Color me live... Lyrics (EN, JP) 歌詞 (英訳、和訳)

Snow Manの阿部亮平、宮館涼太、佐久間大介のユニット曲、「Color me live...」の歌詞を英訳と和訳をさせていただきました。メイキングで阿部くんが「歌詞の細部まで最後まで3人でこだわった」っと語って、辞書などで漢字の意味の違いを調べてみなければいけないの歌詞です。説明も英訳も間違いがあるかもしれませんのでご了承ください。🙇‍♀️

English & Japanese translations for Abe-kun, Miya-chan & Sakuma's unit song, "Color me live..." In the making, Abe-kun said, "The 3 of us were particular/picky about every detail of the lyrics until the end", so I looked up kanji meaning differences in Japanese dictionaries & such. There may be errors in the explanation & translation so thank you for your understanding. 🙇‍♀️

Color me live...

Lyrics: Funk Uchino
Composers: Geek Boy Al Swetternham/HIKARI
Arrangement: Geek Boy Al Swetternham

Wow wow　Color me live...

誰の声も　届かない　Deep self, here is so deep (Hey)
何も視(み)えない　聴こえない　Ain't nothing, here is nothing

深い海の底へと　堕ちてくような日々に　吞み込まれて　I can't breathe
「逃げたい、そっと」　「出来ない、ずっと」
光のない　物語(ストーリー)　But, one day...

I found...
Color me live　Color me bright
生まれたての Heart Beats　"希望"へと繋ぐ　音色(おと)
消えそうな　勇気を　照らしてく　今

世界に　忘れられたような　Tiny sounds, tiny signs (Hey)　
無限に　ループするような　Waviness　It's me　やっと、気付いてしまうよ

鮮明すぎる　蒼に舞う　呼吸の粒　美しく　儚く　I can see
「感じたい、もっと」　「欲しいよ、もっと」
光　射してゆく　Feelings...

I found...
Color me live　Color me bright
ありのままの My world　"自由"を知った　鼓動
新たな　旋律(リズム)を　刻んでく

初めて　映した色に　初めて　夢見た明日に
心と身体はもう　捉えようのない　好奇心へ　誘われ　飛び込む　New wave

そう、モノクロだった　未来までも　さぁ、もう一度

Color me live　Color me bright
生まれたての Heart Beats　"希望"へと繋ぐ　音色(おと)

いまなら...　愛せる　あの日の　自分(ぼく)も

Color me live　胸躍る　ヒカリへと
Color me bright　想うがまま　泳ごう
Color me live　Yeah　僕だけの　"Color"で

=====

Color me live... [和訳] (間違いがあるかもしれません)

Wow wow　Color me live... (生で僕に色をつけて)

→文法的に、たぶん「Color me with life (命で僕を色つけて)」の意味と思います

誰の声も　届かない　深い自分　ここがとても深い (Hey)
何も視(み)えない　聴こえない　なんもない、ここに何もない

深い海の底へと　堕ちてくような日々に　吞み込まれて　息ができない
「逃げたい、そっと」　「出来ない、ずっと」
光のない　物語(ストーリー)　でも、いつか...

僕は（〇〇を）見つかった...
Color me live　Color me bright （明るさで僕に色をつけて）

→文法的に「Color me brightly (僕に明るくて色をつけて)」の意味と思います

生まれたての鼓動　"希望"へと繋ぐ　音色(おと)

消えそうな　勇気を　照らしてく　今

世界に　忘れられたような　ちっちゃい音、ちっちゃい合図 (Hey)

無限にループするようなうねり　僕だよ　やっと、気付いてしまうよ

鮮明すぎる　蒼に舞う 　呼吸の粒　美しく　儚く　視える 
「感じたい、もっと」　「欲しいよ、もっと」
光　射してゆく　感情...

I found... 

Color me live　Color me bright

ありのままの僕の世界 "自由"を知った鼓動 

新たな 旋律（リズム）を 刻んでく

初めて　映した色に　初めて　夢見た明日に
心と身体はもう捉えようのない好奇心へ　誘われ　飛び込む　新波

そう、モノクロだった 未来までも さぁ、もう一度

Color me live　Color me bright

生まれたての鼓動 "希望"　へと繋ぐ 音色(おと) 

いまなら... 愛せる あの日の　自分（ぼく）も

Color me live　胸躍る ヒカリへと
Color me bright　想うがまま　泳ごう
Color me live　Yeah　僕だけの"色"で

Color me live... [English translation]

Wow wow　Color me live...

→The lyricist might mean "Color me with life"

No one's voice even reaches/gets through, Deep self, here is so deep (Hey)
I can't see anything, can't hear anything, Ain't nothing, here is nothing

→ 視 (sight, using your eyes to see, looking at sometimes straight on) is used instead of 見 (which refers to the general act of seeing something visually). Usually 視 is used in kanji compounds.

Toward the bottom of the deep sea, swallowed up by the days when I feel like I'm falling, I can't breathe

→ 堕ちる is used to indicate something very heavy is falling down, and it's something that shouldn't fall down. This is opposed to using 落ちる which is the mostly commonly used kanji for falling/dropping.
→ 呑み is used to indicate drinking/swallowing something whole, that isn't normally swallowed whole (like solids). This is opposed to using 飲む which is usually used for drinking.

"I want to run away, softly/quietly"　"I can't do it, forever"
A tale/story without light, But, one day...

I found...
Color me live　Color me bright

→ Color me with life(?)　Color me brightly(?)

Newborn/newly born Heart Beats, sound that connects/leads toward "hope"

→ 音色 (neiro) means 'tone' or 'color' (of music) but the reading chosen is 音 (oto) which means ‘sound’

Shine the courage that seems like it will disappear Now

Similar to tiny sounds, tiny signs forgotten by the world (Hey)
Waviness like an infinite loop　It's me　Finally, I ended up noticing/realizing

Too distinct/clear, dancing in the azure, grains/drops of breath, beautiful, ephemeral/transient, I can see
"I want to feel, more"　"I want it, more"
Shining the light, Feelings...

→ 射す is used to mean 'a light shining directly in'. The kanji 射 is in reference to shooting (in archery)

I found...
Color me live　Color me bright
My world as it is, the heartbeat/pulsation that knew "freedom"
Go engrave/carve out a new rhythm

→ 旋律 (senritsu) means 'melody' or 'tune' but the reading chosen is リズム (rhythm)

The first time in the casted/reflected color　The first time to the tomorrow I dreamed of
Already the mind & body [go] toward the elusive/unable to grasp curiosity/inquisitiveness　Invited/called by, plunge into New wave

That's right, [I] was monochrome, up to the future, now, once more/again
 

Color me live　Color me bright
Newborn/newly born Heart Beats, sound that connects/leads toward "hope"
If it's now... can love the me on that day as well

→ 自分 (jibun) means 'oneself' but the reading chosen is ぼく(僕, boku) which is one way that men say 'I' or 'me'

Color me live　My heart is leaping/dancing toward the light
Color me bright　Let me swim to my heart's content/as I like

→ 想う refers to 'thinking/looking' at something with the heart instead of 思う (which refers to thinking with the mind and feeling with the heart)

Color me live　Yeah　With "Color" only for me
