Radwimps - ふたりごと (Futarigoto) [English Subs]

This is one of my favorite Radwimps songs and my first completed attempt at translating and subbing one of their videos.

First, a note on the title:
I gave this the English title "Soliloquy for Two" because the title "Futarigoto" is a play on the Japanese word for soliloquy or monologue, "hitorigoto". "Futari" means two or a couple, so using it instead of hitori, which means one, adds one more person to the soliloquy, making it a "Soliloquy for Two" ^.^

Here's my translation, written out by popular demand :D


Soliloquy for Two


What should I say to you now? How should I get this feeling across?
It might take a while, but, hey, I'll give it my best shot.
Even God must have been surprised 'cause there just isn't any other person quite like you.
Must have been about the biggest genetic mutation of this century that made you so beautiful.

Yet, the mommy and daddy of that beautiful you, who were so close their souls seemed stuck together,
Are blaming something as insignificant as time for making their one heart into two.

Before you knew it, they wouldn't meet each other's eyes, would never hear "Honey, I'm home" again.
And when those two turn their gazes to you instead, with tear-clouded eyes you whisper:

"My life is proof of your love for each other. There's no lie in that.
Isn't that right? Say that's right!"

"If you're telling me that your love for each other is gone, then my entire life becomes a lie....
Don't make Time into a liar!"

The light that ties the day those two exchanged promises to now is you.
But even so, they each receive half of the tears that run down your cheeks as you look at them while your trembling voice murmurs "Dad, Mom."

You were born into this world -- they say they can't believe in miracles.
You and I happened on each other -- they say they can't believe in miracles.

Though we got our piercings in the same place, yours is the only one I see shining so brilliantly brightly.
Will I sparkle like that someday too? Will I let myself love the world like you do?

No matter if my heart should wither away or if I should draw my last breath at an ugly, rotten end,
I want to see the world you were seeing, even if it's just for that final instant.

'Cause we already decided it - even when you and I turn 50, we'll still sleep in the same bed.
If we just keep holding hands, it'll tie our veins together and make it so our whole lives we'll never be separated.

Let's dream these dreams forever. Let's just decide once and for all that it's fine if we never wake up.
Since people say that "It's only after you wake up that you call it a dream, right?", then let's give it some other name.

When 'you' is written, read it "LO", and when 'me' is written, let's read it "VE".
If we do that, it looks like you and me will never be apart, right? Someday, I'm gonna write a song like that!

People try to call you and I happening on each other a miracle, but With everything that happens on this miracle-born star, anything other than a miracle would be impossible, right?

Even if you keep on insisting
That according to that Chinese Six Star Astrology or to some apocalytic prophecies
I'm a tree-type person from Jupiter and you're a fire-type from Mars or whatever,
I'm still just an Earthling!
Well, suppose I really was a Jovian, I mean, it's just a couple of planets over, right?
I'd just use that once in a lifetime warp to come here!

You and I happened on each other -- I want to believe in miracles. Whether you and I happening on each other is a miracle or whatever else, thank you all the same.

Because you say (because I say) it's a miracle (it's a miracle), it's so beautiful, it's so wonderful.


I hope you enjoy my work! Lemme know whatcha think! ^_^

Of course, the video and the song are copyright the Radwimps. The only thing I contributed is my translation of their awesome lyrics.

You and I happened on each other – I want to believe in miracles.

Whether you and I happening on each other is a miracle or whatever else, thank you all the same.

Because you say (because I say)

It’s a miracle (it’s a miracle),

It’s so beautiful, it’s so wonderful.

[furychan]

Even if you keep on insisting that according to that Chinese Six Star Astrology or to some apocalyptic prophecies

I'm a tree-type person from Jupiter and you’re a fire-type from Mars or whatever,

I'm still just an Earthling! [LOL]

Well, suppose I really was a Jovian, I mean, it’s just a couple of planets over, right?

I’d just use that once in a lifetime warp to come here!
