"Miteite Angel" is a B-side love ballad to Dorothy Little Happy's debut single "Jump!". Enjoyed this song a lot, one time I'd played it in infinite loop for a couple hours.
In the beginning and at end of its PV, we see the girls were indulging in a game of looking for four-leaved clovers in the green fields, because the logo for DLH is a four-leaved clover. And if you think four-leaved clovers are rare, think again. Kana has a knack for looking for these gems very quickly. Once she was out jogging in the morning, then veered off to look for a four-leaved clover at some garden and post it in the blog.
Also in the video we saw DLH posing for pictures for the mini PB that accompanies the CD.
Anyways, "Miteite Angel" is like a simple unrequited love song filled with lots of cliches. Sort of like George Michael's "Careless Whispers", also full of cliches but the song was not supposed to have some kind of big message in it. (Heh, I just quoted George Michael, damn I am OLD!)
DLH - Miteite Angel
Nihongo
見ていてエンジェル
退屈そうな君を見て 声をかけようとしてやめて
窓をつたう雨を見て不意に 君が好きなんだとわかったの
揺れながら 深く深く 君が今 私の中 広がるの
駆け上がった 丘から見えた
空の青 いつか2人で
明日もっと 近づけるように
きまぐれなエンジェル そこから見ていて
君が呼んでくれたから 自分の名前が好きになったの
泣き出しそう 初めてなの こんな気持ち 全てのものが輝くの
舞い上がった 花びらが作る
虹のコラージュ いつか2人で
明日もっと君が好きだよ
きまぐれなエンジェル そこから見ていて
想いがやがて 私から溢れて 君に伝わればいい
揺れながら 熱く熱く 君が今 私の色 塗り替える
駆け上がった 丘から見えた
空の青 いつか2人で
明日もっと 近づけるように
世界中のエンジェル チカラを貸して下さい
舞い上がった 花びらが作る
虹のコラージュ いつか2人で
明日もっと君が好きだよ
世界中のエンジェル そこから見ていて

Translation
Watch us, angel
Seeing you looking bored, don't be calling out to me now
While looking at the rain running down the window, then I realized that I am in love with you
While swaying deeper and deeper you now spread inside of me
One day the two of us will run up the hill
and look at the blue sky
Tomorrow we will be closer
Whimsical angel, watch us from over there
Because you called me, I started to like my name
Felt like crying, first time I've had this feeling, everything seems sparkly.
One day the two of us will make a rainbow collage
made from flower petals swirling upwards
I will love you more tomorrow
Whimsical angel, watch us from over there
Soon my feelings will overflow, I should be telling you about it
While swaying and warm, you have repainted my colours
One day the two of us will run up the hill
and look at the blue sky
Tomorrow we will be closer
To all angels of the world, please lend me your strength
One day the two of us will make a rainbow collage
made from flower petals swirling upwards
I will love you more tomorrow
To all angels of the world, watch us from over there
Waaah, thank you so much for translations. Jump and Miteite Angel are my 2nd and 3rd favorite DLH songs, you know. I always thought I had to resign and try translate them myself sooner or later, but my rubbish Japanese is not that good yet (and probably will never be, sigh...), so I'm very happy you translated the lyrics. Yay!!
ReplyDeleteDo you plan on translating Fuyu no Sakura too(my favorite #1)? I transliterated kanji and romaji on my notebook and tried to translate it, but I only caught some short line...
DLH is going to be a big part of this site’s future, so I am sure at some point translations of songs, blogs and so on will resume.
ReplyDeleteI gave Ryo DLH coverage so I can focus on other units such as the upcoming Idol festival, and he has a cold right now, but he plans to catch everyone up on the unit when he is feeling better
