calm wave - orange pekoe

finally a request finished!!! this has been due over a year now T^T i finally managed to translate this awesome song for my friend dawnie and of course rjene as well ^^

what made me translate this is because this was playing over and over on my iPod while i sat on the beach after an afternoon of surfing. the sound is very soothing and i found myself swaying along ang my thoughts drifting away…hearing this song again made me miss the beach since it’s been almost six months since i surfed. i myself became curious about the lyrics so i looked the japanese lyrics up, did the romaji and translated. i hope i did justice to the imagery of the song in its original language, it’s just too awesome to put it into english ^^;

no pv so i’m embedding an mp3 here from imeem. the japanese lyrics are also here.

Calm Wave - orange pekoe

CALM WAVE
Orange Pekoe
Romaji by Chelli

kemuri wo kuyurasete heion na nami no oto ni
mi wo makaseteiru gogo ni wa
sou, kimattekuru

hakuchuumu niwa funiai na doragonfurai
oikake kizuite wa fukidasu
kimi wa mou koko ni iru hazu mo nai no ni

kimi wa, ima, doko ni ite
nani wo shiteiru no darou
nami wa kite satteyuku
chotto shita kimagure to kizuato mo
satteyuku

boku wa mou sora wo miageru goto ni unazuiteiru
nami dake ga subete wo shitteiru
kono omoi no subete

kawaita kabe moroku kuzureta e wa
tomaru koto mo naku nagareru toki wo katatte
boku wo mae e oshiyaru yo

kimi wa, ima, doko ni ite,
nani wo shiteiru no darou
nami wa kite satteyuku
chotto shita kimagure ni mo
asu wa kuru kanarazu dare no ue ni mo
sore wo tada ukeireyou
nami wa kitte, satteyuku chotto shita kanshou to shinjitsu mo
satteyuku

boku wa mou sora wo miageru goto ni unatzuiteru
nami dake ga subete wo shitteiru, oh
kono omoi no subete

CALM WAVE
Chelli Translation

letting the smoke curl up to the sound of calm waves
the afternoon when i left my body up to them
that’s right, it’s been decided

i chased a dragonfly which doesn’t suit a daydream
realizing that it just burst out
even if you’re not even supposed to be here anymore

i wonder where you are and
what you are doing right now
like the way the waves come and go away
my little whims and scars
also go away

now i just nod (bow my head) whenever i look up to the sky
but only the waves know everything
everything about this feeling

the picture on the dry, fragile crumbling wall
tells me that time cannot be stopped from passing
so i will just push on forward

i wonder where you are and
what you are doing right now
the waves come and go away
along with my little whims
tomorrow will surely come for anyone
so let’s just accept that fact
like the way the waves come and go
my little sentiments and truth
also go away

now i just nod (bow my head) whenever i look up to the sky
but only the waves know everything
everything about this feeling
