SAD SONG

• By: ちゃんみな

Lyrics:

[日本語]

[English]

THE FIRST TAKEに戻ってくることが出来ました

I was able to return to THE FIRST TAKE

ありがとうございます

Thank you very much

今回はですね私にってすごく特別な楽曲でして

This time, this song is really special to me

日本武道館を初めてライヴするというときに 仲間と一緒に追いかけていたすごい大きなステージでもあって

When I was about to have my first live at Nippon Budokan - it was a huge stage that I chased after with my friends

そこを追っかけて切磋琢磨していた日々が

Those days of striving together

私の年齢的にもこれが永遠に続くものでは ないのかもしれないとちょっと思った寂しさと

At my age, I thought a little about the sadness that this might not last forever

永遠に続いて欲しいというちょっと子供っぽさと

And a bit of childishness wishing it would last forever

幸せ過ぎて悲しいという経験をした時に

When I experienced the happiness that was too much and turned sad

当時６畳半のすごい狭い部屋で私のいつも後ろについてくださっているバックバンドの仙人と堀さんと"Dr.R"Sakaiさんを迎えながら作った楽曲です

This song was created with my backing band, Sennin, Hori-san, and Dr. R Sakai, in a really small room of six tatami mats

それを今年　去年から今年にかけて 「NO NO GIRLS」というオーディション番組をやらせていただいて

This year, from last year to this year - I was able to participate in an audition program called "NO NO GIRLS"

この曲が又他の形で色がついて咲いたことにすごく感謝をしております

I am very grateful that this song has bloomed in another form

そんな感謝と愛を込めまして今日は私だけではありませんので

With that gratitude and love, today it's not just me

それでは皆さんを呼ばせていただきたいと思います

So, I would like to call everyone

Come on girls

Come on girls

「NO NO GIRLS」のファイナリストの皆です

Here are the finalists of "NO NO GIRLS"

他の皆の「NO NO GIRLS」も応募してくれた皆さんにもshow it to everybody

Show it to everybody, including everyone who applied for "NO NO GIRLS"

皆どうでしょう？

How is everyone?

緊張しています

I’m nervous

I’m nervous

I’m nervous

でも私はちょっといつも一人だから逆にちょっとあれかもしれない

But I’m usually alone, so it might be a bit different

久しぶりだね

It's been a while, hasn't it?

皆で揃うのは本当に久しぶりじゃない？

It's really been a long time since we all gathered, right?

久しぶり

It's been a while

どんな気持ちですか？

How do you feel?

幸せ

Happy

エモーショナルです

Emotional

皆更にかわいくなった

Everyone has become even cuter

What song are we going to sing today?

せーの「SAD SONG」です

On the count of three, "SAD SONG"

We will sing it in an eleven-member version

すごく私にとってスペシャルですし

It's really special for me

こうやって皆と又何かが出来てすごく幸せなのと

I’m so happy to be able to do something with everyone like this

やっぱりこの瞬間が一生残るのでね 来世にも伝えられるような声を届けたいと思います

After all, this moment will last a lifetime - I want to deliver a voice that can be conveyed even in the next life

THE FIRST TAKE　ありがとうございます

Thank you, THE FIRST TAKE

ありがとうございます

Thank you very much

それではare you ready girls?

So, are you ready, girls?

Yeah

Yeah

ＯＫ, let’s go

Okay, let’s go

お願いします

Please

Let’s go

Let’s go

This is a freaking sad song for you guys

This is a freaking sad song for you guys

Itʼs freaking hard to say it, goodbye

It’s freaking hard to say it, goodbye

Let’s go

Let’s go

Did you see that beautiful moon and stars?

Did you see that beautiful moon and stars?

前⾒た時より綺麗だ

It's more beautiful than the last time I saw it

Hello how are you

Hello, how are you?

はじめまして ずっと会いたかったんだよ

Nice to meet you, I’ve wanted to see you for a long time

君に会うまでの間

During the time before I met you

少しだけ⼼配してた

I was a little worried

でも君はなんて事ないって顔してる

But you look like it’s nothing at all

ずっとそばにいてよ

Stay by my side forever

こんなご時世にさ

In this day and age

そんなわがままダメなのかな

Is it selfish to want that?

This is a freaking sad song for you guys

This is a freaking sad song for you guys

Itʼs freaking hard to say it, goodbye

It’s freaking hard to say it, goodbye

So tell me

So tell me

この夢が終わる時はそっと教えてね

When this dream ends, please tell me softly

This is a freaking love song for you guys

This is a freaking love song for you guys

さよならはまだ先でしょう

Goodbye is still a long way off

もう少しこうしてたい

I want to stay like this a little longer

できるだけ

As much as possible

できるだけ

As much as possible

本当のこと教えてよ

Tell me the truth

後で悲しみたくないの

I don’t want to be sad later

例えば君の正体は

For example, if your true identity is

お化けだったとかさ

A ghost or something

でもきっと今のところ

But for now

それでもいいってくらい君が好きだ

I love you enough to say that’s okay

ほら⾒てそんな感じで笑うから

Look, you smile like that

変な話だよね

It’s a strange story, isn’t it?

背が⽌まる頃に

When I stop growing

永遠って⾔葉を疑うのかな

I wonder if I’ll doubt the word eternity

願うならこんな私が

If I wish, I hope that this love of mine

死んでもこの愛だけは

Even if I die, at least

せめて

Will remain and bloom

残って咲いてますように

残って咲いてますように

今はただこんな私の

For now, I just want you to believe in

この⾳とこんな歌声を

This sound of mine and this singing voice

信じていて欲しいんだ

I want you to believe in it

できるだけ

As much as possible

Itʼs hard to say it

It’s hard to say it

I canʼt say it

I can’t say it

I never say it

I never say it

I donʼt want to say it

I don’t want to say it

Itʼs hard to say it

It’s hard to say it

I canʼt say it

I can’t say it

願うならこんな私が

If I wish, I hope that this love of mine

死んでもこの愛だけは

Even if I die, at least

せめて

Will remain and bloom

残って咲いてますように

For now, I just want you to believe in

今はただこんな私の

This sound of mine and this singing voice

この⾳とこんな歌声を

I want you to believe in it

信じていて欲しいんだ

Let’s go!

Let’s go!

This is a freaking sad song for you guys

This is a freaking sad song for you guys

This is a freaking sad song for you guys

Itʼs freaking hard to say it, goodbye

It’s freaking hard to say it, goodbye

So tell me

So tell me

この夢が終わる時はそっと教えてね

When this dream ends, please tell me softly

This is a freaking love song for you guys

This is a freaking love song for you guys

さよならはまだ先でしょう

Goodbye is still a long way off

もう少しこうしてたい

I want to stay like this a little longer

できるだけ

As much as possible

永遠って事にしておこうよ

Let’s just say it’s eternity

このままずっと笑いあってよう

Let’s keep laughing like this forever

⼦供みたい永遠なんてないとか

Even if they say there’s no such thing as eternity like children

なんて⾔われても関係ない

It doesn’t matter

もしもこの夢が覚めたとして

Even if this dream wakes up

もう⼀度歌って叫んででも I cannot say it

I’ll sing and shout again, but I cannot say it

さよならはできないから

I can’t say goodbye

願うならこんな私が

If I wish, I hope that this love of mine

死んでもこの愛だけは

Even if I die, at least

せめて

Will remain and bloom

残って咲いてますように

For now, I just want you to believe in

今はただこんな私の

This sound of mine and this singing voice

この⾳とこんな歌声を

I want you to believe in it

信じていて欲しいんだ

As much as possible

できるだけ

Wait a minute, crying is unfair

ちょっと待って　泣くのは反則じゃん

Well then, thank you for your hard work!

じゃ　お疲れさまでした！

Thank you for your hard work!

お疲れさまでした！

Thank you very much

ありがとうございます

No No Girls forever!

No No Girls forever！

No No Girls forever！

Yeah

Yeah

We are No No Girls

We are No No Girls
