Heisei Fuuzoku
| shinpi de dekita utsukushii kemono o miru sagashiteita mono o mitsuketa yorokobi o ima uta ni kaeyou todoite “anata no namae o shiritai aa kitto itsuka yobemasu you ni” shinpi wa shiranai onore ga kiseki da to wa ushirometai kimochi no watashi wa iiwake mo uta ni kaeyou tatoeba “anata no kodou o kikitai aa zutto haruka tooku kara mo” “anata no shiten o yomitai aa kyou ga nigeteyuku mae ni anata no namae o yobitai aa douka anata udomanaide” |
I did it as a mystery I watch beautiful beasts I found what I had been missing, the joy I’ll now turn into song Let it reach you “I want to know your name Oh, so that I may someday surely call it out” I don’t know any mystery If you’re a miracle With my guilty feelings I’ll turn even my excuses into song For example “I want to hear your heartbeat Oh, even from far far away, always” “I want to read your opinions Oh, before today escapes I want to call out your name Oh, please don’t shun me” |
Notes: The fact that Ringo gave her official translation of this song's title as "First Love Singer" (when the kanji for the word mean 'Prostitute') may be a reference to a line from Genjitsu o Warau, "I sing my songs as if I were a prostitute."
