'criminal' romaji and translation
 

I'm tired after translating three songs in a day. Good night.
----------------------------------------
Kimi no chinmoku ga nagaku tsuzuke ba tsuzuku hodo ni
Koe ni naranai sakebi ga kikoeru you de
Mune ga harisake sou

Doushite konna ni watashi wa hidoku muryoku de oroka de
Tsunaida hazu no te sae mo mamoru koto ga dekinai

Nee itsuka yurushite hoshii to wa iwanai
Sou kimi ga ima hitori tatakau no nara
Sore koso ga watashi e no aizu tashikana

Tsuyoku aritai to negau amari ni kimi wa namida to
Tomo ni nanika o kakushita watashi dake no tame ni

* Nee itsuka tadoritsuku darou ano basho e
Sou kimi ni tobikiri no keshiki misetai
Sore koso ga ashita e no aizu mirai e

* (repeat)
----------------------------------------
As your silence continues longer
I feel as if I heard your voiceless cry
And my heart would break

Why am I so powerless and stupid?
I can't even protect the hand I surely held

I don't ask you to forgive me some day
If you are fighting alone now
That's the definite sign for me

You wished to be strong so much
That you hid something with tears just for me

* You see? We will get to that place some day
I want to show you a superb view
That's the sign for tomorrow, our future

* (repeat)

We appreciate it very much :) -hug- Have a very nice sleep :)

:3 the lyrics are very 'hopeful' ^^- i really liek them

Thanks masa :)

thanks masa, we appreciate your work!

anyone know why she chose "criminal" as the title then? is she the criminal?

Ah, masa, you're such a hard worker! *have a good night's sleep!*
Thanks for the translations. Apparently you got the lyrics before I did...

Wow awesome!! Thanks for the translation ^_^

Ah, lyrics as wonderful as the song itself. Thank you. ^_^

:( that's so unbelievably sad.

Thank you for the translation/lyrics.

thanks for the translation masa!

Thanks for translating! :)

Thanks once again. While I'm having a bit of a spot trying to understand them, the lyrics sound very eloquent indeed.

sign for what? why's it so sad? i'm not quite getting what ayu means, lol. :tipsy

Also, a suggestion... I am pretty sure that "superfine" is not a word, and it sounds awkward.

thanks for the translation, masa. really lyk the lyrics.

wow such nice lyrics...

thanks for all your hard work masa... get a good nighte sleep... we all appreciate your kindness!


Yeah I think Ayu means she is the criminal for letting someone dear down... it is a sad song... before I saw the lyrics I know it was sad because of the infliction in Ayu's voice... this song is so wonderful!:love

What she's getting at is that if her lover is 'fighting' by himself, he no longer needs her, which means she's become more or less pointless :\

Yeah.. the CD DATA thingie said that Ayu meant for this song to be about being a criminal to yourself, rather than a criminal that steals little elephant toys <3 lol

Thank you so much for the translation! :D

Although I agree with Sylphiel that "superfine" sounds very awkward. Perhaps "extraordinary" would be a better translation of "tobikiri"? :)

Thank you masa!!! :D

WOOHOO! <3 I can't wait till you do Ladies Night and Beautiful Day! ^___^

thanks for the translation!

thx a lot ^^

You are welcome.

>I am pretty sure that "superfine" is not a word, and it sounds awkward.

Really? Though this word is in my dictionary.
So I change it to "superb". (I editted my first post.)

Again, I changed the ninth line as this and editted my first post.
You wished to be so strong --> You wished to be strong so much

Thanks for the translation!

Thanks masa! :D I like the lyrics... but I'd like them more if I understood the context.

Superb is much better. :yes

This is another song I could say lyrics r my fave - I like the song in all because it sounds awesome, however lyrics r always very important for me.

superfine is a word, and would probably be fine to use here. I think it has a bit of a sarcastic connotation when used about people though.

thank you so much! the award you received was/is VERY well deserved! ^^

I changed the first line and editted my first post.

As your silence remains longer --> As your silence continues longer

the title does not really fit into the picture... but thanks masa~

thankz vry vry vry muchie!~

Wow. Thanks. The meaning's so deep...and so sad... Makes me just wanna cuddle and comfort Ayu-chan...

Still, with that last stanza, she still hasn't lost hope, has she? Despite the sorrowful tone of the song, she still remains optimistic about the future.

Thanks so much for the translation, it's such a sad song.

Thank you very much for the translation. The song makes me want to cry. =(
