User blog:Vaffisuco/飴と鎖 Candy and Chains by Otetsu-P Tentative Translation

This song was also in need of an English translation, and was one of the earlier songs I translated circa 2012, which are horribly inaccurate. The song's page on this Wikia can be found here.

仲良しだからねと手を繋いでいる


 * Since we're close friends, we hold hands

何処かで聞こえる「初めまして」「さようなら」


 * From somewhere, a 'Nice to meet you' and a 'Goodbye' can be heard

繋がりを求めた鎖に繋がれた


 * I, who yearned for a relationship, is now tied down by chains

誰かが笑った浴びせる歓声


 * Somebody laughed, a heap of cheers that said:

おはよう　こんにちは


 * Good Morning Hello

ありがとう　おやすみ


 * Thank You Good Night

溢れかえる言葉　心地良い殻の中


 * These words inside of a pleasant shell/husk


 * These words completely fill the inside of this comfortable shell

生かされる罪悪感　不器用なこの頭


 * In my clumsy mind, my guilt is thriving

帰らなきゃ叱られるんだ　カラスが鳴く


 * "If you don't go back, you'll be scolded!" the crows cry

甘い飴玉　もう飽きてしまって


 * I've already grown sick of the sweet candy

少しだけ苦いあなたを頂戴


 * Give me a 'you' that's a bit less sweet/a touch more bitter

色は斑　交わりは偽善


 * The colors are uneven, a hypocrytical relationship

胸を締める鎖が愛しくて


 * The chains squeezing around my heart are pitiful

仲良しだからねと手を繋いでいる


 * Since we're close friends, we hold hands

何処かで聞こえる「初めまして」「さようなら」


 * From somewhere, a 'Nice to meet you' and a 'Goodbye' can be heard

どうして笑ってるの


 * Why are you laughing?

ねぇ、どうやって上手に笑うの


 * Hey, how can I laugh well?

生まれた感情はこんなにも歪でした


 * The emotions born inside of me were this distorted

生かされる罪悪感　不器用なこの頭


 * In my clumsy mind, my guilt is thriving

帰らなきゃ叱られるんだ　カラスが鳴く


 * "If you don't go back, you'll be scolded!" the crows cry



寂しくない　撫でなくてもいい


 * I'm not lonely, I don't need to be comforted

今日も逃げ場が待っている


 * Even now I'm anticipating my escape

本音殺して　欲を飲み干して


 * I kill my true feelings, and drain myself of desire

曖昧だった絆を笑ってる


 * I sneer at our undefined relationship

どうしようもない　どうせ男と女


 * There's nothing that can be done about it, men and women

「初めまして」はいつか「さようなら」


 * After saying 'Nice to meet you' will someday say 'Goodbye'

甘い飴玉　もう飽きてしまって


 * I've already grown sick of the sweet candy

少しだけ苦いあなたを頂戴


 * Give me a 'you' that's a bit less sweet/a touch more bitter

色は斑　交わりは偽善


 * The colors are uneven, a hypocrytical relationship

胸を締める鎖が愛しくて


 * The chains squeezing around my heart are pitiful
