'ourselves' translation

[masa]

* I hold you tight
I get touched
I get discouraged
I hold you tight again
I pull myself together
I get prim
You know many faces of mine

This road looks endless
But surely has the end
Only for once
I like to stop on the way
I prepare a way to escape
But it means nothing to me to do so alone
Because you know?
There is nothing but love
That is truly valuable

** So
I show myself
Only to you
Which no one in the world knows
But
I may still have
Some secret sides
You have never seen
Which no one in the world knows

There are so many choices
That I can't make any guess
Where I like to find my way at last
But as we walk side by side
Expecting the same future
I feel nothing is so true as your profile
Because you know?
There is nothing but love
That is valuable in the end

So
Even if no one in the world knows me
I wish you alone
To know me
Yes
Even if no one in the world knows us
We know each other
So well

** repeat
* repeat x 4

The tone of the song doesnt make you think that the song is about what its about. also the name doesnt give anything away either. the translation really wasnt what I thought the song was either!

Thanks Masa for the translation!

[shinjite]

[skyline]

Thanks for the translation! Its so Beautiful!!!!

[shinji1698]

thank you! It goes with the video~

[masa]

You are welcome.
I'd like to inform you there is one unclear word in the lyrics --- the first word "gyutto". "Gyutto" means "hold tight", but it's not written which she holds tight. But we usually use "gyutto" mainly in two cases --- "gyutto dakishimeru" (hold someone tight) and "gyutto nigiru" (hold something tight), And I chose the former, considering the content of the lyrics. But there is a little possibility that it's different from her intention.

I get prim

what does this mean?

[Piccolo]

I get prim, what does that mean? Thank you masa, you are the best !! Be the way, wouldn't it be a transliteration? Not translation? Just a guess...... Anyways, thank you very much !!

[masa]

In my dictionary, "tsun to suru" means "be prim". There is also a phrase "assume a prim attitude". Aren't they common English? Or can't I use "get" in this case?

oh that prim! hmm, not sure i understand the usage in this context though ...

[sxesven]

I'd never heard that word before

[Sutaru]

woah thanks so much i was wandering what the lyrics to that was

Lol when the video first came out, I kinda figured the lyrics would have nothing to do with it. But in a way, the video and the song both have very deep meanings. I love the song! go ayu!

[Masamune]

Arigatoooo!!

Beautiful and Sad song!!!
Totally Ayumishh!!!!

[Delirium-Zer0]

I'd heard the word "prim" before but only in the phrase "prim & proper"... it's an older english word that isn't in the vernacular anymore. I knew what it meant, though it does sound odd in the context. anyway, the lyrics remind me VERY much of the lyrics in "End of the World", anyone else?
