Hitomi: Flow

02.9.21
Artist: Hitomi
Title: Flow
Words: Hitomi
Music: Suzuki Akinori

the girl passing by me,
softly smiles innocently
here I am, cunning and cowardly
this little thing searching
for a love suitable for one like me.
lost in my own heart

how far does this feeling reaching higher and higher go?

I'm going to expose myself to the wind,
until I can wash away the things I spoiled.
And surely then it'll come true,
I'll find your smile again in a different place.

things are so messed up, I don't know what's goin' on anymore
Be gone! Oh look what I went and said. *1
This world's not going to go away
that's why I'm searching for a sweet love today.
sweet sweet like candy.

I wonder if I'll hold the warmth that's there without indulging myself.
I wonder if I can take back that which I've lost,
that which I should never have lost.
If I could somehow turn this pain into joy,
I'd right now, accept anything.

Something sleeping deep deep in the ocean,
is now coming back to life.

In this world there're too many things I don't know
until I find them I'll expose myself to the flow
someday I need to be tender of heart
then in a different place with you.

Translator's Notes: The flow of this song comes from the idea that there's something flowing by us at all times that we normally don't face. But we should. On to the *'s.

*1 - nante ne used like this is a kind of girlish way to point out something silly or striking that you said. It sounds a little playful.
