Arakawa Shoukei
Arakawa Shoukei (version 1.1)by Maaya Sakamoto
Translations by Mumu Alpaka(30th June 2024)
"I bought a bicycle, so please come and see it.""I'll be there soon."
The south winds is blowing, and you're arrived in a T-shirt that you outgrown yourself into.Your long wavy hair blowing in the winds.
(Passing by) A golf course.(We saw) A runner.
I wonder where the endless power lines go.
Is that the shadow of a Whale?Swimming slowly across the open green fields...
What were you doing late that night?answered with such unacceptable excuses, which are clearly are all lies.Yes, me.
Blue Skies and Deep Green (Oceans).I'm a little confused by your small act of kindness.What are we to each other? (meant to be)I think so, but... ("..." the words never did comes out)(There are things in my mind, that I don't really want to say.)
As we were sitting on the embankment late that night, quietly enjoying our cold rootbeer.Don't we both look like lovers just this once.
(Tell me) What do you really want?Promises are vulgar, aren't they?But, me.
Blue Skies and Deep Green (Oceans).I'm a little confused by your small act of kindness.What are we (truly are) to each other?Flowing slowly..I'm a little surprised by the crowd cheering at the finish line.If I cross to the other side, I'm confident that there seems to be someone that (is able to truly) understand me.Even if I still get hurt (a little).
What are we to each other?I think so, but
There are always those things that are needless to be said.It's not worth crying over.It's not worth crying over.

Arakawa Shoukei (version 0.9)
"I bought a bicycle, so please come and see it.""I'll be there soon."
The south wind is blowing, and you're coming in a T-shirt that's about to burst.Your hair is blowing in the wind.
A golf course.A runner.
I wonder where the power lines go.Is that the shadow of a whale?Swimming slowly across the field.What were you doing that night?Such excuses are lies.Yes, me.Blue sky and deep green.I'm a little confused by your small kindness.What are we to each other?I think so, butThings I don't need to say.I'm sitting on the embankment and having a beer.Don't look like a lover for just this once.What do you really want?Promises are vulgar, aren't they?But, me.Blue sky and deep green.I'm a little confused by your small kindness.What are we to each other?Flowing slowly.I'm a little surprised by the cheers at the finish line.If I cross to the other side,There seems to be someone there.I still get hurt.What are we to each other?I think so, butThings I don't need to say.It's not worth crying over.It's not worth crying over.
Additional notes:
The song is about a woman who is having mixed feelings about her relationship with a man.The lyrics are full of metaphors and imagery that suggest the woman is feeling confused, lost, and uncertain.The overall tone of the song is bittersweet.I hope this is helpful! Let me know if you have any other questions.
