IA - Alicia

This is a song about a girl named Alicia and her adorable dog by a producer named Liz. I'd never heard of her before, but she did an awesome job with this song and I really enjoyed translating it.


The subbed video is below.




Original title: Alicia
Lyrics/Music: Liz
Guitar: Calpis (カルピス)
Piano: Mamusee (マムシ)
Mix: Kariya (仮屋)
Movie: 3tani (凹)

Note: I'm not sure about the romanization of all of these names; I'm mainly going by their Twitter handles.

Producer comment: "A song of wishing for dreams of happiness for you, who were always next to me."

English lyrics

A pure white world dyed in the morning glow
All alone, she puts a lock on her heart

In the endless darkness, the sound of the rain that was left behind quietly spilled out
The far, far off group of fish is running as though they’re flying through the sky
In this fleeting, crying fate, she hides her swaying feelings

The turning second hand is just moving without fearing the future
Her utopia is like a dream of playing the hero in a fairy tale

A trace of little birds reflected in the sunset
That drowned in the water’s surface on the other side of the sky

The gear that repeats the past grew rusty
The loitering heat haze stops her progress

The far, far off shadows of those days
The crybaby’s rain runs down her cheeks
There were one, two things that the lone, laughing flower had forgotten

The turning second hand is just moving without fearing the future
The thoughts she had painted in her heart were still facing backwards and crying

The lost person just embraces the nightmare of happiness so that it doesn’t disappear
Alicia is searching for the answer right now

The turning second hand is just moving without fearing the future
She wrote on the blank white pages
And gazed at the future, alone
