Smells Like Virgin Spirit – SuG

lyrics: 武瑠 (Takeru)|| music: SuG
mini-album: VIRGIN (2016)

English Translation

Smells Like Virgin Spirit (reference to Smells Like Teen Spirit)

I want to like only likeable things;
I want that hateful things stay hateful.

I look away, for fear of being stained;
I hate difficult things, it’s absolutely true.

Even if I rave and put on airs,
there will not be something like an answer yet,
so I will look for it myself.

I don’t know which way is the right one,
that’s why, whenever I find it, I keep getting lost.

Ah, I just want to throw away everything,
I’m sick of it; wouldn’t it be better?

The moment when I came across you (1)
for the first time,
I understood the reason I was born.

This song ripped out my heart that
was creaking like it was going to break.

So that this feeling of spinning doesn’t fade away,
please, just like this, stop time.

(1) Takeru sings “kimi”(you), but in the kanji lyrics it’s “音楽(きみ) – ongaku(kimi)”; ongaku means “music”, so Takeru is clearly talking about music when he says “you”.

Smells Like Virgin Spirit

Suki na koto shika suki ni nari takunai
kirai na mono wa kirai na mama de itai

somatte yuku koto ga kowakute me o sorasu
muzukashii koto wa iya tada aru ga mama

era sou ni wameki-chirashite mo kotae nado nani mo nai kuse ni
sou boku wa boku nari ni mitsuketeku sa

umai yarikata nante shiranai kara
te ni ireru tabi ni mata nakushiteku

aa nani mo kamo zenbu sutetaku naru yo
mou unzari da nanoni saikou daro?

kimi ni hajimete deatta shunkan
boku wa umareta imi o shitta nda

koware sou ni kishimu kokoro kakimushitte unda uta ni
tsumuida omoi ga usurenu you douka kono mama toki o tomete

Smell Like Virgin Spirit

とが怖くて目を逸らす
難しいことは厭　ただあるがまま

偉そうに喚き散らしても　答えなど何もない癖に
そう　ぼくはぼくなりに見つけてくさ

上手いやり方なんて知らないから
手に入れる度にまた　失くしてく

あぁ　なにもかも　全部捨てたくなるよ
もう　うんざりだ　なのに最高だろ？

音楽(きみ)に初めて出会った瞬間
ぼくは産まれた意味を知ったんだ

壊れそうに軋む心　掻きむしって産んだ唄に
紡いだ想いが薄れぬよう　どうか　このまま　時を止めて
