Hitoto Yoh: Omokage Modan
04.06.08
Artist: Hitoto Yoh Title: Omokage Modan (Remanant of the Modern) Words: Hitoto Yoh Music: Inoue Yousui ...Billions more of our dollars in interest, increasing our debt, decresing our ability to invest in our children's... the vagueness I got from you I think it's been passed down from another the phone call I slammed down the button dials *1 I've just been tantalized into dancing for 1 or 2 years I dropped my wine red hat the platform opposite me I can't hear what the pigeons in front are saying anymore like a spiral, without end, without end last from me half asleep, the sudden change in wind from day to night, starts to tell me where I'm going the sleeping princess is ta-dum ta-dum *2 the parachute of my feelings for you when we met, ta-dum ta-dum the speed it went away, a stray cloud on the double bridge ta-dum ta-dum we are a remnant of the modern the vagueness I gave to you no one will be refused when you've parted the clouds of smoke, it'll soon be time who's next? to be blunt, to be blunt, a friend's girlfriend I heard it without knowing it, a drop falls on my romance, drip, drop, drip the train leaving ta-dum ta-dum I can't see you ta-dum ta-dum One who has lost their love ta-dum ta-dum smack dab in the middle of the fog, tangled, covered a two sided ta-tum ta-tum we are a remnant of the modern Translated By: Brian Stewart & Takako Sakuma Translator's Notes: Another case of WTF!? I would venture to say that this song is impossible to translate effectively. I hope we got across enough of its atmosphere for you all to understand it. * 1 - Hitoto Yoh uses Kanji here meaning "The peony freezes" but clearly the lyrics are intended to be botan ga ko-ru or "button" ga "call". * 2 - The sound effect word tatan tatan could have several different meanings. The one we most felt listening to this song was the sound of someone doing steps in a dance. A big drum also makes this sound as can a chugging locomotive.
