IDOLiSH7: Our Incomplete Selves (Mikansei na Bokura)

oh wait I totally forgot I was going to do this. anyway WOW this song totally foreshadows what would end up happening with Yuki and Ban like were you guys TRYING TO DO THIS--

since this is romanized elsewhere, just translation this time!

Our Incomplete Selves (Mikansei na Bokura)
Yukito Orikasa and Banri Ogami, Re:member Volume 3 bonus
IDOLiSH7


I was convinced it was easier to be alone
but you taught me the joy of love
The future spread out before the two of us
I gently embrace your hunched shoulders

I want to turn this beautiful wavering
into steady light
On that day, we feared nothing

That's right, our incomplete selves
didn't think we could misunderstand each other [1]
as we looked up at the huge, endless sky
But I can only stand here now
because you were with me
We catch our breaths, begin walking, ah...
toward our dreams

If ever I no longer understand you,
my heart will drift aimlessly without hating you
On the boundary between doubting and trusting,
surely I will choose the latter

The light we're aiming for
already looks so close by, but
when I stretch out my fingers, I still can't reach

That's right, our incomplete selves
hurt each other with trivial things
Even so, we loved each other more than anyone
I can only stand here now
because you were with me
We catch our breaths, begin walking, ah...
On our separate paths

That's right, our incomplete selves
didn't think we could misunderstand each other [1]
as we looked up at the huge, endless sky
But I can only stand here now
because you were with me
We catch our breaths, begin walking, make memories, ah...
On our separate paths


[1] the verb used here is すれ違う, which is like… passing by or just missing each other, in a literal or metaphorical sense. here it's definitely metaphorical, so I went with "misunderstood," in that they "missed each other's intentions."
