SKE48 - Koi wo Kataru Shijin ni Narenakute

Yeah, can you tell I'm on kind of an SKE kick? =X

Anyway, this is the first song from SKE48's 3rd stage, "Seifuku no Me". One day I decided to sit and watch S3, because, despite having the album, I usually just skipped to "favorite" tracks and kind of ignored the others. Then I thought, "Gee, that's not really fair..." and less than a minute in, I'd already found a new favorite song, lol. Actually, I grew to like all of S3 after that, and would call it one of my favorite stages, so... I might just translate all of it, lol.

Anyway, enough of my rambling. m(_ _)m



While under an elm tree in the school yard
your lips are moving as you
flip through a book of Rilke's poems
What worries do you have
deep in your heart now
as the breeze blows by you?

From afar,
without you noticing,
I want to protect you
My gaze is
like the sun
which will keep you warm

I can't become a poet who talks about love...
Rather than using fancy words,
I just stay silent
I can't become a poet who talks about love...
My heart will just keep on beating
I hope it could be like a wildflower

You retied the ribbon
on your navy school uniform
and ran off while you smiled
What you found there surely
wasn't an answer, but rather
the road they call "youth"

You pass right
by me and I
smell the faint scent of soap
If I turn around
I'll see the sunlight
on your back

I feel like it might disappear if I talk about it...
There are things that are more
important than telling someone
I feel like it might disappear if I talk about it...
This bittersweet feeling will stay a bittersweet feeling
I hope it could be like a lovely flower

I can't become a poet who talks about love...
Rather than using fancy words,
I just stay silent
I can't become a poet who talks about love...
My heart will just keep on beating
I hope it could be like a wildflower
