Awfully Blue Sky / Eastern Youth

That man, beyond the clouds

I feel like he is calling me

Feeling like that, I pause on the street.

That man, beyond those buildings

I feel like he is waiting me

Feeling like that, I pause on the street.

Relentlessly shivering

Is this temporal existence of mine

Whose dream is this illusion?

"What a wearisome life such as this"

Sounds of a train in the distance

And an awfully blue sky above

I soothe my lamenting heart, and I walk

I walk through a crowd of people

With their laughter and cries

Coming, and then going away

Relentlessly shivering

Is this temporal existence of mine

Whose dream is this illusion?

"What a poor heart with this longing"

"Sooner or later, at the end of this life, we'll fall"

Note

This is an English translation of the lyrics of "青すぎる空" by Eastern Youth.

You can watch thier live performance of this song at YouTube. YouTube - Eastern Youth 青すぎる空.

And you can get the original Japanese lyrics written by Hisashi Yoshino at 青すぎる空 eastern youth 歌詞情報 - goo 音楽.

I hope my work will help some of you who love Eastern Youth and their music.

Many thanks to an American Eastern Youth fan, Michael Hart (Sincer1987) who helped me to revise the translation. I think his contributions have made my work almost complete.

You will find some nice English subs of Eeastern Youth's music by Michael at YouTube. Sincer1987 > Boiling Point 36°C English Subs and 踵鳴る (Footfalls) w/ English Subtitles, and much more ...
