Jpop Recommend #151 Sora wa marude by Monkey Majik

空はまるで Sora wa marude  

Monkey Majik


Released in July 2007, this is the song in their 4th album of the same title.  Monkey Majik is a hybrid band of 2 Canadian brothers and 2 Japanese.
Although this is a farewell song for someone who is going to start a new journey, it sounds like a crisp autumn wind, dry and refreshing.

空    は   まるで     君    の  ように 青く    澄んで どこ   まで    も
Sora wa marude kimi no youni aoku sunde doko made mo
The sky looks just like you, blue and clear and going beyond the horizon
やがて   僕ら      描き   出した    明日  へ と  走り     出す
Yagate bokura egaki-dashita ashita e to hashiri-dasu
Soon we will start running toward the future we dream of

旅    立つ    けど
Tabi-datsu kedo
Although we go our own ways
looking in the rear view mirror
I got you here 
少し        だけ   clearer
sukoshi dake 
Just a bit clearer
I know with you 
全て      が  広がって   いく
Subete ga hirogatte iku
Evenything will expand
All we need is just a little more time
流れてる      から
Nagareteru kara
Because it is flowing
Everyday look at yourself and smile
Hoping things will go your way.

確か      な  こと   など   何    も    誰   に  も  わからない   から
Tashika na koto nado nani mo dare ni mo wakaranai kara
No one knows for sure
どんな   こと  が  起こる  だろう 手 を   繋いで
donna koto ga okoru darou te wo tsunaide
what will happen... we just hold our hands
I'll never let you get away

空    は   まるで     君    の  ように 青く    澄んで どこ   まで    も

1… 1… Hey I wish we hadn't departed,
But now your life has started,
We met at the shop, and still have something in common.
そしていつかわかる?
Soshite itsuka wakaru?
And someday will we know?
I'm hoping everything is fun,
季節      が  巡る     よ
Kisetsu ga meguru yo
The season will go round
互い  に  過ごした    日々 が ある から
Tagai ni sugoshita hibi ga aru kara
Because we remember the days we spent together
I'm happy ya had the time to stay.
Letting it back, to chat, chilin' and bringin' it back.


確か      な  こと   など   何    も    誰   に  も  わからない   から
Tashika na koto nado nani mo dare ni mo wakaranai kara
No one knows for sure
どんな   こと  が  起こる  だろう 手 を   繋いで
donna koto ga okoru darou te wo tsunaide

Yagate bokura egaki-dashita ashita e to hashiri-dasu
Soon we will start running toward the future we dream of

Everyday I wake up thinking of you
You make it all clear to me
What I want you to do
Leave it up to you
I always knew you'd make it somewhere
You're pushin' it for the top
You never can stop
Enjoy the ride
And you know I'll always be there for you
So make every moment true

'Cause we all grow up and our time is running out
(But) we can teach our youth
That's what life's all about
Maybe you'll fall in love
I may be be your guide 'til then
気持ち     抑えきれず  に…yeah
Kimochi osaekirezu ni 
I couldn't hold my feelings... yeah

それ  は  まるで     涙        の  ように  溢れ   出す よ  いつ   まで   も
Sore wa marude namida no youni afure-dasu yo itsu made mo
It's like tears, it will keep pouring out for a long time
出会った 日 の   喜び      も   いつ の 日 か  いつ の 日 か
Deatta  hi no yorokobi mo itsu no hi ka itsu no hi ka
The joy of the day we met, too, someday someday
