More bossa nova! I might have mentioned this before, but I love good arrangements of Apparitions Stalk the Night/A Soul as Red as a Ground Cherry. RTS12 has been pretty good in that respect. Anyway, like most of Shibayan’s Bossa Nova albums, the lyrics are light-hearted and innocent, with a bitter centre of desertion and isolation.
歌詞
こぼれ落ちた雫 水玉をつける
パステルライン 曇り空に変わるよ
まだ帰らないアナタ 想うとポツリと
ひとつまた ひとつ 流れてはじける
出会ったばかりの頃に 歩いた道を
悲しくて通れないの アナタの声が聞こえるから
鏡の前ひとり 気取ってみたりね
フワリ・カワイイ・リボンつけて ほら待ってるわ
oh please, don’t don’t let me down
ガッカリさせないで ずっと待つわ
ひとりで見上げる空はネズミ色 ずっと待つわ
oh please, don’t don’t let me down
イジワルしないで ここへ戻ってよ
oh please, don’t don’t let me down
ガッカリさせないで ずっと待つから
Romanisation
kobore ochita shizuku mizutama wo tsukeru
pasuteru rain kumori sora ni kawaru yo
mada kaeranai anata omou to potsuri to
hitotsu mata hitotsu nagarete hajikeru
deatta bakari no koro ni aruita michi wo
kanashikute toorenai no anata no koe ga kikoeru kara
kagami no mae hitori kitotte mitari ne
fuwari kawaii ribon tsukete hora matteru wa
oh please, don’t don’t let me down
gakkari sasenai de zutto matsu wa
hitori de miageru sora wa nezumi iro zutto matsu wa
oh please, don’t don’t let me down
ijiwaru shinai de koko he modotte yo
oh please, don’t don’t let me down
gakkari sasenai de zutto matsukara
Translation
The drops of water have spilled over, and they seep in…
That pastel line changes into a cloudy sky.
You still haven’t returned. When I think of you, drop by drop –
One, and another – the water flows down.
The streets we walked when we had just met –
They’re sorrowful, and I can’t travel along them. It’s because I can hear your voice…
Alone in front of the mirror, I try to strut about and so forth…
I put on a light, cute ribbon – hey! I’m waiting!
Oh please, don’t don’t let me down.
Don’t disappoint me. I’ll wait forever!
The sky I gaze up at, alone, is grey. I’ll wait forever!
Oh please, don’t don’t let me down.
Don’t tease me – come back here!
Oh please, don’t don’t let me down.
Don’t disappoint me. I’ll wait forever!
