over the distance – yaida hitomi

i’ve had this song playing over and over in my playlist at seeqpod but didn’t even know the title nor the artist’s name. i was just pleasantly surprised to find out in one of the gigs i hosted that this song was included in the ouendan game for ds-light. and i looooved the band who did the cover, their playlist never fails to make me wanna cry and sing along.

now, i was stuck on this song for quite some time so pardon me if there are any mistakes in my translation. the line with the (*) was the hardest part of all…yaiko used lots of difficult words that was beyond my (dwindling) vocabulary. also, i just noticed for the first part, you can’t hear the iku at the end of the lines cos yaiko didn’t sing those parts. owell, enough of this talk, here you go guys…^^;

OVER THE DISTANCE
Yaida Hitomi

Saigen naku tsuduite iku konpeki na hitotsu no nami ni notte
Souzou wa fukurande iku kankyou no henka wo nikun demo hakanai

Arayuru kaigan wo aruitekita anata no mune ni
Nani ga dekiru darou
Aitai toki ni ae nai

Nani nimo ira nai anata ni furetai
Machi de surechigau kaze ga mune ni shimiru
Omoidasu tabi shinpai shite mitari
Namida ga hitotsubu dakedo anata ni wa todoka nai

Isso aimai de ii ya
Koudou ni riyuu wo sagasu you ni naru no nara
Tsugi ni au hi ni wa kitto tsuyoku naru

Nani ni mo ira nai anata ni furetai
Ikiba wo nakushita uta ga mune ni hibiku
Umaku oyoge nai ano toki no mirai
Doushitemo tooi dakedo anata ja nakya imi nai

Ki ga tsukeba mata koko ni iru
hajimari no basho nukumori no koe

Omotte itayori amaku wa nai mitai
*Isso ima goto topparatte kite hoshii
Sora de utaenai kotori no koe mitai
Konna ni kurushii dakedo anata ja nakya…

Tonde yuki tai ima sugu aitai
Jibun no mimi de aishiteru tte kikitai no
Shinjite itai mamotte yukitai
Tsunagatte itai…

OVER THE DISTANCE
Chelli Translation

without a limit it goes on,riding on a single deep blue wave
expanding the imagination, it’s in vain even if you hate the change in the environment

ive walked every seashore leading to your heart
but what can i do
i can’t see you when i want to

i don’t need anything, i just want to to feel you
passing each other on the streets, the wind pierces my heart
every time i remember you i start trying to worry
even a single tear won’t reach you

i would rather that we were vague
if it meant searching for the reason for your actions
the day we meet again, i’m sure that i’ll be stronger

i don’t need anything, i just want to to feel you
a song that has lost its destination echoes in my chest
i can’t swim well to the future beyond that time
no matter what i do, you’re so far away, but if it’s not you then there’s no meaning at all

when i found myself i was here once again
the place where it all started, the voice of warmth

it wasn’t sweeter than i have thought
*i want you to you break through the present and come to me
i can’t sing in the sky like the voice of a little bird
it hurts this much but if it’s not you…

i want to fly to you and see you right now
i want to hear “i love you” with my very own ears
i want to keep believing
i want to keep protecting you
i want to keep being connected to you
