1000日後 (Sennichigo) – Bilingual Lyrics Japanese/English

• By: Yuri Ozaki

Lyrics & Translation

[English]

(Soft vocalizations)

(Instrumental)

What we need right now

Is something even adults find useless

Riding my bike through the spring breeze

The truth I can only tell you

(Instrumental)

A thousand days later

Scattered fragments of memory

A thousand days later

Words left unspoken

A thousand days later

I still can’t change

Hmm, hmm, hmm

A thousand days later

Yeah, what’s the point anyway

Maybe just a little

It’ll feel suffocating, right?

Being earnest is my only virtue

(Instrumental/Interlude)

Your creations

Seem to play tunes only for this moment

With the three primary colors of a rainbow

Any wish could come true right now

Someday we’ll leave this town

Growing up sounds like a joke now

Let’s at least take playtime seriously

Don’t tell anyone about this song

A thousand days later

Memories I can’t reveal

A thousand days later

Secrets I kept

A thousand days later

I still can’t change

Hmm, hmm, hmm

A thousand days later

Yeah, what’s the point anyway

Maybe just a little

A tiny spring, I’m sure

A single petal blown by the wind

When we’re adults beyond memories

We’ll realize it all—

Everyone’s just kids acting grown

A thousand days later

Even if I know the magic will fade

Walk until you change

As far as you can go

A thousand days later

Yeah, what’s the point anyway

Maybe just a little

(Fade out, instrumental, bell sound)

[Japanese]

(Soft vocalizations)

(Instrumental)

僕らには今必要なものは

大人にとっても無駄なもの

自転車で春の風を切る

君にしか言えない本当のこと

(Instrumental)

千日後

足りない記憶

千日後

言えない言葉

千日後

僕まだ変われない

うう、うう、うう

千日後

そうだよどうせ

少しぐらい

窮屈に思えるのかな

真面目さが取り柄だよ

(Instrumental/Interlude)

君の創作は

今だけの曲は聞けないみたいだ

虹色の三原色で

どんな願いも今ならば叶うよ

私たちいつか街を出て

大人になるとか笑えるね

遊びのとこ少しはまともに

この曲誰にも教えないでね

千日後

明かせない記憶

千日後

守った秘密

千日後

私まだ変われない

うう、うう、うう

千日後

そうだよどうせ少しぐらい

窮屈に思えるのかな

きっと小さな春なんて

花びら一枚風が吹けば

記憶の彼方大人になったら

気付けるよみんな

大人ぶった子供だと

千日後

魔法は解けるとわかっていても

変わるまで歩いてみろよ

できるだけ遠くへ

千日後

そうだよどうせ少しぐらい

窮屈に思えるのかな

(Fade out, instrumental, bell sound)
