hguhuwwgrugwehreghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

okay. i'm finally done with the translation for what i think is @yevnev's favorite song, Yuunagi, Bou, Hana Madoi

here you go

*slides translation in like an ice cream bowl*

3/22, 夕凪、某、花惑い (Evening Calm, A Certain Place, Fireworks/Yuunagi, Bou, Hana Madoi)

Before the summer sky came around, The fireworks that bloomed in my chest were what I wrote about And because the night is coming, I only set my sights for the day after tomorrow

I'll use my mouth, put it into words, and say it one more time, That certain August day, of course I remember, I'll never forget It's like it has things I just can't stop talking about This guitar I'm playing rings out two times, And this song is about 380 characters long Writing rock n' roll songs And singing about the summer

Just saying that word, "goodbye" won't ever be enough And I'll keep singing, singing about you in that "false night" sunset hue Remembering, just thinking about it will never be enough Swimming in flowers, that's the kind of summer I wait for And all you turn into are words

So that I wouldn't forget, those fireworks We saw that summer day, I wrote a song about them The memories I have of both of us, Are kind of like ghosts, they come back to me only at night

You know, I don't think there's anything good in this world right now To me, the features of this world are so difficult to understand It's just full of things you never told me about

That one hall where we always played the piano And that one cafe we loved to visit and sit at - they're closed down too Those people that talked trash about us, I want to kill them And I know you'd laugh at that too

Just moving on like this will never be enough And the more I think about us, swimming in the flowers The more everything hurts Summer is on its way, but I'm just dreaming And in my heart, a hole just opens

So if singing about things like this won't ever be enough, Not even those songs about you in that glowing red sunset hue Then I want to feel a night, of beauty and love And here I am, drowning in flowers, waiting for the summer As I glow under this pale moonlight

fun fact you didn't need to know but here: i tried to make this translation around 380 words long which is why (at least to me) it doesn't read as "literal". i spectacularly failed (it's like 357 words TwT)

anyways thanksss i guess or something
