Nino's solo from the new Dream "A"live album, Gimmick Game. Of course, I'd done a translation from ear before (not posted but), however now that I can see the lyrics properly I can do a better translation.

Also, according to zoeycleybourne 's friend, Nino mentioned somewhere along the line that this song was about Ohno? Or perhaps for Ohno? No idea, doesnt make much sense to me. Anyone know?


どうしてだろう

I wonder why it is
あなたの指が

Again, [we’re] worlds apart
自分だけ満足して

You’re satisfying only yourself
それでなんで知らぬ顔で

In that case, how can you love me
私を愛せるの？

And again today,
“愛してる”が腐ってる

Even though… (I can only love you)
あなたの首筋、ホラ、嘘が見えた。
anata no kubisuji, hora, uso ga mieta.
Look, I can see a lie on the nape of your neck.

真面目な顔して

With that serious look on your face
その気はあるのに
sono ki wa aru noni
You even seem interested
なんでしてくれないの？

(Don't cry) Is it the same for you?
（ホラ、ワラッテ）終わりには優しいフリばかり
(hora, waratte) owari niwa yasashii furi bakari
(Hey, laugh) At the end, just pretend to be kind

出ていくのもいいけど

Its okay for you to leave
ねぇ、もっていってよ
nee, motte itte yo
But take everything with you
なにもかも全て全部
nanimo kamo subete zenbu
Probably anything, everything,
思い出もゼンブ
omoide mo zenbu
the memories, all of them

あなたがいらないのは
anata ga iranai nowa
If you don't need it
私もいらないの
watashi mo iranai no
then neither do I
だって…（モウヤメニシヨウナ）
datte… (mou yame ni shiyou na)
Because (Lets just stop this already)
私の首筋にも嘘はあるの
watashi no kubisuji nimo, uso wa aru no
I also have a lie at the nape of my neck

壊れた時間に戻れるなら
kowareta jikan ni modoreru nara
If I were able to go back to the broken times
今なら全てわかるのカナ？
ima nara subete wakaru no kana?
Would I be able to understand everything [knowing what I know] now?
そのコトバ•シグサ•アイ
sono kotoba, shigusa, ai
Your words, your gestures, your love

なんてかわいいフリして
nante kawaii furi shite
Somehow I can pretend to be cute
ウソを着てあるいて
uso o kite aruite
telling lies to the world[3]
なんでだろう街の色が
nande darou machi no iro ga
I wonder why I can see
キレイに見えるの
kirei ni mieru no
the colors of the city as so vibrantly
それは私が汚れているから？
sore wa watashi ga yogoreteiru kara?
Its because I’m tarnished
なの？
nano?
isn’t it?

でもその世界でしか
demo sono sekai de shika
But I only know how
生き方しらないの
ikikata shiranai no
To live in this world
さびしいフリしてすぐに
sabishii furishite sugu ni
Where I pretend to be lonely
涙ながすの
namida nagasu no
and tears flow easily
すれば　ほら　きた。
sureba hora kita.
If I am able to do that,
次の世界が
tsugi no sekai ga
Look, the next world[4] is coming
また（ソンナニナクナヨモウ）
mata (sonnani nakuna yo mou)
Again (Stop crying so much already!)
きみの首筋、ほら、唾をつけた。
kimi no kubisuji, hora, tsuba o tsuketa.
Look, I’ve left my mark on the nape of your neck[5]

Notes:
[1]Lit. "How can you wear a face that doesnt know but love me?"
[2]Lit. "'I love you' is rotting/beginning to stink"
[3]Lit. "Walking and wearing a lie"
[4]I translated this literally "the next world is coming," but I suppose it must make reference to the next relationship.
[5]Lit. "I've spit on your neck," a idiom that comes from the idea of spitting on something to claim it as your own.

General note: This song was sort of a bitch to translate, because its hard to tell when he is referring to himself and when he is referring to his partner. Its also a bit strange because if it wasnt a man singing, you would think that the singer of this song was a girl.

Furthermore, there is so much katakana used that occasionally its a bit hard to tell what he wants to say. He speaks in a Japanese fashion, so its generally dead backwards from English. Thus, if you're reading the Japanese along with the English, the lines dont translate directly. The English translation is meant to be read linearly.
