Supercar Lyrics

「Alright」 by Supercar

  Album: Drive

Combined

JPかけひきだとかため息だとか
kakehikida toka tameiki da toka
ENIt's something akin to bargaining or sighing,

JP言葉の奥の言葉は知らないよ。
kotoba no oku no kotoba wa shiranai yo.
ENNot knowing the true meaning behind these words.


JPつまづく前にうなずくだけじゃ、
tsumazuku mae ni unazuku dake ja,
ENJust by bowing my head before I stumble,

JPこの世の波は超えれやしないよ。
kono yo no nami wa koere ya shinai yo.
ENI won't cross over the waves of this world.


JP言いわけなんかじゃない、
iiwake nanka ja nai,
ENIt isn't an excuse,

JPこれが19で覚えたジョークなんだ。
kore ga jyuu kyuu de oboeta JOOKU nanda.
ENThis is a joke I remembered at 19.


JP退屈なのがマイナスなのか
taikutsu na no ga MAINASU na no ka
ENDo the tedious things detract from the experience?

JPあの世も何も変わりはしないよ。
ano yo mo nanimo kawari wa shinai yo.
ENNone of that will change even in the afterlife.


JPわりきれそうにもない、これじゃ…
warikire sou ni mo nai, kore ja....
ENIt doesn't seem to have a clear explanation, with this...

JPあきらめなんかじゃない、
akirame nanka ja nai,
ENI haven't given up,

JPこれが19で覚えたジョークなんだ。
kore ga 19 de oboeta JOOKU nan da.
ENThis is a joke I remembered at 19.

Kanji

かけひきだとかため息だとか
言葉の奥の言葉は知らないよ。

つまづく前にうなずくだけじゃ、
この世の波は超えれやしないよ。

言いわけなんかじゃない、
これが19で覚えたジョークなんだ。

退屈なのがマイナスなのか
あの世も何も変わりはしないよ。

わりきれそうにもない、これじゃ…
あきらめなんかじゃない、
これが19で覚えたジョークなんだ。

Romaji

kakehikida toka tameiki da toka
kotoba no oku no kotoba wa shiranai yo.

tsumazuku mae ni unazuku dake ja,
kono yo no nami wa koere ya shinai yo.

iiwake nanka ja nai,
kore ga jyuu kyuu de oboeta JOOKU nanda.

taikutsu na no ga MAINASU na no ka
ano yo mo nanimo kawari wa shinai yo.

warikire sou ni mo nai, kore ja....
akirame nanka ja nai,
kore ga 19 de oboeta JOOKU nan da.

English

It's something akin to bargaining or sighing,
Not knowing the true meaning behind these words.

Just by bowing my head before I stumble,
I won't cross over the waves of this world.

It isn't an excuse,
This is a joke I remembered at 19.

Do the tedious things detract from the experience?
None of that will change even in the afterlife.

It doesn't seem to have a clear explanation, with this...
I haven't given up,
This is a joke I remembered at 19.
