WANIMA - Trace (English translation)


Hi! I'm 27女王 (27joou) and I welcome you to my blog that's mainly gonna be a place to store and share my translations of Japanese songs in English for songs that I haven't been able to find other translations on the internet for.
I'm currently nowhere near fluent in Japanese so if any of my translations have some mistakes I'd love to be notified so that I can learn from my mistakes and become better at translating lyrics.
I'm gonna be doing these translations mainly for fun and as Japanese practice and I've never really done any proper translating so if any of my translations are awkward I apologize and would love for you guys to suggest how to improve them. That's it for today, thanks! 





TRACE

Lyricist:KENTA
Composer:KENTA

The scars I don't tell anyone about keep on increasing
The days that wear down repeat themselves
Without being able to shake it off, I kept holding it in being scared
I only have to bear this pain until I become used to it

Always anticipating will make you tired of waiting 
but even then you just kept on waiting
(but) never at anytime forget
only a bit more...
Even about a line you've gotten used to already

If only you exist ( only with that )
At any time that voice I remember
However many times it keeps on repeating
The voice that keeps shouting out ( if it should reach)
Don't cry, wipe your tears and with a smile
we'll meet again like back then

The light of the morning is too bright
The darkness of the night is too dark
as long as time passes and seasons change
leave everything behind and continue until you get used to these times

One day
I see mundane dreams as if turning back to how things used to be
(but) people say "Open your eyes"
only a bit more...
Even if no one wants to recognize you

What I received from you (those words)
You always pushed me forward so
Somehow I got this far after struggling
I felt like you were next to me (always) 
I looked up to the sky so that we'd meet once more
I wished
I walked off 
by myself

Even from now on I'll keep picturing how
meetings, partings, happiness and grief will always continue
repeating sadness waits on the other side
I speak to you
Without forgetting the recollected memories return
but....

If only you exist....
if that's the case, now the lies of that day as well 
will be allowed to pass over that night
The voice that keeps shouting out ( if it should reach)
I looked up to the sky so that we'd meet once more
I wished.
I walked off
by myself

If only you exist ( only with that )
At any time that voice I remember
However many times it keeps on returning
The voice that keeps shouting out ( if it should reach)
Don't cry, wipe your tears and with a smile
we'll meet again like back then

TRACE (romaji)

Darenimo iezu kizu wa fuete
kurikaeshi suriherasu hibi
furikirezuni kakaeta mama obiete
kotaeru dake kono itami ni nareru made

itsumo kitaishite wa machikutabire
soredemo mada machitsudzuketa
(demo) donna toki mo wasurenaide
ato sukoshi...
kiki nareta SERIFU da toshitemo

anata ga ireba (sore dake de)
itsudatte omoidasu koe
nando furikaette mite mo
yobitsuzukeru koe ga (todoitara)
nakanaide namida fuki emi de
mata aetara ano koro no mama

Asa no hikari ga mabushisugite
yoru no kurayami ga kurasugite
sugiru jikan mo kawaru kisetsu ni sae
oite ikare kono jidai ni nareru made

darenimo mitomerarenakute mo
