[translation] LANDS - Hatachi no Sensou

[acchikocchi]

I heard the LANDS album with winterspel today and this is the one that hooked me.

LANDS feat. Akanishi Jin - Hatachi no sensou


War, Age 20

A video game war is dancing along on the other side of the earth
Not even the missiles reach us
Still less do the voices of sadness
They have nothing to do with us
'Cause we can't even understand the reason for them

Everyone in this town just moves around however they like

Because that sorrow
And that anguish
And that pain
Doesn't reach us -
It doesn't reach us
Because that sorrow
And that agony
And that pain
We don't understand -
We don't understand it

Tall buildings reflect in the windows
They're growing huge and defenseless
High above the web of the city
I live in the corner of a small room

And I'm straining to hear your heartbeat

Because that sorrow
And that anguish
And that pain
We can't hear -
We can't hear it
That sorrow
And that anguish
And that pain
We don't feel -
We don't feel it

I'm straining to hear your heartbeat

Because that sorrow
And that anguish
And that pain
We can't hear -
We can't hear it
Because that sorrow
And that anguish
And that pain
We don't feel -
We don't feel it
Because that sorrow
And that anguish
And that pain
We can't understand -
We can't understand it



二十歳の戦争

テレビゲームの戦争が
地球の裏側でダンスしてる
ミサイルさえ届かないよ
まして悲しみの声は届かない
ルルラララ　ルルラララ
僕たちには何も関係ない
ルルラララ　ルルラララ
だってそうな理由も分からないよ

みんな　この街で 勝手に動くだけ

その悲しみも　苦しみも　その痛みも　
届かない　届かないから
その悲しみも　苦しみも　その痛みも　
わからない　わからないから

高いビルが窓に映る
無防備に巨大になってゆくよ
この街の網の目の上の
小さな部屋の片隅で生きて

君の行動　鼓動に　耳をすましている

その悲しみも　苦しみも　その痛みも　
聴こえない　聴こえないから
その悲しみも　苦しみも　その痛みも　
感じない　感じないんだよ

君の行動　鼓動に　
耳をすましている

その悲しみも　苦しみも　その痛みも　
聴こえない　聴こえないから
その悲しみも　苦しみも　その痛みも　
感じない　感じないから
その悲しみも　苦しみも　その痛みも　
わからない　わからないから



terebi geemu no sensou ga
chikyuu no uragawa de dansu shiteru
misairu sae todokanai yo
mashite kanashimi no koe wa todokanai
ru ru ra ra ra ru ru ra ra ra
bokutachi ni wa nani mo kankei nai
ru ru ra ra ra ru ru ra ra ra
datte souna riyuu mo wakaranai yo

minna kono machi de katte ni ugoku dake

sono kanashimi mo  kurushimi mo  sono itami mo
todokanai   todokanai kara
sono kanashimi mo  kurushimi mo  sono itami mo
wakaranai   wakaranai kara

takai biru ga mado ni utsuru
muboubi ni kyodai ni natteyuku yo
kono machi no ami no me no ue no
chiisana heye no katasumi de ikite

kimi no kodou ni mimi wo sumashiteru

sono kanashimi mo  kurushimi mo  sono itami mo
kikoenai   kikoenai kara
sono kanashimi mo  kurushimi mo  sono itami mo
kanjinai   kanjinaindayo

kimi no kodou ni mimi wo sumashiteru

sono kanashimi mo  kurushimi mo  sono itami mo
kikoenai   kikoenai kara
sono kanashimi mo  kurushimi mo  sono itami mo
kanjinai   kanjinai kara
sono kanashimi mo  kurushimi mo  sono itami mo
wakaranai   wakaranai kara

lzskj;faj *__* Thank you for the translation. It's strangely nice to hear Jin sing a song that has lyrics that don't seem to be pieced together randomly with English words thrown in for fun. ♥

[acchikocchi.livejournal.com]

A totally belated you're welcome! Yeah, this is definitely for the "Care" and "Murasaki"-loving set. ;)

[pithetaphish]

I ♥ this song so much and he sings it so plaintively well!

*waiting (im)patiently for the CD to arrive and clinging to her radio rips*

[acchikocchi.livejournal.com]

(totally late reply here)

Yes, yes, yes, Jin's delivery adds so much! Especially on todokanai / kikoenai / wakaranai / etc.

oh my *__* that's gorgeous, thank you so much for translating <333

[acchikocchi.livejournal.com]

You're very welcome! <3

[changetje.livejournal.com]

klsadksa;da *____* OMG those lyrics are so beautiful. This is my favourite song of the album next to BANDAGE. Thanks for translating ♥

[acchikocchi.livejournal.com]

No problem! ♥ I've almost the same - this one's the top favorite, then BANDAGE. But BANDAGE sure is a great song. :)

Ok, so I still love Kodou more than Hatachi no Sensou, but the lyrics to Hatachi no Sensou are absolutely exquisite.

[acchikocchi.livejournal.com]

Aren't they something. *_* (Kodou's up next, for the record. XD)

I'm with Raz on this: it's wonderful to hear Jin sing a song that has lyrics that are not just words thrown in for fun. This is so ♥
thanks for translating and sharing.

[acchikocchi.livejournal.com]

You're very welcome! :D

[acchikocchi.livejournal.com]

ISN'T IT. T_____T Jin's plaintive voice on the chorus! T_T

[matchynishi.livejournal.com]

*CRIES*

[akamaru07.livejournal.com]

I haven't had the chance to listen to the song yet T_____T I'm hoping soon!

Thanks for the trans! <3

[acchikocchi.livejournal.com]

No problem! Maybe by now you've got a chance to listen to it - hope you enjoy it when you do listen if you still haven't! ;D

[pixisticks.livejournal.com]

*tugs on sleeve* Can I repost this with the roomaji? I wanna share and I know your translation is better than anything I could do. xD ♥

[acchikocchi.livejournal.com]

Would you mind waiting a couple days? :) I want to see booklet scans to make sure I haven't messed up any homonyms. (Namely, kodou.)

[pixisticks.livejournal.com]

Okie doke~ ♥ That's the reason I haven't tried to translate any of them in the first place. xD *has terrible hearing* ♥

[fingeredheart.livejournal.com]

Was kindly directed here by misao_duo after I asked for some kind of translation of this song, so I just wanted to leave a note of gratitude. This is my favorite song on the album and now knowing what it means adds so much more *___* thank you! ♥

[acchikocchi.livejournal.com]

Oh, you're very welcome! It's my favorite, too. :)

[telopathique.livejournal.com]
