inui/yanagi! : yanagi lyrics - "answer"

[cimorene]

i've been desperately craving inui/yanagi lately. (it's very sad when you're desperate for a rather unpopular pairing, isn't it?) so i asked kyuuketsukirui to translate the lyrics to yanagi's recently-released single, "answer", and she did. o.O translating tenipuri lyrics is sort of a gamble that they will turn out to be gay - they often do, but they're not usually this gay. they surpassed my wildest expectations!


yanagi renji - answer
translated by kyuuketsukirui; kanji & romaji from crosswithyou.net

You can hear my heartbeat, can't you?
You can feel this love, can't you?
I can't shake off these old memories
Still twined around my heart

Those words, those gestures torment me

I don't want to break anything
Even if it means lying to myself
Is it cowardly
That I can't answer?
Please tell me

Though I pull you close, in my arms
I won't entrust you with my heart
What do people fear?
What do they pray for as they sleep?

What can I wish for that will save me now?

Though I try talking of love
There's nothing that's certain
Is it cowardly
That I can't answer?
Please tell me

I don't care if it's fate
I just want to stay like this
Is it cowardly
That I can't answer?
Please tell me

Holy crap, that's gayer than the TakaFuji vacation gayfest!

Go, Renji!

!!

this is so SO awesome. ;____;

thank you for sharing... i liked it even more than their incredibly gay duet in inui's album! XDDDD

This only feeds my desire to make Renji an addict to the karaoke circuit. XDDD

You can hear my heartbeat, can't you?

:(((( I have this doujinshi where they are wee and practice-kissing (for science! XD) and Renji says something about how his heart rate's gone up, and Inui touches his chest and says that yes, he can feel it, and thinks that he's gotten excited, too. And I want to think this line is Renji saying this even when he's at Rikkai and Inui's at Seigaku and they're miles apart.

I can't shake off these old memories
Still twined around my heart

I don't know why this part is so comforting but it is. I always get so worried that Inui's beating the dead horse with his counting the days and taking such extensive data, but it's like Renji's always there with him every step of the way, feeling exactly the same. :((

What can I wish for that will save me now?

*pets* so melodramatic. He'd been reading too many grandiose novels. XD

But hmm, these lyrics are kind of perplexing. I wonder how much of this is meant to reflect the past and how much of it is set in the present. Because there are things like this: Those words, those gestures torment me that make me think... is this ten year old Renji who knows he's moving and wishes he could explain? Is this Renji at Kantou who is all conflicted by how familiar they are? Is he jealous of how Inui is with Kaidoh? :\

I don't care if it's fate
I just want to stay like this

:((((((((((((( gah. Thank you so much for getting this song translated. I'd tried to pick out words on my own and knew there was angst happening, but lsfjdlfjas *looks up at comments* I really hope this isn't about Kirihara. :| No, I don't think it is. :|

ps. am sorry for spamming so much. I am chatty when it comes to this boy.

Oh, Renji. *sobs*

[reposoir.livejournal.com]

I'm going against the grain and reading those lyrics with a YanaKiri mindset.

Hee! ;D ;D ;D

Also, you have Kajimoto's single, right? Because I downloaded it ages ago and forgot to unzip it, and then nearly had a heart attack when I found it this evening. :| Not sure how my head manages to stay on, really.
