Read the sky

I have been listening to Dreams Come True’s song titled “Sora o Yomu”, which means “read the skye” and I wanted to share this song with you guys because I really like the lyrics and if you are learning Japanese, this is a great song to learn from actually. 🙂

Dreams Come True

空を読む
read the sky

作詞：吉田美和
作曲：吉田美和・中村正人

思い通りになんていかない　愛したい人には伝わらない
Things don’t always go as we wish and the person that you love wouldn’t know that.
明日が読めるわけでもないのに　どうして空を見上げてるんだろう?
Why do we look up the sky when we can’t even predict what’s going to happen tomorrow.

月の裏側のようにここからは見えない　あなたの影を
I wish there was a rocket that could see all of your shadow that we can’t see from here, just like the back of the moon
全部見渡す　ロケットがあればいいのに

思い通りになんていかない　愛したい人には伝わらない
Things don’t always go as we wish and the person you want to love wouldn’t know.
明日が読めるわけでもないのに　どうして空を見上げてるんだろう?
Why do we look above the sky when we don’t know what will happen tomorrow?

強くなくてごめんね　誰に言ってんのかな?　涙と溜め息
I am sorry for not being strong. What am I saying? Tears and sigh..
全部詰め込む　ポケットがあればいいのに
I wish there was a pocket we could stuff all of these things.

思い通りにいかなくても　愛する人に伝えたいことが
Even though things don’t always go as we wish, maybe what I want to let my love know is making me look above the sky.
明日を読めるわけでもないのに　たぶんわたしに上を向かせる

あなたは何を思うのだろう　この空から何を読むのだろう
I wonder what you are thinking and what you will be reading from this sky.
永遠に知ることのない明日を　くちびる噛みながらそれでも待ってる
We bite our lips lightly and
We are still waiting for tomorrow, which we will never know what it is like

どうして人は空を　見上げるんだろう?
And I wonder why do we look above the sky…?
