Genius English Translations
ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION - Bitter orange (English Translation)
The flickering of a street lamp
The sinking sunset like marmalade
Migrant birds sing their good-byes
A chip on the rim of an opened bottle
Every day's bitterness fills the bottle

A black combat plane, a girl who’s lost her eyes
A nightmare in the desert like a bruise that never disappears

White walls in a high school
A girl hides both her wrists
She held on to her wish that someone would know

Tears fall and flow into the sea, and return to the sky
Your smile will stop the rain even if nothing remains here
Dry your cheeks, a rainbow arches over the traces of your tears
I hope the time will come

In the end, bring them together

A skeleton in the jungle, a young boy seeking everlasting peace
His long-time dream of fifty years is like a bruise that never ever disappears

The sleepless convenience store
Is the "everlasting peace" we now have?
His wish was left behind somewhere
But it is put on display here
Tears fall and flow into the sea, and return to the sky
Your smile will stop the rain even if nothing remains here
Dry your cheeks, a rainbow arches over the traces of your tears
I hope the time will come
Please... smile

Bring them together
Smile together
And everything will be as one
