Poppin’Party – Initial

Initial　ホンキの自分譲れなくて
衝動　指先から Emotion！

Initial     honki no jibun yuzurenakute
Initial     I couldn’t give my serious self up
shoudou yubisaki kara Emotion!
An impulse from my fingertips Emotion!

あの日わたしは　少女でも大人でもなく
混じりけのない眼差しで　夢だけ見てた

ano hi watashi wa shoujo demo otona demo naku
On that day, I was but a girl and not yet an adult
majirike no nai manazashi de yume dake miteta
With an unstained gaze, I only looked at my dreams

めらめらゆらゆらり　燃え滾[たぎ]る夜
勇気を噛み締めて　冒険[たび]に出たんだ

meramera yurayurari moetagiru yoru
burning, fluttering, a night seething in flames.
yuuki wo kamishimete tabi ni detan da
I bite down on my courage and went on an adventure

Initial　初めて湧き上がったものは
震え　体中から Emotion

Initial    hajimete wakiagatta mono wa
Initial    The first thing that surfaced was
furue     karadajuu kara Emotion
Tremble   An emotion from inside me

何故に　果てなき夜空に向かって
何度も同じ言葉を　叫び続けるのか？

naze ni hate naki yozora ni mukatte
Why do you face an endless sky
nando mo onaji kotoba wo sakebi tsuzukeru no ka?
Will you continue shouting those same words?

ときに曖昧で見失う
戸惑いがちな自分でも
“手にしたもの”は　今でもここに

toki ni aimai de miushinau
Sometimes, It’s vague and you lose sight of it
tomadoi gachi na jibun demo
Even the puzzled but serious you 
“te ni shita mono” wa ima demo koko ni
“The things you got” are still right here

イニシャルのその先へ
星の鼓動　感じて
(キミは)強く掻き鳴らしている
(今も)心震わせて
ア・イ・シ・テ・イ・ル！

inisharu no sono saki e
Beyond the initial
hoshi no kodou kanjite
Feel the beat of the stars

そしてわたしは　初めての挫折に堕ちて
星ひとつない暗闇に　立ち竦んでた

soshite watashi wa hajimete no zasetsu ni ochite
I fell down when I failed for the first time
hoshi hitotsu nai kurayami ni tachisukundeta
I stood frozen in a starless darkness

ふらふらくらくらり　倒れた身体[からだ]
それでも立ち上がり　夜空を指した

furafura kurakurari taoreta karada
wobbly, dizzy, collapsing body
soredemo tachiagari yozora wo sashita
even so, I stood up and pointed at the night sky

Initial　今でもキミ探している

Initial    ima demo kimi sagashiteiru
Initial    Even now, I’m searching for you

触れる　くちびるから Emotion

fureru   kuchibiru kara Emotion
Touch    From my lips Emotion

何故に　幾多の星屑の中で
それが一番キレイに輝いていたのか？

naze ni ikuta no hoshikuzu no naka de
Why is it that inside the countless stardust,
sore ga ichiban kirei ni kagayaiteita no ka?
Why does it shine the most beautifully and brightly?

こんな密やかで　淑やかな
一人ぼっちの夜だけど
キミがいるなら　それだけでいい

konna hisoyaka de shitoyaka na
On a night this still and quiet
hitoribocchi no yoru dakedo
It’s a night when I’m alone but
kimi ga iru nara sore dake de ii
If you were here, that’s all I would need.

衝動のその先へ
星の鼓動　その身に
(早く)夢の続きを見させて
(今も)身体熱いまま
サ・ガ・シ・テ・イ・ル！

shoudou no sono saki e
Beyond the impulse
hoshi no kodou sono mi ni
The beat of the stars is inside you

涙がひとつ　落ちて……

まるで不確かで頼りなく
拠り所のない自分に
「キミはキミだ」と　教えてくれた

Almost as if silent and unreliable is
yoridokoro no nai jibun ni
the me with no one to lean on
“kimi wa kimi da” to oshiete kureta
“You are you” is what I was taught

(今も)心震わせて

混じりけのない眼差しで　夢だけ見てた

On that day, I was but a girl and not yet an adult
majirike no nai manazashi de yume dake miteta
With an unstained gaze, I only looked at my dreams
