Translation of the song 迷子犬と雨のビート artist Asian Kung-Fu Generation

日溜まりを避けて影が歩くように

Like shadows walking along avoiding spots of sun

止めどのない日差しが路地を怒鳴りつけている

Endless rays of sunlight almost shout at the alleyway ground

風のない午後を恨むような　そんな土曜日の模様

It seems like the kind of Saturday that bears a grudge against the still air of the afternoon

人々は厚い雲で顔を隠して

People hide their faces behind thick clouds

行き場のない想いをずっと持って研いでいる

Always sharpening their thoughts with no destination

何もない街に埋もれても　それでも　今でも

Even now, when they’re hidden in an empty town

連なるウィンドウに並び立つ人形の悪い夢

A bad dream about dolls lined up in a row of widows

それとも倉庫に隠れて塞いでいたって

Or being closed up and hidden in a storehouse

埃だけ破って見つからない

Covered in dust and not being found

誰の手にだって触れられない

And not being able to touch anyone’s hand

僕たちの現在を

We may be just

繰り返すことだらけでも　そう

repeating our present

いつか君と出会おう

But one day let’s meet

そんな日を思って　日々を行こう

And thinking of that let’s keep on going day by day

曖昧な雨のビートの合図　寂しさが夜を満たす匂い

The telltale beat of the rain, and the smell of loneliness filling the night

吸い込んだ雨が肺で泳いで　深く　深く潜るシーラカンス

The rain I breathe in swims through my lungs and a coelocanth dives deeply

曖昧な雨のビートの合図　捨てられた子犬の呼ぶ声

The telltale beat of the rain, and the voice of an abandoned puppy calling

雑踏を分けて　僕に届くほら「誰か気付いて」と

Piercing through the crowds, a lone Could someone please notice reaches me

僕たちの現在を

We may be just

繰り返すことだらけでも　そう

repeating our present

いつか君と出会おう

But one day let’s meet

そんな日を思って　日々を行こう

And thinking of that let’s keep on going day by day

夜の街角の

And on the street corner in the night

土砂降りになって震える迷子犬も

A shivering lost dog under the downpour

きっとはにかんで笑う

I'm sure it will smile bashfully

そんな日を思って　日々を行こう

And thinking of that let's go on day by day

僕たちの現在を

We may be just

繰り返すことだらけでも　そう

repeating our present

いつか君と出会おう

But one day let’s meet

そんな日を思って　日々を行こう

And thinking of that let’s keep on going day by day

生きて行こう

Let's go on living
