The Back Horn: Ikusenkounen No Kodoku
02.01.18
Artist: The Back Horn Title: Ikusen Kounen No Kodoku (Loneliness of Thousands of Light Years) Words: The Back Horn Music: The Back Horn There are no vacancies in heaven The Animal Caricature *1 Banquet continues Like "All races are equal," "I love you" or "Give it up, bitch" I turn up my collar and keep on walking on a freezing midsummer's day Burned deep into my back a cross The melancholy of thousands of light years rains down on me Deep in the building a faceless Jesus Christ is weeping A musicbox If it sings to the rain The very last bell A jester that has no wings One of these days I'll probably forget all about the children made of glass who flew through the star-filled sky In the far reaches of space not even the melancholy of thousands of light years can reach The sun's golden mane flutters about In this monochrome world the morning sun will never ever rise again A sunflower trapped inside a picture. The melancholy of thousands of light years rains down on me Deep in the building faceless people were weeping. In the far reaches of space thoughts can't even reach The sun's golden mane flutters about Translated By: Brian Dunn. I try to write the English so it flows along with the Japanese lyrics as much as possible, breaking the lines with the flow of the singing. Translator's Note: *! * 1 -The Animal Caricatures, or Choujuugiga, are famous old scrolls with drawings that depicted animals doing human-like things in a caricature style.
