the pillows- juliet

from runners high

translated by kevin steinbach

Yokubatte naiteta
O-ki ni iri no lizaado no kutsu’shita o
Yabutta puresento
Nanimo kikoenai ame no yoru ni
Rikki wo naisho de
Damatte tsuredashita

[Chorus]
Kumotta megane de
Kurutta jidai wo nagameteru
Juliet,
Don’t cry
Kimi no iro de machijuu wo nuritsuise

Imi mo naku saezuru kanariya to wa
Mou nidou to odoranai
Chikatta nichiyoubi
Machiruda to osoroi no
Raifuru o te ni shite
Shiroi juujika o neratte uchiruita

Tozashita kokoro ni
Yuganda kizu-ato kakushiteru
Juliet,
Don’t cry
Kimi no kage wa sou nagaku nobi-tsudzukeru

[Chorus] 		Loving them so much she cried
Her present had been shredded
Her favorite lizard socks
That night, you couldn’t hear anything for the rain
And oh-so-quietly,
She secretly took ‘Rikki’ away

[Chorus]
Through your clouded glasses
You watch this crazy age
Juliet,
Don’t cry
Paint the whole town over in your color

A canary whose twittering is without meaning:
I will not dance with him a second time.
On the Sunday that we promised,
We got a rifle
Like the one Matilda has
We took aim at the white cross and blew it away

You’re hiding your misshapen scars
Within a closed heart
Juliet,
Don’t cry
Your shadow keeps on stretching out like this

[Chorus]
