better!

Nah, they should be different. If you take the general form of the word cry, it will be "naku" as you said. But if it's the negative verb form, it will become "nakanai". I asked a Japanese person and apparently, the word "nakunai" made absolutely no sense to them. And he was born and raised in Japan, and lived there for 20 years. So yeah, quite mysterious.

I've listened to the song and here my suggestions:

1) in the very first line it's not "monoshita" (ものした) but "mu ni shita" (無にした)
2) I clearly hear "nakuna" (泣くな) (it means don't cry, just like "nakanaide"? but it's another form) instead of "nakanai"
3) in the second line of the chorus I suppose it's not "tsukatene" (つかてね) but something else (though I don't know what exactly - I hear something like "tsukatende", but I don't know what it means)

Smile

Ahh yes, why didn't I see that. Munishita makes far more sense. Because if she said monoshita, it already had a grammatical error in it (which would be extremely stupid) and it wouldn't have meant anything even it it did have the required "ni" in between.
And for the second point, I'm still not 100% sure, it certainly does sound like "nakuna" which would make perfect sense as well. However, I still have a slight conflict do to my Japanese friend saying that he definitely heard "nakunai" and that it didn't mean anything. Of course he only heard the song once and on my laptop speakers so the sound quality may not have been so clear. I'll check this again, but I think what you suggested is correct.
Many thanks Lin Lai Fei!

hey, i just watched when Ai was on heyx3 and sang kumuriuta live and from what i understand and can read japanese *very limited*, i think the last word in the chorus isn't "mata koko wa tsukatene", but "mada koko wa tsuukaten de". and she definitely sings "nakuna". she also sings "shinjita" and not "shinjitai".
also not "jibun no misuteru na" but "jibun wo misuteru na".
"fuwafuwa nagare you ni" is "fuwafuwa nagareru you ni".

hope that helps Smile

I think it should be
1. 蝉は鳴く rather than 蝉は長く
2. まだここは通過点(つうかてん)で not またここはつかてね

Anyway, thank you for translating the lyric. This is perhaps the most emotional ballad Ai-chan has ever wrote.

@Rei: Hmm that seems quite true...Another has now pointed out the same thing. I'll check on it just to be 100% sure!
Also, I made the same mistake earlier, because of the way Otsuka Ai dragged on her voice, it sounds like she wanted to sing "shinjitai", just as "nakunai". However, I already corrected the "nakunai" if you hadn't noticed. I'll fix the "shinjitai" as well.
I'm fairly sure it's "jibun no misuteru" but I'll have it checked again anyway just to make sure. And finally, I did put in the lyrics "nagareru you ni" however during the romaji I made a typo Tongue Thanks for pointing it out though!

@felixlaumon: Ah that's cool. Cry out, rather than long. Yeah, that's true...argh so many mistakes by me!!!

Anyway, thanks guys for helping out! I'll put up the full lyrics soon, seeing as the full song is now available

Wow, this song is pretty sad. I've held off on listening except for a itsy bitsy PV preview about a million years ago, so I barely remember what it sounds like. I really can't wait 'til my LOVE PiECE arrives, I'm really looking forward to this song a lot.

Hey guys. I'm new here, actually it's my first time visiting this website.
I found a Japanese webpage with the lyrics of Kumuriuta so comparing them with yours I found the following mistakes.

1) ドキドキ should be 時々
2) 曇り空、泣くな またここは通過点で , the また should be まだ
3) 傷は持って should be 傷を持って
4) 自分の見捨てるな should be 自分を見捨てるな
5) 繰るに泳いで should be くるり 泳いで
6) Correct this またここは通過点で to this まだ again
And yea she says 泣くな which is more commanding than Nakanai or Nakanaide.

Good job with the lyrics mate. Hope I was a bit useful.
Yoroshiku onegai shimasu : )
