クスシキ – Bilingual Lyrics Japanese/English

• By: Mrs. GREEN APPLE

Lyrics & Translation

[English]

It's truly mysterious.

Are words really honest?

That liar

fell from the heavens.

That’s what I heard, though.

Seems like that person

was loved by everyone, apparently.

The feelings I want to sense

are therefore free and unbound.

Derived from strange arts,

Mahoroba.

"You are here."

Just that alone

makes me feel the pain of living today.

The difference between "I love you" and "I’m sorry"

is like the moon and the sun.

Since we’ll meet again tomorrow, it’s fine.

A soul that learns nothing at all

thinks of you again.

In this life too.

It’s service.

More than "I want this,"

I want to hear "I want this for you."

Contrary to expectations, a self-centered world.

I want to devour love that’s gone a full lap and a half.

Where is the medicine that works for me?

If you let fools speak,

this world is paradise.

I can’t be honest.

Someday I’ll

become as straightforward as that child, for sure.

Falling behind and losing out on everything.

The difference between "I love you" and "I adore you"

is like the moon and its surface.

The words I swallowed sprout again,

and if they stay in my body forever,

I realize my love has become twisted.

Turning the page to the next chapter,

I’ll hum your song, now turned to stone,

as I walk along.

I’ll smile, knowing I’m not alone.

The next thick book,

I’ll hum my song, now a sickness,

as I walk along.

I’ll walk through the lonely night.

I love you.

I’m sorry.

Goodbye.

Like the sun in the night.

In the flow of Kusushiki time,

even a soul that finds what’s precious

thinks of you again.

In the next life too.

[Japanese]

摩訶不思議だ

言霊は誠か

偽ってる彼奴は

天に堕ちていった

って聞いたんだけども

彼奴はどうも

皆に愛されてたらしい

感じたい思いは

故に自由自在だ

奇しき術から転じた

まほろば

「あなたが居る」

それだけで今日も

生きる傷みを思い知らされる

愛してるとごめんねの差って

まるで月と太陽ね

また明日会えるからいいやって

何一つ学びやしない魂も

貴方をまた想う

今世も

奉仕だ

こうしたいとかより

こうして欲しいが聞きたい

思いの外 自分軸の世界

一周半廻った愛を喰らいたい

私に効く薬は何処だ

馬鹿に言わせりゃ

この世は極楽だ

正直になれない

私はいつか

素直になれるあの子にきっと

色々と遅れては奪われる

愛してると大好きの差って

まるで月と月面ね

また呑んだ言葉が芽を出して

身体の中にずっと残れば

気づけば拗れる恋模様

めくれば次の章

石になった貴方の歌を

口ずさんで歩こう

ひとりじゃないって笑おう

分厚めの次の本

病になった私の歌を

口ずさんで歩こう

ひとりの夜を歩こう

愛してるよ

ごめんね

じゃあね

まるで夜の太陽ね

クスシキ時間の流れで

大切を見つけた魂も

貴方をまた想う

来世も

Key Grammar Structures

• 偽ってる彼奴は

  ➔ Te-iru form (ている) for progressive/continuous action; Noun + wa (は) as topic marker.

  ➔ "偽ってる" (usotteru) is the te-iru form of 偽る (usowaru), meaning "to lie." 彼奴 (ayatsu) means "that guy/person." The "wa" marks "that lying guy" as the topic of the sentence.

• 天に堕ちていった

  ➔ Ni (に) particle indicating direction; Te-iku (ていく) form showing movement away from the speaker or a process going away.

  ➔ "天に" (ten ni) means "to heaven." "堕ちていった" (ochite itta) is the past tense of 堕ちていく (ochite iku), meaning "to fall away/downward." The te-iku suggests the falling is going away from the speaker in time or space.

• 皆に愛されてたらしい

  ➔ Ni (に) particle indicating the receiver of an action; Passive form (～れる/られる); Rashii (らしい) indicating hearsay or conjecture.

  ➔ "皆に" (minna ni) means "by everyone." "愛されてた" (aisareteta) is the past tense passive form of 愛する (aisuru), meaning "to be loved." "らしい" (rashii) means "it seems/apparently/I heard."

• それだけで今日も

  ➔ Sore dake de (それだけで) - "just with that"; Mo (も) - also/too/even; Kyou (今日) - today

  ➔ "それだけで" (sore dake de) means "just with that/only because of that." The addition of "も" (mo) to "今日も" (kyou mo) emphasizes that "even today"...

• 生きる傷みを思い知らされる

  ➔ Verb (stem form) + を + Object + shirasareru (～知らされる) = To be made to realize/know; Passive form (～れる/られる)

  ➔ "生きる傷みを思い知らされる" (ikiru itami wo omoishirasareru) translates to "I am made to realize/feel the pain of living." The causative-passive form "shirasareru" expresses that the speaker is being made to experience something.

• こうして欲しいが聞きたい

  ➔ Verb (Te-form) + hoshii (欲しい) - expresses a desire that someone else do something; Ga (が) - contrastive particle; Verb (stem) + tai (たい) - desire to do something

  ➔ "こうして欲しい" (koushite hoshii) means "I want you to do this." "聞きたい" (kikitai) means "I want to hear." The "ga" emphasizes the contrast between wanting someone to do something and wanting to do something oneself.

• 正直になれない

  ➔ Adjective + ni naru (になる) - to become; Verb (nai-form) - negative form of a verb

  ➔ "正直になれない" (shoujiki ni narenai) means "cannot become honest" or "cannot be honest." It's the negative form of becoming honest.

• 色々と遅れては奪われる

  ➔ To + verb = if/when; Passive form (～れる/られる);

  ➔ okureru TO ubarawareru: okureru is to be late, and ubarawareru means that (something) is taken away (by someone).
