So, I've been rewriting the lyrics into English for my boyfriend, using a translation that I found that didn't go with the song musically at all! For those who don't know, Asian Kung Fu Generation is a Japanese band that makes really cute songs, and they had this song in Full Metal Alchemist as the opening :3 (here's the short version that was on the show!).
This is my translation that's supposed to go with the song:
Thinkin that I'll never just let go of these thoughts
Which serve just to show that I'd rather be than not.
The future planned out for me just isn't what I want -
And so I go inbetween these "yes"s and "no"s.
I want to erase those expectations left behind
'Cause I know that I'm heading to a let down of mine.
Reflections just feed the monster of a self-conscious mind,
In calendars days go by but there's still no way to know....
To say "Rewrite Today"
It's pointless - where do I go,
To revive what I used to know?
Just to say
"Rewrite Today!" -
That saying is a nice one to know
It makes you wanna finally
Get up and go
Gooooooo
Whoa-aoh!
And cutting out my aspirations quickly I knew
That mediocre crap is really all that I do
Is that all I've got to show
For all the time I've had to grow...?
To say "Rewrite Today"
It's pointless - where do I go,
To revive what I used to know?
Just to say
"Rewrite Today!" -
That saying is a nice one to know
It makes you wanna finally
Get up and go
Gooooooo
Whoa-aoh!
I tried to keep all the rhyme patterns as well as the syllable patterns throughout the song. ^^;
