IKU, ROBE
I’m not really satisfied or confident in this translation. Several parts of the lyrics seem to play on how 虫 (mushi, “bug”) can be used as a suffix to describe bad (emotional) habits and the people who exhibit them, and I don’t think I got it across very effectively. Plus, it was just kind of hard for me to understand.
Rush
words: IKU
music & arrangement: mo2
The pool in summer is too cold.
“Maybe my heart will stop!”
So timidly, I put my hands over my heart.
Once I let go with both of my hands, I’m sure…
No matter what it is, I’m always
Afraid of “something.”
Break into a run! You’re about to be buried.
No hesitation remains in the legs that kicked it away.
I jumped out by a head
Before the crybaby and weakling in me could show their faces.
The night I rolled down the hill
And scraped my knees,
I pressed down tightly on my wounds.
Once I let go with both of my hands, I’m sure…
No matter what happens, I’m always
Enduring “something.”
Find it, even if you have to fumble your way along,
Because there’s not enough time for hesitation and shame.
Eject it out! I’m biting in
Before the bugs of sour faces and shudders stick out their tongues.
There must be more hidden power here.
No matter what it is, I’m always
Seeking “something.”
I begin to move. Whether this world is
Narrow or wide, I can go anywhere!!
Break into a run! You’re about to be buried.
No hesitation remains in the legs that kicked it away.
Expose all of your feelings,
Before the cowardice that gets in the way shows its face.
Papararirura~ Rururi~ruraruru~

疾走感
words:IKU
music & arrangement:mo2
夏のプール 冷たすぎて
心臓止まるかも!!って
おそるおそる 胸にあててた
両手離してみたら きっと
なんだって わたしは いつだって
“何か” を怖れて
走り出せ 埋もれそうだ
蹴り上げたその脚に 迷いなど もうないから
飛び出した 頭ひとつ
泣き虫も弱虫も 顔をだすその前に
坂道から 転げ落ちて
膝を擦りむいた夜
お風呂でギュウッと 傷押さえてた
両手離してみたら きっと
どうしたって わたしは いつだって
“何か” を堪えて
探し出せ 手さぐりでも
ためらってうつむいている暇は もうないから
放り出せ かみつぶしてる
苦虫や癪の虫 舌を出すその前に
キットモットヒメラレタチカラガアルカラ
なんだって わたしは いつだって
“何か” を求めて
動き出す この世界が
狭くても広くても どこへでも行けるから!!
走り出せ 埋もれそうだ
蹴り上げたその脚に 迷いなど もうないから
さらけ出せ 気持ち全部
臆病虫はお邪魔虫 顔を出すその前に
パパラリルラ ルルリールラルル
パパラリルラ ルルリールルルラ
