'Pride' romaji and translation
 

I'm not sure if my romanization is correct or not in the fifth stanza, and I think it's better to leave the translation part blank till the official lyrics are out. If you find any unnatural parts, please inform me.

Kimi no sono jiyuu ga mabushi sugiru
To yuu shoujo ni
Sonzai suru imi sura mitsuke rare naku temo
To kotaeta

Hito ga moshi nai mono bakari o
Nedaru ikimono da to shitara
Aa bokutachi ga hontou ni hoshii
Mono wa ittai nan darou

Sorekara no shoujo wa tada hitasura ni
Mogaita ageku
Komiageru munashisa ni kizuita toki
Arata na hakken o

Bokutachi wa itsumo yume o miru
Koto de asu e no tobira hiraku
Aa kono sekai ni tashika na mono nado
Nai koto o shitte te mo

Kitto aru mada minu basho ni wa
Bokutachi o matsu hana ga
Akiru koto ni narete kasoku shite shimau
Sono mae ni

Soko ga moshi kono yo no hate demo
Hito ga muda da to waratte mo
Tomo ni ikou akirameru yori mo
Kowai koto nado nai no dakara

"The freedom you have is so dazzling"
Said a girl
"Even if I can't find the meaning of my existence?"
I answered

Supposing man is a creature
Who is always asking for things he doesn't have
Ah, what is it
That we truly want to have?

And then
The girl just struggled and struggled
And when she noticed she was filled with emptiness
She had a new understanding

We always open the window to tomorrow
By dreaming
Ah, though we know
Nothing is certain in this world

Flowers are surely waiting for us
In a place we haven't yet seen
Before we are used to being bored
And our time passes quickly

Even if it's the end of the world
Even if people say with laughter that we are trying in vain
Let's go together
Because nothing is so fearful as giving up

Lovely lyrics. I love the meaning given to them.

oh! i love those lyrics!!!!! awesome, ayu! u've done it again!

Thanks for the lyrics and translation! I really like them.

Spectacular lyrics. :) Maybe her best this year.

Thank you. The song is better than I thought it would be. :x someone was right about it being "yuu" and not "iu"

Thanks for the translation! The lyrics are lovely.

They are very gorgeous lyrics, I love how they never repeat. They tell a little story ^^

i like this line:

And when she noticed she was filled with emptiness
She had a new understanding

thanks for always providing us with translations masa!!!

Like I said before Ayu has outdone herself again with once again another amazing ballad. I love the chorus, and the choir that joins in the stanza's with her.

WOW! Those are BEAUTIFUL lyrics!

Thanks so much for the translation!

Oh, those are beautiful! I agree that these are one of the best sets of lyrics this year...right up there with alterna. I have a hard time matching the meaning of the lyrics to the style of the song, but they are a lovely pair anyway.

Thank you!

Thanks, I like the lyrics.

I hated the song, but with such beautiful and meaningful lyrics, i think i should give it another chance... :`)

Thank you so much for this!!! ^^

Thank you so much for these! I attempted myself, but it's quite hard without the official Kanji/Kana (or even romanji)
i really miss this stuff....Ayu hasn't had this powerful feeling in her music for a while.
Thank you!
(and KORiA, rofl. I didn't know about that line)

Aww, I love the lyrics

thanks!!

Thanks for the lovely translation masa!

Ah.. I know how that "girl" feels. Lovely lyrics.

Thankies masa!! :D

O!! Thank you!!!!!

Arigatou, masa! You rule! :yes

masa-san, I don;t understand the stanza with the "moon".

"Supposing man is a creature
Who is always asking for the moon"

I can't find anything with "tsuki" in the romaji version... or maybe it's a symbol of something like "Supposing man is a creature who is always asking for more"?

And as always thank You for the great lyrics translation! I hope the official lyrics will be revealed soon and You will complete "Pride" (and "Bold & Delicious") lyrics!

I love that line. It reminds me of her Duty album lyrics for some odd reason.

According to the online dictionary, "ask for the moon" is an English phrase meaning "want things one doesn't have", and I thought it was all right. But this is a part about which I'd like to hear the opinions of English-speaking people.

I am not a native speaker of English but that phrase seems awkward to me... I never heard it before... but I think native speakers should be the ones to speak :)

At least I am now sure what You meant :)

Thanks again!

"Supposing man is a creature
Who is always asking for the moon"

That line is grammatically correct and it makes sense to native English speakers. "Asking for the moon" is a commonly known saying. However, since Ayu did not specifically use the word "tsuki", I would have probably translated it as this:

"Supposing man is a creature
Who is always asking for things he can't have"

Masa, I'm impressed by you trying to incoporate english sayings in your translations. :)

It's correct, indeed.

thx for the translation
weird as ussual but has a deep meaning
i love it

thank you for the romaji and trans! the lyrics are beautiful!

great lyric !! as always ayu ..
the song is great as well .. very dark .. i'm lovin it !
thanks 4 de translation !!

Thanks, SunshinSlayer. I take your advice. When the official lyrics are out, I'll edit my translation.

thanks for the lyrics but i had a little edit with it heres my version.

Kimi no sono juyuu ga mabushi sugiru to
yuu shoujou ni (nee san)
Sonzai suru
imi sura mitsuke rare naku
Temou to kotaeta

Hito ga moshi nai mono bakari wo
Nedaru ikimono dato shitara
Aa bokutachi ga hontou ni hoshii
Mono wa ittai nan darou

Sore kara no (Sore kara no)
Shoujou wa tada hitasura ni
Mogaita ageku
Komi ageru (Komi ageru)
Mune shisa ni kizuita toki
Anata na hakken ,Woahh

Bokutachi wa itsumo yume o miru
Koto de asu e no tobira hiraku
Aa kono sekai ni tashika na mono nado
Nai koto o shitte temo

Kitto ai made ni basho ni wa
Bokutachi wo natsu hana ga
Akiru koto ni narete kasoku shite shimaru
Sono mae ni

Wa Woah...
Abo made
Woah…

Wa soko ga moshi kono yo no hate demo
Hito ga muda dato waratte mo
Tomo ni ikou akira meru yori mo
Kawaii koto nado nai no dakara

Lovely lyrics :) Thank for translating, masa!

i liked the song, txh

Thank you so much for the lyrics (& translation), they're so beautiful :)

Thanks a lot masa-san. Really beautiful lyrics.

Because nothing is so fearful as giving up

Has anybody noticed that she has used a line like this before?
When I first read it, it sounded somehow familiar to me so I searched for something similar in previous lyrics.
And I actually found:

What is sad is to give up
(Naturally)

The phrase is correct but it doesn't seem natural to use it since tsuki isn't used in the lyrics... It feels wierd because a moon is something so specific in lyrics.

"Supposing man is a creature
Who is always asking for things that's out of reach" or simply "asking for too much"

As I supposed - one of the best lyrics this year ^^

thanks for the lyrics

Creatures don't ask for things. >_>

By the way, chocopockymaster's lyrics (they can be found in my "Pride lyrics. Highly inaccurate, PLEASE make corrections" thread) are rather similar to yours. =P

It's just poetry and thus there's more freedom. It could be a form of personification.

Why not? If the term "creatures" is used to represent human beings I think they CAN ask for anything ;)

^ <3 your sarcasm humors me

that's beautiful :) I can't wait to see the PV

Does this remind anyone else of Britney Spears' "Lucky"?

Those are BEAUTIFUL lyrics!

thanks for the translation masa :)

Thanks!!!!I like song "Pride":)

Here is another unofficial version I got from a forum. With both Romaji and Kanji.

Kimi no sono jiyuu ga mabushi sugiru
君のその自由が眩しすぎる
To yuu shoujo ni
という少女に
Sonzai suru imi sura mitsuke rare naku temo
存在する意味すら見つけられなくても
To kotaeta
と答えた

Hito ga moshi nai mono bakari o
人がもしないものばかりを
Nedaru ikimono da to shitara
強請る生き物だとしたら
Aa bokutachi ga hontou ni hoshii
ああ　僕達がほんとうにほしい
Mono wa ittai nan darou
ものは一体何だろう
sore kara no shoujo wa tada hitasura ni
それからの少女はただ　只管に
Mogaita ageku
もがいた挙げ句　
Komiageru munashisa ni kizuita toki
込み上げる虚しさに築いた時
Arata na hakken o
新たな発見を

Bokutachi wa itsumo yume o miru
僕達はいつも夢を見る
Koto de asu e no tobira hiraku
ことで明日への扉を開く
Aa kono sekai ni tashika na mono nado
ああ　この世界に確かなものなど
Nai koto o shitte te mo
ないことを知ってても

Kitto aumadeni basho ni wa
きっと会うまでに場所には
Bokutachi o matsu hana ga
僕達を待つ花が
Akiru koto ni narete kasoku shite shimau
飽きることになれて加速してしまう
Sono mae ni
その前に

Soko ga moshi kono yo no hate demo
そこがもしこの世の果てでも
Hito ga muda da to waratte mo
人が無駄だと笑っても
Tomo ni ikou akirameru yori mo
共に行こう諦めるよりも
Kowai koto nado nai no dakara
怖いことなどないのだから

Thanks a lot masa-san for your hard work !!

i love those lyrics !!

from what i see and hear from the music fighter performance there is only the first part that is wrong it's:

"kitto aru madaminu basho ni wa"

All the lyrics have become clear now. And I repost the romaji and translation changing and correcting several parts.

love ittttt......

Thank You masa-san for the full lyrics! What about "B&D"? Have You seen the full official lyrics?

You are welcome. I change the fifth stanza a little.

Flowers are surely waiting for us
In a place we haven't yet seen
Before we are used to being bored
And our time passes quickly

Great lyrics, great video, great song.

Yeah!!! now, that I understand (a little bit...) the lyrics from this single.. I like soo much!!.. thanks ^^

Thanks for the lyrics!The lyrics are so beautiful!

thankies but when are they gonna be completed????

There was one mistake in my romanization. Please correct.
juyuu --> jiyuu (the 1st line)
And I think it's completed now.

Thanks. The lyrics for this song is beautiful. =)

masa-san, you should edit your first post when the original lyrics come out. That way, people who find the thread AFTER the official lyrics are revealed don't have to scroll all the way down. It'd be much more convenient. Just a suggestion. ^^;

Thanks for your suggestion.
If some other members think it's better, too, I'll edit my first post.

Ayu may be back on her good lyrics spree! The first two lines are really good.

masa, it probably is a good idea.

wow... amazing lyrics^^ but i wudnt expect less from ayu!(lol i no i sound like one of those stupid corny ppl but who cares!) thx for the translation!

i was listening to pride and i think the first blank is supposed to be somethign like aru made ni?...xD;; i have no clue... im not japanese and i dunt understand japanese so im just assuming dats wat it is..cuz it sounds like it xD;;

These lyrics make me happy

I editted my first post.

hmm... food for thought. love her lyrics!

ooops... but at least i got it partly right?xD;;;;;;
