Matsuura Aya: The Last Night
03.10.13
Artist: Matsuura Aya Title: The Last Night Words: Tsunku Music: Tsunku I intentionally avoided saying anything in return, my eyes still cast downward. I'm sure if I had tried to say anything, I would have burst into tears. An hour, in the passenger seat of your car my eyes still cast downard The sound of the engine echoes out because it's a public parking lot. *1 Just Last Night It was my very first ring I was so happy to receive it I'd kinda got my hopes up for this birthday. The size was a little too big, the panicky look on your face all of it, remains dear to me. Winter is coming. I opened the car door my eyes still cast downward I see it, I see it all so don't worry about it, I'm going. I won't say anything in return. I want to see you suffer a little... so I'll act the cruel woman, because this is it, the end. Just Last Night When you told me you liked the fall, I grew to like it too. *2 The Christmas we spent together, arm in arm I couldn't see you much in the Spring, in summer we had some good times why does it have to end? why... Winter is coming. I love you but... 'goodbye'. Translated By: Brian Stewart & Takako Sakuma Translator's Notes: The story here is that the girl got dumped. And she's wondering where it all went wrong. On to the *'s! *1 - Don't ask us what Tsunku is getting at here. The dakara throws us off. Why would it matter if it was a public parking lot, or should we not even translate the "public" part? Maybe that part is just there for the sound of it. And what Tsunku is really trying to get across is the mood of the breakup scene. *2 - The shi at the end of the statement suki ni nareta shi is used because Ayaya is trying to make sense of why the relationship had to end and she is sort of listing off things she thought she did right, or that went right.
