Translation: Shifo – REAL

Ending song to one of my first really loved anime
Dual! Parallel Trouble Adventure (デュアル!ぱられルンルン物語)

Shifo – REAL

作曲&詞:Shifo
編曲:長岡成貢(原詞:黑田洋介)
piano:Shifo flute:黑田由樹

眺める空の下 それぞれの毎日が巡る
輝く星の下 それぞれの思いが街を照らしている
僕は退屈なのに 泣けてくるんだ
気がついてないね 僕がいつも思うこと
under the watchful sky, our everydays keep going on
under the shining stars, our thoughts light up the streets
even though i’m just bored, i shed tears
i didn’t notice, i’ve been thinking all along

聞こえているよ 届いているよ
僕の中の世界で
強がりだけど 素直になれず
いつも空回りする
でも大事なのは
「今 側にいる 君のReal」
i can hear you, i am reaching to you
through the world inside of me
it’s just a show of courage, i’m unable to be honest
my efforts always end up in vain
but what’s important is
“now i’m beside you, and your Real”

行き交う人々が 目の前を通り過ぎてく
ざわめく風の音が 聴き覚えのある声を 僕に運ぶ
こんな毎日なのに ただ詰めないんだ
気がついてないね 僕が君を思うこと……
the people who come and go, just pass by before my eyes
the sound of the rustling wind carries to me that voice i recognise
even on days like this, i’m just feeling a little unwell
i didn’t notice, i’ve been thinking of you……

分からないこと 聞いてみること
言葉にすると何故か
進みたいのに 進みたいのに
いつも空回りする
でも 答えは ただ
「今 側にいる 君がReal」
things i don’t understand, things i try to hear
i try to put them into words for some reason
i want to move on but, i want to move on but
my efforts always end up in vain
but the answer is only
“now i’m beside you. and you are Real”

聞こえてくるよ 届いてくるよ
僕の中の世界へ
会いたいことも 会えないことも
心には抱えてる
でも 大事なのは
「今 側にいる 君のReal」
i’m getting to hear you, i’m starting to reach you
towards the world inside of me
even as i want to meet, even if we cannot meet
i still carry it inside my heart
but what’s important is
“now i’m beside you, and your Real”

でも 大事なのは
「今 側にいる 君のReal」
but what’s important is
“now i’m beside you, and your Real”

    Dude, thanks for the full song translation, although I’m quite late to the party.

    This has been in my favourites playlist since I found it!
    Been looking for the full translation since like 1999 ;)
    Pity the song was stuck with an anime that was underrated, the first anime I bought and one of the ones that get me into animes.

    Thanks again.
