BRILLANTE lyrics
 

Official lyrics taken from Recochoku. Just putting these up so someone can make some translations. :)

*I was also able to listen to the chakuuta. It's a "medium number" with music similar to that of a movie soundtrack (as written on Recochoku). It also contains chanting from male vocals.
**The "official" way to read the title is, accoring to Ayu, is Burirante, just to clarify.

BRILLANTE

Lyrics: Ayumi Hamasaki
Composer：Timothy Wellard

Translation (Thanks Misa!)
Romaji (Thanks Yukari!)
Kanji
あなたを想って 綴るのはこれで
最後にする事にしたわ

理由を告げない それが最大の
あたしからの贈り物

思ったよりも人間はずっと強いものね
少し長く 闇の中にいたけれど
そろそろ行くわ

何も見えなくなったその後で
全て見えた
続く道は狭すぎて ひとりきりで
歩くしか他にないの

泣いてみたり 叫んでみたり
できる力は残ってなんかもうないのね
ひたすら無に襲われるのね

ふたつだったものが ひとつになって
ふたつになった ただそれだけの事ね
ただ元に戻っただけの事よね

何も見えなくなったその後で
全て見えた
続く道は狭すぎて もう並んで
歩いては行けないのよ、、、

Nooooooo short lyrics, it better not be a ballad. :tired

W8 Timmy composed it? wutttt

Timothy Wellard?! that British guy, a new member of ayu's team?

thank you for kanji :)

interesting...
new composer...
waiting for proper translation

i use online translator, looks like the lyrics is so different

Timothy Wellard o__O wooow

OH WOWW TIMMY wrote it!
woww..
and yet he appeared on the PV as well..wow!

Translation. This song is dark. o_0

Woah, Timmy composed it!

He is a composer after all, so I guess we know his role in her team... kind of? The description makes me think that it'll have a bit of a do it again feel since that was a bit "movie soundtrack-y" at some points.

thanks misachan for the lyric translation!
the lyric looks like ourselves haha~

^
a composer and a PV model too haha XD quite an interesting job XD

Misa-chan - thanks...really dark song and very thoughtful

thanks!
The lyrics and the pv are so differents...
I´m waiting impatient!

translated into a romaji

thank you for translation, Misa-chan! this song seems to be sad ~.~ reminds me of End roll

Interesting, thanks! This song better be good!

Thanks for the translations. I'm really interested to hear this sounds--especially now that we know it's a new composer! Has Timmy worked with other Avex artists before Ayu snapped him up, or is this his first ~high-profile composition?

I think she is probably his first big break. He previously had a MySpace page with some compositions, but it was deleted. His YouTube page is still up though with some covers!

now these are amazing lyrics :D thanks! hope the song itself sounds great as well!

Strong lyrics, I hope the song will be just as intense ^^

Can't wait to hear the music!

thnks... i loved the last verse... its a bit sad tho

thx ^^

very interesting lyrics!!

Thanks for the kanji~ I can't wait to hear this song *-*

pretty pesymistic o_o but very interesting lyrics though

i feel completely into this lyrics right now...very saddening anyway.
Thanks for posting them!

Thanks for the translation! I can't wait to hear how it sounds!

i think this song for MANUEL SCHWARZ.. heiiii, where is mannie? do u have latest news about him?

Thank you! ;)

I do too. I don't mean to start rumors but these lyrics definitely sound like the end of a marriage.
Not saying it is, but that's just what it sounds like.

it's sign
 

ya i think it's sign , because ayu always make a lyrics based on her true story,
that is why ayu's lyrics always wonderfull

the lyrics for this song seems to be really short >< !!

I really hope this song is not related to Mannie :\ or even if it is, I hope they won't get divorced in near future. I imagine how she'll be critisized by media if they eventually divorce.

If Ayu only released sad break-up songs when she was breaking up with someone, her relationship with Nagase would have ended in every winter single :P

Mannie and Ayu have been talking on Twitter as usual, lol.

Pretty sure they're okay. Ayu was writing songs that were breakuppy even while she was with Nagase. It could possibly be someone else's experience she's writing about as well since that is a source of her inspiration.

lol, I was in the same area as Mannie last weekend for the end of Nisei Week.

Thanks!

Man.. dark and sad.. Reminds me of end roll!

Jee sounds like she is fed up with her long distance marriage....

I love it! Strong, dark, sad... LOVE!!! :heart

Thanks!!

dang it >.<'
she makes such lyrics now when i'm in a relationship dilemma >.<'

Nice lyrics..and heartbreaking but firm too.
medium number hmm??

and whose this timmy guy again?

:laugh omg this.

I don't think every lyrics of her should be related to her life necessarily.
Ayu's just a extremely sensitive woman imo. Maybe she want to express herself through music on every human feelings. Especially love and sadness. Or maybe I'm extremely naive and I don't want they break-up :weep. They're too cute together.


Anyway I really likes BRILLANTE's lyrics. I really can't wait to listen to it :3 thanks for the translation & sharing!

He is the drag queenish looking guy in BRILLANTE's making shots.

He's also on Twitter as timwellard.

yes, please, not something like that happen. their marriage is not even 1 year.

I hope that Beloved and BRILLANTE's lyrics don't relate to Mannie!!! I want them to stay together :(

wow I'm not the only one who thinks this way :D


yeah, you're right! let's stay calm.

Thank you for the translation. Can't wait to hear this song.

Thank you :D
I like the lyrics :3.. I hope I'm going to like the song as well *-*

Woww... so deep ... really love that style of the lyrics... and the composer is Timy?? wow... he is a singer for real.. really love his voice...

by the way... i just found out timy YT & FB (dunno if this the official one or not, but i think it's official)
correct me if i'm wrong ^^

I think these are my favourite lyrics off FIVE so far <3 Really striking.

I hope this song is about someone else and not about her and Mannie.

It's neat that the two Bs of the album are complete opposites when it comes to their subject matter and POV on love, haha. One's about having your one and only and being with them always, and the other is about separating due to unseen circumstances.

One of the best songs Ayu has released in years.. Reminds me of the good old days <3. Something different.

waaaaah, new composer, I love this song. straight away become the best song from FIVE

Am I the only one who hears:

5:17 - "auf Wiedersehen"

and

5:25 - "до свидания" (Do swidania)

in those male vocals?

Both mean "Good bye", it fits the lyrics but it may be just my imagination :D

^ OMG I hear them too Oo

How have u guys heard the song? I can't find it :/

btw I just checked my romaji, she sings HITO instead of NINGEN and there's one verse missing, so now it must be like this

The missing verse:
痛みが想像の範囲をあまりに (itami ga souzou no han'i wo amari ni)
超えてしまった時に人間は (koete shimatta toki ni hito wa)

It's definitely "goodbye" in some languages out there.
I'm dying to have lyrics from Timmy's choirs

I was hoping this would be an upbeat song, but now that I've heard it, seen the PV, and read the lyrics I name it one of her best songs in a long time, it is so powerful!! I love it!

Added the missing passage and changed some parts. Thanks to tenshi no hane!! ;)

Year... I also hear "Auf Wiedersehen". (^_^) I didn't noticed "Do swidania". Until you said it.. I also hear it.
But... what language the rest of the guy is singing? I don't really understand really much of it.

After 'Do swidania' it sounds like 'Au revoir' ('good bye' in French).

This song gives me major Duty vibes.

:yes
I hear do swidania then au revoir then do swidania again!

Has anybody been able to figure out any more of the chanting, aside from the "do swindania", "au revoir", and "auf wiedersehen"?

I'm not sure about the last one, but I cannot tell what it actually is, so we'll have to wait for the full lyrics. Maybe people who have Timmy on Twitter should just ask him since he said he sung it :)

I think I can also hear Alvida, which is the hindi word for goodbye i believe

Au revoir.... I didn't noticed.
Maybee.. the most of the singing is in Latein? Sound like Latein.

Probably, but even my Latein speaking friend couldn't tell.
He hears Albinus, albina right before auf Wiedersehen.

well "do swidania (до свидания)" is a "goodbye" "see you later" in russian.... that chanting seems to be in a dozen of different languages..*blinks*

EDIT:

lol i tried xD so we'll have to figure them out by ourselves lol

Thanks for trying lol!

I'm russian native speaker and I really doubt it's "do swidania" there. It sounds alike and at first I thought so, but actually you can hear familiar words so often, and so often it's just your imagination. It all sounds like just 1 language actually, don't you think so?

No.. I totaly can understand "Auf Wiedersehen". And I really think, in the end, it is "Good bye" in different languages.
Like Madonna's "Sorry"... she said "sorry" in different languages there.
I relly think, the most in Latin.
Someone should ask Timmy....(that was his name, right?)

I can't hear any of those words you say you can hear xDD I don't hear Auf wiedersehen, neither Do swidania or Au revoir xD I mostly hear like latin or maybe ancient greek words that I don't understand, but anything else...

Okay I have no other back up for these except my poor hearing + "goodbye in many languages" sites + obviously too much time in my hands right now. :thud

1/2 hour well spent lol.

Adoring these lyrics btw, thanks.

I sent my guesses to Timmy via FB, still waiting for the answer.

Tim answered me at twitter. He wrote:

Bummer, now we have to ask ayu for the background lyrics and we might not get it ever xD

The lyrics are as beautiful as the song (well, obviously it's a part of it), thanks!

Yeah, I doubt ayu will answer, but we have to try.

officially "in love" with this song

thanks to misa-chan for the lyrics...
but what is timmy(?) singing???

Say it isn't so! Is this to her hubby?!!! I'm jking guys :thud

But still...what sad lyrics :(...Thanx for the translation!

I think you guys already know that the last 'goodbye' word is in Arabic
"Maa Salaam"

Just to fill in the blank for some of you guys :D
