Dadaroma – トレンドアイデンティティ (Trend Identity) Translation

Kanji-Romaji

Translation

That’s just a toy that you are going forget anyway, right?

Trend mannequins standing on the storefronts

change clothes for the season with matching khaki colour,

new offers for cheap women identities every day

light green clothing for your empty blabbering.

The customers are and always will be right,

the cost performance matches the needs,

but what gets devalued it’s not merchandise but your souls.

Envelope in the version of individuality of this year

and scream*

“Yes yes yes yes”

That’s just a toy that you are going forget anyway, right?

“Yes yes yes yes”

That’s just tonight’s toy that you are going forget anyway, right?

“Yes yes yes yes”

Let’s line up in a queue for something with everyone!

Amazing! Amazing! So amazing!

Let’s eat something good like everyone!

I could cry! I could cry! I could cry!

If you lose interest in it you throw it away, right? First you make fun of my appearance

as if you knew everything about me, then you set your cheap prices, right?

As soon as tomorrow come we’ll be there, right? You fall for some cheap thrills**

then say “I love you” and the next you are already over it, right?

That’s just your way to relieve stress for the night, right?

That’s just a toy that you are going forget anyway, right?

“Yes yes yes yes”

That’s just tonight’s toy that you are going forget anyway, right?

“Yes yes yes yes”

Cut it out, morons.

Notes and Other

*=These two lines are a mess because they use a structure that is almost impossible to translate and adds the meaning of “doing the action to achieve something in the future”. This structure is pronounced as “oke” which, I think, is also a way to mock all the “trend people” of the song who always say “okay, okay” in their engurish making it sound like “oke”. Just speculations though.

**=I tried not to translate too literally here, because I think he’s referring to the not so unusual habits of men to going in brothels and having sex with prostitutes. Yes, it’s more common than you’d think.

A rant song against all the people who follow trends to find their personality and ending with being just like everybody else. I think the song speaks already for itself in this sense.

If you liked the article you might consider tipping me a coffee on my ko-fi page. It’s a cheap and effective way to support the blog and the work I put in it without being forced to any monthly subscription of sort. You can also attach a message to your donation!

(I know it’s not the video of the song, but I prefer using videos uploaded by official channels instead of those uploaded by random people: it’s a form of respect towards the work of the artists and maybe a way to encourage people to buy the original albums instead of illegally downloading them.)

Kanji-Romaji

Translation

Title: Song of the Moon

Are you too looking up

to the night sky framed by the window?

Connect the stars with a line and trace the drawing with the fingers.

“It is said that they can take you to an invisible starry sky.”

My voice screaming from here

will become the moon lighting your night.

Your smiling face, which looks sadder than a crying face,

hides the traces of your tears in your eyelids,

and if you paid attention to the night of a solitary person, we would bump into each other.

“I fell into the night and I could hear the sound of your tears.”

Because your voice screaming from over there

will become the moon lighting my night.

Because the sound of all the tears you cried

will become the reason of my singing.

Because our voices screaming from here

will become the moon lighting our night.

Because the sound of the tears fallen in the night sky

will become the moon lighting our night.

Notes and Other

A really straightforward song, it looks like a song to thank the fans. A really touching song which, thanks to its simplicity, stands out between the other songs of the album.

Title: Risley Circus*

This is a story of one pierrot.

a.a.always rains friday or sunday or today.
here can’t see　the sun and　the star.
order are going crazy.crazy.crazy.crazy.
d.d.d.dirty tent is noisy as usual.
I’m a makeup with a yawn.**

I aim at the apple and the knife flies towards it,

I do tightrope walking on a shaking, thin rope,

an applause for my accomplishment is my prize

but what will happen if I can’t make it?

Ah Love me.Love me. Look at me,
Look at me only
Love me.Love me. Love me
Love me only
A trick with a tamed lion
and a cat which has seen the back alleys.
I’ll skilfully make the big elephant balance on a ball
Love me. I’m so alone.***
Even tonight the me in the mirror is laughing.

upside down.****

I aim at the apple and the knife flies towards it,

if I fall it’ll be my last tightrope walking,

an applause for my accomplishment is my prize

but how will I feel if I can’t make it?

Ah Love me.Love me. Look at me,
Look at me only
Love me.Love me. Love me
Love me only
A trick with a tamed, killed lion
and a cat disappeared in the back alleys.
I’ll skilfully make the big elephant balance on a ball
Love me. This is the end.

I’ll jest tonight and even tomorrow.

The us in the mirror are…

Our dear you is…

Notes and Other

Words in Italic are in English in the original lyrics.

*=I’ve seen many horrible translations of this title, but I can assure 100% that the right translation is “Risley Circus” which is a reference to circus trick of balancing or rolling objects while upside down on a chair and using one’s own feet. The meaning is that Dadaroma compare themselves to clowns, entertaining people with their performance, seeing the world in a different way (because they’re upside down), considered worthy of some value only until they can make people laugh.

**= Another reference to the clown world. The meaning here is that he’s not himself but the character who he pretends to be.

***=can also be translated as “(love) only me”.

****=another reference to the Risley Circus.

The song is about how Dadaroma think the people look at them: clowns criticizing society to entertain the public. This image of the clown pops out in some other song from the album, for example the title itself of the album is “Stanczyk” who was a jester in the past.

You can’t even imagine how difficult is for me to start writing such content-less posts, so this time I won’t even bother and start right away skipping any form of introduction.

So, as you can see, now there a “translations” link up above the site which leads to the list of translations on this blog. I want you to notice that because it forced me to ask for help to “a person” (told ya I’m shit with these things). Anyway, looking to the data of the blog it seems it is coming in handy to many people out there so I’ll let a silent “fuck yeah man” echo inside myself.

Moreover, I hope I stunned you with the quantity of translation I provided in this two weeks, and I hope you to remain stunned for a bit more because I need to work on some other things in this period so I’ll necessarily slow down the rhythm.

Ah, Dadaroma’s last album is a masterpiece.

That’s it.

I know, there’s no content in this post.

I’m just trying to make this post longer.

Yes.

Bye.

DIV -イケナイKISS (Ikenai KISS) Translation

Kanji-Romaji

Translation

Title: Wrong KISS

Why does that make you so mad?

I don’t understand it, Still get my heart racing for you

LOVE FRIDAY Those words that I would like to hear drown out in the noises.

You won with gossips indulging on the morals, a dress code of sly scandals

and things obtained with faked situations? You are like a star whose gilt is getting unstuck.

Secret meetings, my brains keeps making secret plans, I only have a few time to explain…

A wrong KISS, my sight blurs,

while this stroboscope and the scandal won’t stop.

Let’s run away BOUNCE BOUNCE BOUNCE

somewhere ONE NIGHT, ALL NIGHT, ALL RIGHT?

It’s not easy like an “easy and off” sticker*,

the sticker attached to us, whose property is it?

Let’s find an uncivilized place and go there, that will be our original future.

Wrong KISS, premature cherry**,

I plucked everything without being satisfied,

let’s wet these DRY, DRY, DRY, vulgar people.

Why does that make you so mad?

I don’t understand it, Still get my heart racing for you

LOVE FRIDAY Those words that I would like to hear drown out in the noises.

And suddenly the main character of the story I desired isn’t Yellow Kid***,

all the actors aren’t here yet, right? Let’s walk once again this red carpet.

Wrong KISS, premature cherry**,

I plucked everything without being satisfied,

Wet me, DRY DRY DRY

everywhere ONE NIGHT, ALL NIGHT, ALL MY LIFE

So, you still hadn’t enough of these wrong KISS?

Notes and Other

Words in Italic are in English in the original lyrics.

*= stickers that can be attached, detached and reattached many times. In this context they refer to the relationship meaning that relation can’t be started, finished and restarted that easily.

**=the cherry is a symbol for virginity (especially men’s virginity).

***=Yellow Kid is the character of an old comic, his peculiarity are his stupidity and the fact the instead of speaking in balloons the words are written on his yellow vest. I still don’t fully understand the meaning of this reference here, maybe that the main character is not so stupid as he seems (I’ll try to figure it out).

The song talks about love cheating and the excitement that the person who commits it can feel along with all the hopes for a new future. It’s a peculiar point of view, don’t you think? There are so many songs about cheating singed by those who suffered it, this one is really original.

Dadaroma – Kurt Translation

Kanji-Romaji

Translation

The magnificent world

that we dreamt of when we were child,

the drunk hyenas* spoiled it,

it was made by papier mache**.

Hey Kurt***, if it was you,

what song would you sing?

I’ll strum my Fender Jaguar

and sing a song in the night in whom the stars are dead.

I want you to make me see again, again,

that stupid dream, just like that day.

I found it somewhere

and I played like I was in trance.

I couldn’t hear

the sound of the electric guitar of that moment.

Tell me Kurt***, if it was you,

what song would you sing?

I’ll strum my Fender Jaguar

and waste my voice in the night in whom the stars are dead

and there won’t be any reason to want to change something.

Anyway it goes, violate**** my heart,

violate**** it.

ah.
Rather be dead than cool.*****
Rather be dead than cool.
Rather be dead than cool.
ah.

I’ll strum my Fender Jaguar

right here, more, more, more, yeah…

and I’ll sing a song in the night in whom the stars are dead.

Anyway it goes, violate**** my heart,

violate**** it.

Notes and Other

Words in Italic are in English in the original lyrics.

*=Dadaroma used this words in SEX! to indicate the people who control society and pollute it. So it’s like a self reference, maybe we’ll see this word used more and more in their upcoming songs.

**=a really poor crafting material, it also breaks easily, so it’s relevant that this words is linked to “dream” in the song.

***=Yes, it’s Kurt Cobain, there are many hints that suggest that.

****=it is a very violent and crude verb, it also the meaning of “to rape” and “break into” and many other dark meanings.

*****=these are famous lines from Nirvana’s “Stay Away”, the biggest reference to Kurt Cobain.

I think this song speaks for itself, so I’m not going any further with my explanation.

Title: Pieces of Hope

I’m still walking this limitless wasteland.

And after all this time I can’t return to the road nor stop.

On this road I met people and parted from them. Even if there was no reason for me to be granted of all my wishes.

For all those people who became stars, here are these words that I hope can reach you.

I’ll sing a song to turn that day painted in black into something positive.

Hello, goodbye. My future, if your feet were stuck in the earth

on which rain wavering poured and solidified, the entwined thread will eventually untie.

It’s already morning on the west coast. Even so, in the sky in which the rain doesn’t stop expanding,

it looks like that hopelessness is floating quietly.

The second hand of the clock and the destiny keep moving restlessly.

To wish that “In this city the night may be shorter” on the night before the party,

I always did such things and each one of these experiences that I knew

little by little will open the heavy door of the future.

Hello, goodnight, sad future. I dropped into a world* I don’t know

I gather all of those pieces of my hope

and create a roller coaster whose other name is “possibility”.

Right now I’ll start the engine, towards my own new world.

If I take a deep breath and close my eyes,

I can see the happiness to forget the things to forget!

Hello, goodbye. My future, if your feet were stuck in the earth

on which rain wavering poured and solidified, the entwined thread will eventually untie.

It’s already morning on the west coast. Even so, in the sky in which the rain doesn’t stop expanding,

it looks like that hopelessness is floating quietly.

Hello, goodnight, sad future. I dropped into a world* I don’t know

I gather all of those pieces of my hope

and create a roller coaster whose other name is “possibility”.

Maybe there is nothing to change the way to glide these rails, but you will have already realized that it’s never too late,

it’s never too late, it’s never too late.

Notes and Other

*= the word used here means the group of people including family members and close friends and all the space shared together with these people.

Another j-rock song that got stuck in my head, it seems that sometimes I really need the simple positivity typical of these songs. Try not to focus too much on the meaning and just let the words carry you to the end of the song: that’s the way this song it’s supposed to be listened.

Dadaroma – dadaism#1: a brief review

7 June 201617 September 2018 ~ VKPoetry ~ 1 Comment

I don’t know how this will work out, but I want to try it, just to see if there’s some kind of feedback. So let’s jump into the review of Dadaroma’s first mini-album: dadaism#1

Review

A very solid first release, dadaism#1 is one of those single who really want to deliver clearly a message: and the message is that humanity is just a mass of corrupted robot moved by greed, sex and egotism. There’s no salvation except for a small hope hinted in the final lines of ベルカトストレルカ.

The title of the album suggests many different meanings. The Dadaism movement consisted of a group of artists that during the years of the II World War fled in Switzerland to leave the madness of war and nationalism in their own country: their works and shows were open critiques towards the society of the time and extremely experimental, two quality that can be assigned to this album as well. Also, the concept of “Dadaism” suggests the concept of disorder which may refer to the different themes presented in each song.

The cover of the album depicts a fish ( a clear reference to the second track of the album) and a withered tree which may be the tree of Wisdom of Adam and Eve (meaning that Wisdom obtained by men by committing the first sin has withered leaving nothing but sins).

That was a test. I quite enjoyed doing that and maybe I’ll do something similar in the future. Let me know what you think.

Title: Belka and Strelka*

I had hidden the knife into the desk.
It was for protecting myself.
There was no intention of wounding
someone. I want you to believe.
Please don’t see me by your sad eye.

A counting song enveloped in smoke,

the me who searched for the answer,

where is he going?

The rope slowly sways, people clapping,

the thought that “is this the answer?” and the sun end up trampling me down

Black sheep Insult Stage intoxication To play without showing one’s own face**

A falling ceiling, the counting song,

Belka and Strelka*,

where am I?

Ah, the dancing clown reflected in the mirror

sings to stop the tears on your face.

The apple on my head falls down***

I looked at the darkened mist and the moon and I checked if I was breathing,

please don’t cry any more, in the rain in which the sadness grows

I’ll become your umbrella.

Ah the dancing clown looking at the mirror,

to remove your tears on the mirror, wishes that,

if the skies becomes clear without anyone noticing it,

will be together with you.

Notes and Other

*=Belka and Strelka are the name of the first to dog to live for one day on a spaceship for Russian space projects, after that mission one of the two was assigned to space mission never again. I’m just taking a wild guess here, but I think that the idea that the title wants to suggest is “to part from someone who shared an important experience with us and to long for that person wishing to be together once again”.

**=I guess these maybe some critiques to the artist, but I’m not so sure…

***=I really don’t know what does this mean… the main thing that pops into my mind is William Tell but I don’t know how that links to the song.

Words in Italic are in English in the original lyrics.

I don’t feel confident enough on the meaning of the song to make speculations. If you have any idea please tell me.
