ROMAJI
Minareta machi, minareta hito
Subete ga saikin marude tooi kuni no dekigoto

Mou ichi do kanjitai ne, kurayami no naka de
kibou ga orinasu Azayaka na ongaku

Donna ni tsurai toki tte sae
Utau no wa naze? (Saane)
Rennai nante shitaku nai
Hanarete ku no wa naze? (Darling, Darling, ah)

Zenzen nani mo kikoenai
Sabaku no yoake ga mabuta ni utsuru
Zenzen namida koborenai
BLUE ni natte mita dake

Onna no ko ni umareta kedo
Watashi no ichiban niau no wa ko no iro

Mou nani mo kanjinai ze Sonna toshigoro ne
Doukeshi no aware Mawari dasu shoumei

Konna ni samui yoru ni sae
Utau no wa dare? (Dare?)
Genkouyoushi 5,6 mai
BLUE no inku no shirabe

Mou ichi do shinjitai ne Uramikko nashi de
Osokarehayakare hikari wa todoku ze

Donna ni tsurai toki tte sae
Ikiru no wa naze? (Saane)
Eikou nante hoshiku nai
Futsuu ga ichiban dane

Darling, Darling, ah... Questions make me blue
Darling, Darling, ah... Tell me something good

Mou ichi do kanjisasete waza yori no HAATO de

Donna ni nagai yoru tte sae
Akeru hazu yo ne (Saane)
Mou nan nenn mae no hanashi dai?
Torawareta mama dane (Darling Darling ah)

Zenzen nani mo kikoenai
Kohakuiro no nami ni fune ga ukabu
Gensou nante idakanai
Kasunde mienai e

Anta ni nani ga wakarundai?
Kamau no wa naze? (Saane)
Mou renai nante shitaku nai
Hanarete ku no wa naze? (Darling Darling ah)

Zenzen nani mo kikoenai
Sabaku no yoake ga mabuta ni utsuru
Zenzen namida koborenai
BLUE ni natte mita dake


KANJI
見慣れた街、見慣れた人
全てが最近まるで遠い国の出来事

もう一度感じたいね、暗闇の中で
希望が織り成す　鮮やかな音楽

どんなに辛い時ってさえ
歌うのはなぜ？（さぁね）
恋愛なんてしたくない
離れてくのはなぜ？(Darling, darling, ah)

全然何も聞こえない
砂漠の夜明けが瞼に映る
全然涙こぼれない
BLUEになってみただけ

女の子に生まれたけど
私の一番似合うのはこの色

もう何も感じないぜ　そんな年頃ね
道化師の哀れ　回り出す照明

こんなに寒い夜にさえ
歌うのは誰？（誰？）
原稿用紙５，６枚
BLUEのインクの調べ

もう一度信じたいね　恨みっこなしで
遅かれ早かれ光は届くぜ

どんなに辛い時ってさえ
生きるのはなぜ？（さぁね）
栄光なんて欲しくない
普通が一番だね

Darling, Darling, ah... Questions make me blue
Darling, Darling, ah... Tell me something good

もう一度感じさせて　技よりのハートで

どんなに長い夜ってさえ
明ける筈よね（さぁね）
もう何年前の話だい？
囚われたままだね　(Darling, darling, ah)

全然何も聞こえない
琥珀色の波に船が浮かぶ
幻想なんて抱かない
霞んで見えない　へ

あんたに何が分かるんだい？
構うのはなぜ？（さぁね）
もう恋愛なんてしたくない
離れてくのはなぜ？（Darling, darling, ah)

全然何も聞こえない
砂漠の夜明けが瞼に映る
全然涙こぼれない
BLUEになってみただけ



Grayzkule's Translation:
Streets I?m used to seeing, People I?m used to seeing
Recently all have seemed to become the events of a distant country

I want to feel it again, in the dark
My hopes weave the pattern of vivid music

No matter how painful the time
Why is it that I sing? (Who knows)
I don?t want to love anymore
Why am I growing distant? (darling darling ah)

I can?t hear anything
The desert dawn is cast on my eyelids
My tears don?t spill at all
I just tried turning BLUE

I was born of a woman, but
I go best with this color

I can?t feel anything anymore! It?s that age, isn?t it
The sadness of the clown The spinning lights

Even on nights this cold
Who is the one singing? (Who?)
Five or six sheets of manuscript paper
The tune of BLUE ink

I want to believe one more time, we will be even
Sooner or later the light will reach you!

No matter how painful the time
Why do I live? (Who knows)
I don?t want glory at all
Normality is the best

Darling, Darling, ah... Questions make me blue
Darling, Darling, ah... Tell me something good

Let me feel it one more time, with a heart from performance

No matter how long the night
Day should break, right? (Who knows)
This story is from how many years back?
You?re still caught up in it, huh (Darling darling, ah)

I can?t hear anything
A ship floats in amber waves
I don?t embrace fantasies
It?s fogged up and I can?t see

What can you understand?
Why do I care? (Who knows)
I don?t want to love anymore
Why am I growing distant? (Darling, darling, ah)

I can?t hear anything
The desert dawn is cast on my eyelids
My tears don?t spill at all
I just tried turning BLUE

I saw that. I was going to copy them, but then I saw another translation, so I wasn't sure who was right. So I'm going to wait aliite.

Yeah, translations can be iffy, but I usually just use them to confirm what I thought she was saying or clarify the nuances.

Oh... this lyrics are so sad... is Hikki depressed?? cuz lots of her recent lyrics are sad...

Well the lyrics fit with the title I guess. Maybe the reason for her sadder songs is because it could be her last album (shrugs). I do hope not though!

No, she frequently implies this will not be her last album. And a lot of her songs are infused with that weird sadness because shes all into that idea that you can find happiness in sadness etc. (kinda depressed me though)

Wow, those lyrics are deep. I wonder what she was thinking about when she wrote this. It's beautiful, yet saddening. See this is one of the reasons I admire Utada so much. She really knows how to get through with her music. I like the lyrics for Blue, now I hope I like the way it sounds.

Quote:

yea i agree wit u and u havent heard blue if u want i can put the link here

Yes, I feel the same way too. You could feel happiness in the sadness when listening to her song..

I just... enjoy the song, but yet depressed and enjoy the feeling of being depressed. haha. Weird I know I am.

omg its so sad i never knew it... but i still like it =)
