Though there's an empty space, there's a flower that blossomes only in this place.

Now that I listened carefully to your laughing voice that came from far-off distance, that's what sound of the waves was.

If you weren't able to dissemble loneliness, you have only to go off by yourself.
I think if I weren't able to dissemble loneliness, I have only to go off by myself.

akemodoro: it means "The Red light of the sun in the morning colors the sky" in Ryukyuan ancient word.

[Hiroshi]

Their lyrics are hard to understand even written in Japan.
especially, in terms of they prefer to use "ancient word of Okinawa" a.k.a. "Ryukyuan ancient word".

#1 of the hard part of translation.
"“¯‚¶”‚̏o‰ï‚¢‚Æ•Ê‚ê ‚Å‚àŠ„‚èØ‚ê‚È‚­‚Ä"
[onaji kazuno deai to wakare demo warikirenakute]

I translated that phrase like "There're as much farewells as encounters but, I can't be dissatisfied with it.
but, I think I can also translated like "Even though the number is added by each same number of times about farewells and encounters, it cant be divided by 2.

The number that is added by each same number is sure to become multiples of 2.
i.e. the number has to be divided by 2.
in this case, the number that is multiples of 2 can never be devided by 2.
so, that phrase reminds me of this lyricist had mixed feelings about the place...
i.e. significant others for him.

#2 of the hard part of translation.
"‚±‚±‚É‚µ‚©ç‚©‚È‚¢‰Ô[kokoni shika sakanai hana]"
"‚±‚±‚Å‚µ‚©ç‚©‚È‚¢‰Ô[kokode shika sakanai hana]"

first phrase reminds me of "perfect natural thing".
so, that's why I translated like "The flower that blossomes only in this place" and,
as for second phrase, I think there's kind of the will of the flower in the sentence.
so, that's why I translated like "The flower that will never blossom except this place".

hmmm..... hella difficult >__<
